Thomas Beecham's Wedding Photography Blog
I believe in love. In a world where things can be really tough, we need love. Love to help us through, hold us together, lift us up and sometimes carry us along. Love makes us happy and strong and a wedding where the love flows freely is the best wedding in the world. This was the wedding of Angharad and John, full of love from start to finish between sisters, parents, families and friends…
Abi and Dan had their Winter wedding at St Bartholomew’s Church in Barbon, Cumbria and moved on to The Plough at Lupton, Lancashire for their reception. It was a beautiful wedding in such beautiful locations.
Really lovely! So many happy moments for them to relive 
I love clocks and that house has a lot of clocks! Looked like crazy fun when the laser light show came on!
The wedding looked like there was so much fun. I just love the candid moments you caught of the whole day, especially the reception.
Good to see you getting close to the action! It’s as though I were there! Top work Thomas.
These are all so great. The image of the little girls fixing the bride’s dress is absolutely stunning!
What an incredible location! You’ve captured the story beautifully.
These are absolutely wonderful! The location is gorgeous and the ‘cheese cake’ made me smile! Very well-done!
stunning work. lighting is amazing. kudos
the dance shots are awesome!!
great work..love the image of the little boy dancing
You really captured their day and told their story beautifully! Gorgeous work!
I met up with Angharad and John in the lovely little town of Berkhamsted before we travelled to nearby autumnal woods and a large common on the Ashridge Estate. Having photographed them as guests at a previous wedding, it was really nice to meet them properly and have a chat about their up and coming wedding plans. I’m really looking forward to what promises to be a beautiful and fun wedding at the gorgeous Tudor Barn in Buckinghamshire next year!
I really like the silhouette shots and the ones with the colors in the clouds. I also love their laughter and joy you’ve captured!
Love that last shot! They look so happy!
Nice stuff! That’s some crazy cloud action going on there! Well done!
Those final cloud frames blew my mind. Absolutely inspiring work.
Lovely stuff – great autumnal colours (and weather!!)
Just lovely! I especially adore the sunset shots.
Great use of colours and tones! Amazing Work!
Great shots. Love the last shot.
Just magical. You can really feel the love, congrats!
wow that last shot is killer!
Loving the silhouettes especially, but great set all round!
The last photo is amazing, i love it.
Amazing set, but my word that last one is a masterpiece!
great E-session… awesome photos
What a lovely E-Session! and that Sky during sunset was just stunning! Great day to go out!
Love the evening light. Really cute couple looking all loved up, lovely set of images.
The wedding of Rachel and Sandy was a fabulous occasion. Guests converged from the far reaches of Scotland, Wales, England and Australia to North Lancashire and the Lake District to see two lovely families formally united. Rachel’s preparations took place at the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal where we would return later for the reception….
Absolutely beautiful photography and a gorgeous wedding day. Rachel and Sandy both look fantastic and it’s wonderful to see guests having such a great day – some breathtaking images here.
Love those sunset shots, really beautiful photography!
These are wonderful. I love those shots on the dance floor!
Fantastic photos. Love that first black and white dance shot. Great stuff.
she is beautiful… awesome coverage, I love your reception photos
Great dance floor shots, and I love the one with a guest hanging out of the window!
Very well covered, I like your approach. Well done.
Checking in from across the world here in Hawaii, I’d like to say what a treat it was to see a wedding in a totally different culture. So colorful and fun!
Everyone looked like they were having so much fun!
What a lovely wedding. Great job on capturing so many moments.
Kilts! A beautiful bride! Great ceremony shots! You did great work here!
SO fun. Kilts and old cars, you captured it all well. What a great story!
Gorgeous, gorgeous documentation of this beautiful wedding!
I love the bride and groom portrait in the arch with all the greenery… amazing! Awesome photos of what looks like such a great day!
Your reception shots are killer! The whole wedding looked like it was so much fun! Great work!
