You know sometimes you just ‘get’ people don’t you? You just click and hit it off.  This is how things were with Paul from the moment we met him when he worked (as a rather big cheese) at Chatsworth. He really is one of the nicest blokes you could wish to meet, kind, funny, thoughtful and great company. He has since moved on to pastures new and another amazing venue, and we miss him, so it was lovely to be asked to photograph his wedding at Tissington Hall in December.

You can imagine I was looking forward to it a tiny bit… Winter Wedding (check) Fantastic Couple (check) Awesome Venue (check) Snow (check) …..But oh no no no things couldn’t be that good ….. The Dark Forces had other ideas, and a few days before the big day I had a major set back with my knee, tore a ligament and ended up back on crutches and stuck at home whilst Si went on his own. I WAS NOT BEST PLEASED. So I sat at home and cried and then cried all over again when I saw the images and what a beautiful day I had missed.

Huge congratulations to you both, we wish you many years of love and happiness. xxx

I love winter weddings, there is just something very special about the atmosphere, things are always cosy and there are roaring fires and twinkly lights. When there’s a dusting of snow they turn into something magical.

Helen and Mark were married in a beautiful church ceremony and held their reception at one of my favourite venues, Hassop Hall in Derbyshire. It really seems to come alive in winter.

The whole affair was a true classic from start to finish, Helen looked A.mazing with a drop dead gorgeous dress and the perfect classic chignon…. Simply beautiful.

I cannot tell you how thrilled I was to be approached by the editor of a magazine wanting to use one of our images on the cover of her magazine. Talk about exciting! The image is from last December’s gorgeous winter wedding of Lucinda and Oliver. You can see the whole glorious affair here - Lucinda & Oliver .

Many, many thanks to Nicola – Editor at County Wedding Magazines www.countyweddingmagazines.com
