Wedding Photographer Waterton Park Hotel | Alice & Chris's Wedding

Our second visit as Waterton Park wedding photographers in only a few days, this time for Alice and Chris who at our first meeting fell in love with our work and immediately decided that we were the ones to capture their celebrations. Make-up and hair styling were in full swing when we arrived for the morning's preparations in the venue's bridal suite and it was the first time we got to see Alice's spectacular and very unusual dress that we'd heard so much about. We kept a very nervous groom busy outside having photos with his best man and then went back to check in with Alice during her final preparations before the ceremony in the Walton Suite, where emotions got the better of Chris and Alice just laughed her head off. Pauline, the wedding coordinator, helped persuade everyone away from the cosy Lakeside room and outside for a big group photo, and we stayed out with the couple to make sure we got some lovely Waterton Park wedding photographs showing off this gorgeous venue, whilst sticking to the pathways, as it was very wet underfoot, but it would be wrong to complain about the weather we've had for our December weddings, as it's been unusually mild, which has made our brides much more willing to be outside for their photographs. We always laugh at grooms when they complain that they're cold, whilst wearing several layers of clothes and standing next to their bride who has bare shoulders and arms 😀 but Chris was happy just to be with Alice and let us get as many photos as possible. We worked in the library during the family group session and having somewhere available to photograph indoors this is one of the important things to consider when looking for a great wedding venue, as it's vital to have an attractive space in which to work if the weather isn't great. Once warmed up, the new Mr and Mrs Grant were ready for the last photographs outside, with their bridal party, followed by the snow machine, before we headed upstairs to capture the details in their Christmas themed wedding breakfast room. Our couples love our twilight shots but now that perfect time is coinciding with the meal being served. However, Alice and Chris were determined these pictures weren't to be missed and took a ten minute break to come outside to let us get some gorgeous photos. Our very best wishes for a future full of happiness, our grateful thanks for booking us and for the wonderful card and gifts you brought for us!

Wedding Photographer Waterton Park | Katie & Gareth's Wedding

It was wonderful to continue our winter wedding season with the gorgeous Katie and Gareth's wedding photography at Waterton Park Hotel where we always enjoy working. We are recommend photographers at some of the best venues in our area and it gives us an immense sense of pride and achievement to know that our hard work has paid off. Waterton Park is one of those beautiful venues and we are delighted to consider members of staff as friends who always greet us warmly. Back to Katie and Gareth who are some of the loveliest people you could wish to meet.  Katie got ready in a room right next to the ceremony room, which was good for two reasons - she avoided having to walk to the ceremony in the rain which had reared its ugly head for the second wedding in a row, and it was difficult to be late as she didn't have far to travel! Seriously, we spent a very enjoyable time photographing some beautiful details, including an impressive pair of killer heels, and we got to capture hair twirling and make-up being applied before we started the second chapter of the day, Gareth and the boys. The ceremony took place in the Walton Suite and straight afterwards, with the invaluable help of Pauline, the wedding coordinator, we got everyone to leave the hotel and follow the couple across the bridge to pelt them with confetti, followed by the big group photo on the cobbled path. As we were treated to an interesting mix of drizzle, wind and low, blinding sunshine, we decided the best bet was to keep everyone warm and happy in the library for group photos before Katie and Gareth braved the weather and headed outside so that we could make the most of the beautiful locations a Waterton Park wedding photographer has to work with. Daylight's at a premium at this time of year; there's no catching up later, so we had to work fast to get as much as possible in the can before it was time to get pictures of the wedding breakfast room, table details and cake. Katie was a stunner in that fabulous dress of hers and we were so happy to get the chance to take some bridal and couple portraits indoors featuring the rich, red unholstered chairs and the Christmas tree in the reception area before everyone headed downstairs into the Boat House for the evening celebrations. Mr and Mrs Lee, thank you for giving us the pleasure of sharing your amazing wedding day. Huge congratulations and our very best wishes for the future!

Sharing on social media is great and we would love you to do that but please keep our details on the images. Thanks a million!
