Thomas Beecham's Wedding Photography Blog
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!
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 
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.
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.
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!

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.

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!

Vicki and Luke will be getting married in Durham City. We went to the beautifully, recently restored Hardwick Park in County Durham for these photographs and some wedding planning.

Excellent pictures, I especially like the one from the Gothic ruin and the serpentine bridge.
They turned out really nice!
Amy had been to her dance lesson this morning before meeting up at the local cafe where she was enjoying a mid-morning snack with a glass of milk – thanks Amy for saving me a bit of your jam and toast!

Amazing! The perfect little cutie for a very talented photographer.
bet her family are chuffed with these:)
We had a lot of fun with Kate and Simon photographing the baby bump. Hopefully we’ll get some more shots outside soon too when the weather improves. Can’t wait to meet and photograph the little guy in person, only a few weeks to go!

Many thanks for the pics of my family and the ‘expected’ new member!
Thanks so much for these amazing photos Thomas. We had such a fun time and felt completely relaxed and at ease throughout. You have really caught this very exciting time perfectly and we really can’t express how much that means to us.
We’re both so pleased with the results and can’t wait for you to do the next installment when the little man arrives – Kate & Simon
What amazing photos! – So beautiful, they capture the real emotion and excitement of everyday life. The expressions that can be missed in the blink of an eye are captured and can be treasured for friends and family forever. Thank you for taking such special pictures of my twin sister in her pregnancy and for sharing your other photos with us. I’m looking forward to more baby photos after the birth – the ones of Jasmin are stunning! x
Just adore this photo of our expected Gt Grandson with his Mum and Dad.Cant wait to meet little Toby in person,hopefully in late June Grandpa and Aunty Christine
Just love this pic of Toby and Mum and Dad Granpa and Aunty Christine
Little five month old Jasmine was sooo good for these photographs. She is a happy soul, bright as a button and very talkative, just like her mum! When she wasn’t fascinated by the camera or smiling at mum, she was watching the birdies out of the window.

I really like your photographic style – and you have captured the beauty of those all so precious baby moments – the smallness, those lovely big baby eyes…just beautiful!
Love the way you have photographed these. Especially love the expression on the black and white one that is the fifth one down. Really brings out the reflection on those eyes. Good work.
I’ve been helping a friend oil the wooden panelling inside the beautiful Arts and Crafts house Broad Leys on Windermere designed by Charles Voysey. It’s the home of the Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club and is sometimes used as a wedding venue.

I love these – absolutely wonderful
What handsome boys. Well done on capturing the beauty and elegance of the Weimaraner breed.
While virtually the whole of the rest of the British Isles was under about a foot of snow (or more), we had roughly a centimetre here in sunny Cumbria. Still, the ground was white and the low sun looked lovely so we took the opportunity…

Snow at last, and plenty of it! Snowballs, lots of snowmen including a snowgiant, super-fast sledging, fun, fun, fun… until its been around for weeks and we’re sick of it!

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.
