Eden Wedding Barn Wedding Photographer


Eden Barn is one of those places I’ll always say yes to. Set in the heart of Cumbria, it’s got everything going for it – rolling hills, a beautifully restored rustic barn, and a relaxed, unpretentious feel that suits my style perfectly.


Weddings at Eden Barn

The ceremony barn with its exposed stone and ambient lighting is a joy to shoot in – warm, atmospheric, and intimate. Then there’s the outdoor space: whether we’re wandering up the lane for a quiet moment, catching golden hour by the dry-stone walls, or capturing intimate moments in the rain with rolling fields, there’s no shortage of backdrops. Even if the weather turns (which let’s face it, it sometimes does!), there’s always somewhere good to shoot.

Wedding guests gather in a rustic brick venue during a ceremony with natural lighting streaming through windows.

A Bit About Me

I’m Mark – a wedding photographer and filmmaker based just outside Kendal. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph hundreds of weddings across the Lake District and Eden Barn is easily one of my favourites. It’s about a half hour from home for me, which means I know the drive, I know the light, and I know where to go if we need to pivot on the day. I come ready – boots, coat, backup plans and all.


I don’t pose you endlessly or keep you away from your guests for hours – I photograph what’s real: the moments, the energy, the bits you might’ve missed.
