Robert & Emilia’s Sunny Outdoor Wedding at The Wildes Inn, Chesterfield
As a Chesterfield wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing many incredible celebrations over the past 12 years, and Robert and Emilia’s wedding at The Wildes Inn was one of the most joy-filled days I’ve photographed. With 112 five-star Google reviews and over a decade of experience, I’ve seen my fair share of weddings — but this one stood out for its energy, laughter, and sunshine.
A Fun, Relaxed Wedding Day
Robert and Emilia are one of those couples who just radiate fun. From the moment I arrived at The Wildes Inn, I knew this wedding would be full of personality. The weather couldn’t have been better — a perfect summer’s day with blue skies and warm sunshine, ideal for an outdoor ceremony.
The Wildes Inn in Chesterfield is a fantastic choice for couples who want everything in one place. The venue’s outdoor ceremony space is surrounded by beautifully kept gardens, making it a dream setting for natural, light-filled photographs. What’s even better is the convenience for guests — with elegant rooms on-site, friends and family can stay the night, relax, and fully enjoy the celebrations without worrying about travel.
The Outdoor Ceremony
Robert and Emilia exchanged their vows under a delicate floral arch, surrounded by their closest family and friends. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy — exactly how an outdoor wedding should feel. Guests laughed, cheered, and soaked up the sunshine as the couple said their “I dos.”
For anyone planning an outdoor wedding in the British summertime, I always recommend having a Plan B in place. The weather can be unpredictable, so check if your venue has a covered or indoor backup option. It’s also worth considering the timing of your ceremony — late afternoon light tends to be softer and more flattering for photos. Don’t forget essentials like parasols, bottled water, and sunscreen for guests too!

Capturing the Party Vibes
After the ceremony, the celebrations continued with plenty of drinks, laughter, and dancing. Robert and Emilia’s friends clearly knew how to party — the dance floor was full from start to finish!
As a Chesterfield wedding photographer, I love capturing those candid, natural moments that show the real atmosphere of the day. The Wildes Inn is perfect for this kind of storytelling photography — plenty of open space, great lighting, and beautiful backdrops for both relaxed group shots and spontaneous fun.
Night-Time Magic: Sparklers & Champagne
As the evening drew in, we ended the day with something truly spectacular — a sparkler exit followed by a champagne pop night-time flash portrait. These kinds of shots are some of my favourites to create. With a bit of creative lighting and direction, we captured a stunning mix of movement, excitement, and sparkle that perfectly summed up the fun energy of the whole day.
If you’re planning your own wedding at The Wildes Inn or another Chesterfield venue, consider adding a sparkler moment to your evening. It’s a fun, photogenic way to end your night — and guests absolutely love it.
Why Choose The Wildes Inn for Your Chesterfield Wedding
Having photographed many venues across Derbyshire and beyond, I can confidently say The Wildes Inn is one of the best in Chesterfield. Its all-in-one setup — with ceremony, reception, and accommodation all in one place — makes the day flow smoothly for everyone. The gardens are ideal for outdoor ceremonies, and the indoor spaces are equally stylish for your evening reception.
As one of the leading Chesterfield wedding photographers, I know how to make the most of the light, surroundings, and atmosphere here. Whether it’s a golden-hour couple’s shoot or lively dance floor moments, this venue offers endless opportunities for beautiful imagery.
