Shortflatt Tower - Fiona and Stuart

Located close to Belsay in Northumberland, Shortflatt Tower was a new one for us. Shortflatt Tower s a 13th-century pele tower, with amazing grounds and a purpose-built dining hall with woodland views which has been built inside the original walled garden. It’s a stunning location and perfect for couples who want a relaxed wedding with an outdoorsy vibe.

Fiona and Stu’s wedding was so much fun to photograph, from giggles with the girls as they got ready in the morning, to the crazy dance moves in the evening. It was a day full of energy and life, and we loved every moment of photographing it!

If you're planning your own wedding at Shortflatt Tower, and are looking for a wedding photographer, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

“What can we say, we are so overwhelmed by these photos and how perfectly they capture our day! I can't believe how many there are! Each time I look there seems to be more appearing! Thank you SO much for making this so fun and feel so easy. We absolutely loved having you both as an integral part of our day, and it truly wouldn't have been the same without you. The photos capture the whole range of emotions that came with the day and will be equally treasured. I LOVE the joy that can be seen in all the dancing photos and we are so grateful that you stayed to capture these. And the photos of Georgie the dog are simply perfect!  I could go on, but instead, I am just going to go back to scrolling through the pictures and reliving the day moment by moment!” - Fiona and Stuart

The Sun Pavilion - Ashley and Jon

A Sun Pavilion wedding in the Valley Gardens in Harrogate. Ashleigh grew up just around the corner from the park, the park she described as being like her back garden. Playing there as a child and learning to ride her bike. She told us that she had always hoped that one day she would also get married there.

It was a joy to walk through the gardens with Ashleigh and her crew before the ceremony, recounting on memories, and visiting areas that she was fond of as a child on the way to the Sun Pavilion. The ceremony was set up on the beautiful wrap around terrace overlooking the gardens, which also made the perfect location for their drinks reception. The huge room within the pavilion became the setting for their wedding breakfast.

We first met Ashleigh and Jon at Jon’s sister’s wedding back in 2017, and we were thrilled when they asked us to also be their wedding photographer. Ashleigh and Jon were a delight to work with, creative and stylish, and they knew exactly how they wanted their wedding to be. Seeing familiar faces again and meeting new friends was a joy. All in all, it was a pretty awesome day.

“Chrissie and Nigel were fantastic!!!!! We love the photos they took for us! Everyone has commented on how lovely they are! They were both really nice to work with, clearly experts in photography and were great at putting us at ease. We couldn't have wished for better photographers for our wedding! We are so happy with the photos, they captured the whole day perfectly! Thank you so much!!!!”

Beamish Hall - Rachel and Stephen

Rachel and Stephen’s wedding at Beamish Hall was a real treat. They opted for an outdoor ceremony in the stunning woodlands within the estate on what turned out to be a glorious sunny day. Their relaxed vibe and the stunning scenery effected everyones mood, it will be a wedding long remembered.

Woodhill Hall - Katie and Adam

It was an absolute joy photographing this very special wedding at Woodhill Hall in Otterburn last summer. Katie and Adam are two of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet. From the moment that we met, it was clear to see how much love they have for one another. I knew from the outset that I dearly wanted to shoot their wedding, and we were both delighted when they decided to book us.

A few months later we learned their amazing news that they were to become parents. Carefully, they together planned a very relaxed and informal wedding with outdoor ceremony, and the day went ahead without a hitch. Katie, the radiant bride and expectant mum looked incredible. Her tiny 20 week baby bump just showing. The look of love, joy and pride did not lift from Adam’s face the entire day. With all of their family and friends together in the same room, Adam, during the wedding speeches, announced the news that they were to have a daughter. The room erupted, and celebrations of not only their new marital status but also of their shared news lasted well into the night.

I am so happy to share these images with you, photographs of two beautiful people, about to begin the biggest adventure of their lives. Now, some months later, that adventure has already begun, they welcomed their little girl safely into the world at the beginning of December.

“2tone Photography were incredible. From Nigel meeting us in the morning and helping me and my groomsman through the difficult tasks of getting ready, to Christina's beautiful manner with us and our guests, we couldn't of wished for more, Thankyou so much from me and Katie .“
