Joy-Filled Wedding at Coniston Copper Mines
Kate and Tom's wedding at Coniston Copper Mines was truly one for the books. It was a venue I had wanted to shoot at for so long, and Kate and Tom were the perfect couple for it. The day was focused on laughter, joy, and giving their guests an unforgettable experience. With its breathtaking views of the Lake District, Coniston provided the perfect backdrop for their tipi wedding, embracing the area's natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere.
The vowes took place inside a rustic barn on the grounds of the copper mines. Kate and Tom exchanged vows, surrounded by their closest friends and family, and the barn's stone walls and low ceiling created a warm and intimate space. After the ceremony, guests took a short walk in sync back up the hill towards the terrace for a drinks reception, soaking in the stunning views of the surrounding fells while mingling with cocktails in hand.
After enjoying the picturesque scenery, the celebration moved into the main event: a tipi reception underneath the hills of Coniston. The tipi was the perfect choice for this laid-back, fun-loving couple, providing a relaxed space for dining and dancing with a breathtaking view. As Kate and Tom made their grand entrance to the dinner reception, Pitbull's "Fireball" blasted through the speakers, setting the tone for what was sure to be a lively night ahead.
Dinner was much like the couple: informal and joyful! Filled with laughter, clinking glasses, and heartfelt toasts. Things really kicked up a notch when the dancing began. The DIY bar became the heart of the party, with Tom's groomsmen enthusiastically serving drinks to their friends and family throughout the evening. It didn't take long for the dancefloor to fill up, with everyone toasting with glasses of sparkling wine as they danced late into the night.
Kate and Tom's wedding at Coniston Copper Mines was a perfect blend of beautiful scenery, relaxed vibes, and an enjoyable guest experience. Every part of the day reflected their personalities and love of a good time—from the lively entrance song to the DIY bar and the endless dancing. It's weddings like these that show just how magical a day can be when the focus is on a great experience with the people you love most.
