Sandie and Andy married at Hassop Hall and managed to pick one of the nicest days of the month, the weather was perfect for enjoying the gardens at Hassop.

The boys walked to the nearby pub for a quick drink before the ceremony.

Meanwhile the girls were getting ready at Sandie’s family home.

Charlotte and Stephen married at Sutton Bonington Hall

Charlotte was getting ready at home with the girls.

Lovely details.

Meanwhile the boys were getting ready at the best man’s house.

Charlotte had the best chauffeur service possible – driven to Sutton Bonington Hall by her dad in his own immaculate 1961 MkII Jaguar.  He’s been restoring it for the last three years and it looked fabulous.

Meanwhile the boys arrive at Sutton Bonington Hall.

Then it was Charlotte’s turn to arrive.

Then the ceremony was quickly underway!

Then it was outside to the gardens

Sutton Bonington Hall is a beautiful venue.

More gorgeous details including the top of the cheese stack (instead of the standard wedding cake, Charlotte and Steve chose to have a cheese stack).

Guests enjoyed drinks inside the house.

Then it was time for dinner and Steve and Charlotte are announced into dinner.

Charlotte and Steve provided modelling balloons for the guests and everyone competed to win a prize for the best model

Elizabeth chose some lovely and pretty accessories.

The venue was very pretty with soft pink gerberas and chiffon bows decorating the chairs.

Guests gathered and enjoyed the gardens before the ceremony.

The bouquets were gorgeous.

Elizabeth’s dad walked her through the gardens to the orangery where the ceremony took place.

It’s not everyday that a wedding has such special guests as these donkeys, Jack and Del Boy!

Our first wedding of 2010 was Maggie and Gareth’s wedding at Shottle Hall near Belper in Derbyshire.

Maggie was getting ready upstairs at Shottle Hall.

Maggie’s dress was stunning.

Every detail was gorgeous and carefully thought out.

A final look before heading downstairs to meet Gareth and begin the ceremony.

Gareth and Maggie look on as Gareth’s grandmother acts as a witness and signs the register.

Gareth and Maggie take a moment after the ceremony before meeting and greeting their guests.

The weather was wonderful, especially for February.

It’s not everyday that a bride and groom go running through a field!  Maggie had bought some wellies with her especially so she could go out and about without worrying about her shoes!

Maggie’s brother gave her away and also gave a speech.

Gareth had two best men.

Maggie and Gareth danced to “Defying Gravity” as their first dance.

Then their band, Zephyr, got the party going.

Congratulations to Maggie and Gareth!

This weekend was the wedding of Samantha and Colin at The Priest House Handpicked Hotel near Castle Donnington in Derbyshire.  Preparations began at Sam’s family home with her family and bridesmaids.

Waiting for her grand entrance.

Gran waits too.

Colin chats with his mum while they wait.

Then it’s all smiles as Sam arrives.

Lots of kissing!

Sam and Colin kissed three times during the ceremony

After the ceremony Sam threw the bouquet to all the unmarried girls.

All good fun

It was raining outside but there’s a huge window upstairs at The Priest House so we took advantage of the natural light there.

The tables were set out beautifully.

The room was lovely.

Romance was everywhere!

Sam chats with her guests.

The best man enjoys his speech.

There is a spiral staircase up to the bridal suite so we took advantage of the setting for a few more shots of Sam and Colin.

A quick touch-up in the ladies.
