Mark Pugh joined bride Marie with her daughters and daughter-in-law in Derbyshire to capture their bridal preparations. Everyone’s hair was expertly styled by 'The Dream Team' Alison Jenner and Makeup by Alex Jones.
Once the preparations were complete, there was just time for one final dance rehearsal… more on this later.
The couple commissioned Mark Pugh to capture both videography & photography on their wedding day, and he was able to provide these bespoke services with ease!
Mark Pugh left the bridal party to join groom Richard at Callow Hall. This stunning country house hotel has sumptuous bedrooms, grand reception areas and is set in 35 acres of gardens. Away from the hustle and bustle, it offers complete privacy, and it could be the perfect location for your wedding.
He able to capture Cakey Wakey providing the finishing touches to their beautiful wedding cake and venue styling.
Mark Pugh then joined Marie and her ladies again for dress preparations and to allow final adjustments to be made to hair by Alison Jenner and Makeup by Alex Jones.
Alison Jenner styled the ladies hair and created an additional design with the flowers which is evident in the elegance captured. Each lady apart from the bride, Marie, had a corsage flower bracelet designed by Nadia Di Tullio and these were also adjusted by Alison.
As always, Alison Jenner went above and beyond her role and was a complete joy to capture in action.
With groom Richard waiting patiently in the beautiful ceremony room, Mark Pugh was able to simultaneously film and photograph Marie’s short walk down the aisle. After two beautiful speeches by Marie’s daughters, the couple were married, and moved out into the extensive grounds for champagne.
Mark Pugh took small numbers of the guests and family for formal photographs, and spent a few minutes with Marie and Richard in the formal gardens at Callow Hall for an intimate love session.
With the wedding breakfast and hilarious speeches out of the way, the time had come for the evening’s entertainment to get underway. Marie, and the rest of her ladies had rehearsed a dance routine based on Beyoncé’s ‘Single Ladies’ and the performance was amazing.
Marie and Richard are a fantastic couple that deserve every happiness, and it was a pleasure for Mark Pugh to have been able to share and capture their special day.
It's been difficult to decide which images we should share on behalf of www.markpugh.com, as their wedding photography collection contains over 400 images. However, we have decided to share 150ish photographs, and these can be viewed below.
As always, enjoy.
