Lake District Wedding Photography

I had the privilege of working at a very beautiful Dalston Hall wedding a few months ago. Dalston Hall is a Grade II listed Castle, located in Carlisle, in the Northern Lake District. Situated in acres of private woodland and stunning gardens, it's a perfect place for a wedding. Starting out as Dalston Hall's Pele Tower, it was built in 1500. In the time that followed, additional extensions and changes were made to the building. But it was in 1897 that a huge refurbishment took place, resulting in a gorgeous mansion. On Erin and Mark's wedding day, the sun was shining and it made...

Magda & Richard | Linthwaite House Hotel Pre Wedding Photography Yesterday I was once again back at one of the most beautiful wedding venues I have ever been to. Linthwaite House Hotel is situated overlooking the stunning Lake Windermere in Cumbria, and is simply spectacular. Rain or shine, this venue really does have the 'wow' factor! I had the privilege of shooting a wedding there last year, and this year I am going back SIX times, including pre-wedding shoots! The staff are lovely, which makes it an even more pleasant experience to be there. Magda and Richard will be getting married...

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...

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....

Cumbria Wedding Photography A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working as Chris and Kelly's wedding photographer in the gorgeous Abbey House Hotel in Barrow-in-furness, Cumbria. The day was an emotional one, just one look at groom Chris as Kelly walked up the aisle, and you could see how moved he was to see his bride. I love looking at the groom when all other eyes are on the bride, the emotion is truly beautiful! Kelly was the epitome of the radiant bride, she was beaming throughout the whole day. It was no wonder Chris looked so moved! It's little moments like this that still pull at my heart,...

Lake District Wedding Photography, Linthwaite House Hotel I love pre- wedding shoots. They allow me to get to know the couple before their big day, and it also helps the couple to see how I work. Because of this, they feel more comfortable with me on their wedding day, which allows me to capture more beautifully natural pictures. I met up with Trish and Rich before their wedding day, at the stunning Linthwaite House Hotel, Cumbria. It was interesting viewing the location before the big day. It's still one of my favourite venues that I've had the privilege of doing wedding photography at!  The...

Cumbria Wedding Photography | Lake District Documentary Wedding Photographer Laughter. Tears. Joy. A touch of sadness. These are just a few of the emotions I have the pleasure of photographing working as a wedding photographer. In days gone past, photos would be incredibly posed. "Stop, look at me! Smile at the camera!" The problem with telling someone to smile is they often pull an awkward face, or maybe at the best of times pull a stiff smile. I work as hard as I can to capture wedding days as beautifully and artistically as possible, but the most important key factor for me is to be in the right...
