Beamish Hall - Joanne and Steve

Joanne and Steve chose Beamish Hall for their glorious early summer wedding day this year.  It was one of those days that the weather just couldn't make up it's mind.  Showers in the morning, crazy wind during their drinks reception, and some beautiful summer sun later, which made for some amazing portraits.  It was a day for fun and cheer, filled with love and wonderful moments and a joy to attend.

Matfen Hall - Laura and Paul

It's been far too long since I last posted.  Nigel and I have been busy all year long, photographing some incredible weddings, and I can't wait to show you them.  All the way back in April, we were very fortunate to photograph Laura and Paul's elegant wedding at Matfen Hall in Northumberland.  The sun shone, the atmosphere was fantastic, and all in all it was a really unforgettable day. 

Laura and Paul chose some amazing suppliers for their wedding day.  It was great to work alongside Lisa Jones (Hair and make up), Coco Luminaire (light up letters), Snaparazzi photobooths, and Jason Issacs for the evening entertainment.

Here are some of our favourite shots from Laura and Paul's wedding at Matfen Hall.

Slaley Hall - Sam and Shaun

For our last wedding of August last year we travelled to the beautiful Northumberland countryside and to elegant Slaley Hall for the wedding of Sam and Shaun.  They set the date and chose to tie the know almost exactly ten years to the day after they first became a couple - their stunning wedding cake was designed to feature these special dates alongside the date that they got engaged.   

The day was interchangeable. Sudden rain showers throughout the day attempted to disrupt the flow but a little forward planning meant that the weather didn't become too much of an issue.  The whiskey snug became a great choice for their family photographs and looked very stylish and the corridors with their mirrors and interesting lighting offered us an opportunity for some creative portraits.  Thankfully the rain came down in short bursts so we were also able to get back outside for a few more relaxed photographs of the two of them together.

Sam's beautiful updo was styled by super talented Lisa Cameron, her wedding shoes featuring a sixpence sunk into the insole of the shoe were from Charlotte Mills, and the bride also chose to personalise a pair converse for the evening.
