Zoe & Will - A Glorious Sun-Soaked Garden Party Wedding at Dunston Hall - Derbyshire Wedding Photography
“Once upon a time, there was a boy. He lived in a village that no longer exists, in a house that no longer exists, on the edge of a field that no longer exists, where everything was discovered, and everything was possible. A stick could be a sword, a pebble could be a diamond, a tree, a castle. Once upon a time, there was a boy who lived in a house across the field, from a girl who no longer exists. They made up a thousand games. She was queen and he was king. In the autumn light, her hair shone like a crown. They collected the world in small handfuls, and when the sky grew dark, they parted with leaves in their hair.
Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
What is so miraculous about this wild world is that you can just as easily find your soul mate on the other side of it as you can in your own backyard. There’s no science to it, no clear process of how these things come to pass but all I know is that when that fireball hits you square in the chest, you have to take the moment and SPRINT.
Yesterday was a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories as I had the honor of photographing Zoe and Will's wedding at the enchanting Dunston Hall in Derbyshire. The atmosphere was brimming with joy, and everything fell perfectly into place to create a truly unforgettable day for the beautiful couple and their loved ones.

The sprawling lawns of Dunston Hall were adorned with various lawn games, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. Laughter filled the air as friends and family engaged in friendly competitions, forging bonds and making new memories.
Music has a way of touching our souls, and Zoe and Will made sure to enchant their guests with the mesmerizing sounds of Michael Mulholland. With his acoustic set, Michael serenaded everyone present, filling the air with melodies that perfectly complemented the joyful ambiance of the day. The music became the backdrop to heartfelt conversations, laughter, and dancing that continued into the night.
