Working with Katie and David was a joy. Every moment felt joyful, full of humour and authenticity. The Chimney House was the perfect venue for the wedding day they wanted. A wedding day which felt chilled, unfussy and intimate.

Katie and David hired me for half a day which I’m super happy to accommodate whenever I can! 5 hours was just the right amount of time to tell the story of their wedding day through photographs.

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.

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.

Details of how the traditions and rituals of the day help to make for a happy marriage.

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.
