Wedding Photographers Cumbria with Stephen & Caroline Pre Wedding Photoshoot

Now we have to confess we were surprised Stephen and Caroline chose us for their Wedding Photography as they are both keen supporters of Liverpool FC and we are from Manchester!  As we all know there is only one team in Manchester and they have surpassed Liverpools achievements in the League.  So it was hard work taking the photographs of them both dressed up in Liverpool’s new football strip but I just kept reminding myself of the number 19!  Sorry Stephen.  They are due to get married in April next year at the Fayrer Garden House Hotel and this will be another new venue for us, so we are really looking forward to it.  There are five acres of grounds and some fabulous features inside the Hotel so we should have a great time with the Wedding Photography.  We actually had a great time together (really) for this Pre Wedding photoshoot at Lowther Castle in Penrith and we were once again blessed with good weather.  Despite all the bad weather we have had in the UK this year on every occasion we have been out to photograph a pre wedding or the wedding day itself we have enjoyed really good days!  So the moral of the story is book Stephen Peters Photography if you want a good day for your Wedding!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stephen Peters Photography Awarded Licentiate by Society Of Wedding & Portrait Photographers

Just received some incredible news from the Society of  Wedding and Portrait Photographers ‘Dear Stephen – It is with great pleasure that I am able to inform you that the images (20 from 5 different weddings) have been accepted as being of a professional standard and demonstrates your ability to create images of excellence and you have been awarded Licentiate of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers’

Why is this so important to you?  Well first of all, out of the hundreds of photographers in Cumbria only four in total have been awarded Licentiate standard.  It is a guarantee to you that the standard of photographs for your wedding or portrait will be high.  Would we take a chance with a Dentist or a Doctor that hasn’t achieved their qualifications?  Probably not.  Over the last few months there have been some horror stories reported in the media where Couples have engaged the services of a photographer and been devastated when they have received very poor images.  The Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers have a huge membership spanning the whole globe and yet only a small percentage have achieved Licentiate.  For Stephen Peters Photography this is a great endorsement of the standard we have been pursuing and will continue to look at how we improve upon.  We would particularly like to thank the Couples that have supported us by booking us to capture their wedding images, it is only through that work we receive that we can achieve our goals.

We have worked at some fantastic venues this year including Holbeck Ghyll Country House Hotel, Broadoaks Country House Hotel, Storrs Hall Windermere, Leighton Hall Lancashire, Langdale Chase Hotel, Inn On The Lake Ullswater, Cartmel Racecourse, Mitton Hall Lancashire, Belsfield Hotel Windermere and now as you may have seen we also have our own Studio based in Kendal.  Good times!  If you would like Ruth and me to cover your Wedding then call us now.  Regards Steve.

Wedding Photographers Lake District with Mark & Selena at Holbeck Ghyll Hotel Cumbria

Mark and Selena were married at the prestigious Holbeck Ghyll Country House Hotel.  Recognised as one of the best restaurants in the North, Holbeck Ghyll Michelin-Starred fine dining rooms form the focal-point of most visits to this country house hotel and for Mark and Selena it proved to be a superb location.  They have lived and worked  in Dubai for the last five years but the Lake District was their chosen destination for their special day.  Selena looked fantastic in her Ian Stuart wedding dress and Mark and his Groomsmen had all treated themselves to some very smart suits from Ted Baker.  The Ceremony and the Reception were both at Holbeck Ghyll so for Ruth and I it was an easy afternoon and there are so many great places around the Hotel to get memorable images. The time of the year was spot on as well as everything was turning to Autumn colours.  All in all a great day. Music was supplied by Take Cover, a band that travelled up from Liverpool.

We have also announced on our general website the opening of our new Photographic Studio in Kendal.  So if you are interested in Before/After, Portrait, Family, Lifestyle or Model photoshoots please give us a call as we now have the facility to shoot indoors as well as out on location.
