April showers were the order of the day for Mike and Marie’s wedding at the Maynard in Grindleford, but we still managed to get outside for the “big group” shot and for a very quick Bride and Groom wedding photography session with Mike and Marie before their meal.
The very elegant function room in the Maynard with it’s paneled walls and ornate ceiling is ideal for civil weddings. Even in early spring the gardens are attractive. In between the showers we had bright low sunshine (which is not ideal for wedding photography!), but we did manage to find some open shade with early blossom trees forming a pretty background.
Marie and Mike very bravely showed off their Salsa routine, specially learned for their first dance. Very impressive, and a possible early contender for best first dance of the year!
