John Mottershaw Photography Derbyshire and Sheffield wedding photographer. Beautiful photography of your wedding by highly experienced photographer who is friendly and professional.

Over the years I have photographed more than 400 weddings and I am one of only a very small number of wedding photographers in Sheffield and Yorkshire, Chesterfield and Derbyshire who specialise solely in wedding photography. I have developed an informal style which reflects the warmth and the real joy of the day, avoiding the more usual manufactured “model shoot” style of photography. I work in a

relaxed, informal and friendly way and I’m always keen to make the photography a thoroughly enjoyable part of the day for everyone involved. I am a qualified member of the British Institute of Professional Photography and represent the fourth generation of my family to work as professional photographers, a family that has been continuously in photographic processing and commercial and wedding photographers in Sheffield since 1870. SOME BACKGROUND.. I live in the Derbyshire Peak District village of Grindleford and love the rural life here, sharing it with my wife Helen, our ten year old daughter Emily and not to mention our springer spaniel who I’m afraid just has to greet clients when they visit! I’m a photographer to the core, having been in professional photography for 24 years, covering commercial, social and travel photography as well as processing and printing and stints in the darkroom. I have done travel commissions in France, Italy, Spain and America and have also contributed to a number of books. I set up on my own back in 1989 and in recent years have concentrated on the one area of photography that I have always loved the most – wedding photography. Processing and printing, both colour and black & white, is also a skill that I’ve always been passionate about, having learned a great deal in the fumes and heat of the professional laboratory, much of which is just as relevant today. I’m certainly not one of the “straight out of camera” photographers. Processing and printing is an art in itself and is becoming sadly neglected in this digital age. I would always suggest to clients that proper image processing and printing is an integral and essential part of high calibre wedding photography. If you would like to have a chat about your wedding, view some samples and albums and to see if I’m the person that you would like to photograph your special day, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Kat and Joe held their wedding celebration at Manor Lodge in Sheffield. Such a very happy day that was a joy to be a part of. I’m very lucky to be asked to photograph such lovely people.

Here's a couple of messages that Kat and Joe sent me after the wedding:

Initially…
"I just wanted to get in touch to say thank you again for last weekend! We had so many comments on how great you were at organising everyone.

We had such a great day, and really appreciate you being there for so much of it to capture it all. Can't wait to see the photos! Is there anywhere we can leave you a review?"

And then a few days later…
"These are just amazing. We've already sat and looked through them so many times and they just capture the atmosphere of the day perfectly. Can't thank you enough!"

Thanks both of you - it really was a great day. Warmest congratulations to you both.
