I don’t get to do wedding photography at The Forest Side Grasmere very often, as they only do a select few each year, so any chance I do have to get there is a real treat!

I absolutely loved spending the day with Natalie and Dualtagh and their closest friends and family. They were the perfect clients – having selected some of my favourite local suppliers they were clear in brief but gave everyone the freedom to creatively interpret it, with perfect results. If I could leave them a review it would definitely be 5 stars!

I am not going to lie that it was also a massive Billy Bonus to get to eat the six Michelin starred courses I photographed! Even more amazingly they whole wedding was vegetarian! What a perfect Lakeland wedding day for a really lovely couple and no better way to end it than dancing the night away to the tunes of DJ Gary Mills – he’s a legend! You won’t find a wedding DJ that works harder to please his couples. I always seem to stay longer and get the best dancefloor shots when we work together!

Congratulations Dualtagh and Natalie, thanks for having me, I loved it all – the hilarious speeches, your gorgeous dogs, wandering around the kitchen garden in the drizzle, and of course the wall to wall amazing food!
