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 beautiful summer wedding at the Greenhill Hotel near Carlisle with Andrew and Claire
February 5, 2010It 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.

We had a lovely day with Samantha and Geryn for their marriage at the ever popular Greehill Hotel, near Wigton, Carlisle, in November. I have enjoyed meeting up with them when we could over the last year or so, but as Sam and Geryn are both in the army, it was difficult enough trying to meet just one of them, never mind both together! Everything on the day went amazingly well and we genuinely enjoyed spending such a special time with them. You are a lovely couple and we hope you have a great life together.

Release the doves!

The ground was a bit wet with it being winter, luckily Geryn is a gentleman!

We got these lovely shots in the grounds of the Greenhill hotel, with the sun low in the winter sky…

This is a gorgeous one of Sam…

Geryn and the lads…

Geryn was asked to bring Sam’s bouquet for this shot of the girls, Sam was less than impressed…

The lovely decoration on the cake…

The speeches were great, as you can see….
