The Pavilion Gardens in Buxton is a place very close to my heart. Hazel and I married in the bandstand there years ago. When Sheila & Matt approached me about doing a family shoot in the Derbyshire Peak District it was one of the first places that came to mind – especially  as the weather was being really tempermental summer 2023, so we needed places to duck into if the skies opened up. 

Luckily for us that didn’t happen at all – so I got to spend some time with Jasmine, Matt & Sheila as they climbed trees, played on the playground, practiced karate, splashed each other and generally ran round having fun. 

They are such a lovely family and so full of energy (especially as they’d already tackled Mam Tor earlier in the day).
