Healey Barn - Lizzie and Alessio

This is Lizzie and Alessio's wonderful wedding at St Peter's Church in Low Fell, and Healey Barn in Northumberland, the perfect venue for this stylish and relaxed couple.

As a recommended supplier at Healey Barn, we are in the very fortunate position of being a regular visitor to this great venue.  It's rustic styling, woodlands and rolling coutryside views never fail to impress us.  It was a joy to return for Lizzie and Alessio's big day last May.

"We both worked at Costa Coffee whilst I was at school and college. After I finished university Aless and I worked in the same store when he asked me to go out to a drink and we’ve been together since. Aless booked a trip to Copenhagen where he took me to Tivoli Gardens, where we sat and had a drink then he popped the question."

"We both loved every second of our day, but our first dance was very special. We will never listen to the proclaimers (500 miles) in the same way."

"We chose 2tone because their work was exactly the style we were looking for. They were also extremely thorough throughout the whole planning and extremely professional. We are over the moon with our photographs and wedding album, they couldn’t have captured the day any better."

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.

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...
