Alex and Lee’s Bakewell Town Hall Elopement Wedding I had the absolute privilege of capturing Katy and Lee’s small Bakewell Town Hall elopement wedding. The town of Bakewell is a beautiful location for your winter wedding. The cobbled streets and old brick buildings make a wonderful backdrop to your wedding. When Katy and Alex reached […]
