Rachel and Sandy’s pre-wedding photography in the Lake District

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!
