Wedding Photography at Lodore Falls Hotel.
A Hotel Wedding Venue in Borrowdale, the Lake District

As Sophie and Simon’s Lodore Falls wedding photographer, I got to capture a day that was cold, clear and beautiful. Snow sat on the mountain tops, and Derwentwater was the most incredible shade of blue.

Lodore Falls Hotel: A Lake District Wedding Venue

Lodore Falls Hotel is a stunning Lake District wedding venue, set right on the edge of the lake and surrounded by mountains. It feels calm, luxurious, and offers the most glorious view of the Lakes landscape.

A Freezing Couple’s Session at Lodore Jetty

After the ceremony, we headed down to Lodore jetty for the couple’s session. It was minus two and freezing, but so worth it. I worked quickly to make sure none of us got too cold, and I’m so impressed with how Sophie and Simon took it all in their stride. Absolute heroes.

Twilight Photos Under the Pergola

Once the sun had set, we stepped back outside into the freezing night for twilight photos under the pergola. There, Sophie and Simon giggled as they twirled, enjoying the chance to take in the day together.

I’ve been wanting to photograph a wedding just like this one for a very long time, so it was such an honour to join Sophie and Simon for their big day. If you are planning a winter wedding at Lodore Falls Hotel, or anywhere else in the Lake District, I would love to hear from you as your Lodore Falls wedding photographer. So, get in touch and let’s start planning your day.

As a Wedding Photographer, This Is Why You Should Choose Lodore Falls Hotel

Lodore Falls Hotel sits right on the edge of the lake in Borrowdale and the setting gives a wedding an instant sense of calm. The lakeside, the jetty and the surrounding Lake District scenery give you so many beautiful areas for photographs, even when it is cold and clear.

The hotel holds a civil wedding licence and a garden gazebo is a lovely place for your ceremony. The refurbished Wedding Suite is the setting for your celebration and the hotel has a spa and restaurant so you and your guests can stay and enjoy the lake long after the day is over.

It is a place where winter feels romantic rather than harsh.

Why Choose Megan Maxwell as Your Wedding Photographer

People should choose me as their Lodore Falls Hotel wedding photographer because I know how to tell a story. After fifteen years as a television director and writer at the BBC, I bring a documentary approach to wedding photography, with an eye for the moments, relationships and little details that make your day yours. Sophie and Simon’s day was cold, clear and beautiful, with a couple’s session down at Lodore jetty at minus two.

My style is mostly documentary. I will be in the background for most of the day, catching the hugs, the happy tears, the questionable dance moves and all the unexpected things that happen around you. With the lakeside setting, the gazebo and the Wedding Suite there is plenty to photograph. You get to spend your wedding day with your favourite people instead of thinking about where the photographer is or what you should be doing.

Photographs of the two of you looking incredible matter too. We will usually take about twenty minutes for a wander together around the jetty and the lakeside, with gentle direction whenever it is useful. You do not need to be a natural in front of the camera or know how to pose. Leave that to me.

Beautiful and meaningful matter equally to me. I make images full of life, personality and rich colour that capture not just what your wedding looked like but how it felt to be there.

What I want most is for you to have a collection of photographs that tells the whole story. The big moments, the little moments and the people you love, plus all the things you might otherwise have missed. Photographs to enjoy now and treasure for years to come.

Every collection includes full day coverage with no set hours, travel is included and your previews arrive within 48 hours.
