Lisa & Jon at The Chimney House and The Mowbray, Sheffield.

Lisa and Jon had a gorgeous October wedding in Kelham Island, Sheffield. They took inspiration from the Autumn season which made for a warm, rich colour palette for the details of their wedding day. The day was personal and intimate with their ceremony taking place at The Chimney House and their reception at The Mowbray. Lisa arrived in her dad’s vintage red car which was the perfect choice for this Autumnal wedding.

Flowers were by the wonderfully talented local florist Betty’s Flower Club.

The ceremony at The Chimney House was lit by candlelight - the red brick of the building and the glow of candles made the space perfect for their Autumn wedding.

After the ceremony we headed out into Kelham Island for confetti, drinks and some portraits of Lisa and Jon outside The Chimney House.

Before heading to The Mowbray we made use of some of the beautiful spaces inside The Chimney House for photographs.

After the ceremony and a few drinks we headed over to The Mowbray, Kelham Island. The two venues are close to one another meaning people can walk or easily take a taxi. Speeches were heartfelt and personal and included lots of Celtic traditions dotted throughout.

Details at The Mowbray were Autumnal, rich and warm in colour. A tarot card reader was on hand to provide entertainment which fitted perfectly with the autumn theme of the day.

Lisa and Jon’s autumn wedding was a dream to photograph. The day was so personal and we loved learning about the different rituals and traditions - we even took the longer way home after we had finished to honour the couple’s request. The colour palette and style of the day worked beautifully for an October wedding and my love of warm, deep, rich tones in images worked so well with details and both of their Sheffield venues.

Nicole & Jess

This intimate city centre wedding was an absolute joy to photograph. Nicole and Jess celebrated with their children and closest family and friends at one of my all time favourite wedding venues - The Chimney House in Sheffield is such a beautiful venue, bursting with character, charm and quirks reflecting Kelham Island’s unique history.

The ceremony was gorgeous with beautiful florals and candles in an array of vases and coloured glass bottles. The team at the Chimney House really know what they’re doing when it comes to decor and the red brick of the building creates such a beautiful, warm energy.

Beautiful details were natural, warm and relaxed.

After the ceremony we went for a wander around Kelham Island to make some unique photographic art with Nicole and Jess - I really love to spend twenty minutes alone with couples to ensure we have some stunning portraits to reflect the unique relationship they share. It’s also a really lovely breather for couples where they can spend some time being a newly married couple away from the hustle and bustle of the day. Kelham Island itself is a dream for photographers and couples who love texture and colour in their photographs and Nicole, Jess and I were very much on the same page about the images we wanted to create.

The day ended with speeches and a feasting style meal - lots of plates of food passed person to person which brought such a relaxed, informal and celebratory energy to Jess and Nicole’s wedding day.

Nicole and Jess were a joy to work with and, whilst it’s obviously a day they’ll never forget, I will never forget the day either - their warmth and gorgeous energy meant I left the day feeling so joyful and light for days to come.

Love,

Laura
