A fantastic society wedding near Penrith, Cumbria

Lindsey and Paul celebrated their wedding in grand style one (almost) sunny Saturday in July. What an amazing event... they certainly gave all their guests a day to remember.

So let's introduce the bride first...



Funny! OK, let's try that again... here's the stunning bride:



With a gorgeous jewelled dress by Susan Dowes in the background, here's the bouquet... simple, elegant and super-stylish.



So what about the lads? OK, here they all are!



And the groom, taking a pitstop before heading into town for the ceremony.



After stopping all the traffic in Penrith with a pair of horse-driven carriages, and with the entire town out to watch, the groom and then the bride made their way into church on an extra-long red carpet.

The ceremony at St Andrews almost had my wife/assistant in tears!

And the dress looked fantastic... Paul's suit was the perfect complement.



And that was that! We made our way back out of town to shoot some photographs of the couple... I like this one: very Hollywood. :-)



And on to the reception... and the biggest marquee I've ever worked in, provided by Bakerwood Marquees.

An air display had all the guests out in the sun: a really great show!



And then the rain came down! Disturbed the flight plans for a couple of guests arriving by helicopter, but not to worry... the entertainment was great and the cocktails flowed long into the night!
