A Lake District Wedding

Karen and Mark chose the Langdale Chase Hotel on the banks of Lake Windermere for their wedding. A superb venue with stunning views. It has a impressive interior and beautiful gardens. It was a very emotional day for both of them.

After the ceremony and the group photographs in the grounds, the whole bridal party went on a cruise of the lake. A lively party ensued. After the speeches Karen and Mark had a picture as the sun set over the peaks with the sun reflecting on Windermere.

Anna and Leon's wedding

Anna got married at a beautiful church, All Saints in Liverpool. She went on to the Crowne Plaza. We stopped off at Albert Dock in the afternoon and later we were lucky that  the skies were clear for a sunset and a moonlight picture. The white bridge is about 2-3 minutes walk but well worth the effort. It was just a little too windy for the Chinese lanterns that had been planned. Permission had been sought from the coastguard but they advised we might have problems because wind speed was about 20 mph. Ideally wind speed should be less than 10mph.

Peckforton Castle

Kath and Mikes wedding was at Peckforton Castle. Her theme was that it was to be all candlelit indoors. The civil ceremony was in the Castle. They then went on to a blessing in the adjoining chapel. The wedding breakfast was in the room adjoining the great hall.

Taking the photographs by candlelight and preserving the atmosphere was challenging.

Peckforton Castle is a super place to have your wedding. In recent years it has changed ownership and is now extremely popular. I have taken pictures at dusk showing the castle lit and I have taken the bride and groom onto the roof to get a sunset picture.

 

 

 

Helen and Iain's wedding

Helen works in London but had got her heart set on having her wedding reception at Egerton House in Bolton. It is a beautiful country house on the outskirts of Bolton

Her timing was perfect the rhododendrons were in full bloom.

Rebecca and Nicholas's Wedding

Rebecca had broken her foot just before the wedding but she was determined to carry on as though nothing had happened . She got married at St Pauls Parish Church at Scotforth. Regrettably Revd Dr Mark Smith is one of the very few priest's that do not allow photography during the ceremony. I always consider that some of the most moving pictures are taken during the ceremony. The groom turning round to see his bride for the first time. The look on father's face as he gives her away. The exchange of rings and then that first kiss as husband and wife. So brides do try and pursuade the clergy to change their minds.

Rebecca had a marvellous day despite having to sit through the revelations of incidents during her childhood when father made his speech.

A wedding in the snow. Our Bride had set her heart on pictures at Fox Denton park. She was not phased in the slightest about the snow.
