They were married at Risley Hall, Derby on saturday 30th April 2011 and after arriving there that afternoon to prepare to take their wedding photos I realised what a fantastic place it is. Set back from the road Risley Hall and it's grounds were a complete surprise to me, I live only 5 mins from there and drive past it an awful lot, but I hadn't a clue what was behind the gate.
The 11th Century Saxon country house is set in 10 acres of private landscaped grounds, walking round i found some amazing areas for photographing the happy couple in, a stone arch with a great set of steps up to it plus what looks like a secret garden. Inside the house is a superb window seat with the sun beating in the window, this created a wonderful place for portraits.
Within the hotel is the 16th Century Baronial Hall, which has been tastefully restored.
When Amy arrived with her father and the bridesmaids in a silver stretched limo I was ready by the rear door of the house. As they stepped out looking amazing, the bridesmaids in burgundy and the bride in a gorgeous White dress clutching a deep red Rose bouquet, I thought they couldn't have chosen a better colour scheme. It seemed just As if the house and it's grounds were designed around them.
I knew at that point that as we were blessed with such a great day that the finished images would have a great natural saturation and with the lovely deep colour in the outfits and flowers it was going to be great.
Congratulations Amy and Tom! If you get half as much pleasure from viewing your photos as I had taking them then my work here is done!
