A Sunny Summer Tipi Wedding at Cuttle Brook in Derbyshire

Weddings at Cuttle Brook in Swarkestone, South Derbyshire are always a treat, but when you throw in a couple like Eve & Jamie, you know you’re in for something special. These two didn’t just tie the knot—they laughed, danced, and possibly set a new record for “most hugs before the ceremony”! As a Cuttle Brook wedding photographer, I get to witness all the chaos, the romance, and the occasional uncle who thinks he’s the star of the dance floor. And let me tell you, this wedding had it all. So, grab a cuppa and settle in—this one’s a cracker!
