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.

Horton Grange - Joanne and Liam

This weekend will see Nigel and I at Horton Grange photographing for Danielle and Daniel so while we get ready for the big event, I though it would be nice to take a look back to the last time we were there.  

It had been some years since our previous visit to Horton Grange and so it was wonderful to revisit to capture Joanne and Liam's wedding day last October - to look at the place with new eyes and to be re-inspired by this lovely wedding venue.

Joanne and Liam chose to keep their wedding ceremony very intimate, with only their closet family and friends present with the rest of their loved ones joining them a little later for their wedding breakfast and evening party.  The couple's portraits were very important to them so they gave us lots of time to photograph them together throughout the venue and grounds before we left them a little earlier than normal to party the night away.  We loved every moment photographing for this great couple. 

Here are a few from their day...

Eshott Hall - Rachel and Ben

It was a joy to be heading back to the Parish Church of St John the Evangelist at Killingworth for our last wedding in May for Rachel and Ben's wedding.  

We were welcomed with open arms - literally by the church's lovely vicar who has a real knack of making everyone feel at home in his church.  It was really enjoyable to see him insisting that everyone fully take part in the ceremony by putting a microphone in front of random guests while they were singing hymns which resulted in lots of giggles throughout and certainly eased the nerves of the couple.  

After a really wonderful ceremony and a few pictures in the grounds of the church, we all head north for the wedding reception at the gorgeous Georgian country house, Eshott Hall in Northumberland.
