Lindsay & Ian | Skitby Wedding Photographer Carlisle
It was such a gorgeous and sunny day when I first joined Lindsay for her bride prep at the well known Smith's Hotel in Gretna Green. She was getting ready in the Thistle Suite which had a beautiful balcony overlooking Gretna. Ian and Lindsay were married in Lockerbie, and went on to have their wedding reception at the gorgeous Skitby in Carlisle. The room had a pretty and rustic look with open beams, bunting and a cute travel theme that Lindsay had clearly put a lot of thought into - and lots of amazing cakes! For their wedding breakfast...
Katy & Andrew | Wedding Photographer Castle Green Hotel
Andrew and Katy were married a few days ago at the beautiful Castle Green Hotel located in Kendal, in the Lake District. It was such a perfect day for them, the sun was shining which provided ideal conditions for all their guests to relax in the warm sunshine outside during the wonderfully chilled day. Katy and Andrew didn't want to have an overly formal wedding, so chose not to have speeches or a cake... which just added to the relaxed feel even more! They were joined with their closest family and friends, and their two gorgeous...
Clara & Duncan | Gretna Wedding Photographer Scotland
Meet Clara and Duncan! This gorgeous and kind pair ran off to Gretna Green in true elopement style to get married in an intimate ceremony at the famous Blacksmiths Shop . The drive up to Scotland that morning was particularly wet and the dark clouds covered over the hills. Surprisingly as soon as the ceremony was finished it brightened up and stopped raining which was perfect for the bride and groom portraits!
When couples book me to photograph their wedding at Gretna Green they don't usually want an overly traditional photography...
Louise & Simon | Wedding Photography Yorkshire Marquee
Meet Simon and Louise! This gorgeous pair were married a few days in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. In the morning it started off a bit wet, but by the afternoon the sun was out and the marquee where the reception took place was a gorgeous backdrop. Their guests were able to mingle with drinks in the sunshine overlooking the golf course, and listen to a brass band which came marching from the bushes- much to the the surprise of the guests!
The feel of the day was very relaxed and happy, and once the evening reception started everyone was on the dance...
Bronwyn & Leon | Wedding Photographer Portmeirion
Meet Bronwyn and Leon! This amazing couple were married a few days ago at the stunning location of Portmeirion which is in North Wales. Every wedding has a certain feel, and this one was full of such warmth and friendly people, and the bride herself was such a beautiful person inside and out! It's not every day a bride absolutely insists on helping me carry my camera gear. Bronwyn did exactly that, as I was setting up for the evening reception.
Portmeirion was made to look like an Italian village, and the quirkiness was the perfect backdrop...
Raisa & Umar | Manchester Wedding Photographer
The stunning Raisa and Umar were married a few days ago at the Registry Office in Manchester. They make such a beautiful couple, and it was so much fun to capture a few portraits of them together with the urban background of a city they know well. After the ceremony, they went on to celebrate at the well known Nawaabs restaurant where they met up with more family and friends. Their day was relaxed without too many formalities, and full of so many kind and friendly people who were a pleasure to be around.
Raisa and Umar, thank you both...
Lacey & Jake | Gretna Green Photographer
Meet Lacey and Jake! This gorgeous pair were married a few days ago at Gretna Green in Scotland. They decided to run away to Gretna Green together for a romantic intimate wedding and photoshoot, which was such a pleasure to be a part of! Especially when they asked me to be one of their witness for signing the register. They were married at The Mill Forge, which is where we did their photographs after the ceremony. They had perfect weather, the winter sunshine brightened up the beautiful scenery.
Lacey and Jake, it was so lovely to meet you both...
Lauren & Jason | Rowton Castle Wedding Photographer
Jason and Lauren had a fairytale wedding at Rowton Castle in Shropshire. It was a perfect location - a stunning castle background from the 17th Century.
Their day was a lovely and intimate one, shared by just 13 of their closest family and friends - some who came all the way from America. From start to finish the day was relaxed and fun. Smaller weddings are always a pleasure to photograph - a different atmosphere to a larger day, they are so special in their own right when couples don't want an overwhelming number of guests. Although...
Jenny & Mark | West Tower Wedding Photography
The beautiful Jenny & Mark were married a few days ago at West Tower, in Lancashire. They were joined on the day by their gorgeous baby girl, who was so well behaved for the whole wedding! They had such great weather- the sun even came out during parts of the day lighting up the colourful Autumn leaves. Mark and Jenny were originally going to get married earlier in the year, but the surprise of Amelia meant they had to reschedule for a bit later. They couldn't have picked a more perfect day to change the date to! It was clear how much...
Andrea & Rob | Mitton Hall Wedding Photographer
Meet Rob and Andrea! This wonderful couple were married at the stunning Mitton Hall in Clitheroe, Lancashire. They had such a perfect day which included some gorgeous Autumn sunshine. Because it was dry we were able to take a stroll down by the river along the grassy fields of grazing sheep for their photographs as man and wife. It was a lovely and relaxing atmosphere.
There are far too many little details that I could mention from their day, but I like the photographs to speak for themselves.
Andrea and Rob, thank you both so much...
