Devonshire Dome wedding – 21 November 2011
What an amazing venue the Devonshire Dome in Buxton is. A couple of weeks ago I photographed Viv & George’s fantastic wedding day there. It was once a magnificent 18th century stable block built by the 5th Duke of Devonshire. The dome was completed in 1882 as the Royal Devonshire Hospital and is over 150 ft in diameter, bigger than St Paul’s Cathedral in London, and was once the largest unsupported dome in the world and still is in Britain. The autumnal colours outside were just beautiful with lots of light coming through the dome, for a photographer at this time of year this was a big bonus.
