Inn On The Lake Wedding | Debbie & David

Ceremony & Reception: The Inn On The Lake, Glenridding, Ullswater, Cumbria

Second-shooting with Gav Harrison

What a stunning wedding venue! The Inn On The Lake sits, as the name suggests, right on the edge of Ullswater and is completely surrounded by mountains. Everywhere you turn there are beautiful backdrops for photographs - I felt like a kid in a sweet shop! To make things even better, the daffodils were in full bloom and the sun shone all day. It doesn't get better than this!

We arrived early to have a wander round and earmark a few potential areas for photos, then Gav went off to photograph Debbie & the girls getting ready, while I took David & the boys off for some nice relaxed shots by the lake. I was so pleased for Debbie & David that the weather was amazing. I could just imagine what it must be like to choose such an incredible venue and then find that it's thick fog or pouring rain on the big day (remember this is March in the Lake District!). As it was we had free reign to go wherever we wanted and we ended up with loads of cracking photos. Neither Debbie nor David stopped smiling all day, and I can't say I blame them!

In the evening, a magician kept everyone entertained and just before the hog roast supper (just when you thought it couldn't get any better!), everyone went outside and released chinese lanterns (most of which ended up in a nearby tree, but we won't mention that!)

It was a very long day (17 hours!) but it went by in a flash. You can't call this work, what a fantastic day!

Congratulations to Debbie & David and thanks for letting me share their special day.
