Tom Hodgson Photography Storytelling wedding photography that captures all the fun + feels without the awkward posing! I genuinely get excited to document each wedding I am part of!

If you want to feel relaxed on your wedding day and free to enjoy all the fun and feels of the day then we’re off to a great start! I believe in an authentic style of coverage that shows how it really felt to be at your wedding. To document the day, not direct it, leaving you guys spending more time with your guests and without any awkward posing. Timeless wedding photos are so important and the t

rue value of a photo happens when the moment has gone. I’ve been lucky to immortalise so many memories for my wedding couples over the last 12 years.

Tori + James, what a day.

The kind of hot, blue-sky summer day they’d hoped for, and it delivered from start to finish.

I spent the morning with them both as they got ready apart. James was with his groomsmen, kept calm and well entertained, and that whisky glass gift he opened barely left his hand once the reception rolled around. Tori slipped into her dress and her custom Converse, comfort sorted for the long day ahead.

Then the first look in the garden with her dad and bridesmaids. Not many dry eyes for that one.

The service was at their family church in Spinkhill, before we headed down into the village for a few photos and a pint poured for one another in the pub where they first met. Where the whole story started.

Back to Thornbridge Hall for the reception, and what a setting for an afternoon of sunshine. Laughter everywhere. Bubbles flowing, garden games, canapés doing the rounds, and a proper debate over white socks with shoes and a suit. Tables named after their favourite drinks, which felt exactly right.

Everyone had a brilliant time, Tom and I included. Always good to be working alongside Tom from Hitched Productions again too.

Sophie and James. Losehill House. Rain and all.

When the weather doesn’t cooperate at a Peak District wedding, you find out pretty quickly what the day is really made of. And this one? It was made of handwritten vows that made the room go quiet, confetti so generous it took up permanent residence in James’s hair, a live sax pushing a dancefloor way past the point of no return, and a group of lads who decided the best way to celebrate was locked arm in arm, braces and all.

Sophie’s shoes deserve their own mention. Floral, beautiful, and somehow the perfect full stop to a wedding where flowers weren’t just a detail but a thread running through the entire day.
These two are surrounded by the best kind of people. You can see it in every frame.

Knockerdown Cottages on Saturday and what a day it was. Handmade bunting, paper lanterns, smorgasbord canapes, Pieminster pies, and garden games with a crowd who absolutely relished the competition.
The weather kept us on our toes, and despite all the outdoor prep, we brought the ceremony inside under those lanterns. Ellie walked down the aisle flanked by her dad and grandad, and I challenge anyone to have kept it together at that moment. Ben’s brother delivered a best man speech that was full of real heart, the kind that reminds you why these days matter so much.
Skye was in the brilliant care of Lauren from Dog Club Derby throughout, popping in at different points to check on her humans. The cake even had a little model Skye at the base, looking like she’d already had first dibs before anyone else got a look in.
Ellie and Ben, you had so much love around you on Saturday. Genuinely grateful to have been part of it.

Shauna + Vincent.

There’s something about photographing a bride in her own home, her first home together with the person she’s about to marry, that hits differently. Shauna surrounded by her favourite people, no masks, no performance, just her. Fully herself. Fizz in hand (and, briefly, on her glasses). The Grand National on someone’s phone in the corner. Lorna and I even got a little celebration gift of our own, which we did not expect and will not forget.

Then, as if the day hadn’t already given us enough, the gardens handed us that golden April light that makes you feel like you earned it. Vincent’s face during the first dance said everything the words didn’t need to.

What a privilege. What a pair.

Emma + Zac | The Maynard, Grindleford

A day that had everything. Joy in the bridal prep. A connection between Emma and her sister Katie was one of those things you just feel through the lens. Special doesn’t cover it. Irony in the groom’s room (Zac, marrying into a family of optometrists, could not get his contact lenses in), and a church service led by a friend and priest who’d travelled with them from Wales. Confetti everywhere. A relaxed walk down to Padley Gorge. Canapés, garden games, and speeches that delivered. Pizza in the evening, a cake moment entirely on Emma’s terms, and a dancefloor that simply refused to empty.

