Wynyard Hall - Rebecca and Michael

Wow, wow, wow! If you are going to have a black-tie wedding, this is how you do it! Rebecca and Micheal were one of the few lucky couples who were able to be married in 2020 without limitations or restrictions. Their elegant and sophisticated wedding took place at Wynyard Hall last February.

There was not a dry eye in the room as Rebecca walked down the aisle of the grand ballroom, following her and Michael’s daughter and escorted by her brother. There were smiles and one or two tears from the guests as they exchanged vows and rings, and joy spread through the room for the happy couple as they were pronounced man and wife. It was another extremely windy day, and the sky was desperately trying to rain so we stuck to sheltered areas for their pictures - but Wynyard Hall being what it is, is not short of wonderful places for photographs. After their meal and some fabulous speeches in the conservatory, they took to the dancefloor for their first dance as man and wife. They had told us before their wedding how much they liked our more dramatic artistic wedding portraits, and so as guests began to tuck into the evening buffet, we stole away with them to Wynyard Hall’s stunning Brooks chapel for a few more shots with one or two more outside in a similar style. It was a wonderful day with a wonderful couple. I just can’t wait to get back to shootings weddings like this again.

“THANK YOU! You were both so fantastic on our wedding day and we are so happy that we found you to capture our day. What can I say.... the pictures are amazing! You really did capture some amazing moments. We shed a few tears looking through them last night. You guys are fabulous and so talented at what you do. We can’t thank you enough!!

South Causey Inn - Jade and Craig

It has been so good looking through our first weddings from 2020 again, and reliving what were some pretty epic occasions. It's doing my soul so much good to see pictures of people hugging and celebrating together, knowing that we will be back there again soon. Jade and Craig’s wedding last February was indeed epic, despite it blowing a hooley almost all day. Wind is always the most tricky weather for a wedding photographer, even more so than rain, but when you have a bride and groom who just laugh all day, how could we go wrong!

Jade and Craig were married just a few miles away from us at the South Causey Inn in County Durham. It’s an awesome venue to work at, trendy and cool inside with some lovely views of the surrounding countryside outside. Nige met the lads at their home, while I joined the girls in one of South Causey’s cosy bedrooms. Jade looked stunning in her fitted lace gown, and her rose bouquet with lots of greenery was just gorgeous. They were married in the chapel and went on to have a meal with their family and friends in the Old Barn dining hall. After dinner, the wind dropped to a more manageable level, so we ventured out to explore the grounds with the newlyweds. The weather as it was before dinner, there was no way we were going to ask the guests to pop outside for confetti, but after the meal, they were all only too happy to join us which turn out to be a great kick-starter to their fab evening do.

Beamish Hall - Kieley and Peter

As a recommended supplier, Beamish Hall is a venue that we visit regularly.  A grand stately home with beautiful grounds and stunning architecture, it is a place that we always love to work at - and it made the perfect wedding venue for Kieley and Peter’s wedding in February. 

Kieley looked stunning in her wedding dress, with it’s lace detailing, tulle skirt and full length veil and I adored the pretty blush colour that she dressed her bridesmaids in.

The day was filled with lots of laughter and fun.  Kieley and Peter’s relaxed and carefree nature spread throughout the entire wedding party which made for a thoroughly enjoyable day which was a pleasure to be a part of.
