A sea of Lavender and Love, Derbyshire Wedding – Lauren and Mike

“You managed to capture so many people down to a tee. So blessed to have you as our photographer! Thank you Thank you Thank you!”

Lauren and Mike tied the knot at an outside ceremony in Risley, Derbyshire on a gorgeous late summer day. I knew from our first meeting this would be a totally amazing wedding to photograph, because this couple did everything their own way. They decked out the hall in lovingly homemade decor, had their nearest and dearest make their food and wedding cake (complete with ‘Game of Thrones’ figures) and the bride’s Aunt performed the beautiful ceremony. Lauren styled up a gorgeous high street shirt and lace crop top with some Vivienne Westwood heels, and they lavished lavender absolutely everywhere!

Just like all the best weddings, their theme wasn’t anything specific, it was just them. They had fun movie references including framed quotes and an ‘Adventure Book’ just like in Disney’s UP which was also their guest book. Guests wrote their name and an adventure for them to complete during their marriage, how fun is that?! Come evening their friends and family enjoyed sparklers and loved the Star Wars photobooth!

They were a pleasure to photograph, and because of their easy-going nature and the fact they’re so crazy for each other, it made my job  pretty easy! Their friends and family provided a warm and generous welcome and the love just radiated off them into the evening.

Thank-you so much for reading!
