Rachel and Ashley married at the amazing Peak Edge Hotel on a glorious October day. For me as a photographer the best thing about October weddings is the light, and this wedding was one with beautiful low afternoon sun and a gorgeous golden evening glow. The other good thing about this wedding, of course, was Rachel and Ashley (and Ashley's gigantic family!) Rachel was beautiful in her stunning Nora Eve dress and Ashley played the part of the dapper groom in blue tweed. This was a day to remember - thank you so much for inviting me to be part of it.

Jen and Lee are two of the smiliest people I have ever met, and the infectious warmth of their personalities were a perfect match for a wet and windy October wedding day at Wortley Hall.

Sophie and Samuel married at Barlow Church with their reception at Ringwood Hall. Their wedding story was a perfect reflection of their lives together which features love, romance, farming and horses. Highlights of the day include Samuel whisking his bride away from church in a humungous brand new John Deere tractor (probably the most expensive wedding car ever), very emotional speeches, some cracking golden hour portraits, and crazy dance floor action.

The other evening Anna and Rob joined me for their pre-wedding shoot out in the glorious Derbyshire Peak District. I want to share not only some of their beautiful images, but also a few words about why I love pre-wedding shoots and what my clients get from them…

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
(Lewis Carroll - Alice in Wonderland)

This was an awesome wedding and, unlike the quote above, there wasn't a mad person in sight! Anita and Luke are made for each other and it shows in the subtle glances and cheeky looks they gave each other throughout the day. Anita's dress was styled by the amazing Vyn Johns (it looks stunning in the Peak District photos), and she had the most amazing pair of Alice in Wonderland shoes. The bridesmaids were an extremely lively bunch who supported Anita throughout the day and were also very able photography assistants, and Luke was accompanied by a great bunch of friends who seemed to know exactly when to take the mickey out of him.

Whirlowbrook Hall is always one of my favourite venues, and any wedding there is a wedding to remember. The grounds are beautiful, but the Peak District is even more beautiful and so we jumped in the car and headed out to Higgar Tor for an hour in the evening to capture some lovely images of the happy couple. Amazingly there is no hint of the fact that it was 2 degrees in the photos, but when two people love each other this much cold is no obstacle.

Enjoy the slideshow and pictures, and I would love to hear from you if you would like me to be your wedding photographer.

It's that time of year again - 2017 was a truly special year and 2018 looks to be an amazing year with lots of wonderful wedding stories waiting to be told. 2017 was made even more special with Helen and I joining the many happy couples tying the knot with our own wedding last July. I have been fortunate to work with many wonderful wedding suppliers and have forged many new friendships along the way. My highlight of the year, apart from my own wedding, was not in any single wedding but in the many stories my images tell and the wealth of memories I have given my clients. Being a wedding photographer really is a privileged job to have.

If you are looking for a wedding story teller to photograph your wedding in 2018, 2019 or 2020 then please do get in touch for a chat.

This is a video review of my favourite images from 2017. Enjoy - and tell your friends too.
