Lucie & Russell – A beautiful wedding in Cumbria

Paul Mortimer — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:14:41 +0000

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

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.

Spectacular winter views with Sally and Kevin at Lodore Falls in Cumbria

We could not of asked for better winter weather for the wedding of Sally & Kevin, yes it was cold and in fact the lake was frozen solid but the winter sun and blue skies were such a bonus for a December wedding. As is often the case with my brides Sally had really done her research when it came to choosing her photographer, she is a keen photographer herself and this was one of the most important decisions for her wedding, as you can imagine she was delighted with the results. We took the first selection of outdoor shots on the jetty in front of the Lodore Falls and then we jumped in a 4×4 for the spectacular shots at Surprise View set up above the hotel. Personally I do love the black and white images of Sally inside the hotel. As you can the speeches also went well!

A beautiful wedding with Jess and Ian at Greenhill Hotel, Cumbria

Paul Mortimer — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 11:20:26 +0000

The wedding of Jess and Ian was held at St James’ Church in Carlisle, followed by The Greenhill Hotel for their reception. This is a combination of church and hotel that we really enjoy as there are so many opportunities for original and beautiful photography. As you can see we started off with Jess getting ready at home, this is always a lovely part of the day because of the excitement and emotion, it also allows us to catch some of the detail like the dress, shoes and flowers. After they were married, we took Jess & Ian away from their guests for ten minutes to take some modern posed pictures, but as is so often the case it’s the reportage natural pictures that truly capture the fun and emotion of the day. You were a lovely couple to be with and thanks for having us with you.

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
