Matlock Bath is such a fab little town, it’s basically like being at the seaside but without the sea with their Fish and Chips, candyfloss and arcades a plenty! But with the added bonus of some super cute vintage tea rooms too!
Earlier this month I was invited by The Fishpond Matlock Bath  to help with a quirky styled wedding shoot to promote the location as a wedding venue. Two real life couples modelled for us, Ben and Poppy who work at the Fishpond themselves, and Tiffany and Lee based in Nottingham who have previous modelling experience. There was also a team of wedding suppliers involved in the styling that specialise in helping brides add a bit of quirk to their day from mismatched vintage crockery to cinema inspired light up sign props, see the end of the post for the links! If you’re looking for a cool venue that you can put your own stamp on check out The Fishpond, also there are some great photo backdrops just on your doorstep! After doing some shots in the venue we wandered down the street to the lovely bridge crossing the river and also to a local sweet shop/arcade for some more image opportunities local to the venue, check out those colours!  What bride doesn’t want candyfloss, donuts, arcades, and fish and chips all within walking distance from their venue!?

I knew from as soon as I met Michael and Kayte at their engagement shoot at Speke Hall that they would be a joy to hang out with on their wedding day. They’re just a super lovely, perfect for each other, sweet couple! Plus Kayte shares my love of a bit of red lipstick and winged liner and was always going to go for the vintage look for her big day! Their wedding ‘cars’ consisted of the fabulous choices of a red bus and super cute VW camper!

They were married at St George’s Hall in Liverpool followed by a reception at Aigburth People’s Hall where they had cakes and macaroons for their guests and musician Calder McLaughlin providing their music for the night.

Now for the photos (Michael’s reaction when he first saw Kayte is one of my favourite moments I’ve caught at a wedding, it’s so sweet!)…

Having attended a fair few weddings now, I have to say there’s something that a live performer brings to the atmosphere at weddings that you just can’t beat. If you’ve headed over to my ‘Friends’ page for my list of recommended suppliers for your wedding day you may have already come across Jamie Beau and Lisa Marie Rose…

Today I wanted to introduce you guys to the two, very different, recommended weddings singers/songwriters. If you’ve been considering some live music for your wedding, whether it’s some acoustic loveliness for your ceremony or for your first dance and reception, Jamie or Lisa Marie could be what you’ve been looking for…

Jamie Beau

Jamie describes his music as ‘Acoustic, percussive, alternative rock-folk’. I first heard Jamie perform at a cabaret night a few friends of mine were involved with a couple of years back and he’s since been featured on BBC radio and gigged all over the country performing his own music whilst also offering covers at events and weddings.

Favourite artists to cover: Michael Jackson / Bon Iver / Mumford and sons Favourite song to perform: Sisqo – Thong Song haha! My music in three words: chilled, diverse & meaningful

He’s such a talented musician and his acoustic folk style is perfectly suited to both the ceremony as well as evening receptions.  He just recently put his heart and soul into his debut album, check it out!

Lisa Marie Rose

If you’re planning a vintage styled wedding Lisa is absolutely perfect! Inspired by the likes of Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash and Imelda May, Lisa perfectly captures the country and rockabilly sounds of a bygone era. She recently followed in the footsteps of some of her idols and recorded at none other than the legendary Sun Studios! If you’re after someone to bring some good old fashioned rock n roll to your wedding Lisa’s your lady!

Fave artists to cover: Hank Williams, Janis Martin, Elvis Presley Fave song to play: Lovesick Blues by Hank Williams My music in 3 words: vintage, country, acoustic

As well as offering her services as a stunning covers singer and guitarist, Lisa is also a talented songwriter in her own right, I heard this new song from her this week and it would make such a sweet song for a wedding!

Today I’m sharing this fun Brighton engagement shoot with you all. A favourite location of theirs, and somewhere I’d never been to before so it was amazing to have a good reason to visit Brighton! Such a fun, quirky and colourful place. It was great to hang out with Clare and Krisja for a bit before their wedding day, wandering down the waterfront and the pier before going to a cupcake bakery they recommended, visiting the famous Choccywoccydoodah and finally exploring some of the vintage shops! I definitely need to head back to Brighton again soon!

You can see Clare and Krisja’s Nottingham Wedding Photography here!
