  • Welcome to the blog for Katy Lunsford Photography. You're probably here because you're getting married, love weddings, love photography, or all of the above. That's good, because they are my favourite things too - especially if you add gorgeous and vintage to the mix. I hope you'll stay a while, have a look around and feel free to comment or two :) If you’re a bride-to-be (or groom-to-be!), and you like what you see, let’s get together sometime for a glass of wine to chat a little more…

Yasmin & Andalib | Post-Wedding Shoot Part 1, Arley Hall

Yasmin and Andalib had a gorgeous winter wedding at Arley Hall last year, and lovely as that was (and it really was) Yasmin was a tiny bit sad not to have had a summer wedding. So on one of the hottest days of the year, they got dressed back up in their wedding clothes and we spent a fab afternoon taking summery wedding photos in the beautiful gardens of Arley Hall and beyond. Yasmin looked completely gorgeous in her tiered lace vintage dress and Andalib was a very handsome groom indeed in his tweed suit. There were so many lovely pictures I am going to blog the shoot in 3 parts. So here is part 1, in the gardens of Arley Hall…

Wendy & Damion | Pretty Vintage-inspired Lancashire Wedding

Wendy and Damion are two of the loveliest people you could hope to meet. Last January we spent a wonderful weekend in Venice getting to know each other and shooting their engagement session; a weekend we will remember fondly for a long time. Wendy & Damion are actually aspiring wedding photographers themselves, so it was an enormous honour to be their wedding photographer – and I was extra happy (relieved!) that they loved their photos!

The wedding took place on a windy hill in Lancashire, at the Alma Inn – a cosy country pub/hotel with great food, roaring fires, spectacular views, and walls painted just the right colour to compliment the muted tones of the pretty vintage scheme :) Wendy styled the wedding to perfection, sourcing pretty things and hand-making details, with a little help from some of the best suppliers in the industry. The florally fabulous team at Flower Design created a breathtaking display – from the decorated beam in the ceremony/reception room, to the gorgeous birdcages, not to mention the buttonhole/corsage provided for every single guest! Stationery was by the super-talented Lucy Ledger Designs, definitely some of the prettiest I have seen this year. The lovely Catherine from Ivy Clara worked her magic twisting and curling Wendy’s hair to perfection, and I just adored the soft, pretty style she created.

Wendy looked absolutely stunning in her Sottero & Midgley lace gown, cathedral veil and adorable vintage-inspired Emmy shoes and Damion was quite the dapper groom in Ted Baker… especially when they both donned wellies and headed into the fields for their fine art couple portraits ;) This was definitely one of those weddings where we felt like (hard-working!) honoured guests… there were tears in the ceremony and laughter in the speeches – especially when Damion handed Wendy her certificate for attending the training course he was leading where they met… with the added line: ‘warning – attendance on this course may result in you marrying the trainer’. I love hearing the stories of how people met and fell in love – and these two were definitely made for each other :) We smiled all the way home, and for a good few days afterwards. Here are the photos:

 

A truly wonderful day for a truly wonderful couple :) Wendy, & Damion, thanks so much for having us, (and feeding us, mmmm!) we loved your wedding! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness together!
