When E&D contacted me to say “We are not planning a typical 'wedding' and want to privately exchange some vows/special words at a countryside walk in the peak district which means a lot to us”. I did a little dance, everything about this idea completely resonated with me.
E went on to say - “This is something I've always thought about doing and it would mean so much having these moments caught on camera. We are not very confident having our photos taken and can be quite awkward”…..
I LOVED this opportunity. These photos were taken the evening before their intimate civil ceremony in Sheffield and are anything but awkward. I cannot think of anything more perfect to be a part of. E&D it was a huge honour to be able to capture these images to commemorate your marriage in a location that means so much to you. Thank you for your trust.
Intimate elopements are increasing in my calendar, many couples want to step away from the larger celebrations in favour of something personal, poignant, less ostentatious or overwhelming. As a photographer with 13 years experience shooting people who feel uncomfortable in front of the camera in and around The Peak District.
In addition to your Elopement photographs. I offer help with planning, suggesting locations and timings for the optimum light of each season. Can suggest venue options for your legal civil ceremony to suit your requirements and personalities. Wonderful celebrants (I’ve worked with) to lead personalised wedding vows at your epic / picturesque location. Also specialist, trusted, bridal hair, makeup and floral suppliers. Caterers and a wealth of unique places for you to dine, picnic or celebrate and accommodation for all budgets and tastes.
If you are considering eloping or holding a smaller celebration with close friends or family in The Peak District, I can help.
Insightful photography that feels like you. Photographer
