BELSFIELD HOTEL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

LAKE WINDERMERE, LAKE DISTRICT

“Thank you so much for our wedding photographs….they are bloody marvellous! We absolutely LOVE them!” The Granthams

Paul and Katherine were guests at a wedding I photographed a couple of years earlier and had liked my style of wedding photography so they booked me to photograph their Belsfield Hotel wedding day too. I live about ten minutes drive from the hotel so I know it very well and have photographed weddings at The Belsfield a few times. It has the most incredible views right over Lake Windermere and over to the Langdales. The sun was shining and it was a bright blue-sky day, I think it was the first really hot day we had had so far. Kevin from Brackens of Bowness did such an amazing job with the floral displays and bridesmaids bouquets, the ceremony and reception room looked incredible. Both Kath and Paul were getting ready here so it was great to get preparation photographs from both sides during the morning. Bruce from Love Two Film was with me all day too capturing the day on video with his gentle, unobtrusive style. Polly Winder did the girl’s make-up and Aqua Salon in Bowness came to the hotel to do hair.

Paul and Katherine are really good fun and don’t take themselves seriously at all. The day was filled with laughter, funny faces, paper hats, masks, a badly behaved veil, and the most awesome sunset cruise on Lake Windermere hosted by Windermere Lake Cruises. Gary Mills did his usual epic party DJ set and had everyone dancing from the start.
