On a scorcher of a summers day Leah and Philip hosted their intimate wedding (with just ten guests) in the Lake District at Armathwaite Hall Country House Hotel & Spa
"Our plan for the wedding was small and intimate in a place we both love. We absolutely love the Lake District and its scenery (We’re often over there hiking)," Leah explains.
After initally dismissing the idea of a wedding photography, Ross Martin of RGMphoto was discovered by the couple at a Wedding Wonder Show event and impressed with his relaxed style. "We wanted someone who could be as relaxed as we wanted to be but who could also capture the memories we wanted to create. I stumbled across RGMphoto at the wedding show at the Stadium of Light last year. Ross showed us some of his work and told us about one of his bespoke packages that was perfect for our wedding and not just that, it included a pre-wedding shoot!"









"We short-listed a few venues to visit in the Lake District - Armathwaite Hall was the first. We were unsure if we’d find somewhere that would cater for such a small wedding."
"Armathwaite Hall actually has a few ceremony rooms in different sizes, they also have a range of packages. They are absolute perfectionists in wedding planning – nothing is impossible! To top it all it has the perfect setting; a stately home with an on site spa and absolutely stunning views!"









Some words of wedded wisdom from Leah? "Don’t wish away the months to your wedding, enjoy every single moment of the planning and no matter how big or small your wedding is, you can create very special memories for your big day. The planning all pays off on the day. Brides, remember to consult with the groom when planning - you’ll be surprised how much they enjoy getting involved!"
