Wedding Photographers Lake District at Brantwood Coniston Cumbria

Wedding Photographers Lake District were at Brantwood in Coniston last week for the Wedding of Philipp and Kyeema.  This was a real destination wedding but with Cumbria being the destination.  The Bride flew in from Canada, the Groom came from Germany, the Brides Mother travelled over from Australia and guests came from far flung places including Greece.  Brantwood is a lovely location for a small intimate wedding and all the participants were able to find very local accommodation at Bank Ground Farm.  The reception was held in the adjacent Jumping Jenny Restaurant which also has an excellent reputation.  It was a real thrill for Wedding Photographers Lake District to be there because Philipp and Kyeema had chosen us after trawling through all the wedding photographers in Cumbria on the internet.  This was the most unusual wedding we guess we are likely to carry out as it was one of four that the Couple are holding around the World.

This year we have noticed more than ever that many Couple’s are on quite tight budgets for all the services they need and want for their wedding day.  In response to this we have launched a second wedding package that Couple’s in this situation can take advantage of.  Many of the low cost packages on offer are from part time or amateur photographers, many of whom may not even be insured. If you do not want to risk your once in a lifetime wedding photographs in this way then ask us about our new package.  This wedding of Philipp and Kyeema was the first time we have offered such a package and they were very grateful to have full time professional photographers to capture their day for them.  We will be with you for all the key moments and as an example at this wedding Philipp and Kyeema have over 200 images to choose from.  For more details contact us through the website or call Steve on 07768 864622.

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 Engagement Photoshoot with Paul & Stephanie

Wedding Photographers Lake District were out with Paul and Stephanie on Sunday for their Pre Wedding photoshoot at Waterhead.  We also had a little addition to the group in the form of Louisa so she just had to be in some of the photographs as well!  Wedding Photographers Lake District will be with Paul & Stephanie when they get married this summer at St Barnabas Church.  Then it will be on for the reception at The Midland Hotel in Morecambe.  We are all hoping there will be a stunning sunset as you can step right out of the back of the hotel onto the beach.  As you will see in the photographs the weather was rather dismal when we went to Waterhead.  Despite that however Paul and Stephanie were in great spirits and we all left feeling very happy with the afternoon.

Why bother with a Pre Wedding or Engagement photoshoot?  If you were able to ask that question of all those we have taken on this type of shoot I know you would get a very positive response.  First and foremost we make sure it is fun. If you are ‘camera shy’ it gives us time, before the wedding day, to allow you to be comfortable and at ease.  We can coach you how to achieve those really stunning intimate images on the wedding day. We all get to know one another a lot better of course and this really helps on the wedding day. It builds confidence in both parties.  On the wedding day itself no other supplier is with you as long as we are so it is important we can all interact with one another well.  You also get to choose one of the photographs for your Signature Frame. My wife Ruth takes this round all of your Guests at the wedding and we get them to sign it and leave goodwill messages.  These are just a few of the reasons why it is a good idea!  As award winning photographers Wedding Photographers Lake District will ensure you are delighted with the whole experience.  Last year we were nominated as Photographer of the Year 2012 by the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers.  This year we would like to work with you to produce the images that win it!

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.  Our 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.

If you would like to see more of our work other than Weddings please go to our other website at www.schtuff.co.uk.  This includes Portraiture, Lifestyle and Model Portfolios.

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.  If you are interested in seeing more general photography from Schtuff then click on this link to www.schtuff.co.uk where you can see Portraiture, Lifestyle and Model Portfolio photography.
