The Wedding of Amanda & Rick @ Netherwood Hotel, Grange

Amanda & Rick 's beautiful wedding took place at The Netherwood Hotel, Grange Over Sands in Cumbria. Amanda & her bridesmaids flew over from Australia to attend the wedding. The service took place at St.Peters Church, Field Broughton in Cartmel and the reception was then back at Ricks father's property - The Netherwood Hotel. Rick had requested very informal photography at his wedding with very little setup shots from us we were happy to fire away & capture the precious moments for the two love birds.

The Wedding of Alison Thorpe & Dan Needham at The Netherwood Hotel, Grange & St John's Church, Levens

I was given a brief - something a bit unusual/Rock 'n' rolla style please. Oh, I thought 'music to my ears' 
The venue was The Netherwood Hotel  The dark wood panelling was an interesting factor and the old grandfather clock. Alison made life very easy for me, she had a clear idea of what she wanted me to capture - not alot of starting into cameras all day. When a bride has her hair down I think, certainly in Alison's case is an excellent move. Her beautiful dark hair really jumps out and reminds me of fairytale stuff - i.e 'Rapunzel'. 
Sometimes it just clicks for me & this day was one of them. Both Dan & Alison were a joy to photograph and presented something unique for each photograph I took. Quiet and unassuming people tend to bring out the best in me. Photographing brash Londerners would have me in fits. I brought some ideas on the mobile, sometimes they work sometimes not, but on the whole we got a great spread of imagery natural, creative, avant garde :-) The weather was beautiful the following day was heavy rain so these guys had the fortune of the gods looking over them. These are some of my favs from Dan & Alisons wedding day. 

The Wedding of Jemma & Jack at The Netherwood Hotel, Grange Over Sands

Another beautiful wedding at The Netherwood Hotel at Grange Over Sands, nr The Lake District. A warm action packed wedding full f creative ideas and capturing the moments with splashes of colour & vibrance. These 2 were brilliant in front of camera and I guess I wasnt too bad either :-)
