Alexandra & Scott // The Lake District Elopement Wedding
As far as Covid weddings go this has to be one of the most beautiful.
Alexandra & Scott decided to elope to the Lake District to tie the knot with very limited guests; they only had 4 family members (and one on the way) to witness their vows.
Their epic elopement love story began in one of my favourite little town's in the Lakes Penrith, before heading over to the picturesque Ullswater where we got some beautiful shots by the lake. Of course it didn’t take long before it started to rain though & we got soaked, but it added to the adventure & atmosphere of the day.

Marbury Park Cheshire Engagement Shoot - Shaun & Rebecca
After the meal Rebecca & her family left the pub & she went back up north the day after and didn't see or hear from Shaun after that, until a month later Rebecca's mum bumped into him and she got his number and they got in contact and it went from there.
Since then they have been inseparable & have had a boy together they have some exciting times ahead with another baby on the way and get married at the Cottons Hotel & Spa in Knutsford in March next year.
Rebecca & Shaun brought Rhys along with them on the shoot which was the perfect opportunity for me to also get some shots of them as a family as well as them as a couple.
I got to know Rebecca & Shaun as we walked round Marbury Park in Cheshire chatting about how they met and their plans for their forth coming wedding. certainly can't wait to photograph their wedding next spring.
Delamere Forest Cheshire Engagement Shoot - Danny & Kimberley
Living in Cheshire there are so many stunning places on our doorstep to go walking and explore the great outdoors.
Just driving through the forest fills me with excitement not every day is the same during the ever changing seasons.
Delamere Forest is definitely one of my favourite places to walk especially this time of year. I love the colours of autumn, the golds, reds and the browns. I love the sound of the carpeted leaves crunching beneath my feet as I walk through the forest.The scents of the forest and the smells of the freshly logged trees on the side of the path just blow me away.
There is nothing I love more than putting my walking boots on, getting wrapped up and going for a stroll with my two dogs. This place is perfect for a family or couple portrait shoot.
I arranged to meet Danny & Kimberley at Delamere Forest in Cheshire, we couldn't of chosen a more perfect day to meet. The lighting was perfect it was warm and the light rays were penetrating through the tree canopies.
Danny met Kimberley at a wedding over nine years ago now and for their eighth year anniversary he decided to take Kimberley for a romantic getaway in York.
Danny planned to propose to Kimberley with precise precision and whisked her off to Clifford's Tower while spending time in York.
Clifford's Tower dates back to the 11th century and was constructed by William the Conqueror as a statement and to show his power in the region. It has stood the test of time and has a dark history, but for many people this is the perfect place to propose to their partners as it boasts stunning views of York and you can see for miles around it's surrounding areas.
Danny took Kimberley for a walk around at night time and dropped to his knee on the steps of Clifford's Tower to Kimberley's surprise and pulled out a ring. Of course she said yes and the rest is history.
We had a laugh walking round the forest as I suggested they throw leaves at each other and cuddle up in a little twig built tepee's.
Their smiles filled the air as they laughed and started coming out of their shells as they started to have fun.
It was a relaxed morning as we walked through Delamere and I got to know them, it felt like I had known them both for years. There were plenty of families walking around to and plenty of dogs dashing past chasing their noses.
As the morning shoot came to an end they jumped in their car and headed off to Blackpool for a fun filled candyfloss afternoon and of course to see the famous Blackpool illuminations.
