An early autumn wedding at Healey Barn - Emma and Michael

At the very beginning of September, we found ourselves with Emma and Micheal for their wedding day at Healey Barn in Northumberland. We started the day with them both as they got ready in Healey Hall, a beautiful Georgian mansion a short distance away, moving over to Healey Barn for their ceremony in the beautiful old barn. Drinks in the courtyard flowed into teir wedding breakfast in the Oak Room. It was a fantastic day and great to have been a part of.

South Causey Inn - Darcie and Paul

In October, we were back at South Causey Inn in County Durham for Darcie and Paul’s wonderful wedding day. It was one of those perfect autumn days, with clear skies and crisp autumn air, and it could not have been more perfect for their wedding.

Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, Darcie and Paul exchanged vows in the St Cuthbert’s suite, afterwards moving outside with their guests to enjoy the glorious weather and the stunning views of the Beamish Valley. After a bit of confetti and a few photo’s in the grounds, they all headed back inside to the Old Barn for their wedding breakfast and three amazing speeches.

After the sun had set, and the dancing was in full swing, we began to say our goodbyes, but were stopped in our tracks at the sight of the full moon. We quickly nipped outside for one last photo, and I am so glad we did, what a way to spend the end of your day, standing in the light of the full moon. It was such a romantic moment.

Incredible venues with gorgeous decor and beautiful views, stunning flower arrangements, and amazing outfits all go together to help make a wedding unforgettable, and Darcie and Paul had all of these, but for me what makes a wedding really special is the people. The love and joy for Darcie and Paul was clear to see from the faces of everyone attending, and I am not surprised at all, Darcie and Paul are two of the warmest and most wonderful people you could hope to meet. It was a joy to get to know them both and wonderful to photograph their wedding.

“The photos are absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much, we LOVE them, you’ve captured our whole day perfectly!! We had the most amazing day, everything about it was perfect and a huge part of that was having you and Nigel with us.” - Darcie and Paul.

Shortflatt Tower - Ashley and Tom

In September, we drove up to Belsay and to Shortflatt tower for Ashley and Tom’s wedding. Shortflatt Tower is a stunning venue for a wedding, and the early signs of Autumn, with the trees beginning to change colour, made it even more so.

Ashley and Tom exchanged vows surrounded by their closest family and friends in the Woodland Suite, with stunning panoramic views of the woodland around them, before heading outside to enjoy the stunning grounds of the estate for their drinks reception and pictures. They continued their celebrations by heading back to the woodland suite, which was now fully opened up and made a fabulous space for a party.

As the sun began to set, the sky turned a beautiful blue/orange hue, so we headed up the road to Bowlam Lake for a few pictures. Ashley and Tom looked amazing with the woodland and lake behind them, and the sun casting a warm glow over the water. The swans even popped by to say hello.

It was a wonderful day with a wonderful couple and we were honoured to have been there to capture it all in pictures.

Healey Barn - Aileen and Christopher

“I can not recommend Nigel and Chrissie enough! They are simply amazing. An amazing team who go above and beyond. Photographer wizards! Brilliant, amazing, creative and to quote Tina “simply the best!“ - Elizabeth, Mother of the groom.

Aileen and Christopher got married on a wet day in October. When I say rain; the downpour started when bride Aileen left Healey Hall and did not stop until after the first dance!

As you can see though, the weather didn't stop everyone enjoying this cosy, rural autumnal wedding at Healey Barn in Northumberland.
