We first met Joanne and Matthew what seems like an age ago. They both live very busy lives "down South", so had to arrange their wedding at the Lee Wood Hotel in Buxton on flying visits to the Peak District. But what a great job they did! They even managed to pick one of the best days of the year weather wise, and the day went off perfectly.
It is not uncommon for us to kidnap the happy couple after their meal for half an hour or so, and whisk them down to the local park, the beautiful Pavilion Gardens, for some relaxed pictures in the early evening - often the best time for wedding photography. At this time of the evening you can usually rely on the Pavilion Gardens to be fairly quiet so photography is no problem. However, on this particular evening the park was packed with people in town for a performance of "Shakespeare in the Park". We were down there for nearly an hour and a half and struggled to get Joanne and Matthew away and back to the reception at the Lee Wood Hotel. We got a whole bunch of great pictures. Here are just a few of them. A few more on our Facebook Page here.
Tequila shots for the lads, followed by cigars on the steps at the Lee Wood Hotel.
