Derbyshire Family Photography at Elvaston Castle Country Park

Dominique, John, Joel, Jack & Ellie

You may remember Dominique and John from their beautiful wedding at Morley Hayes. I was in need of some models to test out a new Nikon camera and lens and thought they’d be a great couple to work with again. So I called in the favour and they agreed to meet me at Elvaston Castle in Derbyshire

We spent the morning around the woodlands of Elvaston Country Park – Feeding the ducks, drinking hot chocolate and playing with leaves. It was great getting to catch up with Dom and John and chat about everything from camera gear to neurodivergence

Autumn is probably my favourite time of year – both for clothing and family photography and it was wonderful being able to capture so much Autumn colour. (as well as the chaos of family life).

I’ve been trying to make this a less technical post – but for the photographers
All pictures were taken on a Nikon ZF with either the Voigtlander 40mm 1.2, or a Nikkor Ai-s 50mm 1.4
