A fantastic wedding celebration with Ellie and Marcus at Kaber Chapel, Kirkby Stephen in Cumbria

February 12, 2010

Although I do enjoy every wedding I photograph, it is always nice to be involved in something a little different and this was certainly the case with Ellie and Marcus. They got married in Vegas some time ago, but had now decided to get their friends and family together for a lovely weekend away and an exchange of rings ceremony performed by Marcus’s sister. As is often the case with these ideas, they start off small, but then things change and before long Ellie had a wedding dress, three bridesmaids and not to forget a photographer! They had rented the fantastic Kaber Chapel with its indoor BBQ area, sauna and hot tub. They all had a fantastic weekend, I must admit I really felt like I was having to leave the party early when it was time for me to leave.

A fairytale winter wedding with Helen and Phil at Merewood Country House Hotel in the Lake District

February 6, 2010

A beautiful country house hotel with views of the lake, a picturesque country church, a carriage and an Aston Martin DB9….. what more could you ask for on your wedding day, other than Paul Mortimer Photography to capture the whole day for you of course! I always enjoy attending weddings at the Merewood Hotel in Windermere and I think it makes the perfect venue for a winter wedding with its open fires and cosy lounges. The wedding of Helen & Phil was no exception and we had a great day with them, I am sure you agree that the carriage Helen used is beautiful, although the Aston Martin she organised for Phil as a surprise would of been my preferred method of transport, but you know what us boys are like for our toys!

A beautiful summer wedding at the Greenhill Hotel near Carlisle with Andrew and Claire

February 5, 2010

It was nice to be asked to photograph the wedding of Claire and Andrew, as I have know Andrew’s mother for many years. She is a lovely lady and she assured them that I would do an amazing job of their wedding pictures….. no pressure there then! We started at Claires home which is a working farm with lovely views of the local countryside, before heading to the lovely local village church at Dalston, then finally we joined them at the Greenhill Hotel near Carlisle. As you can see they were certainly up for some fun on the day and it enabled us to capture lots of spontaneous moments and laughter throughout the day. I am glad to say that after the big build up Claire & Andrew were over the moon with their wedding pictures, as were their friends and family.
