Some weddings are extra special, not just because of the setting or the details but because of the people involved. Kelly and Liam’s autumn wedding at Kinmount House was exactly that—an incredible celebration filled with love, laughter, and deeply personal touches. Having known Kelly since our University of Cumbria days, it was an absolute honour…
The Fleece at Ruleholme used to be called The Golden Fleece, and I first photographed a wedding there, maybe ten years ago?! Since then, it has been transformed into a totally new building with a new name and brand. It’s always sad to see a venue get knocked down, but what has taken its place…
Well, these two are not only utterly gorgeous, but they have a crazy romantic story that starts way back in their school days together. Arianna told me their story, which you can read below, and if I’m honest, I can’t add anything else to this amazing story, so ill just leave it down to Arianna!…
Wow… Where to start!? This wedding had it all! The huge Hornington Manor, for a few days, so all the family could hang out for a few days together as well as an outdoor wedding ceremony in autumn in the Yorkshire countryside! Followed by a Barn wedding reception. Perfect! They met at passing ships in…
Chris & Laura met online in 2018 and after a first date at the cinema where the film was so naff, they just talked all the way through. On that date, Chris invited Laura on a trip to the Lake District and they have been together as a couple ever since, visiting The Lakes every…
Lauren & Jake contacted me in April asking to photograph their Elopement at the gorgeous Hidden River Cabins. After previously planning a rather large wedding they decided that the wedding day was moving further and further away from what they wanted, and away from their relationship milestone of marriage. So instead, Lauren and Jake gathered…
I adore a winter wedding and one at New House Farm was on my bucket list. It’s almost impressive that it’s taken me so long to photograph this stunning rustic barn wedding venue but when I finally got to photograph it for Rebecca & Adam, it was far from a “Normal” Wedding. And I LOVE…
I had never photographed a wedding at the Villa Levens, just outside of the village Levens near Kendal. However, with only 2 days to go, I was contacted by a photographer who was sadly ill and in hospital needing a wedding covered. I adore the wedding photography community as I genuinely feel like it’s a…
I’ve said it before, ill say it again, Storrs Hall is the perfect venue for a Lake District wedding. Be that a huge all-out one, or like Grace & Netran, a small intimate wedding day with the closest people to them all around. This small winter wedding at Storrs Hall was actually a first for…
I adored Stephen & Amanda’s Hidden River Barn Wedding, even if the original plan was not for an intimate wedding, they held on through the lockdowns and postponements of 2020 and with changes, managed to still say their vows and have their winter wedding on their original date!
A small Hexham House wedding celebrating their tenth anniversary as a couple by saying their vows in front of their closest friends and family.
Kayleigh & Matthew contacted me in December last year about their upcoming small intimate casual wedding plans asking if I would photograph them. Of course! I jumped at the chance as I was available for their date.
We all know I love a winter wedding, but Abby & Phil’s winter wedding at the Garden At Eden was on one of the shortest days of the year! As a photographer, that’s hard to work with but I love a challenge and I adore this couple!
Winter weddings are always beautiful, the twinkly lights, the cosey fires and hopefully a little bit of snow! Well, Natalie and Lukes winter wedding at the stunning Inn On the Lake overlooking Ullswater was incredible!
Katie & David’s stunning Autumnal Wedding At Askham Hall was amazing! Full of fun, laughs, dancing and gorgeous couple portraits all within Askham Halls stunning grounds and a dry autumn day.
Sharon & Jim’s Scottish Church & Skitby House Wedding crossed 3 venues and 2 countries! Its one joy of living in Carlisle, close to Scotland.
Sarah & David married at the Cragwood Country House Hotel in the Lake District in a Just Us elopement ceremony.
Lanercost Priory near Hadrian’s wall is steeped in history. It is also where this gorgeous couple said their “I do’s” in a long family tradition.
Kirsty and Darren said their vows at the Anvil Hall in Gretna followed by their reception at The Halston Hotel in Carlisle. Both being Scottish and living in the English city of Carlisle, they wanted to get married in Scotland but also keep the party close to home.
Jade & David eloped to the stunning Merewood County House hotel on Windermere with what the hotel calls a “Just us wedding” The day was full of glorious sunshine and adventure. David wrote a rather cute story of how they came to be the amazing couple that they are so I’m just going to leave it to him to tell the story…
Balmule House is an incredible venue of choice for a winter wedding, and it was exactly where Henry and Jen decided to tie the knot.
Emma & Adam’s Winter Wedding at Healey Barn was amazing! Neither of them particularly ones to be the centre of attention were looking to have a relaxed wedding day where people could catch up and let their hair down.
David & Quitterie had their beautiful handfasting wedding on the lake district, Eskdale to be precise. Which they fell in love with while searching for a wedding venue in the UK.
Becky and Rich met through mutual friends at the end of January 2015 in a bar in Leeds called Carpe Diem. Becky was drinking a not so lovely strawberry daiquiri which contained a little too much sugar – needless to say she was not a fan! Their first date was at Roundhay Park where Rich spoke about flanges and spotted a plastic bag which turned out to be a dead bird – it’s safe to say things looked good from the off!
Lucy & Sean said their vows at Cragwood Country House Hotel in a ‘Just Us’ ceremony, followed by an adventure to Rydal Water. It was beautifully intimate and perfect in every way. It was an absolute honour to be there for these two. Their story, the road they have walked down to get here, isn’t the easiest of reads. Needless to say, a kiss of life was needed, and when things like that happen, I believe priorities change and realign.
Cassie & Jonny said their vows in front of friends and family at The Halston followed by their wedding reception at The Tithe Barn Carlisle. I love a Tithe Barn Wedding, It just has such a cool feel even though its right in the centre of town.
A long weekend break for all at the gorgeous Hidden River Cabins set the scene for this down to earth special duos Cumbrian elopement.
A beautiful small village church wedding with a grand wedding reception at the fantastic Lartington Hall on the Lartington Hall estate.
Handmade wedding dress, trial bikes and tricks and a live rock venue. It sure makes for an alternative wedding!
