Wedding Photography Across Cumbria and Beyond
For couples who want it real: a look across the room, a hand squeeze before the ceremony, their dad trying not to cry.
I’m Anna, and I’ve been photographing weddings across Cumbria for years.
If you’re here, you’re probably starting to think about how your day will feel, and how you want it to be remembered. I’ll guide where it helps, step back when it matters most, and photograph your people, your connection, and everything in between.
Every wedding is a little different, so I keep things simple and flexible. Couples tell me afterwards that their photos showed them things they didn’t even know had happened.
I’ve photographed many beautiful weddings at Cumbrian wedding venues including Storrs Hall, Town Head Estate, Holesfoot, Hause Hall, Gilpin Lake House, Cragwood and Linthwaite House as well as celebrations across the UK and Europe.

Planning Your Wedding
Planning a wedding in Cumbria offers an incredible mix of landscapes and venues, from lakeside settings and country houses to barns and rural estates. Having a photographer with local knowledge helps everything feel relaxed and well-paced on the day.
Choosing your wedding location
Cumbria includes both well-known Lake District locations and quieter surrounding areas that offer privacy and flexibility. Whether you’re drawn to iconic scenery or a more understated setting, the right location can shape how your day feels and photographs.
Seasons and weather
Weddings in Cumbria are shaped by the seasons. Spring and summer bring longer days and softer light, while autumn offers rich colour and a calmer atmosphere. Winter weddings can feel especially intimate, though shorter daylight hours mean timelines benefit from thoughtful planning.
Venues and flexibility
Cumbria is home to a wide range of wedding venues, from relaxed, family-run spaces to more traditional settings. Understanding how different venues work allows photography to fit naturally into the flow of the day without it feeling rushed or staged.
A natural photography approach
As a Lake District wedding photographer, my approach is documentary and unobtrusive. I focus on genuine moments and connection, allowing your wedding day to unfold naturally while creating images

Wedding Photography FAQs
How much coverage do we need for our wedding?
Every wedding is different, so I keep things flexible. Some couples want just a few hours to cover a ceremony and portraits, while others prefer full-day coverage. I’m always happy to help you decide what will suit your plans best.
Do you photograph elopements and smaller weddings?
Yes, I love photographing intimate weddings and elopements in the Lake District. Smaller days often feel incredibly personal and relaxed, and I approach them in exactly the same way as larger weddings. Find out more about elopement and small wedding photography.
Can we order an album after the wedding?
Yes, many couples choose to decide after they’ve seen their photos. I can design a simple, story-led album for you so you can see how everything comes together, with no pressure to commit.
When will we get our photos?
You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within 4-5 weeks. I will send you a small selection of preview images within 48 hours too.
How many pictures will we receive?
My style is narrative and my coverage comprehensive. Your gallery will show your celebration from start to finish. The number of photographs I capture varies on season, location and individual circumstances but you can expect 30-50 images per hour of photographing.
Will you HELP US TO FEEL COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA
Absolutely. Most people feel nervous at first. I’ve worked for 15 years as a commercial and sports model so I really do understand how it feels to be in front of the camera and I know that when you feel uncomfortable you don’t get the best photographs. I really work to make you feel relaxed so you forget the camera and just enjoy the moment. Better experience and better photographs!
do you require a deposit for wedding photography?
Yes, a 30% deposit secures your date, with the remaining balance due four weeks before your wedding.
DO YOU WORK ALONE OR WITH A SECOND SHOOTER?
I depends on the couple and the wedding and this is something we can discuss, you can add a second photographer for larger weddings or multi-location days.
Do you offer engagement or pre-wedding shoots?
Yes, I love engagement sessions! They’re a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, for us to meet each other explore scenic Lake District spots. For full wedding day coverage I offer a complimentary mini engagement shoot here in the Lake District.
Will you share our photos online or on social media?
I’m proud of my work and feel joyful sharing it. However if you prefer me not to feature you on my social media or website just let me know and I’ll respect your privacy preferences completely.
What equipment do you use?
I shoot with professional full-frame cameras, multiple lenses, and backup gear to ensure nothing is left to chance. My choice of camera brand is Canon. I love natural light but I do use flash lighting when natural lighting isn’t ideal, for example evening party images or wedding speeches in a dimly lit barn venue.
