Beth & Ryan – Briery Wood weddings

Bride and groom cuddle and smile for camera, Briery Wood weddings, Windermere, Lake District

There are lots of hotels in Windermere that specialise in small, intimate elopement weddings. Briery Wood Hotel is set up on the hills above the lake and is a lovely location for a summery wedding.

Beth & Ryan have been together for a long time and chose to head to Windermere for a small elopement wedding with their friend and Ryan’s sister as witnesses. It was a lovely sunny summer day for the wedding and the grounds of the hotel look amazing for photos.

They were all getting ready together in their room when I arrived, there was just time for a few last minute outfit adjustments before they headed outside for the ceremony. I love outdoor ceremonies and Briery Wood has a lovely summerhouse perfect for intimate weddings.

The happy couple wrote personal vows for each other which was great personal touch for a wedding, after the wedding they headed off for drinks. We had a chance to have a wander around the gardens for photos. I love the long grasses and the little ponds around the gardens and the pop of colour with the hydrangeas. Perfect for photos.

We left them to head off on a lake cruise – what a way to end the perfect elopement wedding day in the Lake District. Congratulations to you both!! xx
