Photographing Weddings in the Lakes, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and beyond!

Throughout the day we put you at ease with our friendly, relaxed attitude.

I am usually with the bride in the morning where my vast wedding knowledge is often put to the test by anxious brides.

How best to care for and hold your flowers, best corsage practice and reassurance on timings for the day seem to crop up most frequently.

I always make time to take photographs of your wedding shoes, bouquet and jewellery. The little details of your wedding that are so important to you.

I’m always on hand to help brides into their dresses – something which can be surprisingly difficult once false nails are on!

At the same time as all this is happening, somewhere in a family home, hotel room or local pub, Paul is blending into the background, capturing the natural reactions of groom and groomsmen in the morning as they make final preparations and greet guests.

These relaxed portraits are often amongst couple’s favourite images and give the bride a chance to see what happened during the part of the day they would otherwise miss out on.

Throughout the day we photograph together, me at the front of the ceremony, and Paul at the back, capturing the ceremony from two different angles.

Following the service I ensure any group photos you require are done with a minimum of fuss while Paul captures guests chatting away.

We then work together to make the photos of the both of you nice and relaxed – no crazy poses (unless it’s a special request!)

Elopement weddings in the Lake District
Hi, its been a while hasn’t it? I literally cannot believe our whole summer season of weddings has been wiped out by COVID-19. It’s been very stressful and my heart absolutely goes out to those of you who have had to postpone their wedding. Our last wedding took place just before the country locked down and now we are all in limbo waiting to see what the goverment say about how and when weddings will start to take place again. All advice indicates weddings will be much smaller when they restart. With that in mind I wonder how many people will chose to elope instead and have a […]
Hannah & Chris – Parsonage Hotel, York
Spring was nearly upon us for our last wedding before the country was locked down! Hannah & Chris had a stressful time worrying about whether their big day would go ahead as planned due to coronavirus pandemic. However, there wedding fell just before restrictions were fully put into place so they managed to have their wedding day. The Parsonage Hotel in York is a lovely old building with lots of fantastic grounds and a very grand staircase! Hannah looked absolutely amazing in her gown, I love her dress and train with the all important veil and her bouquet was gorgeous, stunning details. […]
Alex & Alex, Mercure Dunkenhalgh Hotel
We have photographed a few weddings for couples with the same name so it was fun to photograph Alex & Alex’s big day in the early spring. I met Alex coming down the corridors of the Mercure Dunkenhalgh hotel in Blackburn in her amazing gown nervously waiting for the ceremony to start. The ceremony was lovely with lots of nervous laughter before the happy couple headed off to the bar for congratulation hugs and then some photographs outside. The weather was a little crazy with sunshine one minute and then torrential hail/sleet the next – we had to dash around with an umbrella! […]

Wedding Photography in the Lake District

We understand it’s a minefield trying to find the best wedding photographers in the Lake District and so we are more than happy to meet you beforehand to chat about your wedding plans.

We love lots of quirky locations in the Lake District for weddings and elopements and are more than happy to suggest locations in Cumbria for alternative wedding portraits.

Fells, tarns or even the Solway coastline are all amazing. Let your imagination run wild!

We are located within a short drive from Gretna Green, the hotspot for elopements in the UK!

Gretna Green wedding photos are lots of fun and we have special packages for short wedding photography coverage in Gretna & the Lake District

Wedding Photography in Yorkshire

Paul grew up in Yorkshire and Helen in Cumbria – we met at sixth form in Cockermouth School and have been together ever since.

We have two beautiful boys, Stanley and Albert and moved back to our home county in 2018.

Based on the outskirts of the Lake District, we love to explore the Lakes with our boys.

Particularly exploring undiscovered islands on our dinghy and when the boys are at school we like to head out on our bikes and discover the fells and beautiful Solway Coast.

Helen likes to run for fun (yes really!), watch reality TV and appreciates a good afternoon tea.

Paul loves to play snooker and collect retro video games.

Same Sex Weddings

We love photographing same sex weddings in Cumbria and Yorkshire and have been the wedding photographers at several over the years.
