I love rainy wedding days! Now this might sound a bit odd but I prefer them to really bright sunny days. Most photographers prefer the flat grey light that rain brings to bright sunshine which means horrid shadows on faces and squinty brides and grooms! We have many conversations with couples about how worried they are that it may rain on their wedding day and we say the same thing to all of them. All the worrying in the world won’t stop it raining and if it does it really doesn’t matter, you will take it in your stride and if anything it will make your day even more memorable.

Of course a great venue with lovely interiors always helps so when we woke up to rain on the morning of Cath & Rich’s wedding we knew everything was going to be just fine….. Ranmoor Church and The Maynard Arms in Grindleford, Derbyshire – the perfect combination. Cath looked amazing in her fabulous ivory satin dress, the bridesmaids were knock out glamorous in the deepest purple and they had the cutest of flowergirls. The happy couple’s beautiful baby girl was a complete poppet and totally stole the show!

Loved it!

We recently had the very great pleasure of filming Lydia and Andrew’s wedding day at Thrumpton Hall and My Oh My it was utterly beautiful.

Lydia is one of the founders of the brilliant wedding and events magazine Save The Date so I expected some wedding heroics and crikey did she give us some – it was a truly awsome. She looked totally amazing from her incredible David Fielden lace dress and pink suede shoes to one of the best ‘up do’s’ ive ever seen – all thanks to the very talented James White Hair.

Guys, you are a fabulous couple and honestly one of the loveliest we have had the pleasure of working with. Thank you for asking us to be a part of your very special day.

We wish you all the love, joy and happiness in the world. xx

Well, the wedding day of one of my favorite families arrived and I was incredibly excited about it. I expected relaxed glamour and I got it in bucket loads. Honestly this family are just so COOOL ! Melissa is a superwoman and is the only bride I have ever known who found the time to prepare lunch for 25 as well as play a piece on the piano amidst all the preparations!

All of the family prepared together at their amazing home and then travelled to the gorgeous venue – Staunton Harold Hall – on their very own bus (yes they have a bus!) to spend time with their guests before they married.

The civil ceremony was both moving and hilarious in turn, with the children reading and the best man presenting the rings to Andy still wrapped up in bags and boxes! They followed with a blessing in the beautiful church on the Estate.

Then it was time to celebrate, the champagne flowed, and I mean REALLY flowed, the atmosphere was fabulous and everyone laughed and ate and drank and danced and it was just ….. well, just perfection!

We were joined in the morning by the extremely talented portrait photographer Jennifer Clare who introduced us to Melissa and Andy and without whom we wouldn’t have got to photograph this amazing day so thank you Jen!
