Wedding Photographers Lake District at Fayrer Garden Hotel with Stephen & Caroline

Wedding Photographers Lake District were with Stephen and Caroline yesterday for their Wedding at Fayrer Garden Hotel in Windermere Cumbria. The day started overcast and dull which gave us cause for concern as we knew Caroline had planned a lot of activity for the day. As we arrived we remarked to them that last year, despite the terrible weather, every Wedding we had attended had enjoyed clear days and sunny rays. Would this turn out to be the same? We couldn’t believe it as the clouds cleared through the day, the sky turned into blue and white and the sun warmed everyone up. Now Wedding Photographers Lake District clearly do not control the weather but we are obviously delighted that we have all enjoyed better days.

Family had travelled in from far flung places such as Brighton but for Stephen and Caroline it wasn’t too far to travel. This was our first time at Fayrer Garden and as well as being a really cool place to get married we must say a big thank you to all the Staff who looked after everyone, including Ruth and I, so well. When Caroline first visited us and briefed us on her requirements for the wedding photography she made clear she liked colour images that are in focus! We think we may have delivered on that one! Caroline’s dress was hand made for her by Jacquie Kidd and was a stunner. The unusual wedding cake which had a rainbow sponge inside was supplied by Jackie at Celebration Cakes. Hair and Make Up was by Laura Hill. Chair and room Decor was provided by Geraldine Ophide. After the Ceremony and some formal photos the four of us headed off to Lake Windermere and a quiet little jetty as that was one of the images Caroline was very keen to get. Then it was a quick dash up to Waterhead to board the boat which took us all down to Lakeside. There an old classic coach, supplied by Cumbria Classic Coaches, awaited the Guests and after a run through the countryside delivered everyone safely back to the Hotel. Stephen stood up to give his speech and had his Mum in tears as he exclaimed his love for Caroline and told us all how they had met. To round off the day it was fireworks in the Hotel gardens and then for Ruth and I, after a 14 hour day, back home to collapse.

Wedding Photographers Lake District Italian Albums

Wedding Photographers Lake District recently exhibited some wonderful new Italian Wedding Albums. We thought we would showcase an Album that we have compiled from Sam & Lorna’s Wedding that took place last year at Broadoaks Country House Hotel in Windermere Cumbria. Lorna’s stunning wedding dress was designed by Lusan Mandongus and so many Couples who have seen the photographs have commented on how elegant Lorna looked. At the Church in Thornthwaite Cumbria the Manchester String Quartet greeted us all as we entered and then at the Reception pianist Stewart Fleming entertained all the Guests. Later on in the evening Champagne served up some dance music that kept everyone busy until the early hours. A little earlier in the evening we had taken a trip down to the lakeside to capture some images as the night sky appeared. Quite a bit of photoshop work went on afterward to remove all the midges which had been circling them both!

This Album from Wedding Photographers Lake District is a sample of the Varnished cover which is available in a number of different colours. The name of the couple and date of the wedding is laser etched into surface. There is a choice of Album page thickness from thin to thick and rigid. This one is rigid and so makes for quite a thick book. You will also see a choice of different page background colours from black, white, light silver and dark silver. We have also included in this Album some of the more ‘arty’ finishes with faded photographs. All of this is your choice to make. ÂOur standard wedding package now includes an Album 20cm * 30cm with cover type, colour and page type of your choice. We have a Swatch book that show all of these options.

Wedding Photographers Lake District Rheged Wedding Fayre

Wedding Photographers Lake District were at the Rheged Wedding Fayre earlier this week. It was great to meet so many Brides to Be and we are looking forward to being the Wedding Photographers Lake District that capture images for them.

I managed to take some quick photographs of the Catwalk show and of course our own stand. We had taken four brand new Wedding Albums with us and they went down really well. They are all hand made in Italy and are of exceptional quality. The first Wedding Album had a Varnished Red Cover with the names of one of our Wedding Couples from 2012 engraved by laser. The second was a Nappa Leather Album presented in a beautiful Art Box. The third was a textured Leather with photographic insert and the final one an Acrylic cover.

