October 2025

Autumn comes with colour, stunning skies, changeable weather - but in my case - epic weddings!! Take a look at these !

New House Farm. Cockermouth

I had been desperate to get back to this venue for a while. So, it was a welcome return. It is stunning - and you are so well looked after here.

However, the icing on the cake was when the couple suggested we visit Crummock Water for some photos. I almost ran there...

Double icing on that cake - a walk up the hill to see the sunset. Incredible.

This was the best day, with the absolute wow factor in photos. Victoria & Steve - thank you !

The River Barn. Poulton-Le-Fylde

I'd met Alice & Josh a few years ago when they were bridesmaid / groomsmen at another wedding, and another wedding, and another wedding...so it was an absolute pleasure to catch up with them and all their friends and family again for thier amazing day at The River Barn.

We dodged a few spots of rain - but nothing dampened the superb day that we had.

Always a brilliant day with this crowd...
