Le Petit Chateau - Corrin and David

We visited Le Petit Chateau in Otterburn, Northumberland for the first time for Corrin and David wedding last october.  The cute and quirky setting of the chateau, along with the stunning natural colours of autumn supplied us with so many visual treats, along with a fabulously laid back couple who wanted nothing more than to spend their day relaxing with friends and family, and each other, enjoying their informal wedding celebrations.  Tiny Tim was the host with the most.  He joked, 'what was a Welsh man doing wearing a kilt in a French styled venue in Northumberland'!  He kept the pace of the day fast and fun, and made sure that everyone, including us, was well cared for.

It was a fantastic day, with energy in abundance and for our first time at Le Petit Chateau, it will be a hard one to beat!

Wynyard Hall - Kim and Doug

Autumn. I have always loved it, but more so since becoming a wedding photographer.  The low sun gives us sublime light, and the trees and foliage burst into an array of wonderful colours.  An autumn wedding at a venue like Wynyard Hall, working with a great couple and a fantastic team of suppliers. what more could we ask for?

Kim and Doug were a dream to work with.  Kim was effortlessly elegant and Doug was quite the gentleman.  Their stylishly classic wedding naturally flowed throughout the day from Doug preparing in Kim's family home right through to their fab evening reception where even Doug's Grandad showed off his moves on the dance floor.  Personal touches such as Kim's sister singing during the ceremony and her brother using his skills as a graphic designer for the table details added something extra special to the day.  This wedding was made special for us too, having worked with two of Kim's siblings in the past, it was a real joy to join the family again for this, the third family wedding.

Wynyard Hall - Rachel and Mark

Rachel and Marks wedding day last summer was such a treat for the eyes.  Set in the stunning Wynyard Hall in the Tees Valley, their day was filled with pretty details, elegance and style.  The boys opted to wear black tie for the occasion, while the girls chose pretty pastel shades, lace and delicate florals.  Their beautiful wedding cereony in the Brooks Chapel, within the Wynyard Hall estate was followed by a wedding breakfast in the hall's grand ballroom.  The walled garden made the perfect location for an after dinner stroll before they welcomed their evening guests for the evening do. It was wonderful to work with this great couple and a joy to be a part of their special day.

Here are a selection of their wedding images.
