Sonia and Rob

When you know that a venue has previously been a favourite of the likes of Posh ’n’ Becks and Tom ’n’ Nicole, it certainly does get you excited each time you go there to photograph a wedding. Our very own Posh 'n' Becks - Sonia & Rob certainly picked a fantastic combination of St Marys Church in Rydal and The Samling. They even managed to get permission for photographs in Wordsworth Gardens! There was a great moment when Sonia and Rob left the church just as a coach load of Japanese tourists was passing, the coach stopped and everyone on board rushed to the window to see Sonia and Rob, I think they took more pictures of the wedding in two minutes than I did all day! Everything about the day was just that little bit special and it was a privilege to be with such a lovely couple on such an important day.

The venue...



The Manmire Suite at The Samling and Sonia's killer heels!

The Church in Rydal was beautiful and perfect for this intimate ceremony.



As man and wife they were covered in confetti and then began the hike up a massive hill to the Wordsworth gardens - in those heels Sonia, well done!!



Back at The Samling we took advantage of the stunning setting. The view over the lake is fantastic, but probably even more so from the hot tub outside their honeymoon suite!!
