Harriet & Danny’s Wedding Day in Ashover


A warm, bright celebration filled with family, calmness, and countryside charm

Harriet and Danny’s wedding day was one of those gorgeous bright, warm days that makes everything feel golden. From the moment I arrived at Harriet’s family home for bridal prep, the whole morning felt relaxed, joyful and full of anticipation. There’s something so special about getting ready in the home you grew up in, surrounded by familiar walls, childhood memories, and the people you love most.


Bridal Prep at the Family Home


The morning began at Harriet’s family home, an ideal setting for natural wedding morning photography. There’s something incredibly special about capturing bridal prep in a house filled with memories, the laughter in the kitchen, dresses hanging by the window, and loved ones popping in with excitement. It created the perfect calm start to their Ashover wedding day.

A Short Drive to All Saints Church, Ashover


The ceremony took place at the beautiful Ashover Church, one of the most stunning churches in Derbyshire. Harriet travelled there in her father’s Land Rover, driving through the family village. A personal touch that made the journey feel even more meaningful.

Ashover Church is a gorgeous, large, light-filled building and a wonderful choice for couples looking for traditional church weddings in Derbyshire. The atmosphere was warm and full of emotion as Harriet walked down the aisle towards Danny.

A Countryside Marquee Wedding Reception


After the ceremony, everyone returned to the family home where a marquee had been set up in the grounds. It was the perfect setting for a relaxed marquee wedding in Derbyshire, combining countryside elegance with a personal, at-home feel.

Guests enjoyed drinks, sunshine and plenty of laughter throughout the afternoon. The warm light made it ideal for candid wedding photography, capturing those natural, in-between moments that tell the real story of the day.


The Calmest Couple Surrounded by Love


Harriet and Danny were the calmest, most centred bride and groom. Nothing rushed, nothing overcomplicated, just a day filled with love, connection, and ease. They moved through every moment with such joy, surrounded by supportive families and smiling friends who were clearly so excited to celebrate them.

It was the kind of wedding that reminds you what it’s all about: togetherness, warmth and the beauty of keeping things personal.

A Perfect Day to Photograph


From bridal prep at home, to the beautiful church ceremony, to the marquee glowing in the evening sun, every part of the day felt heartfelt and full of meaning. It was a joy to capture their story in such a gorgeous, familiar setting.
