John & Marie...Love at the Roundthorn, Penrith

John and Marie went to school together then several years in 2007 they met again and the rest is history! They chose their hometown of Penrith to hold their wedding where 100 family and friends joined them to celebrate.

I started out at Marie's parent's house for photographs of Marie getting ready and captured some of the details. Marie's dress was stunning bought from Marrime in Kendal. Marie's flowers were done by the bride's friend - Valerie Dugdale.



Maria's flowers were a selection of beautiful tea roses and eucalyptus.



Over at St Andrew's Church John was awaiting Marie's arrival. All the men were very smart all dressed in suits from Edwards Menswear of Penrith.



Marie arriving in style with a beautiful vintage car from Parkers of Kendal.



What a proud father!!



The happy couple after the ceremony....



I wanted to use the quaint streets around the church for something a little different and was happy with the results....

Jay & Claire ....small family wedding at Smiths, Gretna

Wow I have had a busy summer! So lots of blog entries to come showing a selection of some of the weddings I have been photographing. Let's start with a lovely little wedding in June that I photographed...

Jay and Claire and a small party of their closest family and friends joined them for a lovely summer wedding at Smiths Hotel in Gretna Green. I started out photographing Claire and her little girl Ava. Claire's flowers were created by Gardenalia.



Meanwhile Jay and son Jack were getting ready to head off to the ceremony at Anvil Hall....



During the ceremony.....



Jay and Claire were keen to get some family shots with their two children who were great to photograph!





Silver Lady wedding cars took them on a little romantic drive where we stopped off for some romantic images.







Then it was back to Smiths where Jay and Claire's family enjoyed a relaxed meal prepared by the award winning chefs at Smiths in one of the hotel's new private dining areas! Thanks for letting me share your day it was a pleasure to meet you all!
