Small and Intimate Weddings - Derby and Derbyshire

How are you all doing? It's been a crazy crazy time. I've had very little on, as you can imagine. 2020 so far has been a couple of small weddings, an engagement shoot and a family session - so only a tiny percentage of the work that I'd usually be doing over the summer season. […]

An autumnal family wedding at The Salam Chapel & Whitworth Centre I loved shooting every minute of this - and I really love the autumnal touches, the warm colours in the flowers and details that really let you know where you are in the year. 

Wedding: Odda's Chapel - Ceremony: Overbury Village Hall Annelies and Louis married twice - their first time was in Belgium and I got to cover the second day of celebrations in England. This part of the celebrations is Super-English And what a day it was - it was very very rainy and I drove down […]

Wedding & Reception - The Old Vicarage Boutique Hotel Jo & Jonathan married at the Old Vicarage in Southwell - a Hotel that markets itself as one of the East Midlands best kept secrets - and I'd be inclined to agree. The wedding ran perfectly, the food was amazing and the grounds are beautiful. Entertainment […]

Wedding & Reception @ Eyam Hall  Today I've got a beautiful summer wedding to share. Julia and Alex married at Eyam Hall back in July. Eyam Hall is a Jacobean-style manor house in the historic village of Eyam in Derbyshire - and it is a gorgeous venue for a wedding. I started off with Alex […]

Emma & Mike Wedding - West Bridgford hall  registry office / Reception - Lutterall Hall Mike & Emma booked me a couple of weeks before their wedding. And it sounded like a fairly standard registry office,  village hall kind of affair. Except they didn't want any preparations and would like me to start at 3pm […]

Debbie & Jake   Wedding - Brackenfield Church / Reception The Hurt Arms, Ambergate I do love a good church wedding - won't you just look at that light. I also love covering the boys getting ready in the morning - I think it adds another layer of storytelling to the day. Debbie & Jake […]

Wedding - The Fishpond , Matlock Bath I've never seen guests get so emotional at a wedding as this one (and I've seen a lot of emotion in my time as a wedding photographer) Martin and Brett married at The Fishpond - a boutique pub set amongst the beautiful Derbyshire countryside (and one of Englands […]

  Preparations, Wedding and reception @ The Whitworth Centre That's right, I'm trying something new with the blog and including a slideshow. So take a couple of minutes out of your busy day and press play And turn down the volume if you're at work (you can thank me later) This Whitworth Centre wedding was […]

"We wanted natural, unposed photos and loved Simon's use of colours and light in his portfolio. His photos of our day are stunning, and really captured the emotions of a very special day." Wedding - Electric Cinema Birmingham / Reception - Hotel du Vin I've been so excited to share this wedding on here. The […]

Jen & Chris Married at West Bridgford Hall, followed by a garden party in Jen's parents back garden before heading on to Lubenham Village Hall to Lindy-Hop the night away. I'm going to hand it over to Jen & Chris to tell the story: How did you meet? On Tinder! We each swiped right. Chris […]
