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.

The guys before the ceremony

This gorgeous one was caught reportage style, just before Claire entered the beautiful church at Dalston

The ceremony was lovely and was even filled with laughter!

Another great reportage moment as Claire and Andrew leave the church

We took the opportunity to use the grounds at the Greenhill hotel and the beautiful wedding car for these shots