Always a pleasure having my brother from another .uk shooting alongside me. This one will stay with me.

Jessica & Ryan | 07.04.26 💍

From brass band fanfares to dancing back down the aisle to Dancing Through Life, this day was pure magic from the very first note. St Edmund’s Church in Castleton, the same walls that witnessed Jess’s parents say “I do,” and now theirs too.

Juice boxes and homemade cookies straight out of church. Confetti everywhere. Table names pulled from their favourite lyrics, table captains wearing their hats like they meant it, and a seating plan designed to turn strangers into friends by dessert. Garden games, a signature Old Fashioned for Ryan, a French 75 for Jess, two London cabs, one bus, a lot of Disney energy, and a little country soul woven throughout.

Oh, and every single bite? Completely gluten free. Not a compromise in sight.

Some weddings are beautiful. This one was fun, from the first hymn to the last dance. Congratulatons, Jess & Ryan. 🎉

Sharnie & Will’s micro-wedding had everything: a cake-transport mishap, rain that turned into the dreamiest afternoon light, and the start of what looked like an incredible night at Piedaniel’s before wandering into Bakewell. We even popped into Riverside Fish & Chips and sat on the exact bench where they had their very first date — pure magic.

Their handwritten vows were so raw and heartfelt that I was genuinely close to tears… and yes, they’re big Chris Stapleton fans, so the soundtrack to the day was impeccable.

Sneak peeks incoming — these two absolely smashed it. 🥂📸

Emma + Tom.

A little sneak peek from Emma + Tom’s beautiful day last week ✨
It was such a joy to spend a few hours with them, capturing the moments that mattered most with the people who matter most. We even nipped over to Padley Gorge for some golden-hour magic… and wow, that light delivered.

Their kind words honestly mean the world:
“Tom, thank you so much for yesterday! You were amazing and you put Tom at ease so much, on a day he was so nervous. You brought so much calm and fun. Everyone said how wonderful you were. We really enjoyed the day, and even without seeing the photos, can say that we are so happy we chose you as our photographer”

“Oh wow Tom, we are blown away! Thanks so much for sharing the preview photos so soon and for doing such an amazing job. Tey are wonderful ❤️”

Heading over to Barlow Woodseats Hall tomorrow for their wedding fayre, so it felt like the perfect time to share a few moments from the amazing weddings I’ve photographed there. 🌿🤍

This place just has something about it. The historic charm, the cosy nooks, the rolling countryside and that incredible Hall backdrop all come together to create the kind of setting where storytelling photography really comes alive. And of course… the famous peacocks wandering around like they own the place — basically part of the bridal party at this point. 🦚

It’s been so lovely looking back through the weddings I’ve captured here — couples who’ve been lucky enough to celebrate their day in such a special spot. Every time I’m here, the light hits differently, the grounds reveal some new pocket of magic, and it’s impossible not to get excited about what the day will bring.

From emotional ceremonies in the rustic barn, to golden-hour portraits, to dancefloors that always seem to go off, Barlow Woodseats Hall is a dream for relaxed, natural storytelling. And I can’t not mention the food… the pizzas, the grazing boards, the whole menu — honestly some of the best wedding food around. 🍕🔥

I can’t wait to be back shooting the weddings I’ve already got booked in for next year — it’s always a pleasure returning to a place that feels this inspiring.

If you’re popping down to the fayre, come say hi — I’d love to chat all things weddings, photography and your plans for the big day.

Hayley + Aarron at The Pheasantry Brewery… what a Bonfire Night dream. 🔥✨
Their favourite day of the year became their favourite day ever — a gorgeous autumnal celebration wrapped in warm colours, sparklers, fireworks and all the cosy magic of November. From Aarron’s heroic round trip to rescue the forgotten suits, to the mountains of petal confetti, the whole day was full of joy, personality and those beautifully honest moments that make a wedding feel so real.

Emotional speeches, laughter through tears, a surprise video message from Robbie Savage(!), and a dancefloor absolutely bouncing with LED foam tubes to finish it all off…
