With a full week of rain, it wasn’t looking hopeful for Charlotte & Ant’s The Ryebeck Windermere wedding, but on the day we had the most incredible sunshine.

Located in the Lake District, this elegant country house had beautiful views of Lake Windermere and I couldn’t wait for some portraits of these two later in the day overlooking the lake.

Golden hour portraits overlooking the lake

Charlotte looked incredible in her silk dress with lace train detail. She wore satin and embellished heels with gypsophila and a simple veil to complete her look. Her dad was all smiles and got a little emotional when he saw her for the first time.

We were spoilt for choice for locations for portraits as the grounds at the Ryebeck had lots to offer. As the sun began to set, I snuck the couple away for some photos with the views of the lake in the distance. It was such a special moment watching the sun going down as they finished a glass of fizz together.
