Wedding Photographer Cumbria

Carlisle Wedding Photographer Cumbria One of the many places I end up travelling to for my wedding photography is Cumbria. It's easily one of the most gorgeous and scenic locations to visit in the UK! It's always a pleasure to get many weddings based in this area. Carlisle is one of my most popular locations for my portrait photography, as I get many family photo shoots based in the area. Despite the popularity for families, it's also been a popular area for weddings as well. I've had the pleasure of photographing weddings all over England, Scotland, Wales, Italy and Spain. I tend...

I Don't Want My Pictures on Social Media or Online, is That Possible? A number of times over the years, just once in a while, I get a request to keep a potential client's photos off social media and my blog. How do I, as the photographer, feel about this? I completely and utterly understand not wanting photos online! Especially when it comes to your children, you may not want to have those photos in plain sight for just anyone to see. Also your privacy is very important, and you may simply wish not to have your photos online. I always work along with a client - if they prefer to keep...

Wedding Photography Packages The first thing people usually ask me when they get in touch is what are my prices and packages. Obviously a very important part of booking a wedding photographer! My main package is a full day package. Most couples prefer to have someone cover photography from bride prep (sometimes groom prep too if he's nearby!) the ceremony, wedding breakfast and the evening reception until just after the First Dance. I do get variations on this package though which is why I'm always happy to tailor a package to suit each couple. Some brides and grooms have requested:...

Wedding USBs | Wedding Photo Storage As a wedding photographer I know how important memories are, which is why I always import my wedding photos onto USBs to make sure they're on a safe place to store. I place them in a decorative box, which a couple can keep for many years to come. Sometimes life happens and it's possible to lose your wedding photos (especially during the chaos of a house move!) which is why I always keep a hard copy of your photos for two years after the wedding to make sure your photos are safe. I know just how devastating it can be to lose your memories -- especially...

Wedding Day Emotions | Emotional Wedding Photography One of the most beautiful parts of working as a Wedding Photographer is witnessing the emotions that come with the day. The secret little smile between a bride and groom - the bridesmaid having the time of her life on the dance floor - the wedding guest shedding a tear during speeches - the Father of the Bride seeing his little girl for the first time dressed as a beautiful bride. Each and every emotion is such a pleasure to capture, a little insight into the deeper feelings of the day. Some weddings are bursting with emotions, and I'm spoiled...

Worried About Rain On Your Wedding Day? | Wedding Photographer UK Most couples book their wedding months, if not years, in advance to the big day. The British weather is certainly unpredictable (don't we all know it!) and whatever the time of year, rain is always a possibility. It's often a big worry on a bride's mind. A few tips that can help with your pre-wedding weather jitters: Ensure you have some umbrellas to hand. It may seem obvious, but I always carry around some large cream umbrellas in the boot of my car, just in case. It's one less thing for brides to think about, and in actual...

Sam & Ste | Storrs Hall Wedding Photographer The lovely Sam and Ste were married a few days ago at the stunning wedding venue Storrs Hall in Cumbria. The building is set on Lake Windermere which was a perfect backdrop for their special day.

The atmosphere was so relaxed, and it was clear how much everyone was enjoying themselves by all of the laughter. Ste and Sam,...

Sarah & Matt | Wedding Photographer Broadoaks Cumbria Meet Matt and Sarah. This gorgeous couple were married a few days ago at the beautiful wedding venue Broadoaks Country House Hotel in Cumbria.

This type of weather may be upsetting at first on a wedding day, but there is usually some sun at the end! Matt and Sarah were able to go outside and enjoy the grounds of the venue for both photographs and time together...
