Dave & Rachel's Wedding

Dave & Rachel were married at Ingleton Methodist Church and had their reception at the Grange hotel in Grange over sands.

It was my 5th wedding in 15th months at Ingleton Methodist, so Ingleton seems to be the place to be for marriages!

The ceremony was very special, with all the songs, music and words spoken.

The weather held off until the wedding breakfast was in full flow which meant we were ablt to get some great outdoor shots.

Congrats to you both!

A wedding video clip will be here soon!

Tom & Linda's Wedding

A beautiful autumnal day in the lakes was the setting for Tom & Linda's big day. The Swan Hotel at Newby bridge was the venue for a great wedding.

From the moment I got there, with a member of staff helping me carry my equipment in, to the very end, the staff at the hotel were so friendly and helpful! Thank you!

It was an honour to be there to make the wedding dvd and work alongside roger from RB Photography - What a nice guy!

A wedding video clip will appear here soon!

John & Kate's Wedding (Hawkshead)

Today's wedding was wonderful!! We won't mention the weather........ but everything else about the day was memorable!

The setting for the ceremony was Hawkshead Parish Church, a beautiful building which overlooks the village. The reception was held at the Low Wood Hotel, just outside Windermere.

The 2 best men gave an incredible speech in which they dressed up a Judges and argued the case, for and against the groom, and whether he was suitable for the bride! They also produced a film, which later was premiered in a specially made cinema, which included a red carpet and popcorn!

In the early evening, the guests boarded a boat on Lake Wndermere, and by this time, the weather had cleared up and the sun even came out! I got some stunning footage! It will be a great DVD when I've put it together!

Thanks John & Kate for putting on a great wedding Day for all your guests!

Barry & Catherine's Wedding

Today was my first time of filming a Monday wedding!
It was great to be a part of Barry & Catherine's big day, which was held at Crown Lane Free Methodist Church and then Bartle Hall near Preston.

I worked alongside a very helpful photographer, Andy, from Blackpool and we managed to get all the outside shots done before a few showers came down.

This is the fourth wedding in a row where the speeches have been before the meal, I guess those taking part can enjoy their food! It was very kind of the Bride and Groom to include me in the meal - The food was delicious!! Many thanks!

Mark & Natalie's Wedding

It's always nice fo film friend's weddings, and on Friday, I did just that!

Mark & Natalie's wedding was at Ingleton Methodist Church and then onto the Lancaster House Hotel.



It was an honour film a wedding DVD for them and so nice to have my wife there as we were both invited guests. The weather got better as the day went along, and the only showers came whilst we were in the church.



Many thanks Mark & Natalie!
