Anna & Kieron’s wedding took place on the 21st April 2012. If I ever saw a couple set to have the happily ever after fairytale ending then these were them!! The setting was Whitley Hall, one of my all time fave wedding venues. Friends and family clearly had a fabulous day sharing in the pair’s happiness. Hope I’ve captured many of the special little moments. Lots of love to you both xx

Jess and Pete got married on the 14th April 2012. The service at Kingdom Hall in Worksop was extra special as it was conducted by Pete’s Dad. After the ceremony the guests headed to Ye Olde Bell at Barnby Moor. This was my first wedding here, and what a gorgeous place it was… it was a delight to photograph this very photogenic pair! The party was getting started as I left with Pete unable to resist a stint on the guitar… what an amazing day, congrats and love to the new Mr & Mrs Jackson xx

I was really looking forward to this wedding, and I was not disappointed on the day!! When I first met Lynne she was so warm and welcoming I just knew we were going to get on great… The wedding ceremony took place on the 10th April 2012 at the beautiful Christ Church in Fulwood Sheffield. We were fortunate enough to have a mostly sunny albeit VERY windy day so were able to stop off en-route to the reception and get some gorgeous breezy shots!! Well done for not falling off that ledge for me!! The wedding reception was held at The Rising Sun in Bamford where the frivolities and German wedding style entertainment (the bride-groom Erich being German) provided a brilliant source of amusement for all the guests – the tights dance was particularly memorable :0). I can tell you two are going to be so happy together in your marriage and I wish you all the best for your new life together in Germany xx

Jo & Chris got married on a beautiful sunny March afternoon, the 10th. The wedding ceremony took place at St John the Baptist Church in Dronfield, with the wedding celebrations at Ringwood Hall in Chesterfield. These guys are absolutely lovely, so I knew the day was going to be a pleasure to photograph. I hope Mexico was amazing. Wishing you both lots of future happiness xxx

The 29th October 2011 was the wedding date for Lisa & Adam and Blackbrook House in Belper Derbyshire was the glorious venue for this wedding. There was lots to love about this wedding, some of my highlights include the splendid home-grown pumpkins adorning the tables and creating a beautiful orange and green colour scheme, the surprise appearance of two sheep dogs during the service (maybe not a highlight for the bride and groom but as a mad dog lover it made me smile) but most importantly of all the happiness radiating from Adam and Lisa was evident all day, there were so many beautiful candid moment and expressions to capture at this wedding, it was a joy xx

From the first time I met Lisa we hit it off, her lovely bubbly personality and enthusiasm for her forthcoming wedding on the 16th October 2011 to Faraz was infectious and I was excitedly looking forward to their gloriously colourful Asian wedding. Everybody made me feel really welcome on the day and thanks again to bridesmaid Zara for all her help and brilliant organisational skills on the day!! This wedding also involved me working with my good friend Shaza who is a make-up artist and did an amazing job creating the 2 very individual and fabulous ‘looks’ for the special day. I especially enjoyed our little trip to the Sheffield Botanical Gardens where Lisa & Faraz were able to bask in the beautiful sunshine and I could capture the lovely couple enjoying some time-out.

The celebrating started two weeks earlier on the 6th October at the Mehndi party at Kenwood Hall…

The wedding day itself took place at The Royal Victoria Hotel in Sheffield…

Sally & Dave got married on a beautiful autumnal day – the 7th October 2011. The day started with me photographing the bridal preparations at Christians at The Beauchief, Sheffield. Sally was a very laid back bride even finding time to decorate the cake in the morning and get everybody ready, she was so laid back in fact that it was a good job the driver of her car mentioned an earlier bride that had set off to the church minus her bouquet…. yes back to Christians it was! So in true tradition Sally kept Dave waiting at the alter arriving late for the service at Holy Trinity Church in Millhouses. After the service we headed to the Beauchief Gardens for some photographs (thanks again to the lovely bridesmaid Hannah for joining us and making sure the dress was always looking perfect). Back at Christians guests were enjoying a drink before the wedding breakfast and speeches. The evening started with the traditional first dance, and I’m sure the dance floor continued to fill as I left the happy couple and their guests. A fab day – many congrats xx

Karen & Carl got married on the 23rd September 2011, and what a beautiful day it turned out be. Friends and family had travelled from far and wide including the exotic climates of Mauritius where the bride is from, Barbados where Best Man Carlos is from and the equally glamorous Newcastle where the Grooms family had travelled from It was a day definitely worth the trip with Karen’s meticulous planning paying off & everything looking stunning on the day. We had the chance to stop en-route from the beautiful service carried out at Our Lady & St Thomas in Woodseats, Sheffield  before heading to the Maynard, Grindleford in the Peak District. A great day was had by all, many congrats to the new Mr & Mrs!! xxx

This was another wedding I was particularly looking forward to this year & was to attend as both a guest and the photographer. It was the wedding day of Barbara & Mark on the 17th September 2011 at Tankersley Manor. I have known Mark all his life so was delighted to be asked to photograph the day having previously photographed Michelle’s – Mark’s sister & Bridesmaid, and Olly’s, the Best Man. So it was lovely to see so many familiar faces…  Babs you looked absolutely stunning on the day, and so many people complimented your gorgeous champagne gown, I absolutely loved it. We had what the weatherman would describe as ‘changeable’ weather with myself and Mark furtively darting in and out of Tankersley to assess the level of drizzle – we did get out on the lawn though – so thanks again to all the ladies for risking hat/fascinator ruin and sinking into the grass! The finale of the day was awesome, who said Elvis was dead!! This was a brilliant day from start to finish & with Mark’s detailed preparations and precise spreadsheets everything went without a hitch. For a bloke that said he would never get married you looked very very happy indeed xxx

Kate & Ben got married on a sunny September day – Saturday the 10th. The location for the wedding was the stunning Hellaby Hall in Rotherham. Originally a 17th Century Manor House, this beautiful building along with its lovely gardens provides the perfect backdrop for a wedding. There was a lot of fun and laughter at this wedding. It was evident what a brilliant day everybody had. You both looked really happy – many congrats to the new Mr & Mrs Jackson xx
