Back to the beautiful summer of August 2018 and I’m back at the lovely Ringwood Hall Hotel near Chesterfield for Sam and Ben’s wedding. One thing I love about Ringwood Hall is they always look after you and keep you well informed of the day’s schedule. As a venue that can host more than one wedding per day, the wedding planning is meticulous by all the wedding co-ordinators and those in charge!

So the ceremony was an early at 12.00 noon and was being held in the Chatsworth Suite which is really beautiful. I arrived early to photograph the latter 2 hours or so of the bridal preparations in one of the large suites within the hotel. Samantha looked truly stunning. My second photographer, Christina arrived to do the candid’s downstairs as the groom and his good friend Chris and the guests arrived.

Samantha’s beautiful bridal gown was purchased from Wed2Be in Nottingham and it was just perfect for her. The flowers were from Hilltop Florists and were just beautiful. Hair and make-up was done by the lovely Samantha Frearson - Facebook page over at makeup & go samantha frearson.

The cake was provided by Rosey Posey Cakes and the couple’s good friend Jeith was the DJ for the evening party.

Beautiful ceremony, funny speeches and just a lovely wedding day and I really enjoyed being Sam and Ben’s wedding photographer. So if you’re getting married in Derbyshire and looking for a wedding photographer, then please do get in touch.
