Destination wedding in Denmark | Laura & Kasper

Last year I was lucky enough to find myself on my way to Denmark to shoot Laura and Kasper's wedding at Clausholm Slot. I love, love, love a destination wedding and getting the chance to explore a new place. Shooting a wedding in a different country can give you totally different light to work with and new traditions to keep you on your feet. Having shot a half Danish wedding in England the year before I'd had a taster of what to expect, but the full experience was awesome. The reception was filled with speeches and songs and kissing (on top of and under the table). Laura and Kasper were so much fun to work with… after shooting a wedding at which Laura caught the bride's bouquet it was especially lovely to go on to shoot their wedding too. I loved the little Lego touches to the decor… the highlight of which was the incredible homemade Lego cake complete with crane, construction workers, trees and bride and groom mini figures…. amazing. Everyone made me feel right at home... these two are just good hearted people (with the most adorable little boy!) and it was bloody ace.

That's all for now! I've got my first wedding following my winter break tomorrow so I can't wait to get back in the swing of things. Check out my Facebook page for updates!

Shottle Hall, Derbyshire Wedding | Alex + Sarah

I hope you're all having an awesome day! Aside from website stuff I've been all over a big pile of crumpets and marathoning Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I totally needed something now Parks and Recreation has left a huge hole in my life. Between this and Danger 5, I think I might just make it through! Any other show recommendations you can hit me with are totally appreciated. So.. on with the blogging...

Shottle Hall, nestled in the Derbyshire countryside between Wirksworth and Belper, is such a sweet little venue. I've shot a couple of weddings there now and I love exploring the grounds. Sarah and Alex's wedding was right up my street. I arrived to the sounds of Tigermilk by Belle and Sebastian on their record player… just the perfect way to start a day full of sci-fi goodness, vintage dresses and fun and games. From the comic book ties to the Star Trek figures, the Star Wars cupcakes to TARDIS card box it was a total feast for my geeky eyes. So many amazing moments in the day… dancing in the dining room, personalised vows, light sabre battles, hugs and space hopper races.
