I had the privilege of joining the lovely Jenna Carpenter Photography in capturing the Cumbria wedding photography of Catriona and Tristan. She had asked me to help photograph their day, and I was more than happy to accept! I have worked with Jenna a couple of times before, and we always have a wonderful time. The morning was a very relaxed one, starting off with a delicious looking breakfast of salmon and bagels in the family home. The house is simply gorgeous, set in the beautiful Lake District. The family are very musical and run a company from their own home. Music was very much a strong theme...
Outdoor Wedding Catering | Cumbria & Lancashire Wedding Photography
Recently I had the pleasure of photographing Philippa & Graham's wedding in the stunning Loweswater area of Cumbria, Lake District. Their wedding day was a unique and fun packed day, with all sorts of detailed personal little touches. Pooh sticks to throw over a bridge, skimming stones on Lake Ulswater, a swing hanging from a tree, an old fashioned photo booth for guests to add photos to their guest book... there are too many details to list them all! One of the other lovely details was the food, which was provided...
Portmeirion Wedding Photography Sneak Peek
It's always exciting getting back from a wedding and taking a little look at the photographs captured that day. An enjoyable (and slightly daunting) task is selecting an image or two to show the couple a teaser of their wedding day. Obviously due to backlog it can be a few weeks before the couple see all of their photographs, so I like to give them a chance to see at least one glimpse of what's to come. But how do you use one photograph to sum up an entire day packed full of so many people, so many things happening, and so many good times?
I had the incredible...
Lancashire Wedding Photography | Detailed Wedding Photographs
First and foremost I work as a wedding photographer to document your wedding day. Capturing beautiful emotions, moments as they happen, and taking pictures of the general atmosphere of the wedding. But one part of the job that I love is detail shots during bridal preparation. So much thought and attention goes into a wedding day. Brides spend a lot of time finding all of the perfect details to tie her wedding together and make it her own. Some brides even spend hundreds of pounds on the perfect shoes, which she will most likely...
Some people you meet leave a lasting impression, and Paul and Debbie certainly did that! I knew when I first received their wedding enquiry that it was going to be an interesting one. Their wedding venue of choice is the stunning Portmeirion in Wales. I've been there a couple times before, so I know working there as a wedding photographer is going to be fantastic. The buildings and scenery are spectacular, whatever the weather! If possible, I like to meet the couple at the wedding venue for their pre wedding shoot. This allows me to have a look around, and we can have an idea of the best places...
Last year I found the wonderful website and blog, The Wedding Community. It's a fantastic site for all wedding photographers, brides and grooms, and wedding suppliers. I saw they were running something called 'Picture of the Day' where photographers can submit a few images to the blog, and if picked, a picture will be featured on their site. I decided to submit just one image, and I was over the moon to be featured. I had never taken part in anything like this before, so I didn't expect much when all of the images from the month were put in the 'Picture of the Month' competition. To my shock...
In this modern society, it is the norm to receive your wedding and portrait photographs in digital files. This is incredibly beneficial, and practical. However, there is nothing quite like seeing your pictures in print, in front of you in a beautiful wedding album to treasure. I decided to order an example of one of the albums I offer my clients, so they can see for themselves the beauty of pictures in print.
I opened this package with much excitement, and I certainly was not disappointed with what I found! Inside the beautiful leather cover embossed with 'Karli Harrison Photography', some of my favourite...
2012 has come to an end, and wow, what a year it has been! I would like to say a massive thank you to all of my lovely clients. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you all, and I've loved capturing your wedding, engagement, family and newborn photographs. It's been so much fun!
Some of the many wedding venues I have worked at include Inglewood Manor, London's Kew Gardens, Isla Gladstone, West Tower, Linthwaite House Hotel, Hillbark Hotel and many more. I'm looking forward to what 2013 has to bring, it's going to be another exciting and action packed year! But until then, here's my top 20 favourite...
Alison and Scott’s wedding was a true pleasure to photograph. Their day was stylish, laid back and very them, and I’m so glad I was able to join them and capture their memories for them as their wedding photographer. We started off the day at Alison's Hair Salon called Meheanos in Blackburn, where Alison and a her bridesmaids were getting their hair and make-up done. I could tell how proud Alison's family are of her as she had built this business and worked so hard, and it had paid off. I certainly enjoyed the different environment to shoot her wedding photography bridal preparations, as there...
West Tower Wedding Photography
Mandy and Jamie’s wedding day took place at the gorgeous venue, West Tower. I was very excited to work as their wedding photographer as I had been to West Tower before and I know it’s a beautiful place to shoot wedding photography, both inside and out. Not only is the building a beautiful place for a wedding to take place, but the staff that work there are lovely too. You can have a beautiful venue, but it's the people that can really help make the day a much happier one. We were definitely well looked after (and well fed!) which made the day more pleasant...
