Lisa & Chris chose the Swan Hotel at Newby Bridge for their wedding and I think they made a great choice. Although most of our weddings are at Country House Hotels, the Swan is a gorgeous alternative. It is a larger hotel situated on the banks of a river and small marina, it is uniquely and fantastically furnished. I love its style and vibrant colours. It was a lovely warm day and as you can see we photographed a lovely selection of both naturally captured and posed shots. My personal favourites are the selection with the couple and their gorgeous little girl.

For the second time in as many weeks, we had the pleasure of joining a family for the marriage of another one of their children. We photographed Paul’s sister’s wedding a few years ago and now we were lucky enough to be asked to photograph Paul & Lesley on their special day. They chose the beautiful Addingham church near Little Salkeld for their marriage and then we followed them to Leeming House for their reception. Leeming House is one of the nicest venues around with truly stunning panoramic views of Ullswater and the surrounding mountains – it makes for some really dramatic wedding photography! We were also very lucky to be there on such a scorching hot day – it was simply stunning.

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.
