Wedding Photography with Chris & Sharon. Life sometimes can be quite hard to accept. When Chris and Sharon first contacted us both were fit and well, also having three daughters. The youngest, Maisy, came along with them to visit Ruth and I to discuss their wedding plans which was to be in May this year. They decided they were going to book our top package which includes a Pre Wedding photoshoot which Chris especially was keen to have take place in the urban spread of Manchester. So we settled on a shoot around the end of Deansgate near the Hilton Hotel. View full post »

Rob & Alissia’s Isle of Skye Wedding Photographer. As promised this is the second part of Rob & Alissia’s wedding photography. We have photographed a few weddings at this venue and it never fails to impress. With the stunning backdrop of the mountains beyond it makes an ideal location for such a happy day. Rob and Alissia were both very keen to get the maximum out of their wedding photography, which makes it a real pleasure for us to work hard in creating as many opportunities as possible for images that the couple will cherish for a lifetime.

Chris and Sharon opted for a pre-wedding photography shoot in Manchester so we arranged to meet them in the really cool Hilton Hotel on Deansgate. It is many years since we have been into this part of Manchester and much has changed so it was a case of walking down streets and looking for great places to photograph. Quite a change from taking wedding and pre wedding photographs in the Lake District!
The staff at the Hilton Hotel were fantastic and many thanks to Damian for the help he offered during the photoshoot. Chris and Sharon get married in May at Broadoaks Country House Hotel near Windermere. So this photoshoot represented a real contrast to what we will be using as background locations in May. There is a real emotional story to tell about this couple but we will wait until after the wedding to tell it.
We got this email from Emma ‘They are so amazing it is unreal the work that you did. It means the world to me n Tom and will call you soon to sort out a cd of all the photos and an album that we want if that’s ok. I will pass your name on to every person I can as the work is outstanding!!! Thank you so much you have told the story of our wedding in photos and we will cherish them forever.’
As for the Bride she looked stunning too and although we think Tom is a little shy by nature he was up for anything we suggested on the day. What is it about the Groomsmen that most seem to like to jump! Well here is the complete story of Tom & Emma’s Wedding day. For our other photography, portraits, models, commercial etc please go to our website www.stephepetersphotography.co.uk.
This is part two of the Blog for Stephen and Amanda’s wedding held at The Inn On The Lake Ullswater Cumbria. They were a fantastic Couple to work with, being very happy to try anything we suggested including a cold dip in the Lake for Amanda!
We have a busy month again ahead of us with bookings for our Photographer Training Day, a commercial photoshoot of Classic Cars to be taken at Holbeck Ghyll Hotel and a Wedding at Barnard Castle in Yorkshire. Just an extra word about our Training Days which are exceptional value. We do a one on one day which can be based in our Studio or out on location or a mix of both. If you research prices on the internet for these type of days they are typically between £500 – £1000 depending on the photographer carrying out the training. For the rest of this year we are offering this service for just £200. This fee also includes supply of models for the day and use of all of Stephen Peters Photography lighting equipment. So if you want to improve or practice please get in touch. We only have two days left in August and September is fully booked leaving some dates from October to December.
Stephen & Amanda were married at The Inn On The Lake Ullswater on one of those very hot days we were experiencing for once in our lives in the Lake District. Amanda had chosen an Ian Stuart wedding dress which just looked fabulous. Carrie Graham looked after make up which really looked good on Stephen, maybe just a bit too much red suntan! Lisa Hill from Amici Hair and Beauty styled Amanda’s hair. Gary, John and Kerri, the team at Inn On The Lake, made sure everything ran to plan as usual and Geraldine Ophide from The Wedding Studio made a really cool job of dressing chairs and tables. There were too many interesting photos to do just one Blog so we will prepare another one in fairly quick order.
We are off to shoot another Wedding on Friday at Broadoaks Windermere, another stunning location and hoping the forecast stays dry. So to see more wedding photography tune in again next week.
This is the second of three Blogs from Halecat House and Garden. This one features Laura, who recently married, and works for herself as a Wedding Hairdresser. Whilst we were doing this photoshoot Laura mentioned she had not got any detail shots from her own wedding so we made sure to include some in this blog. There are of course many great places to get married in the Lake District and we have worked ourselves at many of them on behalf of Brides and Grooms. Halecat offers something a little different as it is in a unique setting. Their own description says ‘This elegant late Georgian House is beautifully placed at the head of an ancient wooded valley with wonderful views over Arnside and Morecambe Bay. It is part of the Witherslack Estate at the southern end of the Lake District. A very popular area for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts with glorious unspoilt natural mixed woodlands and many sites of Special Scientific Interest. The House and Garden are now available for self catered holiday lets, events and weddings.’ I can only agree with their comments as it was a lovely place to photograph. For Wedding Photographers Cumbria aka Stephen Peters Photography it turned out to be a great day!
There have been some hot days this last two weeks and this was one of the hottest. I thought I was melting as I spent three hours in the midday sun photographing Abi and two other Brides which I will feature in blogs to come! However it was a very rewarding day for us to show what Wedding Photographers Cumbria aka Stephen Peters Photography can do. Several people made this a very successful photoshoot to help launch a brand new venue for Wedding Ceremonies and Receptions, Halecat House & Gardens. Clive from Lancashire Classic Jaguar Hire Ltd brought along two really cool cars, a stunning red E-Type Jaguar and a classic ‘Herbie’ soft top. Samantha Sharp from Harmony Beauty Therapy, a local business based in Cartmel, came along to apply some innovative make up which I wanted to be bold and colourful. Laura Tyson, newly married herself, looked after hair styles on the day for three Brides who worked hard as I asked for them to set the poses making the most of our location. Roy from Lakeland Doves supplied, guess what, the white doves!
Steph, who is looking after the development of Halecat as a wedding venue, made sure that the House and Gardens were pristine and as these images show it is a beautiful location for intimate weddings.
