‘India Hobson’

Weddings at The Chimney House, Sheffield – Pre Wedding Style!

Friday, May 11th, 2012

We’re loving being plunged into the romance and excitement of the wedding season… It’s literally whisked us off our feet…

We’re super charmed by the journey that our guests go to to capture special memories surrounding their wedding and we’ve totally loving being involved in each part!

A couple of weeks ago we hosted a ravishing pre-wedding dinner – and a huge part of their experience of The Chimney House was a lavish photoshoot pre dinner. Kate and Phil were delighted by not only The Chimney House but also the surrounding Island and historic buildings which gave an atmospheric backdrop to proceedings! We took a cheeky snap of them getting snapped!

We’re hugely anticipating the wedding party of a mega sweet couple Anna and Matt in July…One of the reasons – apart from the fact that we have some amazing treats and secrets planned for them is that we get to welcome wedding photographer du jour, India Hobson into The Chimney House as she captures day into night with Anna and Matt’s friends and family.

India has shot Anna and Matt kicking around on The Island as a prelude to their ‘official’ wedding pics in July…

Totally loving this one….

And this one…

And this!! Awwwwwww

India is a leading fashion photographer and artist, working with publications  such as Oh Comely Magazine , Supplementaire & Stella, the Sunday Telegraph supplement. Her fashion and wedding photography transcend into the sort of images you pour over in fav fashion and lifestyle mags…she has a really lovely way of getting it just right! We recommend!

India can be found on her beautiful site… Right here! Her notes on Anna’s and Matt’s day can be found on her Blog.

We’ll look forward to sharing more in July!

The fabulousness of Pop Up Shop #3

Friday, March 25th, 2011

We have to say it (even though it’s not very modest…) but last night’s Pop up Shop was THE most beautifully stylish of shops…

The evening aptly named Cocktails & Macaroons and was hosted by 3 of the UK’s leading ladies in style, creativity and fashion Roanna Wells, India Hobson and Yaelle Caplan who brought their respective brands to The Chimney House with indulgent purchasing pleasure in mind. Bringing to Sheffield an edge of European glam mixed with the best of British.

We had a multitude of the good and the great in attendance…and shopaholics everywhere came to peruse and purchase. This is what else we did…

We sipped glorious French Martinis and divine Elderflower Collins’ gracefully and expertly made by the wondrous of cocktail makers and shakers (as well as being rather handsome) The Old House.

We nibbled (some more so than others!) the most dainty of Parisian treats delectable macaroons which literally fell out of every orifice of The Chimney House and into very eager mouths and hands…

We basked the in ambient surrounds…


The bar made us more cocktails…

And admired our very chic guests…

We enjoyed cool future house vibes and tunes – esp Sheffieldien Kathy Diamond…

And admired the new Pop Up Shop neon…

And altogether had a shoppingly fabulous time!

Thanks to all involved…especially the uber talented Roanna Wells, India Hobson and Yaelle Caplan – we LOVED having you at The Chimney House! Plus thanks to all of our guests for coming along and spend spend spending!! Also thanks to 93ft’s Rich for snaps and styles.

The next Pop Up Shop will be Popping up in May… keep very posted for more!
