A fantastic 50′s themed wedding at Blairquhan Castle with Ruth & Thomas

Paul Mortimer — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 21:07:14 +0000

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

Lots of fun and laughter at a beautiful wedding venue – The Swan Hotel in Newby Bridge, Cumbria

Paul Mortimer — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 17:48:45 +0000

I am often asked to take as many natural shots at weddings as possible, this has never been easier than it was at the wedding of Michelle and Ashley! As you can see they totally enjoyed the day and got into the spirit of things; this allowed us just to take a back seat and capture some fantastic fun images. The Swan Hotel at Newby Bridge is a lovely wedding venue and the tasteful, bright interior is great for the modern, vibrant images we produce.

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

Paul Mortimer — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:25:47 +0000

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!

Family wedding with Donna and Gary at Broadoaks luxury country house hotel near Windemere

Paul Mortimer — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:33:42 +0000

As a family man, it was a real pleasure to photograph the wedding of Donna & Gary and the naming ceremony of Anna and Edie, their two beautiful daughters. As is always the case when working with children, nothing ever goes quite to plan… as you can see when Edie decided that she was not going to let go of mummy – no matter what! But this just added to the occasion and I was in my element. The brief from Donna & Gary was to keep everything as casual as possible and to photograph mostly in a reportage style. This worked particularly well in the intimate setting of Broadoaks luxury Country House hotel at Windermere.

Chic wedding at the Samling with Sonia and Rob

Paul Mortimer — Fri, 22 May 2009 13:28:59 +0000

When you know that a venue has previously been a favourite of the likes of Posh ’n’ Becks and Tom ’n’ Nicole, it certainly does get you excited each time you go there to photograph a wedding. Our very own Posh ‘n’ Becks – Sonia & Rob certainly picked a fantastic combination of St Marys Church in Rydal and The Samling. They even managed to get permission for photographs in Wordsworth Gardens! There was a great moment when Sonia and Rob left the church just as a coach load of Japanese tourists was passing, the coach stopped and everyone on board rushed to the window to see Sonia and Rob, I think they took more pictures of the wedding in two minutes than I did all day! Everything about the day was just that little bit special and it was a privilege to be with such a lovely couple on such an important day.

Sonia and Rob’s wedding suppliers:

Dress: Madeline Gardner
Bridesmaids Dresses: Forever Yours
Flowers: Fleurations – Windermere, Cumbria
Hair: Aqua – Bowness-on-Windemere, Cumbria
Make-up: The Powder Room – Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria
Suits: Slaters

The venue…

The Manmire Suite at The Samling and Sonia’s killer heels!

The Church in Rydal was beautiful and perfect for this intimate ceremony.

As man and wife they were covered in confetti and then began the hike up a massive hill to the Wordsworth gardens – in those heels Sonia, well done!!

Back at The Samling we took advantage of the stunning setting. The view over the lake is fantastic, but probably even more so from the hot tub outside their honeymoon suite!!
