Peak District wedding photography

Last week brought about two new experiences. First was a wedding in the Peak District and second was being a second shooter to Jonny MP Photography. Having two photographers at your wedding is an option I offer my clients – especially for those have a wedding of 150+. It adds depth to the overall wedding gallery plus you walk away with many more candids from the day. You will also see a range of angles you otherwise wouldn’t have done.

Lower Damgate Farm

We were blessed with what felt like the first warm day of the year and Phoebe and Luke were a total joy to be around. They officially tied the knot at St Oswalds in Ashbourne before crossing over the hills towards Dovedale and Lower Damgate Farm. The couple had no connection to the area but were drawn to the fact they could have a farm type wedding that could host all their friends and family. And you can’t go wrong with the stunning Peak District National Park. The venue doubles up as an animal sanctuary so regular photo bombers include alpacas and goats (see below). Guests have 22 acres of land to explore here and inside is equally impressive with a high vault ceiling decorated with twinkly fairy lights.

Reception

The weather was perfect and guests enjoyed garden games as well as animal spotting.

Golden hour

Phoebe and Luke were also luckily enough to get a golden hour which meant a lovely evening stroll rolling on 8.30pm. Often seen as one of the more relaxed parts of the day, golden hour for couples is a chance to stand back from their day and take it all in. It’s only then they can absorb and start to process the whole day while also having some gorgeous shots to boot!

Phoebe and Luke were heading off to Mauritius the next day. A far cry from the Peak District but what a way to end their celebrations and start their new life together. Thanks guys, it was great to be a part of your day! If you’re looking for a relaxed documentary style of photography which delivers photos with plenty of feeling don’t hesitate to get in touch.
