Katie and Rob chose a beautiful autumn day for their wedding at Cressbrook Hall. Yet another day this year with wall to wall sunshine and clear blue skies in a gorgeous Peak District setting. It had been their wish to get married outdoors, and even though there was a slight chill in the air, they got their wish.
The day started with us arriving at Cressbrook Hall to photograph the bridal preparations at one of the outlying cottages, a short walk from the hall itself.

Next, it was down to Cressbrook Hall to photograph the guys before the wedding guest started to arrive. Note the specially commissioned neck ties that feature Katie and Rob’s dog “Bounce”.

Keeping the Indiana Jones theme alive, Katie, Dad and the bridesmaids made their entrance to the theme from the Indian Jones movie.
In England, civil ceremonies have to be held in a building licenced for weddings to take place. This means there aren’t too many venues where you can get married out doors. At Cressbrook, the trick is the bride and groom have to step into the veranda, which is actually part of the building, to say their vows. This makes wedding photography in this situation a little tricky as there is no good place for the photographer except in the bushes. So, in the bushes it was!
It’s not every day we get to photography the signing of the register in such a great setting.

The beautiful and well maintained gardens at Cressbrook Hall really are ideal for wedding photography.
Katie particularly wanted some of her wedding photographs to include Bounce.
The last word goes to Bounce.
