Katherine & Josh
Mr & Mrs Parker
WOW, when you are asked to photograph a steam punk themed wedding & you actually went to art college with the brides dad! Oh my Kat & Josh were just fantastic they are such a chilled out & fun couple it was a pleasure to be part of this quirky day. The couple chose The Abbey House Hotel where they were married in the Great Hall, Kat’s Dad had been very hard at it creating mini pieces of steam punk artwork as the centre pieces & table decoration. The Hall looked like a medieval banquet hall as guests took their seats together. The evening do was something else too with Kat & Josh’s very own play list which was completely them, from The Foo Fighters to Muse these guys totally rocked it!

Nataley & Peter
Mr & Mrs Dunkerley
What a beautiful & incredibly emotional day. Nateley spent the morning with her stunning little girl Eden & beautiful bridesmaids at her Mums home, joined later in the morning by her brother. It was a lovely relaxing morning as the girls all enjoyed a good pampering. Peter & the boys had an equally chilled out morning as they got ready in the couples family home just around the corner. Nataley & Peter had already done the formal part of the wedding & decided to treat their guests to an incredibly emotional exchanging of words which they had written for each other. This was all done in a marquee surrounded by the Lake District fells & beautiful Cumbrian coast. We took a little trip down to the beach looking over to Blackcomb a favourite location of Nataley, Peter & Eden where we captured so amazing family memories. Guests were treated to the beautiful chilled out sounds of the Paper Cranes before evening celebrations began, kicked off by the extremely talented Colton Brothers. Guests partied long into the evening making the most of the fading summers nights.
