LOVE STORIES

POLLY & MICHAEL‍ ‍

I love photographing weddings that begin at the bride's home. Being right in the middle of the excitement as everyone gets ready and the day's plans come together creates fantastic opportunities for beautiful, natural photographs. The anticipation, emotions, and little moments shared during the preparations make for some of my favourite images of the day.

We then moved on to the Holy Trinity Church in Sheffield for the ceremony, followed by the reception at Hassop Hall in Derbyshire. On the way, we made a quick stop at Burbage Edge for a romantic photo session with just the bride and groom.

The weather wasn't on our side for much of the day, but thankfully, the rain finally stopped in the evening, allowing us to capture some truly dramatic images. Overall, it was a fantastic day and a great success from start to finish.

HELEN & NICK

We always love it when a couple chooses to do something a little different.

Helen and Nick celebrated their wedding at Fishers in Derbyshire, surrounded by a small group of close family and friends. The intimate ceremony and wedding breakfast created a relaxed and personal atmosphere, perfectly reflecting the couple’s style.

With its understated details and timeless styling, the day was effortlessly elegant from start to finish.

After the wedding, Helen and Nick chose to combine images from their pre-wedding shoot with photographs from their wedding day to create a stunning three-foot square canvas for their home.

It’s a fantastic way to bring together the story of their journey and showcase some of their favourite moments in a piece of artwork they can enjoy every day.

MADDIE  & TOM

My friends introduced me to Maddie & Tom, who needed a wedding photographer for their autumn wedding. They’re from Sheffield but now live in the North East. We connected over Zoom to talk about their plans. They planned a visit to Sheffield before the wedding, so we met in the Peak District for their Pre-Wedding shoot. Their wedding was at Doxford Barns in Northumberland, and my assistant and I stayed there the night before. I captured everything from getting ready to their first dance.

“From the very beginning, his professionalism shone through. Alwin provided invaluable advice to support our vision and was with us throughout the entire process. The experience was seamless, from the initial consultation and pre-wedding shoot to the wedding day and the delivery of our stunning images, all within just three weeks. We can't praise him enough, he made us feel like VIP’s throughout the process.”

BEAVELY & NEIL

In 2010, Beavely & Neil asked me to photograph their wedding in Venice, where Neil proposed. They wanted photos with the nostalgic feel of a grainy black-and-white cityscape book they loved. I shot the wedding on a Rolleiflex twin-lens camera, shooting on film despite my usual digital style. With limited exposures, I planned carefully.

I arrived early to scout venues and discuss ideas with the couple over cocktails at Harry’s Bar. The intimate wedding included close family and friends. Beverly wore a Vivienne Westwood dress, and Neil an Ozwald Boateng suit. The ceremony took place at the registrar’s office by the Grand Canal, followed by a joyful parade and a dinner at La Mascareta.

The photos became some of my all-time favourites.
