The Cresent Hotel Buxton
Emma and her Bridal Party got ready at The Cresent Hotel in Buxton on a cold foggy morning in January. It was quite the contrast from their first wedding morning that they had on a beautiful beach in Thailand. Emma, her mum and Bridesmaids were all still sporting their holiday tans while they got ready for James and Emma to do the legal bit at Buxton Registry Office.

















Buxton Registry Office
James arrived in style at Buxton registry Office donning a turquoise suit. Emma arrived in a beautiful white lace wedding gown while her bridesmaids wore sage green long dresses. The wedding ceremony in Buxton Registry Office was short and sweet but there was still plenty of time for some tears and laughter from the wedding party. Outside we were greeted by a beautiful crisp frosty January morning and headed to the field opposite the Registry Office for some photographs before Emma and James and their wedding guests hitched a ride to The Old Hall in Chinley for some more relaxed family photos in the winter sun followed by a flurry of car park confetti and some excellent pub grub to celebrate.































the crystal ballroom Glossop
Before heading to the Crystal Ballroom in Glossop to get the party started Emma and James wanted some photographs of them both in Glossop as that is where they live together. Glossop is also where I live to so I was excited to be able to finally use some of Glossop’s beautiful epic scenery for some wedding Portraits. With it being January and Emma not wanted to get her beautiful long wedding gown ruined before the party, we had to stick to the road, where it would be relatively clean and dry so we had a little stroll along the Derbyshire Level to take in the beautiful sights and grab some lovely natural portraits of Emma and James together just before the sun dipped beneath the magnificent rolling hills of Glossop.
At The Crystal Ballroom in Glossop James and Emma greeted their family and friends at the front door with complimentary glasses of fizz, there were a lot of big long heart felt hugs in the doorway before the dance floor got going. The children were the first to bust some moves on the Ballroom Dance Floor and then it was time for some speeches. James and Emma gave their speech on the stage at The Crystal Ballroom thanking all of their friends and family for coming and making sure they thanked their families. They played a slide show of photographs from their wedding in Thailand up on a projector so wedding guests could enjoy some memories from the day. James and Emma’s fathers then both gave a speech, with Emma’s after going last and pulling a flash mob dance out of the bag ( a terrific way to get out of doing a speech, but you do have to dance!) James and Emma were delighted by the dance laughing and singing along with it, before they cut the cake and did a little dance for everyone of their own.
