It all started out at Joanne's parent's home. Joanne you looked stunning!
The family are very well known in Ullswater and have the most amazing gardens and views of the lake from their home. With a chaise lounge all laid out in the garden we were set!! The girls looked fabulous.....
Gardenalia had designed the beautiful floral arrangements and Joanne looked amazing in her Ian Stuart gown.
Meanwhile at the church my assistant JK was having fun shooting the guys....
The bridesmaids just before going into church..
During the ceremony we were limited on light and movement but still captured some great moments...
Back at the reception a stunning marquee on the shores of Howtown this was the wedding entourage and wow what a lineup it was!
The thought of been able to shoot on top of a mountain was a fantastic idea and wow we had to get there by helicopter. The difficult part was trying to keep quiet as Joanne had told me a couple of weeks before about this surprise. Gavin had no idea until the day came about what the surprise gift was going to be! This image brings back some great memories as we put on the headsets and headed up over the marquee and across the Lake.
It is very difficult to land a chopper in the Lakes but if you own the viewpoint your sorted! This is the view from Gavin and Joanne's hill Knotty Hill and so it is a very special place to them and with such an incredible view and such an incredible place it was a real privilege for me to go there with them for some romantic photographs! JK was waiting for us on the other side and got this shot... Once landed we had a five minute opportunity to shoot to the max as the chopper kept spinning!
The light was perfect..
A view to die for...
So many great angles...
And then back to the helicopter to be flown to the reception and the guests in style!
Back at the reception we had some great fun with the bridal party...
The Bakerwood marquee was amazing as always!! They really are the best at what they do! Joanne and Gavin had named there tables after places they had been together and added photos of their trips. The flowers looked so elegant in tall vases designed again by Gardenalia.
Gavin and Joanne thanks for letting me be a part of your special day.... it was truly fabulous. I have seen many weddings but yours really blew me away!
