An intimate wedding in the perfect setting today, as I write this blog from a damp and autumnal Lake District. The backdrop for Lois and Marcus’s day was beautiful: soft light on fading bracken and a relaxed ceremony by the shore of a private lake. Images are by Mark Battista Photography who gets a glowing recommendation from our gorgeous newlyweds!

Wedding photographer review

We had such a great experience with Mark!

He instantly made us feel at ease – really chilled, funny and easy to get along with, which made the whole shoot so relaxed.

On top of that, his photos are amazing. He captured everything beautifully without it ever feeling forced.

Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a Lake District wedding photographer who’s both professional and a joy to be around.

Venue name + review

The Gilpin lake house

The Gilpin was everything we could have hoped for and more.

The setting is absolutely beautiful, with the Lake House overlooking its own private lake – so peaceful and special.

The staff were amazing, so attentive and friendly, and they really made us feel looked after.

The food and service were faultless from start to finish.

Honestly, it was the perfect venue!

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

The bride wore a beautiful ivory dress, while the groom looked smart in a blue suit, matching the style of our guests.

Our flower girl looked adorable in her own elegant dress, which tied everything together perfectly.
