The pressure is on as I sit and write my latest wedding blog! Jez, the groom, is an exceptionally brilliant writer/reporter and ex colleague of mine from the Mercury. Just have to fact the facts and admit to not being a brilliant writer but hopeful I excel when it comes to pictures!

I was delighted to get the email from Jeremy (also known as Jez ) asking me to capture his wedding day, but there was a catch, I had to do it within a 2 hour window!

Jez and Liz got married at the beginning of October at the  Park Farmhouse Hotel, Isley Walton, Near Castle Donington. They decided to tie the knot in their 20th year as a couple in the cozy surroundings of a barn with their nearest and dearest looking on.

Their relaxed and chilled out  approach was lovely to see and be around. Liz looked beautiful in a simple and understated ivory dress, Jez looked very smart  and their two very grown up children looked every bit the part too.

I managed to squeeze in 20 minutes away with the happy couple  just before the light went, we spotted a lovely looking barn house  which sat by the side of the road with views of Breedon Hill in the distance – just perfect. (even if we did have to trapse across a few nettles!)

You all looked so happy and it was a delight to be part of your day! Congratulations you two! Hope you had a belter of a day xx
