Louise and I go way back, having worked together in a photo shop in Ulverston 25 years ago (gosh, that ages us!). We’ve shared many laughs and good times over the years. So when she told me about Bruce, I knew they were a perfect match. When they asked me to be their Abbey House Hotel wedding photographer, I was over the moon.

The Wedding

Their wedding was a blast, with so much laughter and love in the air. It was extra special for me being back in my hometown and seeing familiar faces while capturing beautiful moments for Louise and Bruce. Louise had thought of every little detail, including getting confetti cannons for the kids to join in on the fun. One of them being Bruce’s daughter, Lily.

Bruce’s groomsmen totally surprised him during the evening reception by all getting matching “Lads, Lads, Lads” tattoos on their legs. This was to match Bruce’s real one!! The look on his face when he saw them was priceless – pure shock and then laughter all around. It was such a fun moment. Not only that, but Louise had also prepared some awesome accessories for the dance floor. She had bucket hats and foam glow sticks for everyone to wear and use while dancing the night away. The combination of the tattoos and the fun accessories made for some fantastic photos!

Being a wedding photographer and capturing such a joyful occasion for awesome friends like Louise and Bruce is truly a privilege. I can’t wait for more memorable moments like this in the future. Cheers to love, laughter, and photographing beautiful celebrations!

Jane was absolutely amazing! In the run up to our wedding, she helped us decide what we wanted and was always on hand to offer advice or answer questions. Even ensuring we could get the full day coverage after we changed our minds at the last minute. On the day, she was brilliant, moving around different rooms and locations to make sure we got everything we wanted…. But doing it in a way where you don’t even know she is there half the time. She goes above and beyond to get the perfect shots and the final images are beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for more and they really do help us relive the day. Something that is so important as it goes so fast. The way she captured us, our family and friends is just unreal and we couldn’t be happier. The only problem will be choosing which ones we want to print!

Thank you, Louise and Bruce xx

I absolutely love the Lake District. Actually, I was born and raised in Ulverston, so I love an excuse to get back to Cumbria Whether it be to visit friends and family, a walk in the mountains or to shoot a wedding. When Georgia reached out to me to see if I was available to be their The Inn on the Lake wedding photographer, I jumped on the chance! It had actually been on my wish list for quite some time and it did not disappoint!

Georgia & Nick

Like me, they live in Lancashire but have a soft spot for the Lake District. Georgia’s family actually live next door to my mother in law. We didn’t made the link at first, but what a small world!

The Wedding

Like I said, The Inn on the Lake didn’t disappoint. It is a beautiful venue on the side of Ullswater. I first met with Georgia and the girls for bridal preparations. Even the bridal suite was amazing! It is a decent size and has a massive window which is not only amazing for natural light in to the room (and helping with photographs), but it also looked over the glorious gardens and had an amazing view of the lake. Georgia is a hairdresser and had opted to do her own hair and her bridesmaids.

Georgia & Nick exchanged vows in an outdoor wedding ceremony which overlooked the lake. The natural beauty surrounding us made for some truly magical photographs. The venue’s charming architecture and lush gardens added an extra layer of elegance to the occasion. Every detail was carefully thought out, creating a perfect ambiance for this unforgettable day.

I was keen to use the lake as much as possible for a beautiful backdrop in their couples portraits. I took a particular shot and Georgia & Nick laughed at me! This was because I got over excited about how amazing it was. It can be seen at the top of this page. Even though I have been shooting weddings for almost 8 years, I still get giddy and can be seen doing a happy dance.

We are absolutely in love with our photos! Jane made the day feel so relaxed. She listened to what we liked and captured the most beautiful photos of our family and friends. There is so much going on your wedding day. Jane just made it feel like it was one less thing to think about. She just became one of the guests and made me and Nick feel really comfortable as we aren’t ones to pose in front of a camera.
Thank you so much Jane. I wish we could just do the day all over again!

Like Henry, I am also originally from Cumbria. I absolutely love being a Lake District wedding photographer! It holds a special place in my heart. I spent loads of time exploring with friends and family. Whenever I am given the opportunity to go back, I am all over it! So, When Lauren & Henry made contact and asked me if I could shoot their Easter wedding at Braithwaite, Keswick, I jumped at the chance.

About Lauren & Henry

Lauren & Henry met at the back end of 2020. Remember that awful year? Luckily, That year turned out to be a good year for them! Anyway, they met when Henry went to drop something off for Lauren’s housemate. They both knew from the second they first met that they wanted to be with each other. But….. they didn’t admit it to each other until lockdown 2.0 and went on their first date. 8 months later, they went on a trip to the Lake District. Henry arranged a sunset picnic which overlooked Derwent Water and that is where he proposed. How magical is that?

Their Lake District Wedding

Lauren & Henry Chose to get married at Braithwaite Institute. The reason they chose this lovely little village hall is because when Henry was growing up, he attended at youth camp there every summer. Henry says this is where he found God and himself. Now, I say village hall, it’s not as you are picturing in your head. Lauren & Henry got some help from DTL Marquee Hire to totally transform the room. Along with that, their friends and family went to town on decoration. It looked amazing!

Both Lauren & Henry have strong Christian beliefs and wanted an extra special wedding. They chose to have a registry office wedding in the days running up to their day. That way, Henry’s Dad was able to do a blessing on their actual wedding day which fell on Easter weekend. They also have a church band perform during the ceremony. Absolutely everyone loved it and the room came alive!

After the wedding ceremony, we took a quick drive back to Derwentwater Hotel for couples portraits on the edge of Derwent Water itself. I mean, you can’t get married by a Lake in the Lake District and not take full advantage! It was so much fun!

Lauren & Henry are an amazing couple and I can’t wait to see where their future takes them.

Lots of love,

Jane xx
