Fairytale wedding photos with Alexa and Liam at Winder Hall, Lorton, Cumbria

September 30, 2009

I hope you enjoy the small selection of the 300 photos that Alexa and Liam had to choose from for their beautiful Graphi wedding album.
As Alexa owns ‘Alexa Danielle Hairdressing’ in Workington, we knew that every detail of their wedding would be perfect….. their hair would obviously be fantastic! This was certainly the case as Alexa, who was wearing a beautiful Ian Stuart Bridal gown, looked stunning. All the 9 bridesmaids wore white and it really added to the magical feel of the day.
As you can see from the banner above we loved the shots from the wedding so much that we are using them in some of our advertising material. We particularly liked the pictures in the church, and because we had recently upgraded our cameras to the latest model, Canon 5d mk2, this helped us get even better pictures in the low light conditions.

Gretna Green runaways Kate and Lee

September 9, 2009

I really enjoyed the time with Kate & Lee as they tied the knot at the Old Black Smiths in Gretna Green. As you can see, I just tried to stay in the background for some reportage style photography as the couple enjoyed some champagne on the balcony of the overlooking Smith’s hotel. Initially it was just the three of us but we had to drag a couple off the street to be witnesses, they were over the moon and it certainly made their day, leaving them with lasting memories of their visit to Gretna Green. We finished off the shoot with a few modern posed pictures around Smiths Hotel.

For a midweek wedding with coverage for 1-2 hours, I normally charge in the region of £295 and provide the images on a disc for you to print out as you like. This is fantastic value particularly when you view the quality of our work.

Fantastic wedding at Greystoke Castle with Hayley and David

September 4, 2009

We are very fortunate in that we do tend to photograph some of the nicest weddings in Cumbria and the wedding of Hayley & David was certainly no exception. The combination of a lovely couple, glorious sunshine, Greystoke Castle, a Bakerwood Marquee and a helicopter, left us feeling like children in a sweet shop (as you might be able to tell)! Greystoke castle really is a wonderful venue and I love to work there, but then being able to move on to Hayley’s parent’s beautiful home in Dalston was a real treat. Hayley & David really know how to travel in style and would like to personally thank family friend Malcolm Wilson, for the use of his fantastic helicopter. We would like to thank Hayley and David for allowing us to record the story of their fantastic day.

Getting ready…