Awesome photos. What a lovely bride!
Great coverage, Thomas. The church entrance shots are wicked.
Great work, loving those portrait shots
great wedding, fab evening shots especially
So that is what Scotsmen keep in their sporrans, biscuits! Really nice coverage all the way through, but especially like the kiss in the church alcove/doorway.
Great coverage! Lovely portraits – looks like a good party too!
This is a lovely wedding, so much great coverage and the bride is a stunner!
Wow, fantastic from start to finish!!!
A job well done. Great storytelling, I bet the couple and their family loved every single photo.
Aaargh! The day we had arranged for Rachel and Sandy’s pre-wedding shoot was sandwiched between two lovely sunny days. Even that morning was clear and bright. But Rachel and Sandy were up from Liverpool and you can’t let a bit of a downpour hold you back in the Lake District, so we carried on regardless! And thankfully we did because the love they share is clearly evident whatever the weather. Looking forward to their wedding when they’ll be married at Bolton-le-Sands and celebrating at the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal later on this year!
These are great! It clearly doesn’t matter what the weather throws at you when you know what you’re doing. Great job, especially love the last 6 or so
Thanks Jo!
Love these Thomas, especially the ones on the fallen tree!
Beautiful Thomas. Love the locations, particularly the blue shed!
What a couple of troopers!! It’s such a magical session.
they are a seriously sweet couple. lovely fun set of portraits.
Despite the weather, you made this session feel so warm. Awesome set of images!
The location is really beautiful! The first photo is so sweet and I love that one where they stand on a tree trunk.
great images. those black and white’s in the bushes are awesome.
Wow – the rain seems to have worked in your favor quite a bit – those photos are gorgeous.
seriously with those pink flowers?! stunning!
These are amazing. Beautiful captures, despite the weather!
Love them, really love the depth of the colours… looking forward to the wedding shots
Becci and Josh are such an easy going and all round happy couple, it was a delight to spend time with them. They explained to me their affinity with the Northumberland coast having spent some meaningful time together there in the past, so what better place to choose as a location for their wedding portraits.
These are just lovely, such a beautiful couple and what a stunning view. I think the second to last in the field is my favorite.
I love the location and these two look so sweet! Great work!
What a fun-loving couple! You’ve got many amazing shots here. Wonderful use of the tall grasses.
oh wow, all of the shots between the tall grass on both sides are AMAZING!
Really great session… Such a sweet couple.
Killer locations, super sweet session.
Nice set. You used the locale(s) and lighting to perfection.
Love this part of the world, and you’ve definitely done it justice
Beautiful photos and an adorable couple! The light is perfect!
Beautiful portraits, lovely light, especially like the ones on the beach
Love your style! beautiful!
Superb use of the location, beautiful and creative, I love the shots in the long grass
Absolutely beautiful work, you did a great job!
Hannah and Darren had a brilliant wedding at Kendal Kingdom Hall before moving onto the lovely Linthwaite House Hotel in Windermere in the Lake District. Here is a selection of photographs from their special day.
Wow, brilliant photos! You captured the day perfectly with some great ‘story telling’ in your shots. And what a beautiful bride too! (groom not too bad either…)
What beautiful photo’s. You’re naturally gifted
So many beautiful pictures inspired of course by a beautiful bride and groom! I think someone should have told Darcey not to stare into the light towards the end of the pics – priceless!!
Really lovely to see a Witness wedding!
Great coverage Thomas, fantastic work as always.
Congratulations Hannah and Darren from Brother Yarrow
I’m in love the Brides dress, it’s so unique! What a beautiful day, and beautiful images!
Total quality from start to finish, incredible work! Really like the full length bridal portrait by the window in black and white, great image that.
Wow, love everything about this set of images. Light, composition, processing and the wonderfully candid approach. Congrats!
Well done thomas these are wonderful photo’s you have done an amazing job here.
