Peak Edge Hotel Derbyshire Wedding Photographer
As a Derbyshire wedding photographer, I get to witness all sorts of love stories—grand, intimate, emotional, and occasionally featuring a child break-dancing on the dance floor with such penache that I’m left speechless. But Meena and Colin's wedding at the Peak Edge Hotel was something truly special. A spectacular blend of Indian vibrancy and English elegance, it was the perfect way to wrap up my 2024 wedding season.
Nestled on the edge of the Peak District, the Peak Edge Hotel is the kind of place that looks stunning in all seasons—though, on a very cold mid-November day in 2024, it’s apparently best admired from inside with a drink in hand. The venue seamlessly combines modern luxury with rustic charm, with panoramic views of the Derbyshire countryside providing an unbeatable backdrop for wedding photos.
Meena and Colin’s celebrations took place in The Oak Room, a gorgeous space with high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and a bespoke bar—three essential elements for a fantastic party. The room also opens onto a private terrace and garden, which I’m sure in summer is perfect for sipping cocktails in the sun. In November? Let’s just say we bravely dashed out for the formal photos before scampering back inside like penguins seeking warmth.
As any seasoned wedding photographer would tell you, wedding speeches can go one of two ways—either they leave guests dabbing their eyes with tissues, or they drag on longer than a Hobbit trilogy. Everyone did a fantastic job though and Colin in particular, nailed his. A perfect mix of sentiment and humour, it had the whole room (including me) cracking up.
The Peak Edge Hotel turned out to be the perfect spot for a celebration that blended two beautiful cultures, and Meena and Colin’s wedding was a fantastic reminder of why I love what I do. As I packed up my camera gear and drove home, I found myself grinning like a guest who just caught the bouquet (unintentionally, of course). What a way to end 2024!
