Many thanks to Simon Hudspeth Photography, who submitted these gorgeous wedding images for my first blog feature. I hope you’ll agree they are great photos which really capture the spirit of this wedding, in the beautiful English Lake District.
The wedding car arrives via a typical quiet lakeland road, past traditional pubs with hanging baskets and on to the church, where Kathryn joins Thomas at the altar for the marriage ceremony. The church is St Mary’s in Kirkby Lonsdale, a lovely church which dates from Norman times.
The reception was held at Cragwood Country House Hotel, one of the most magnificent venues in the whole of the English Lake District. Located just two miles from Windermere, the hotel is set in 20 acres of secluded gardens and woodland, with views of spectacular lakeland fells.
The colour scheme for this classic English wedding was kept pure and simple, and the end result is just fabulous. The bridal bouquet of white roses, the wedding cake and table decorations are stylish and elegant.
As well as capturing the delicate details of your wedding day, Simon and his wife and co-photographer Alison take great care to use your wedding location to its full potential. These beautiful shots were taken at Cragwood House Hotel and on the shores of the tranquil Lake Windermere.

With my thanks to both Simon and Alison for submitting these lovely photographs, taken in October this year.
