DERBYSHIRE · REAL WEDDINGS · PHOTO & FILM
Derbyshire wedding photographer. Real moments, no stiff posing.
I’m Mark, a Manchester-based photographer who travels to Derbyshire weddings. I’ll be there for the vows, the laughter and all those tiny moments between — then give you a little space for portraits without making the day feel like a photoshoot.

THE DAY, AS IT FELT
From the ceremony to the last big laugh.
Whether you’re celebrating in a country house, a town venue or beneath the trees, the best photographs are often the ones nobody could have planned. I’ll help with family groups and a few relaxed portraits, then let your Derbyshire wedding carry on while I catch the real story.
Natural photographs
People, atmosphere and the daft little moments, with family photos that don’t swallow the whole afternoon.
A highlight film if you want one
Hear the speeches, see the movement and relive the energy as well as the still photographs. See how photo and highlight video work together; full ceremony and speeches video is available in the right package.
Your private gallery
Share and download your photographs in your own couples gallery. Every full-day package includes a free guest QR code for uploads.
I’m based in Manchester, not at a Derbyshire studio. Tell me your venue and date and I’ll confirm the travel details before you book. See current photography and video packages for exact inclusions.
ONE REAL DERBYSHIRE WEDDING
Mr & Mrs Gimbert at The Hidden Hive.
A real woodland and tipi wedding in South Derbyshire’s National Forest. Their gallery shows the outdoor ceremony, the guests and the energy of the reception, so you can see how I covered the whole day.
The outdoor ceremony
The setting mattered, but the people and what they felt mattered more.
Under the tipis
An unposed look at the reception, with the little interactions and big celebrations together.
Across Derbyshire
From Derby and Chesterfield to venues near the Peak District, tell me where you’re marrying and what you have planned. I’ll shape the coverage around your day. See my real Ringwood Hall wedding photographs on the Chesterfield page.
GOOD TO KNOW
Questions about Derbyshire weddings
Do you travel to Derbyshire from Manchester?
Yes. I photograph weddings beyond Manchester and will confirm availability, travel arrangements and any costs when you tell me the venue and date.
Do you photograph weddings near the Peak District?
Yes. I cover Derbyshire venues from the south of the county to the Peak District area. The Hidden Hive gallery above is in the National Forest, so you can see my approach at a real Derbyshire wedding.
Can we have photography and a highlight film?
Yes. Some packages combine full-day photography and a highlight film, with ceremony and speeches video in the appropriate package. You can compare the exact inclusions on the packages page.
Can we see a full wedding rather than a few favourite shots?
Yes. Open the Hidden Hive gallery above, then explore the wider portfolios. The complete story will tell you far more about how I photograph a wedding day. You can also read what couples say.