Your work always amazes me Tom, absolutely beautiful – lots of great candids throughout. Particularly love the one of the little girl looking at the centrepiece
Stunning photography
beautiful work. Especially loving the dress shot
Great wedding photography, very impressed.
Hannah and Darren will be getting married at The Linthwaite House Hotel this Spring. After a short drive into the Lakes we managed to squeeze the last out of the days sunshine. It was great to spend some time with such a lovely couple having so much fun in terrific surroundings. Thanks Hannah and Darren!
Beautiful images, the red coat is really striking! Especially love the black and white shot of the waterfall.
Thomas – Thank you so much for capturing such a special time in our lives 
) You made us feel so relaxed during the shoot that all our pre-wedding photo nerves have now gone. We are thrilled with our pictures and so looking forward to our wedding day confident that we are in safe hands with you. Thank you so much again x
What a fabulous set. The lens flare shots and tilt/shift work is really striking. Bravo!
Beautiful. I LOVE the black and white in front of the gate, and the far away shot at the river!
What an adorable couple! Love the black and white shot near the end in front of the big tree.
Beautiful couple, great photos. Love that b&w in front of the tree
Adorable couple! I love the 6th one down and the last one.
The black and white one of them up against the cast iron fence belongs in a magazine….or on a wall. Seriously!
Love how Hannah’s jacket pops against all of the backgrounds. Great work all around.
Wow that image in front of the tree!! Wow!
What a cute couple!! Love their emotion.
That tree and the little cottage by the waterfall – are you KIDDING me? Awesome.
So romantic…I just love the tones here. Well done!
This might be one of my favorite engagement sessions ever. I love the transitions between the different environments, and your use of color and tilt/shift is brilliant. I want to see more.
WOW! I’m speechless! I love the light, the location and how well you capture their love!
Awesome, love the rich colours, the locations, and the tilt/shift shot by the waterfall is amazing!
Wow – a really stunning set in such a beautiful part of the world – I used to go to school there and didn’t appreciate my surroundings half as much as I should!
Awesome set of pictures. Gorgeous color. Bit of everything. Flare. Backlight. Soft light. Tilt-shift. Romance. Arty. Different backdrops. Liked best the doorway shots, nice set of posed, fun, tenderness.
Your images are really stunning, I especially like the Black and White images they are great
Inspirational stuff, really great set full of creativity and exceptional skill! Love the processing, posing and general feel of the photos, bravo!
Beautiful work there, some intense DOF in some of those!
A great looking couple and location to match. I realy like the shots by the waterfall.
Well, you certainly had it easy with these two Thomas!
Really looking forward to seeing their wedding.
Great photos! You do amazing work with your b&w and sepia. That miniature effect is fantastic.
Dude, I am loving this set! The feature image is awesome. Loving the bench shot too as its very symmetric.
great flair shots!
An overcast start, becoming torrential rain, followed later on by glorious sunshine. Such would have been the correct forecast for the day of Jo and Mark’s amazing wedding. It all went towards making up the brilliant tapestry of events that became Jo and Mark’s day. After stops at Canford Magna Golf Club and the Captain’s Club in Christchurch, we arrived at the beautiful Highcliffe Castle for the ceremony and reception. Thanks Phill Allen for having me along and thanks Jo and Mark for letting me capture your special day!
Great pictures Thomas!
Fabulous storytelling in these images – I really like them
Wow, I like your photos in this wedding, I like your style too my friend, congratulations. Cheers from Spain 
Beautiful work, I love the venue with the VW Camper in the background. Very cool indeed
Megan’s mum wanted to capture her little girl before she became a fully fledged teenager. Meg wasn’t sure about the whole idea but she soon relaxed and was a star! Here are a few portraits of lovely Megan.
Love the ones with the sun behind her. Beautiful!
What a fantastic session. I love the ones with her and her dog. They look so natural together.
