Still grinning from ear to ear after Alexandra & Lewis incredible wedding at Whirlow Brook Hall in Sheffield! These two were just a total vibe – relaxed, down-to-earth, and full of laughs from start to finish. Their wedding had that perfect mix of rustic charm, spring colour, and playful energy that made the whole day feel effortlessly joyful.
And of course, we’ve got to talk about Rocky, their four-legged legend who completely stole the show. (Let’s be honest – we were all just guests at his big day)
Natural wedding photography at Whirlow Brook Hall-Sheffield
Alexandra & Lewis wanted their day to feel like them – easy-going, fun, and filled with the people (and pup!) they love most. They were after natural wedding photography at Whirlow Brook Hall, with candid moments that captured the laughs, the hugs, and all the little in-between moments that matter just as much as the big ones.
They styled their rustic spring wedding at Whirlow Brook Hall with soft, earthy tones -think blush, nude, and greens – and added fairy lights and natural textures to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Nothing felt staged or overdone. It was all about good vibes, genuine moments, and celebrating in a way that felt true to who they are.
The Venue: Whirlow Brook Hall, Sheffield
Set within landscaped gardens and woodland paths, Whirlow Brook Hall is one of Sheffield’s most charming wedding venues. It’s tucked away just enough to feel like a hidden gem, but still easy for guests to get to. The hall itself brings a lovely balance of elegance and comfort – perfect for couples who want beautiful surroundings without any of the fuss.
As a relaxed documentary-style Whirlow Brook Hall wedding photographer, I love how versatile this Sheffield venue is. Whether we’re out among the spring blossoms or catching quiet, candid moments on the stone steps, there’s no shortage of gorgeous backdrops for storytelling.
The Good Stuff – Key Wedding Moments
The day kicked off with chilled prep vibes – no stress, just a bunch of happy people hanging out, getting ready, and enjoying the moment. Alexandra looked amazing and was all smiles, while Lewis spent the morning laughing with his mates .
The ceremony was heartfelt, full of warmth, and super personal. Rocky strutted down the aisle like an absolute pro (definitely used to being centre of attention!), and their guests couldn’t stop smiling. It all felt very them – relaxed, fun, and full of personality.
Later, we snuck off for some portraits in the gardens, with Rocky of course. Nothing forced – just them being themselves. As the sun dipped and the fairy lights kicked in, the energy turned up a notch. There were speeches, spontaneous dancing, and so much laughter. Just a genuinely good time with good people.
From Behind the Lens: Whirlow Brook Hall wedding photos
As a documentary-style wedding photographer in Sheffield, my favourite moments are always the real ones — the quick hugs, cheeky glances, and belly laughs you don’t even know I’m catching. Alexandra & Lewis made it so easy to tell their story because they were fully present, totally relaxed, and trusted me to just do my thing.
Some of my favourite frames? Of course Rocky, giving serious “I run this place” energy during portraits. You can’t plan that kind of magic – but you can photograph it when you let the day unfold naturally.
If you’re searching for a Whirlow Brook Hall wedding photographer who gets the vibe and captures real, honest moments – this is what I live for.

“We booked Ingrid to capture photos of our wedding day and she did an amazing job. She captured the exact style of photos we wanted to suit our rustic, spring wedding and seemed to be everywhere so we didn’t miss any of the moments between guests, along with of course our key moments. She was friendly and helped to put us at ease and also allowed us to play around and have lots of fun. We also got some gorgeous photos of our little dog who Ingrid incorporated in our photos. We couldn’t recommend Ingrid more and loved having her there with us on the day.
