If you’re looking for a little joy in the world today, we have it for you. A quiet elopement in Devon, set in a 20th century mansion which offers intimate weddings for 2 as well as celebrations for over a hundred guests. Lucy and Lewis chose to elope, as they have two young children and in Lucy’s words, “we wanted to be in the moment and enjoy it together.” The beautiful images prove they did just that. They celebrated three weeks later with friends and family with a wedding in Plymouth – but it’s their elopement story we’re sharing on English Wedding today.
A lovely little wedding from Cragwood hotel in the Lakes, sent in by the amazing Hannah Hall Photography. Megan and Natalie are gorgeous, and their day is full of personality and love. The little details are perfect: the wedding rings and stationery are understated and elegant. And the location blows me away. What a stunning spot to get wed, on the shores of lake Windermere. Keep reading for heartfelt supplier reviews from the happy couple – not least for Lake District photographer Hannah Hall, who I’m delighted to say is a member of English Wedding.

Based on internet searches, elopements are still really popular with UK couples. I’m thrilled that this ‘trend’ continues: it’s a gorgeous and creative way to begin your marriage with a big adventure!
According to a survey by Ginger Ray:
A third of British couples (32%) highlighted financial reasons for eloping
77% of those planning to elope are opting to tie the knot within the UK, not abroad
Wales ranked as the top choice for a UK elopement
A wonderfully intimate elopement for a very pregnant bride and groom! This is more than perfect, and has me falling head over heels in love with the idea of a UK elopement. Zoe and Freddie are fab, and chose to do things differently by heading to Cornwall, just the two of them and our lovely friend Hannah Timm Photography. It makes for the sweetest story, and their photos are wonderful. Enjoy!
