Ellingham Hall - Kirsty and James

Who could not love a wedding in October? Yes, true, you are playing a little game of chance when it comes to the weather, but the colours, the gorgeous hues of greens, reds, golds and browns as the trees begin to change, it fills my heart with joy to see them. On a (mostly) fine and bright day like Kirsty and James’ wedding at Ellingham Hall, October is a photographers dream come true.

Ellingham Hall in Northumberland is a dream venue to start with, the classical 1920’s styling, mature grounds and elegant exterior go a long way to impress anyone fortunate enough to visit, but what really made this day special was Kirsty and James themselves. Two kind souls, genuine and warm and it was clear to see where they got it from, their parents and families welcomed us in and made us feel very much a part of the family. We are beyond thankful to you all.

What a stunning wedding theirs was, and an absolute joy to photograph. I could go on and on about how fantastic their day was, but why not let the photographs speak for themselves?

Lartington Hall - Kayleigh and Brian

Lartington Hall was a popular choice for our couples last year, and yet again, in October, we found ourselves back again for Kayleigh and Brian’s big day. Kayleigh and Brian are two of the most genuine, fun and down to earth people you could meet. Their relaxed vibe spread throughout their wedding resulting in a whole lot of very relaxed people, throughly enjoying themselves amidst the celebrations…and I always do say that the best part of any wedding is the people.

I’m going to let their photographs tell you their story…

The Yorkshire Wedding Barn - Sarah and Bill

They say, it's good luck to rain on your wedding day... So often this is said to as a little consolation to the bride and groom who dreamed of an outdoor wedding ceremony that wasn't to be, however for Sarah and Bill who were married in the Yorkshire wedding barn in October, perhaps the old saying rang a truth as the day could not have gone better.  

The sky's opened and it poured down just as the bride was about to walk down the aisle.  The rain pummelled on the canopy with a constant roar and the water poured off of the canvas in sheets.  Sarah looked stunning and elated as she walked from the barn, a ceiling of brolly's surrounding her to her outdoor ceremony.  Her infectious happiness spread throughout the entire place and did not stop for the rest of day.  

The wedding ceremony went ahead in not exactly the way the had both envisioned before hand but with the help of some good spirited groomsmen and their brollies and a great team at the barn it could not have gone more smoothly.  The bride and groom, both lovers of the outdoors embraced the weather and and made it a part of their perfect day.  

It was a fantastic day with a really wonderful couple full of life and energy married in a stunning countryside setting.  I was so happy that our first visit to the Yorkshire wedding barn was for Sarah and Bill's unforgettable wedding day.       

Matfen Hall - Rachel and Elliott

Rachel and Elliott chose to be married at the fabulous Matfen Hall last October.  They travelled all the way from Surrey to say their vows surrounded by only their closest family and friends in the hall's impressive gothic great hall.  Escorted by her mum, Rachel looked stunning as she made her grand entrance down the sweeping staircase in her Justin Alexander a lace fishtail wedding gown. 

Their classical and timeless wedding day was a joy to attend and an honour to photograph.  Here are a few on the images from their big day.
