Tissington’s gardens were in full bloom.

The terrace was a perfect setting for drinks and canapés and with a harpist playing the atmosphere was very relaxed.

The cats at Tissington are very friendly and Mr Norris (pictured here) particularly likes to be in the midst of everyone.  He was later found curled up on a chair in the middle of the wedding breakfast room.  He was originally called Mrs Norris after a Harry Potter character, but had to be renamed Mr Norris when it was discovered that he was a male cat!

Kim and Pete made for a great looking couple as you can see!

Tissington has dogs as well as cats.  As Kim and Pete were announced into dinner Hubba came to greet them.

The best man recounted the story of how Kim and Pete met including the demonstration of some kick boxing moves.

As we left the serious business of whiskey drinking was underway, under the guidance of an Irishman.  Apparently Jamesons is the only whiskey worth drinking :)

Finally a July day that felt like July! It was a hot and sunny day in Sheffield as Karon and Jeff made their final preparations for their wedding day. Karon’s shoes were the inspiration for her wedding dress.

Whirlowbrook Hall, Sheffield, South Yorkshire

As Karon was getting ready…

Jeff had left a gift for Karon to open when she got back from the hairdressers.

Karon’s uncle is a vicar and he conducted the ceremony which was a really special touch for them.

We had a day of weather yesterday!  One minute it was raining heavily and next it was bright sunshine!  The day started at Philippa’s parents home.

Fulwood Church and Bolsover Castle Wedding

The ceremony was at Christ Church in Fulwood, Sheffield.  The entrance to the church is stunning with all the beautiful trees and flowers.

While inside it is bright and airy.

The church feels so spacious and it’s nice to be able to see the bride and groom sign the register so clearly.  While Stephen took this from the back…

… I was at the side taking a closer shot.

The path is quite narrow so the guests have nowhere to hide!

Then it was time to be on their way to Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire.

I took this one as Stephen drove the car.  I was hanging out of the window to take this!

Despite threatening clouds, the weather was gorgeous at Bolsover Castle.  Perfect for champagne and canapés in the walled garden.

Back in 2004 we photographed the wedding of Katherine and Vincent in the charming village of Weobley in Herefordshire.  You can see a slideshow of their intimate wedding on our main website.  Today was a real treat for us as we had a visit not only from Katherine and Vincent, but their two daughters too!  Eden is nearly three and little Olivia is only 8 months.

Here are a selection from today’s session!
