The wedding of Kathryn and Richard portfolioSaturday the 5th of December 2009 had us at the wedding of Kathryn and Richard at St Mary's Church Dalton followed by a reception at The Grange Hotel in Grange over Sands. The weather was kind to us for most of the day although we had some showers later on, this didn't spoil our fun though. We met some lovely people and captured some super photo's to remember the day by.

Thanks to you all for your hospitality, we had a great time and hope you enjoy the images we captured.

Darren, Lesley and Kai.

Kathryn & Richard Pre-Wedding Shoot portfolioWell it looked like the weather gods were against us as we set off for Furness Abbey for the pre-wedding shoot of Kathryn and Richard, driving in gale force winds and rain along flooded roads. When we got to the Abbey it was closed due to floods so we decided to get what we could from around the small ruins outsite of the main area. Obviously someone was looking out for the soon to be married couple as the rain stopped and a bit of sun even shone through the clouds for a few minutes allowing us to get some super images.

Hope you enjoy the images guys, look forward to the big event in December.

Darren.
