As a photographer, the wedding of Lucie & Russell was certainly one of my favourites of the year.

Lucie was married in her village church and then returned to her parent’s beautiful garden next to the river for her reception. I love to be able to photograph a mix of venues during a wedding, especially when they are as beautiful as the marquee and church that Lucie and Russell chose. As you can see from my images below we have once again captured a lovely mix of modern elegant posed photography and those special natural moments that just happened, these moments need no intrusion or guidance from us but they do require a particular approach and skill to capture them. I particularly like the photographs that show Lucie’s dad seeing her for the first time and the pictures that show the emotion between Lucie and Russell in the church. The picture under that particular tree is a family tradition that Lucie and Russell have now followed and become part of, it was a pleasure to be with you both, thanks for the invite!

Samantha & James chose the beautiful hotel and setting of the Rampsbeck Hotel for their wedding and we certainly think they made the right choice.

Theirs was the third wedding we had photographed at the hotel in as many months and it is certainly becoming one of our favourite venues. The hotel is definitely worth a look for any couple who have not chosen their venue yet. It has wonderful views over lake Ullswater and the hotel its self has a lovely home like feel to it, not to mention very friendly and accommodating staff. It was a special place for James to return to as he at one time was the chef at the Rampsbeck and it holds many happy memories for him.

We hope you enjoy a small selection of the lovely pictures we captured of their day.

I was really looking forward to photographing the wedding of Emma & Simon and although the weather let us down, the couple and the venue certainly did not. As you can see Emma looked amazing and Simon scrubbed up pretty well too! They held their ceremony in the church within the grounds of Muncaster Castle and their reception followed in a marquee with the castle as the back drop. Unfortunately, the heavens decided to open just as Emma arrived at the church and then hardly stopped for the rest of the day, as you can see though, this never stops us from capturing stunning images. Muncaster Castle is a wonderful place for a wedding and well worth a look if you have not picked your venue yet.

Just a little apology for all the people we are having to turn down for photography next year, many of our bookings are coming in two years prior to the wedding so do your best to book early and avoid disappointment.
