Beamish Hall - Hannah and Shaun

In February, Hannah and Shaun said "I do" in the beautiful setting of Beamish Hall in County Durham. The weather was perfect for a winter wedding, with clear skies, a bit of sun, and just a hint of chill in the air.

The ceremony took place in the stunning Shafto Hall surrounded by their closest family and friends. Hannah looked breathtaking in her elegant wedding gown as she walked down the aisle with her dad, and Shaun looked very dapper in his Cavani suit. They were both, all smiles as they exchanged vows, it was clear to see the love in their eyes for each other.

After the ceremony, guests were treated to some fantastic speeches and a delicious meal in the Monboucher suite. The room was beautifully decorated and the atmosphere was lively as everyone celebrated the newlyweds. The Monboucher suite also played host for their evening reception where the party continued into the night.

It was a day filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of happy tears, and it was a joy to have been a part of it.

Healey Barn - Brooke and Calum

In December, Brooke and Calum became Mr. and Mrs. in a beautiful wedding at Healey Barn. Nigel met Calum and the lads as they got ready at Derwent Manor, while I went to see Brook and the girls at the Newlands Lodges near Shotley Bridge. Brooke looked stunning in her elegant lace gown, complemented by her bridesmaids in neutral shades, and their Yorkshire Terrier, Ruby, who was dressed to the nines and stole the show with her cuteness.

Their ceremony was held in the candlelit stone barn at Healey Barn, which was filled with beautiful floral displays featuring white roses, pinecones, and pampas grass, The magnificent Christmas tree at the entrance to the barn added a touch of seasonal magic. After the ceremony and a few drinks with their guests, Brooke and Calum joined us outside to capture some shots within the grounds of Healey Barn, and in the surrounding woods.

It was a wonderful day from start to finish - from the emotional ceremony to the surprise performance by singing waiters, and right through to the end of the day as the guests were partying the night away. We loved every moment of photographing it.

We wish the happy couple a lifetime of love and happiness.

“Thank you so much for the amazing photos, they are fabulous, memories to last a lifetime! Thanks again for being so amazing and playing a huge part in our special day! We absolutely love our beautiful photos.” - Brooke and Callum.

South Causey Inn - Jasmine and Ryan

Jasmine and Ryan's spectacular wedding in October took place at two venues.  Surrounded by all of their family and friends, they said their vows and became husband and wife in the Tanfield Suite at the South Causey Inn in County Durham.  After a few family photos in the grounds, they headed off to celebrate their marriage at the Happiness Inn in Newcastle, with speeches, toasts, a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, and a meal.

We headed back to South Causey Inn later in the day and arrived early ahead of the guests to explore the gardens, take in the sunshine and create some beautiful portraits before heading inside. South Causey Inn has several venues to choose from, however, as Jasmine and Ryan were the only wedding at the venue that day, and with so much time on our hands, the staff at South Causey were only too happy to allow us to explore the other venues for photographs too.

Once everyone had arrived and were seated in the Durham Suite, the bride and groom, along with the best man and maid of honour each gave a speech sharing funny stories and witty anecdotes then took to the dancefloor for their first dance as husband and wife.

It was a wonderful day, and so much fun to photograph and we were thrilled to have been a part of it.

Healey Barn - Emily and Luke

Towards the end of September, we were back in Northumberland for Emily and Luke's fantastic wedding day at Healey Barn.

Emily and Luke started their day at Healey Hall, getting ready with their closest family and friends. Emily and her girls were in the main house, and Luke and the lads were in one of the cottages, before heading over to Healey Barn for their ceremony. There was barely a dry eye in the room as Emily walked down the aisle on her grandad’s arm. It was an emotional moment for everyone, but most of all Luke, who just about managed to hold it together. After exchanging vows, they left the room with huge cheers, and whoops, leading everyone outside to the courtyard for their drinks reception. They held their wedding breakfast in the Oak room, with its stunning views of the Northumberland countryside. The room was beautifully decorated, with florals and candlelight, and made use of the bridesmaid’s bouquets as table centers.

It was a wonderful day filled with laughter and fun. From the beautiful ceremony in the barn to the crazy dancing in the evening, their day was a joy to photograph.
