As Cumbria’s leading wedding photographers we are used to photographing weddings at some beautiful and amazing venues, but Blairquhan Castle in Ayrshire is certainly something special. Regarded by many as one of the top fifty venues in the world to be married, we were very excited about spending the day with Ruth & Thomas on such a wonderful occasion. But just when you thought it could not get any better you also find out that the wedding is fifties themed. Ruth had done a fantastic job in arranging so much incredible detail for the day, making it a dream for us as photographers. We photographed the wedding of Ruth’s sister a few years ago and so it was lovely to be back with their family once again and we would like to thank them all for allowing us to join them on such a special and memorable occasion

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!

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.