What lovely portraits, some great images there. Love the dog too!
beautiful girl, and beautiful photos. i absolutely LOVE that dog!! gorgeous work thomas!
What fantastic lighting shots!
beautiful colours, and love the black and white with the dog.
Pretty girl + pretty light! Great job!
Beautiful portraits and wonderful lighting. The third one from the top is my favorite.
Lovely portraits!
It was a great experience capturing Laura and Keith’s wedding. They are such a fun, relaxed couple with a great bunch of friends and family who really loved the day’s events. The ceremony was held at St Marks church in Natland before everybody moved on to the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal for a fine meal and reception.
No comments… people must be crazy!
These are cracking shots mate. Good idea with the post box and loving the prep image of the guy in the background doing the ‘Transformers point’ (if thats not whats he doing then thats some unique cufflink moves). The kids through the gate made me laugh too
These are truly amazing wedding photographs, some of the best I have seen!! I especially love the shot of my shoes there are some great shots of the children, many creative shots and love the ones through the window!! you are very talented and have captured some great moments throughout the day… Laura and Keith must be so pleased !!
What a beautiful place to have the opportunity to shoot at!
I love all of the shots with the flower girls and ring bearers! They look like they were a hoot.
Great storytelling here, love your bridal prep shots. Really good!
All I can really say is that they must be totally stoked on these images. You captured the day wonderfully.
Looks like a really really fun wedding!
Love the splashes of color, the kids at the gate pre-ceremony, and the smiles and laughs throughout – you captured some really beautiful, genuine happy moments here! nicely done.
Lots of gems here. Great moments, great emotions, and a fantastic day. Great job.
I love everything about this wedding. So many great moments captured. Nice work.
Awesome collection of images. Really like the way you see. Laura and Keith, you two look amazing!
Love the post box shoe shots!
Looks like it was a fantastic day amongst fantastic people Thomas. Your coverage is more solid than solid could be and there’s a constant stream of images with impact and pizzaz in there! Brilliant job.
So many really lovely photographs. Love the guys getting ready – true men with a motorbike in the lounge. You’ve captured the kids having fun throughout, but the real stunner for me is the black and white B & G dance image at the end. Beautiful.
Great set, the kids are just darling.
Shoes on a red post box, how creative, great images!!!!
Claire and Rob had a brilliant day at Rhinefield House in the New Forest. Really lovely people, a beautifully arranged wedding at a great venue.
What a stunning venue! Just loving your evening coverage, such fun energy and colours.
I love love love the sunflowers!!
Such a beautiful and happy wedding. I love happy weddings!
Wow, that is a simply beautiful location. I love all of your wonderful candids, especially the couple being tossed with the petals!
Those far away sunset shots are money dude. Canvases for every one of them.
Wow – I’m blown away by these! The photograph of her whispering in his ear during the ceremony is SO well done. What a great spot! Those sunset shots are killer too.
Good grief, what an amazing location for a wedding! I laughed at that shot of the wedding dress shoes with all the other shoes. The shot of them getting showered in petals is great but the best are the sunset pictures. Stunning.
sunset silhouette and the last shot are my fav
What a gorgeous venue and beautiful photos! The sunset shots are amazing.
Amazing! nuff said.
Thanks everyone, really appreciated! Thomas
Amazing set of shots, and a few we hadn’t seen yet. Thanks so much again Thomas. What a team the pair of you made, you have provided us with memories that will be cherished forever.
You really are up there with the rest of them Tom, can’t really reiterate that enough. The way you manage to capture things makes me green – honestly so jealous of your skills
Fresh, timeless, and just stinking beautiful. Every one of ‘em.
I am loving the sun set shots, very difficult to get, but you nailed it. Great work
The Lake District weather was true to it’s form for this little trip to Lake Windermere. But Laura and Keith more than made up for the rain with their bright smiles and cheery personalities. They’ll be getting married in Natland and celebrating at the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal at the end of October.
