A wedding tale of two halves at St. Cuthbert’s Church, Carlisle and the Roundthorn in Penrith with Nicola and Simon

November 5, 2009

Nicola and Simon’s wedding really was a day of two halves. In the morning we had pouring rain and wind, then miraculously in the afternoon, the clouds parted and the rest of the day was glorious sunshine! After the ceremony, during the dounpour, we took advantage of the beautiful St. Cuthbert’s church in Carlisle and whisked Nicola and Simon away for a photo shoot in the church gallery. The results were fantastic!

The beautiful wedding of Elizabeth and Seb at Armathwaite Hall in Cumbria

October 10, 2009

Elizabeth and Seb’s wedding was a really memorable one for us, mostly because they were such a great couple, but partly due to the fact that when we arrived we realised that we knew loads of their guests! Having such an amazing venue with gorgeous weather was just the icing on the cake!
Elizabeth is a local solicitor and Seb is well known in the area because he used to play a lot of local football, so with all their friends, family and colleauges, there was a brilliant atmosphere. They kept all their guests entertained with a caricature artist whilst we whipped them off to take some lovely pictures in the beautiful grounds of the hotel.

Elizabeth and Seb’s wedding suppliers:

Dress: Capricorn Weddings, Carlisle
Veil: Capricorn Wedings, Carlisle
Shoes: Dune
Alice Band: Halo and Co.
Flowers: Vandella, Carlisle
Hair: Jibe, Carlisle
Make-up: The Spa at Armathwaite Hall

Let’s start with the boys…

Ok, now the bride…

Elizabeth had always wanted the opportunity to wear some mad gladiator style shoes, and she proudly shows them off here…

It was a beautiful sunny day, so we headed straight for the shade for these modern shots of the couple

Elizabeth and Seb had hired a caricature artist for the reception, he certainly kept everyone entertained!

The speeches went down a storm, as you might be able to tell…

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…
