Cumbria Wedding Photography

Melissa & Ian | Linthwaite House Cumbria Wedding Photographer Ian and Melissa were a dream to work with. Although I was only with them for a few hours on their very special day, it was jam packed full of so much happiness and laughter. I can safely say that they are certainly one of (if not THE) most smiley of my couples, which made taking their pictures a real treat. They are so in love, which is plain for all to see. Their wedding reception was held at the stunning Linthwaite House Hotel, by far one of the most gorgeous wedding venues in Cumbria. I've been there four times in the past...

Steve & Laura | Abbey House Hotel Wedding Photographer Cumbria Steve and Laura chose to have their wedding at Abbey House Hotel in Cumbria. The stunning hotel has recently undergone a makeover and mixes a great combination of modern with the traditional features of the venue. Laura got ready in one of the beautiful bedrooms with her lovely bridesmaids, where I had the pleasure of once again working with the incredibly talented makeup artist Jaye Adams. Steve and Laura, it was such a pleasure to join you both for your gorgeous wedding. Thanks so much for asking me to be your photographer!...

Crystal & Rob | Holbeck Ghyll Wedding Photography Teaser When you picture a wedding you probably picture a large crowd of people, but I have the privilege of shooting a couple of very intimately weddings a year and Crystal and Rob's wedding certainly was that! Choosing to get married at the stunning Holbeck Ghyll hotel in Cumbria, they celebrated the occasion with their two gorgeous kids. There's nothing more perfect than when a couple celebrate a wedding the way they want to do it, rather than worrying too much about what others think. Crystal and Rob, thank you both so much for asking...

Sarah & Rich | Linthwaite House Wedding Photography Cumbria It was a stunning and intimate wedding at Linthwaite House Hotel in Cumbria. Sarah and Rich had chosen to invite just a few of the closest people to them, which made the day a lovely small celebration in style. I was only with them for a few hours, but it was clear to see what good parents they are, and how in love they are as a couple! I love smaller weddings, and when couples decided to get married in their own way instead of following the 'norm' it really does make their day that bit more special and personal. After their...

Emma & Tim Sneak Peek  | The Merewood Wedding Photography Cumbria My first wedding of 2014 has come and gone. I had the pleasure of photographing Emma and Tim's gorgeous wedding day last weekend at the Merewood in Cumbria. It was a day full of much love and laughter, and despite the  heavens opening up with rain as soon as we reached Cumbria, our spirits weren't dampened and we all had a lovely time. Every once in a while I get a shot that stands out, and this one certainly did, which is why I chose it as their sneak peek! It was taken during the first dance, and I think it simply...

Top 20 Favourite Wedding Photos of 2013 Wow, what a year 2013 was! It was certainly my busiest yet, and it was jam packed with so many gorgeous weddings, engagement and lifestyle photo shoots. I feel incredibly blessed to be doing what I love for a job, and each year just gets busier! Narrowing down so many wonderful, and special moments to just a few photographs to sum up a whole year is incredibly difficult. I worked with lots of wonderful people, and each and every wedding was unique. There were simply too many weddings to share photos from each, so here are just a few personal favourite...

Sarah & Phil | Wordsworth Hotel Wedding Photography Cumbria I joined the lovely Sarah and Phil on their beautiful wedding day a few weeks ago at the stunning Wordsworth Hotel in Cumbria. The day was a gorgeous one full of lovely people, and little touches such as the superhero sweetie buffet to name one of many! Sarah and Phil are so obviously in love, and when we met up for their engagement shoot in Cumbria before the wedding day it was obvious how much the day would be enjoyed by all. I wasn't wrong in my guess! The guests and family members obviously adore them, and fully enjoyed in celebrating...

Emma & Tim | Wedding Photography The Merewood Cumbria Emma and Tim's day was one full of much love and laughter. It's always difficult writing just a few words to go with a full wedding day, how do you quickly sum up a day packed full of so many precious moments with so many special people? A few highlights from their day included  Tim's wonderful reaction to his bride walking down the aisle, as he tried very hard to keep control of his emotions, the gorgeous sun pouring into the church during their wedding ceremony, the touching (and hilarious!) speeches, the entertainer Howard Wing leaving...

Sarah & Phil | Pre Wedding Photography Cumbria I met up with the lovely Sarah and Phil for their pre wedding shoot in Cumbria. Usually when I'm super busy, engagement shoots are done in a park not too far from me as it saves me having to travel too far. But this was one trip well worth the travel! It was gorgeous and sunny when I set off from home, but as I got closer and closer to Cumbria it got darker and darker. And wetter. But despite this, when I met up with Sarah & Phil at The Wordsworth Hotel where they will be getting married soon, their spirits weren't dampened. We set off on a mini...

Carole & Barry | Wordsworth Hotel Wedding Photography Cumbria Weddings come in all different shapes and sizes. But I can honestly say that Carole & Barry's intimate wedding of a party of 5 (including me!) was the smallest wedding that I've had the pleasure to shoot before. Sadly the Lake District treated us to its usual weather, so we were unable to go outside. But that certainly didn't dampen the spirits of Barry and Carole's special day at the lovely Wordsworth Hotel. I was only with them for a few hours to capture their special celebration, but I think the photographs show the emotion...
