Martin & Sam..Gorgeous late summer wedding at Lanercost

The September sun shone all day as guests from close to home and from Ireland travelled to see local solicitor Samantha marry her Irish man Martin at Lanercost in Cumbria.

The wedding preparations started at Samantha’s parents home a beautiful stone house Abbey Bridge which is situated in walking distance of the priory. The flowers supplied by the fabulous Bloomsberry were amazing with subtle shades of purples setting the colour scheme of the day. Samantha’s amazing dress was from local supplier Capricorn.

I was honoured to be a part of this wedding as Samantha’s mother Sue is also head teacher at the school that my daughter’s attend…….. so NO pressure!



Samantha looked radiant as she posed in the wonderful terraced gardens of Abbey Bridge.



Then it was off to the priory for the ceremony, no car was required they just walked in the summer sun! The bridal procession was met by the local vicar who walked them over the bridge from the family home to the church to meet the wedding guests.



Sam linking her father’s arm and that fab bouquet again!



Because no photographs were allowed from the front of the church I had to think about how I was going to capture the ceremony. My new super cool second generation NIKON lense never fails to let me down in this situation as I was right at the back when I captured this shot!



The priory is the most amazing place for photographs especially when you enter the ruins. What a setting for a group photograph!



The bridal party…



The fabulous reception details in Dacre Hall. Again more amazing displays by Bloomsberry and fabulous food by Sarah Baker of Bakerwood.



This was such a lovely summers wedding…. I am sure you are having a wonderful honeymoon in Italy. Thanks for allowing us to capture your special day!
