Wedding Photographers Cumbria – Schtuff photography

This was the first time we had been to Williamson Park in Lancaster for a Pre Wedding Photoshoot although we have been as ‘tourists’ in the past when our own daughters were little.  It is a great facility set in 54 acres of parkland.  The Ashton Folly, which I understand was built by the inventor of linoleum, provides a wonderful backdrop for wedding photography and there is also a butterfly house, bird enclosure and cafe.  We had met Gareth and Lorna some months earlier and as they both live near Lancaster suggested that the Park was a good place to meet up.  They are due to get married in December this year when we will be joining them for their wedding photography and Lorna is hoping for a thin layer of snow.  We will see!  In any case we are sold on the Park as a great location and we could not have asked for a better evening with the light breaking through the tree canopy.

As well as including a pre wedding shoot with all our wedding photography packages, and a Signature Board which Ruth takes round all the guests at the Wedding Reception, we also have found that many couples are now also procuring for themselves a hardbound photobook containing between 40-50 photographs from the pre wedding shoot.  If you are planning on getting married and would like Schtuff Photography as your Wedding photographers be sure to ask us what all the options are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We met Ian and Lindsay almost two years ago at the Wedding Fayre at The Inn On The Lake Ullswater, Cumbria when they booked us for their  wedding in July this year at the very same location.  So it had been a long time since we had seen them and we wondered how we would get on after all this time. We had arranged to meet up at the Hotel and then go out to various location for their Pre Wedding shoot from there. Well the good news was that we recognised each other although the first thing Lindsay told us was that they were both very camera shy. Yeah! We are sure as you look through a selection of their photographs below you will agree that they took to it like ducks to water.  Lindsay told us that they had booked us at the Fayre because they immediately felt comfortable with us and that was reciprocated by ourselves too.  We had a lovely evening together as we meandered over the hills of the Northern Lake District and now we cannot wait for the wedding.

You might also be interested in looking at our other photo-shoot this week when we were commissioned to photograph HRH Prince Charles visit to Staveley in Cumbria. We have put some of the images on our Blog at www.schtuff.co.uk.  Now we have worked as a Royal Photographer it has been suggested that we should add an extra nought to all our prices!  The good news is we have our feet on the ground and the status quo will be retained!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We met up with Michael and Katie at Tarn Hows on Saturday morning, arriving to find a beautiful sunny day, fluffy clouds and not too many tourists!  Now we have lost count of the number of Pre wedding shoots we have done and how many times we have asked our Couples to get into the water, usually with a lot of verbal encouragement that the water is really not as cold as it feels.  With Michael however no asking was required.  I put my camera bag down to get set up and as I turned around Michael was already in up to his waist, turning over rocks and gleefully showing us such delights as black leeches.  Now we know that the water was freezing cold but as we got cameras into position Katie forged in as well and proved just as game as Michael.  There were some shots I missed because I was laughing too much, my apologies guys.  But it was a real delight to photograph them both as they are so obviously into each other, big style.  The wedding is in September so we look forward to that as well.  If you would like to see more of Michael and Katies’ photoshoot go across to www.schtuff.co.uk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had two Pre Wedding Photoshoots on Saturday, one in the morning with Michael and Katie which we will blog a little later and then in the afternoon with Thomas and Tash.  As is so often the case in the Lake District the weather changed completely over the lunch time period and by the the time Thomas and Tash arrived at the agreed location the rain was coming down hard, as can be seen from some of the photographs.  We have blogged their pre wedding photoshoot first as they are due to get married in May whilst Michael and Katie follow in September.  Anyway both couples got into the swing of things very quickly and although both got very wet (for different reasons as will be seen when we blog Michael and Katie’s shoot) were very much relaxed with the whole process.
