Eden Barn Wedding: Hannah + Liam's Wedding at Eden Barn


Eden Barn is undoubtedly one of my favourite wedding venues in Cumbria. This 200-year-old Westmorland stone barn exudes timeless charm, with its beautifully exposed stone walls and rustic decor. The ceremony room, in particular, has an incredible moody vibe that I absolutely love. So when Hannah and Liam reached out a few years ago about their wedding, I knew right away it was a wedding I HAD to photograph and I welcomed the trip up to Cumbria from Cheshire.

Having just photographed two weddings in Cheshire and Manchester the days prior, I was sooo grateful for past Liv for booking a stay in Cumbria for the night before Hannah and Liam’s Wedding which was only forty minutes from Eden Barn (giving me a nice slow start to the morning). 


When I arrived at Eden Barn, I began the day with Hannah and her bridesmaids in the Couples Lounge as my second photographer, Ellie, captured groom prep with Liam at a local Air bnb.

With over 100 guests and a request for photography coverage of both Hannah’s bridal prep and Liam’s groom prep, I suggested they add a second shooter to their package. Ellie captured all of Liam's groom prep and contributed a wealth of additional photos from their day.

Hannah and Liam’s wedding ceremony was held in the Main Barn which is my favourite room at Eden Barn. It’s a rustic space, decorated with waterfall fairy lights and filled with beautiful lit candles creating a gorgeous moody vibe.

After the ceremony, we arranged the confetti photo outside, forming a tunnel from the pergola. The staff at Eden barn are AMAZING and were really on it at helping us arrange this! Then, I organised and photographed group and couple portraits as Ellie captured the guests chatting outside during cocktail hour.

Following the Wedding Breakfast, I documented the speeches in the main barn which were really lovely and filled with so much emotion.

Hannah and Liam cut their cake and shared a romantic first dance, kicking off an evening of celebration as they partied the night away with their loved ones.
