Today’s wedding is a dream, with an intimate ceremony on the shores of Lake Windermere. Sarah and Jason had a first look before their vows, and walked down the aisle together as a couple. With just 9 guests, this wedding is relaxed and full of love, and the gorgeous photos by Lake District wedding photographer Jaye Peg are absolutely perfect. I’m always so proud to say Jaye is a member of English Wedding – and she gets a glowing review from the happy couple, in their English Wedding interview below!

We chose Lake District wedding photographer Jaye Peg to capture our day.

Wedding photographer review

Jaye made us both feel so at ease not only on our wedding day but throughout the whole wedding planning journey. Jaye is a fantastic wedding photographer and we’re so glad we found her to capture our special day. We had a pre-wedding shoot in the Spring and the rain was constant. Nevertheless Jaye kept our spirits up and got some fantastic photographs. We are blown away with all of our wedding day photos and can’t thank Jaye enough for all of her hard work.

Your best wedding moment or memory

Our fantastic photographer JayePeg suggested a reveal before the ceremony. We’re so glad we did this and there was so much emotion during that moment. Also some fantastic photos captured!

Tell us anything you did differently – we love hearing about NEW traditions (or none at all!)

We walked down the aisle together and we knew we had to do this all along! We both thought it was a lovely idea as we’re starting a new chapter together and it’s a great way to acknowledge this. We also had a very small wedding with 9 guests. We had a lovely afternoon tea and played some board games before our evening meal. It was perfect for us and the day we had dreamt of. A big wedding was something neither of us wanted. We also had a live painter to capture our day and have lovely paintings to put up in our house.

Venue name + review

Briery Wood, Lake Windermere. Briery Wood pulled out all the stops for us. From the multiple emails and phone calls we made before our big day, nothing was too much trouble. Briery were faultless and such a friendly bunch who worked so hard for us. We can’t wait to return!

Tell us a little about your outfits – both of you!

Sarah chose a boho style wedding dress. She always knew she wanted a dress that was a little bit different to traditional ones. She fell in love with the sleeves as soon as she saw them and it was an instant yes to the dress.

Jason tried a few suits on at different shops and suppliers. Jason found a very good quality, smart navy tweed suit which he was made up with. A lovely pink tie was chosen to fit with the theme of the wedding.

Dress or suit shop name + review

Emma Louise Bridal – Bolton. Emma Louise was the first bridal shop that Sarah visited. She tried on many dresses during her first visit but the last one was the one. Chloe at Emma Louise Bridal is a superstar and truly made the experience. Emma Louise was faultless and would definitely recommend them to other brides.

Florist name + review

Brackens of Bowness. We met Brackens a few months before our big day and didn’t have a set specification. We just asked for seasonal flowers for our big day. We also asked for some little flowers to go on our dogs harnesses. Brackens pulled it out of the bag and the flowers were so beautiful. The colours were something else and we have had so many comments on them. Brackens also provided some lovely flowers to go on our table to seat 12 people and these were beautiful. We have pressed some of our flowers to cherish.

Cake maker name + review

The icing on the cake – Kendal We found Debbie on Facebook and were so impressed with her designs. We arranged to meet Debbie in a cafe a few months beforehand and she surprised us with a couple of lovely sample boxes. We were blown away by Debbie’s kindness and how talented she is. Debbie took some photos of us so she could make some sugar figurines on the cake. We were so emotional when we first saw the cake. It’s everything we ever dreamed of and perfect for our small wedding. 10/10 isn’t a high enough score for Debbie’s work. She has an amazing talent and we will be asking for more cakes in the future.

Hair + makeup name + review

Vicky Adamson Hair and Makeup. Vicky works so hard and made us feel so at ease. Vicky did both the hair and makeup for 3 people on the day and nothing was too much trouble (even though she had so much to do).

Styling and decor

Purple Swan weddings dressed our venue for our big day. It was everything we wanted and well worth paying for. Would definitely recommend Purple Swan.
