Healey Barn weddings
Steph and Adam were one of our lucky 2021 couples who were married on their original wedding date, with no need for postponements and rescheduling of suppliers. Restrictions had eased so far that they could have the day that they wanted in full, with the only exception being that guests could still not dance. Their wedding day at Healey Barn was another stunner, beautiful weather, a gorgeous couple and a fab group of guests to celebrate the day with.
“Just wanted to send a message and say THANK YOU so much for everything yesterday! We had the best day and can’t wait to do it all again in October with you both! So pleased the rain managed to hold off for the photos, we can’t wait to see them! It was so good to see you both after so long! You two really are the best!”
After having postponed their wedding day twice, Eleanor and Adam’s big day finally arrived in May. Restrictions of no more than 30 guests, and no dancing were still in place so they also continued with their plans for a second wedding which followed in October. They chose Healey Barn for both of their wedding days - a fabulous venue with so many great spots for photographs, so we had no fears about coming up with new ideas for each day. Their intimate wedding ceremony was followed by drinks in the courtyard, a walk in the woods with the newlyweds, and then the first wedding breakfast and speeches that we had photographed in months. It was so nice to feel things beginning to get back to normal.
It was great to spend two amazing wedding days with these guys. Their sense of fun and enthusiasm was contagious and we shared so many giggles with them and their wonderful families - it felt like we were photographing an old friends wedding.
It was also awesome to work alongside one of our fav wedding videographers - Abigail Grace, on both days.
"We can not thank you enough for all the work you have done to capture our wedding day. The photos are better than we could have ever wished for and we can't wait to share them with our family as they have captured our day so perfectly. You were both such a pleasure to be around on the day itself and created a wonderful and fun atmosphere to be in.”
“Our wedding video is incredible and we have already had so many compliments from our family on the quality and amazing storytelling. You have captured moments that otherwise, neither of us would have seen from my mum waving to my brother as we walked down the aisle to Glen's dad cracking a joke as Glen introduced my dad and for this, we will be forever grateful. I have watched it countless times now and every time it takes me back to the best day of my life. Somehow you have captured everything we felt on the day and we sincerely appreciate everything that you have done to create unforgettable memories for us that will last a lifetime. Freyja and Glen x”
The start of 2021 was very quiet for us, as it was for everyone in the wedding industry due to Covid 19 causing havoc and putting the country into lockdown again. By the time Freyja and Glen’s big day came around in April, they had to alter their plans - delay their big day by a week, and downsize to 13 attendees, but they did it! At the time, wedding receptions and socialising indoors was not permitted, so their wedding day consisted of their wedding ceremony and a few drinks in the courtyard - 2 hours in all. It was a gorgeous, intimate wedding, with a fun-loving couple, and their awesome family, and we loved it!
As so many of their friends and family could not attend, they looked for a videographer to film the moment that they became husband and wife. Without finding the right person for the job, they asked us, and so on this wedding day, we also shot our first wedding film! I am not including it, as for the time being we are not thinking about changing direction - however, who knows one day? It was great fun to try something different, and going on their comments, they loved the result!
“We have seen the photos now and love them all! You have captured our special day perfectly and we have already received so many compliments on your work. We will treasure the memory of the day from your photographs forever. It was the day of our dreams. Thanks again for everything!” - Rachel & Dean
Our last wedding of 2019 was that of Rachel and Dean at Healey Barn in Northumberland. Healey Barn with its cosy interior and candle lit ceremonies could not have been more perfect for their winter wedding. Rachel enjoyed a relaxing morning with her girls at the Lord Crewe Arms while the lads got ready at Healey Hall, before joining their wedding guests for their ceremony at Healey Barn. It was a gorgeous day with a chilled vibe and was a real delight to attend.
