Award-Winning Documentary Weddings in Derbyshire
It’s fantastic to have both images that we submitted to Your Perfect Wedding Photographer Wedding Blog featured on their ’Sparkler Moments’ Collection.
The images that we chose to be submitted were from the stunning and stylish wedding of the super lovely couple Sammy-Jo and Jamie. Here’s some more about their amazing wedding day.
The lovely Sammy-Jo and Jamie celebrated their stunning Derbyshire wedding in style with a contemporary industrial chic affair at the magnificent and arresting venue, The West Mill Derby, situated in Darley Abbey, Derby, a village renowned for its 18th century industrial heritage.
This fabulous occasion was not short of personality, style and finesse. This super creative couple ensured each element well and truly reflected their fantastically vibrant character and passion.
The historic yet contemporary wedding venue within this lovely historical village, and just on the outskirts of Derby City, The West Mill Derby is a captivating Grade I listed former industrial mill, that dates back to the early 1800’s. After being restored and converted into a stunning, contemporary spacious wedding venue, it created the idyllic backdrop for a stylish and exuberant couple such as Sammy-Jo and Jamie.
Sammy-Jo looked dazzling in her beautifully detailed ‘Hatsy’ dress by Ronal Joyce, completing this elegant look with Anna Klein shoes and a stunning headpiece by Jenny Packham. Jamie looked stylish and debonair in his dashing attire by Dapper Dan’s Suit Hire.
Emotive moments, from twinkling smiles, guffawing laughter and happy tears were captured throughout the day, particularly during the heartening ceremony and speeches, it was truly a pleasure to capture such important, unrepeatable glimpses of this joyous day. With sublime exposed brick walls, barrel-vaulted ceilings and cast iron column beams, the textures and aesthetics were incredible, amalgamating perfectly with the couple’s personal touches and industrial chic styling and vibe.
Each aspect of this wedding at The West Mill Derby was amazing and detail driven from the delectable cake provided by Susan Hughes from The Butterfly Bakehouse, to the floral table arrangements, button holes and bouquets designed and presented by Isabel Garbett. What was particularly impressive was the dining table centre pieces which consisted of the bride’s hand sewn illustrations of all the destinations herself and Jamie visited. It was great to see that San Francisco was at the top table, as that is where the couple got engaged. This showed the newlywed’s limitless creativity and devotion to evoking personal character on their special day, including the stunning copper geometric shapes that were also handmade by the bride and groom themselves. Many intricate attributes such as the light bulb favours tied the day together perfectly, adding an essence of fun and eccentricity.
The awe-inspiring industrial lighting at the The West Mill Derby created a dramatic backdrop for photographs, and the sparkler shots were fantastic, it was truly a magical moment. With the Dirty Weekend band and DJ set throwing out some bangers it was awesome seeing everyone dancing and having such a happy time. A day filled with love radiating through the room, emitting from the glowing couple, and shown through family and friendship, a wedding executed with style, creativity, happiness and love.
We wish them both a lifetime of cosmic happiness