Nice photo’s!!
Fantastic photographs, cannot wait for the wedding ones
The action started for Ben and his groomsmen at the White Hart in Welwyn. Next we moved on to the pretty St. Etheldreda’s church for Jo and Ben’s wedding ceremony, which is just next to Hatfield House, the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth I. Now it was home to Jo and Ben’s wedding reception which was held in and around the beautiful red brick Tudor Old Hall and knot garden.
WOW! Great shots – what a great setting too! I’ve seen a lot of wedding photography over the years but your stuff is fantastic and just that little bit different, very artistic!
Killer venue. Love the way you told the story of the day. And grandma’s hat is rad!!!
What a lovely wedding. I love the shot of the bride glancing over at the groom during the ceremony and the portraits in the flowers. Great portfolio.
All around great job my friend!
Wonderful coverage of an outstanding wedding…so much love and joy to be found here!!
Really nice ceremony shots, they’re all so romantic!
Love the expressions you captured in these shots. Priceless!
REEE-CEPT-ION SHOTS!!!! luv em.
Great storytelling here! You did a brilliant job at capturing the various emotions throughout the day as well as the details!
How’s Cumbria? Great wedding and photography! See you soon!
What a beautiful wedding! Brilliant work.
Anyone who’s seen ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ will understand what is going on here. The guests of Brogan and Sam’s wedding however were treated to a new phenomenon; synchronised Napoleon dancing, from top performing brothers Paul and Stevie.
That is genius! lol, great capture!
School Knott is a gentle walk; from the top you can look down on Windermere town and lake, and across to the Langdale Pikes. The word Knott is of Cumbric origin and means ‘hill’. On the way up is a nice little tarn called, you guessed it, School Knott tarn.
Thomas…..you have such a talent which you display so artistically and with your usual modesty.You do have the ability to capture the essence of a person.It has been a pleasure to see some of your work….are all your subjects required to be beautiful or do they just become so?Bob and I thank you for these delightfully captured moments of the Family Thomas…..imagine how young Master Thomas will look!With the due day being tomorrow ,we wait excitedly…..camera to the ready!Thank you.
I wish I had a photo of me (when I was a nipper) like how you’ve captured number 4
Little Toby is just nine days old having just come home from hospital. Congratulations Kate and Simon! (Also featuring Grandma Sherry who called in for a cuppa.)
AMAZING! Can’t believe how much Toby has grown since these were taken – a few weeks makes such a difference – which makes your pictures so special… Thank you x
LOVE these pictures! Toby is so beautiful, and I’m very impressed with his wardrobe! Such lovely photos, I hope to see more soon! x
Finley relishing the ritual of having his hair cut. The sensation of little hairs tickling your nose never was great, was it!
You could literally feel his pain!! What a little dude! I reckon to just grow it it and have dreadlocks instead!
Our two little ones meeting our friends baby Toby for the first time. They adore the little fella!
Wow Tom. Just…WOW. Stunning coverage, and your pp has taken on a life of it’s own, really, really beautiful work. You’re up there with the best in the country, without a shadow of a doubt!

Great job in capturing all the moment of the day! It felt like I was there.
I love how you see and capture what is really important…. I feel like I know something about these people and celebrate with them. It’s clear you love your clients just by the way you photograph them. Kudos to you.

Excellent coverage – you’ve caught some great moments!
such a joyous wedding, fab location. Love the detail, the smiles and that shot towards the end in the doorway is a beaut.
A beautiful wedding, and brilliant coverage!!! Love the night shots!

Thanks very much everyone for your comments, I really appreciate them all!
Great coverage, great details.
fantastic set of images, well done.
As the bride on the day, I’m so pleased that we made such a good choice of photographer. You have captured so many amazing moments of our day in such an apparently effortlessly way. You are so skilled in what you do, you were there for every moment and yet never intrusive or in the way. I can’t say thank you enough!!! Xx
