wedding photography at augill castle in cumbria

Jag and Andrew had a great wedding at the lovely and intimate Augill Castle, and Jag turned out to be a natural when it came to her wedding photography.  They had a great time with a lovely tight knit group of close friends and family, and some great jokes from the children during the speeches icon smile Jag and Andrews wedding photography at Augill Castle

Andrew got a wee bit carried away when we went off for their couple photos, and just had to climb everything in sight!

Click play below for a short show of the highlights from the day and for the full shoot to our lake district wedding photography gallery here to be sent the link automatically as soon as the images go live on-line. This will be the day after the couple receive their finished  album.

Karen and Jeremy were married at St Mary’s church in Rydal, after travelling over from Egremont.

They surprised their guests by having the coach drop them off at Lowwood pier where they were transferred to a steamer for a lake cruise to Storrs Hall for the wedding breakfast. The couple travelled there in style in a speedboat icon smile Karen and Jeremys wedding

That evening they went back to The Lowwood Hotel for the party and the dancing, there is a sneak preview slideshow below of the highlights of the day, and the full wedding can be viewed in our lake district wedding galleries here after the weekend.

The Armathwaite Hall wedding of Sarah and Dean

Thursday, October 6, 2011 Posted in armathwaite hall, lake district weddings

desa0341 w111001 wrendeansarahfoster The Armathwaite Hall wedding of Sarah and Dean

Sarah and Dean were married at one of cumbria’s grandest hotels, Armathwaite Hall just outside Keswick. Sadly Sarah’s mum was in hospital, but she was able to watch the service via Skype from Simons i-phone and the hotels own web cam.

This was another wedding where I have previously photographed the family, having shot Carole’s other daughter, Vicki’s wedding at The Lodore Hotel a few years ago, Vicki’s family shots, Sarah and Deans engagement shots and then Vicki and Sarah’s new babies not so long ago! Just for you Carole, I’ve rushed this blog post so you can watch the highlight show of your daughters day below.

The full set of images will be available to view after Sarah and Dean come back from honeymoon and select their album images in our lake district wedding photography gallery here.

The West Lakes Hotel wedding of Jennifer and Mark

Thursday, October 6, 2011 Posted in lake district weddings, west lakes hotel

jema0485 w110827 eastwoodmarkjenniferrotston The West Lakes Hotel wedding of Jennifer and Mark

Its lovely when you find yourself photographing the same families over time, and especially lovely in this case as I have photographed both the Mark and Rebecca’s sisters babies, as well as Marks family in my Keswick studio.

The couple were married in Gosforth church and transport was provided by Black Horses based in Cartmel. (Incidentally, the last time I shot these horses, an image of the couple in the horse and cart won a silver award in the nw england reportage wedding photography category)

After the service it was off to the usual lovely hospitality from The West Lakes Hotel, for a delicious meal, some great speeches and a rocking dancefloor.

A short show of some of the images can be viewed below, and the complete set will go live in our lake district wedding photography gallery here after the weekend.

Rebecca and Adam’s wedding was held at Morland Hall outside Penrith. A lovely venue which they had the run of for the weekend.  Luckily it makes for great pictures inside, as it rained  rather a lot, although that didn’t manage to dampen the celebrations.

Tuesday, September 13, 2011 Posted in borrowdale hotel, lake district weddings

mach0259 w110910 markcappercherylburquest Keswick wedding photography, Cheryl and Mark at The Borrowdale HotelCheryl and Mark had a wild and windy, but great,  wedding at the weekend.

They were married at Our Lady of the Lakes catholic church in keswick, and were due to travel by boat around Derwentwater to the Borrowdale Hotel for their reception. The flowers were provided by Evergreens of Keswick. Heavy rain all day cleared for going to the lake, but unfortunately the winds were too high for the steamer service, so the guests went back on the coaches for the short run up Borrowdale.  It did give us 10 mins to get some quick pictures of the windblown couple tho icon smile Keswick wedding photography, Cheryl and Mark at The Borrowdale Hotel

Click on the image below for a quick show of the highlights from the day, and the complete wedding will be on our lake district wedding photography gallery here after the couple have viewed and chosen their images.
