Preparation before a wedding - is crucial. And I always like to be ready for any eventuality - particularly the weather. For a Lake District wedding in Spring - the weather can do anything, and sometimes, everything… That's what I reminded myself before heading to Ullswater for Emma & Chris' wedding at the Inn on the Lake, Glenridding. I was prepared for all weather conditions… and that was pretty much what we got…sun, wind, rain, more sun (with an amazing rainbow), then rain, hail, and even a dusting of snow on the hills, ending thankfully with another glorious burst of sun!
This was a wonderful wedding - with so much to photograph, the drama of the weather plus the setting at the Inn on the Lake, Glenridding and such a lovely couple… I hope I did the day justice.
Congratulations Emma and Chris - here are my selected highlights from your day.
Despite so much happening the atmosphere was really relaxed and the weather was almost unreal, and although challenging - made for some spectacular Inn on the Lake wedding photographs which I'm really proud of.
The Inn on the Lake at Glenridding was a new location for wedding photography for me and as soon as I saw it with Emma and Chris - a week before their wedding I was smitten by what a beautiful setting it was - there's so much scope for Lake District wedding photography in such a small area.
I joined Emma and the girls early in the day for their preparations - and I found a room full of energy and fun and was thoroughly spoiled for lovely preparation photographs - Chris and his ushers arrived at midday, impeccably turned out - and the stage was set for an fantastic day.
I found it really amazing (and very lovely) that despite the huge number of things going on Emma and Chris remained so relaxed - which really reflected their good nature and lovely personalities. It was such a great day, and you were such a huge pleasure to photograph - thanks so much guys.
