Merewood Country House Hotel Wedding | Jane & Nick

Ceremony & reception: Merewood Country House Hotel, Ecclerigg, Cumbria.

Second-shooting with Gav Harrison

It's always nice to get a wedding at a venue you haven't covered before and this one was a real belter. Perched on a wooded hillside, overlooking Lake Windermere, Merewood Country House Hotel is an absolutely stunning place to hold a wedding. The interior retains many original features and some beautiful furniture and plenty of large windows to make the most of the breathtaking views.

The two-and-a-half hour drive meant an early start (7:30am) and the weather looked as if it was going to be awful. The pre-shoot location recce was conducted in the pouring rain but, wouldn't you know it, the sun came out right on cue after the ceremony yet again!

Jane and Nick had already been at the Hotel for a couple of days, so they were both nice and relaxed and willing to trail around woods and along dirt tracks to get some cracking photos by the lake.

All in all, a brilliant day (even if it was very long and tiring -17 hours!), a fantastic venue with very friendly & helpful staff and a wonderful couple.

Congratulations to Jane & Nick
