I know I’ve said it before but I’m convinced there’s something extra to an indoor wedding. Sure, it’s fantastic to stand outside on a summer’s day with a drink in your hand admiring the scenery. But if your wedding is covered by cloud or, like Stephanie & David’s in January, planned from the beginning to be an evening celebration, then have no fear. Your guests will make sure you enjoy it to the full anyway.
Rainy-day weddings often bring out the fun side of people even more than if they were stood outside on the lawn on a hot sunny day – there’s a determination to have a good time. Or is it just because it’s a wedding?
I reckon Claire & David’s family and friends were going to have a good time whatever, and I have to say produced the funniest Best Man’s speech of 2009.
“Thank you for the wonderful pictures you took on our wedding day. We had the best day ever, and the photos have captured all the fun and bring back memories. Happy New Year to you.”

Many of my wedding clients are visitors to the area, but Sonja & James are local. Which meant that lots of other local people were there. I’ll confess to being more nervous than usual about the weather – as there were 100+ people squeezed into the Merewood Country House Hotel, between Windermere and Ambleside. If it had rained all day, it would have been a little more ‘intimate’ inside. But we were so lucky…

October weddings are a gamble – you hope they’ll be ‘autumnal’, but you know the weather could be rubbish. And in the morning it was. Wind, rain, cold, the lot.
But as I spent an hour or so with Sophie and her hair and make-up team, it got brighter and drier outside. By the time the ceremony was over, we even managed a walk by the river. OK, it was a tad nippy and the wind was whipping around, but that’s ‘autumnal’.
A few weeks later I got a card from Andy & Sophie,
“Thank your for the wonderful job on our wedding day. You made the day much easier by being so chilled out’

I once overheard a wedding guest say, “You can feel your blood pressure drop when you come up here.” At the time we were on a boat on Coniston Water, but whichever lake you choose, it’s got to be a good way to spend the afternoon or evening.
So, after a ceremony and meal at the Langdale Chase on Windermere, Helen & Andy took their guests out on ‘Silverholme’ for an hour or so.
