Jess and Tim // Hidden Hive, Derbyshire Wedding

Boho festival vibes at a tipi venue in the East Midlands

Jess, Tim, and RUFUS threw the perfect celebration for some adventurous souls.

Today, we're revisiting another wedding from our backlog, this time at the Hidden Hive venue near Derby in the East Midlands. Having shot here multiple times, we've thoroughly enjoyed every event we've covered. However, Jess and Tim's celebration was a little different, since they had tied the knot during lockdown in a small ceremony at their local church in Breedon-on-the-Hill.

Returning a year later with all their family and friends was a beautiful experience, from capturing the bridal preparations in the morning to the heartfelt ceremony at the church, and finally, dancing the night away on the colourful dance floor at the Hidden Hive.

Jess and Tim's stunner of a dog, a Visla called Rufus, plays a significant role in their lives, and even appears in a few of the books that Jess has written. Incorporating him into the couple's photos was absolutely necessary!

The hidden hive is a funky little tipi venue in the heart of Leicestershire, and it encourages couples to style it out themselves. Jess and Tim nailed the aesthetic with some exquisite styling of the flowers and tables in the tent. The day had a relaxed boho festival style, Jess had a gorgeous flower crown and sequinned dress, while Tim rocked a blue tweed suit.

Have a scroll, enjoy the shots, and if you’re looking for wedding photography at the Hidden Hive (or somewhere else in across the East Midlands), then drop us a line. We're always keen to hear about your plans… we look forward to shooting for you soon!
