Langley Castle is the venue Karen and Paul chose for their wedding – and what a venue it is! Not only is it a magnificent castle, but the quality of service and attention to detail from the staff is always exceptional. As both Karen and Paul were getting ready in the Castle, it was great to be able to catch both of their preparations with their friends and family around them as the excitement and anticipation grew. Paul is known to be a bit of a perfectionist (as his best man mentioned on more than one occasion in his speech) so everything had to be right, and it was! We had a great day with you and would like to thank you both for allowing us to share it with you.

Karen’s Veil was stunning… I imagine there will be a few more brides-to-be going to Bracelona on shopping trips now!

Karen and Paul put a lot of effort into making their wedding stationary and place cards – it really paid off! They had a very tasty looking candy bar, which is something you don’t see very often.

Poor Paul, suitably embarassed by his best man’s speech!

The majority of weddings I tend to photograph these days are usually large, with 80 or more guests, so it was nice to be invited to cover a smaller wedding with just Jane and Lee’s family and close friends in attendance. The whole day was very relaxed and had a warmth and atmosphere which made my job so easy. I think that Crosby Lodge near Calisle, was the perfect venue for their intimate wedding. Jane was wearing one of the most simple, but stylish wedding gowns I have seen and looked absoultley fantastic! The combination of a lovely couple, family, friends and Crosby Lodge’s beautiful garden, made it a memorable day for all.
