Although I normally meet my bride and groom before their wedding day, Mark and Marina flew in from Jersey and I only met them for the first time on the morning of the wedding! As such, I had no idea that Marina was in fact Russian and that her family had flown in from Russia to be with her on her wedding day. This was a lovely surprise and the whole day had a wonderful mix of English and Russian wedding traditions. I am not sure if it was for this reason, or that they were such lovely people, but the whole day was just that bit special, with lots of excitement and emotion….. and of course lots of translation from English to Russian and back again!

Walking down to the ceremony to the beautiful sound of the harp played by Anna Kate Pearson from Windermere…

They held their ceremony in the great hall of the Langdale Chase Hotel, it was beautiful and we got a fantastic mixture of shots from both above and below…

These gorgeous shots were taken inside the hotel before the Lake district weather cleared up!

We decided to brave the weather…

With fantastic results!

The langdale Chase is a fantastic wedding venue for it’s stunning views over Lake Windermere as you can see…

Fun was had by all when the dancing began…
