Here is a selection of photographs taken at the wedding of Jo and Rob. The happy couple were married at one of Sheffield’s nicest beauty spots – the Botanical Gardens – followed by a reception at the Kenwood Hall Hotel. Jo and Rob exchanged their vows at the main pavilion beneath the central dome of the glasshouse, surrounded by the beautiful exotic foliage. Following the ceremony we made our way to the bear pit which is known to have actually housed two bears until the 1870’s! It was in this location that I was able to capture some of the very first images of the newly married bride and groom. Finally we made our way to the Kenwood Hall Hotel for the wedding celebrations.
After the wedding breakfast the best men surprised Jo and Rob with their own version of a Bon Jovi video with family and friends taking part – very funny! As the light started to fade the wedding party released 40 sky lanterns into the night sky. Here are some of my favourite images from Jo and Rob’s special day.

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to photograph Tina and Stephen’s wedding in the beautiful English Lake District. They were married at the Langdale Chase hotel which boasts panoramic and inspirational views of Lake Windermere and the surrounding mountains. It was a very small wedding with only 19 people but very enjoyable. After the wedding breakfast we all went on a boat trip around the picturesque Lake Windermere. The boat set off from the hotel’s own jetty, one of my favourite shots from the day was taken on the same jetty. This particular shot was taken high up from the roof of the boat house, combining wedding and landscape photography.
You will notice some changes to my website in the coming weeks and that’s because I’m having a brand new website and blog – and Stephen is the web designer! Stephen and I both follow each other on Twitter and when he asked me if I would photograph his wedding for the exchange of his services I jumped at the chance! So if you are looking for a web designer take a look at his website http://www.zestwebdesign.com/ and my website in a couple of weeks!
Social networking is a great way to get yourself known in your field or industry. Through Twitter I have had my wedding photography featured on some of the country’s best wedding blogs i.e. Boho Weddings and Events, English Weddings, Rock n’Roll Bride and I will soon have a brand new website and blog because of Twitter 
Stephen’s Twitter username is @sm9 and mine is @tierneyPhoto.
Here is a selection of my favourite images from Tina and Stephen’s wedding in the stunning Lake District.

When Nicky and Martyn booked me to be their wedding photographer I knew I would have a great time with them. l love photographing couples who are adventurous and on their wedding day – when I spotted a poppy field not far from the church – I knew I had to take them for a little stroll 
After the marriage ceremony at Kirk Sandall Church we made the short journey to the poppy field. I always take with me a ground cover to protect the wedding dress in these situations - just in case! In years to come I am sure they will be delighted that they spent just 15 minutes out of their wedding day to capture some unique images for their wedding album. After the poppy field we made our way to the wedding reception at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Doncaster. Nicky and Martyn hired a vintage double decker bus for the wedding party so I had the opportunity to photograph the happy couple inside the old bus. Later in the evening we all ventured into the old Warmsworth Hall for some intimate low light photography. I love low light photography, especially if you have very passionate couple like Nicky and Martyn to photograph! I would also like to say a big thank you to Nicky’s brother Paul for helping me on the day! If you haven’t already seen them, have a look at their urban pre-wedding photography taken in Sheffield city centre! Here are some of my favourite images from their special day

It has been a while since I have been to a wedding as a guest and not as the official wedding photographer. Louise and Nick kindly invited my family to their wedding which was held at St John’s Church Hall in Sheffield on a beautiful sunny day. Nick and Louise had a friend to photograph their wedding so I could relax at a wedding for once! I photographed a small wedding at the Sheffield Town Hall earlier in the day so I had all my camera equipment with me. I could not resist taking some candid shots of the wedding party and their photographer did not mind too much! I loved the style of Louise’s wedding dress which was made by her cousin and also Nick’s blue shoes! I’ve been to many weddings and it’s the first time I’ve seen the old tradition of tying cans to the back of the wedding car. I had to capture the can’s especially being tied to Nick’s very cool old Citroen. The wedding reception was held at Nick’s pub which is the best pub in Sheffield in my opinion! – The Frog and Parrot on Division Street. Unfortunatley we were unable to make it to the reception due to family commitments, which was a shame because there were live bands and DJ’s playing cool music! (See below about some great news about Nick’s pub). Here are some images from Louise and Nick’s big day!
Nick has just had some great news because The Frog and Parrot has won the 2010 Best Bar None award, which recognises the pub as the most safe and responsible in the UK. If you are in Sheffield I recommend you visit the pub for the great atmosphere, live music, DJ’s and the food is very nice too. The Frog and Parrot is famous for its musical connections — Joe Cocker signed his first deal there, Guns and Roses once visited and it was there that Sheffield band Arctic Monkeys were discovered. Last year I saw Sheffield’s Jon McClure there who is the lead singer out of Reverend and the Makers listening to his brother’s up and coming band The Violet May – both bands are excellent especially live. By the way, the pub also features some of my local images of the iconic Tinsley twin towers! Here are some images I took of The Frog and Parrot last year.

Here is Sam and Pete’s wedding photography from Sheffield city centre. Sam and Pete were married at Sheffield town hall on a beautiful spring day. Following the marriage ceremony, the wedding party made their way to the Peace Gardens next to the Town Hall. It was very busy because of the beautiful warm weather and lots of children were playing in the fountains as you can see in one of the images! After the Peace Gardens we walked the short distance to the impressive Winter Gardens and then to the very modern Q-Park building. I love the mix of the old and new architecture in Sheffield which makes for great backdrops. Finally I took the bride and groom to the Sheffield City Hall which is a neo-classical building. The main pillars of the building are very grand and if you take a photo at the right view point you would think you were in Rome and not Sheffield! Here are a selection of their photos from Sam and Pete’s special day

This is Lizzie and Matt’s engagement shoot in a stunning bluebell wood not far from the Clumber Park Hotel near Worksop, Nottinghamshire. I love to find new locations for my shoots especially when they are as beautiful as this. Luckily not many people know about this wood and the sea of Bluebells were virtually untouched.
Engagement shoots are a great way for couples to get used to being in front of the camera ready for the wedding day. It is good way for us to get to know each other too and to capture the blissful couple while they are engaged.
I’m looking forward to Lizzie and Matt’s Wedding at St Mary’s Church in Wheatley with the reception held at Wentbridge House Hotel, Doncaster. Here are Lizzie and Matt’s very colourful engagement images.
