Chris and Jade are going to be my first wedding this year, so it was exciting meeting them at Statham Lodge for their pre wedding photography. It was a gloriously sunny day as I made my way to Statham, but typically about five minutes after I arrived it clouded over. Needless to say it didn't ruin our engagement shoot! I love being able to meet with couples at the actual venue where they will be getting married. As we had a look around the gardens, we were able to explore all of the options we will have on the day for their photographs. We were also kindly allowed to have a peek inside the rooms...
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...
The second wedding venue I'd like to mention on this locations section of my website is the stunning Inglewood Manor, which was one of the most beautiful venues I've had the pleasure of working at so far. It's located near Chester, in Cheshire. It's a gorgeous Tudor style manor house was built around 1860, and cost a grand total of £7,500. Set on lush grounds, the beautiful green grass, trees, gates and pond make for a perfect location for wedding photography. I just love venues such as this one, as it makes it so much easier to be creative, as you have a lot of things around you to inspire you.

The stunning Isla Gladstone is located in Liverpool on the edge of Stanley Park, and is a beautiful wedding venue. It's always been one of my favourite venues to work at, as it's a perfect location for wedding photography. The building which is a massive glass conservatory was bulit in 1870. No matter what the weather is doing in Liverpool, low light is never a problem. In very sunny conditions, the harsh glare from the glass ceiling is defused by the white cloth hanging from the roof.
The day I worked as a wedding photographer for Chris and Meg at Isla Gladstone, the weather was a mixture...
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...
Lake District Wedding Photography, Linthwaite House Hotel
The 4th of June was the perfect day. It’s funny how looking back on it, it seemed like a dream. Trish and Rich chose the Linthwaite House Hotel in Cumbria to get married, and they couldn’t have chosen better! It’s a beautiful hotel with a stunning view and grounds. I first had a little taster of what the venue would be like when I met the couple for their engagement shoot, and I could see through the rain that it is a beautiful location for wedding photography. Thick woods, a little lake, hills in the distance. I knew it was going...
Kew Gardens Wedding Photography / Videography - London
A few months ago I had the pleasure of working as second videographer at a wedding in London, Kew Gardens It was an amazing experience! Besides shooting the wedding in such a gorgeous venue at Kew Gardens, we ended up riding a golf cart around the gardens for the couples wedding photography / videography portraits before the light went. We managed to get some stunning footage before it went dark, much to our relief. The gardens are stunning, I hope to go back and enjoy them properly some day when I'll have more time to explore the grounds....
Liverpool Wedding Photography - Suites Hotel
Jemma and Keith’s wedding day took place at the Suites Hotel Knowsley in Liverpool. The day was a beautiful one and everyone was lovely, including the staff! The only thing that didn’t quite go to plan was the weather!! But despite this, it seemed to work in our favour. We used their beautiful bridal suite for the couples portraits, and got some pictures that we would have missed out on if the day had been a dry one. That’s one thing I love about weddings, sometimes what first appears to be a disadvantage can actually turn out in your favour....
I met up with Mark and Erin on their stunning wedding day at the gorgeous Dalston Hall in Cumbria. I was working as a second videographer , capturing their wedding on my DSLR camera, the one that I also use for wedding photography. I love how creative you can be with a professional DSLR, you can change lenses which means you can change focus, depth of field and light conditions. This allows you to capture beautiful and creative cinematography. I'm a huge fan of using a shallow depth of field, which means you can focus on something such as the bride's eyes, and everything else will be out of focus....
I had the pleasure of working as Claire and Trevor's wedding photographer for the day. It was one filled with special touches that made it truly unique. I just love weddings like theirs! It makes the occasion so personal for the couple, and definitely more memorable for all of the guests.
At the very start of the day while Claire was getting ready, she was shown into a bedroom where a collection of gifts had been laid out on the bed for her. As soon as she saw the stuffed monkey called Mojo, the excitement and surprise on her face was clear to see!! Mojo and Claire go way back to when Claire...