We also now have a Swatch book which has every possible option encased within including Covers, Colours and Paper style and thickness. If you are wanting an Album that will be cherished for life and an heirloom to pass down to future generations of your family then visit Wedding Photographers Lake District’s studio and let us show you what we have.

So I thought the Ladies out there, and especially future Brides, might appreciate a quick glimpse of some of the beautiful Wedding dresses that were on show. If you missed us at Rheged do not worry as there is a second chance to come along and meet us this month. On Sunday 24th March we are at the really cool Inn On The Lake Wedding Fayre, Ullswater, Cumbria. This is a favourite place of ours in The Lake District as we have photographed some beautiful Weddings there and its location is just ideal for romantic and intimate images.

Wedding Photographers Cumbria at The Grosvenor London

Wedding Photographers Cumbria were with Ian & Cathy in January for their Pre Wedding photoshoot. Due to the extremely cold weather and the fact that Ian had not been too well we decided to capture our images together in the Hotel.

Like most couples we meet Ian & Cathy were very apprehensive about having their photographs taken, so we usually start out with something straightforward and easy and work our way up to getting them really loved up! For this photoshoot with Wedding Photographers Cumbria we were in London at the really cool Grosvenor Hotel on Buckingham Palace Road London. What a building, fully restored back to all former glory with gorgeous marble pillars and staircase plus two really picturesque wrought iron spiral staircases, not something we come across in The Lake District. Ian is a great Classical Pianist and you can find his work at http://ian-haywood.co.uk/shop.html. They are getting married at the Yewfield in The Lake District in May and Ian has composed a special piece of music for Cathy on the day. That is surely going to be an emotional moment and one I will definitely want to capture.

If you are a Bride and Groom couple reading this and you would like to meet up there is a great opportunity to do that on Tuesday night, 12th Feb, as I am exhibiting at the Wedding Fayre at Stonecross Manor, an event sponsored by the Westmorland Gazette newspaper. We have enjoyed meeting a lot of Wedding Couples there in the past and the Brides will be interested to know you can watch catwalk bridal gown shows as well as talking to me about lots of stuff!

Bridal Photoshoot by Wedding Photographers Lake District at the Netherwood Hotel

January has turned out to be a really busy month and we expected it was going to be quiet! We started out with a visit to London where we had a Pre Wedding photoshoot with Ian and Cathy, a Lifestyle photoshoot with Nigel and AnneMarie and finally a Fashion shoot with three models along the Embankment. When we got back we then had a Family photoshoot at our Photography Studio in Kendal followed by a really cool model photoshoot with Ginny. So plenty of photographs for me to process and blog!

We recently delivered Michael & Katies Album and wanted to show an example of the quality of Albums we deliver. You can see a photo album of this on our Facebook page at Lake District Wedding Photographer aka Schtuff. This one was a Crystal Glance cover with metallic pages made by the Italian album manufacturer GraphiStudio. We have just ordered a full Swatch book from Graphi so our Wedding Couples can look at all the options available. Katie sent us the following message: ‘Hi Steve & Ruth. Just wanted to say thank you again for the beautiful wedding album. We love how the album ‘tells the tale’ of our wedding day, from start to finish. It will be treasured forever. We can’t wait to show our family and friends. Thank you’.

The photos on this Blog are of Andrea and taken at the Netherwood Hotel Grange O Sands Cumbria. Samantha and Laura from Harmony in Cartmel looked after the Hair and Make Up. After the photoshoot Andrea sent us the following text ‘Everyone loving pics they are fab. One client wants you for her wedding when she sorts it xx. Fantastic!”

With the Family photoshoot we took last weekend we delivered over 200 photographs for the family to choose from. The Mum, Nicola, commented ‘just finished watching the slide show on tv , there are some really stunning pics x’. So for now thats all we have time to update whilst I get back to processing the hundreds of images taken over the last couple of weeks.
