Jesmond Dene House - Ashleigh and Neal

It was the perfect winters day for Ashleigh and Neal's wedding at Jesmond Dene House in December.  Crisp and cold with a light dusting of frost, and that oh so gorgeous low winter sun.  Ashleigh's Pronovias wedding gown and lace cape were a sensation, she looked every bit the perfect bride.

The venue fully decorated for christmas looked fantastic alongside Ashleigh and Neal's own decorations.  Fairy lights were strung up across the hall and within the trees in the grounds, willow entwined with even more fairy lights lead the way for the bride down the aisle, and for an added bit of festive cheer, Ashleigh's dad even made sure that there was snow!

Congratulations to the both of you, it was an honour to be a small part of your special day.

Wynyard Hall - Vicky and Tom

Wynyard Hall's grand pillars, state rooms, ornamental lake and private chapel make it one of the most admired buildings and one of the most sought after wedding venues in the uk.  It is always fantastic to photograph here and so it was great to return once again to photograph Vicky and Tom' big day last August.  

Their love for one another was clear, Tom overcome with emotion could not take his eyes off of his beautiful new wife and she beamed with happiness the whole entire day.  Vicky and her girls enjoyed a morning of relaxing and pampering in the hall's own beauty salon the Reef before they got dressed for the big day while Tom and the boys met Nigel in the Wellington bar for a few getting ready shots and pre wedding drinks. They were made man and wife in the charming Brooks Chapel, located within the estate of Wynyard Hall before heading outside.  After much celebration on the terrace, canapés eaten and the string quartet listened to, they all headed inside to dine in the magnificent ballroom.  

It was a fantastically fun day with a great couple and a great crowd.  It was a pleasure as always to work along side Paul Lytton the Magician, Coco Luminaire supplying the light up letters and of course the fab team at Wynyard Hall.

Beamish Hall - Helen and Callum

Callum's Dad has been a vicar at the Holy Trinity church in Murton for many years so when it was time for Callum to marry, who else would have be more perfect for the job that his old man?  The pretty church near Seaham made for the perfect setting for Helen and Callum's wedding.  Helen arrived in style to the beautifully decorated church path, arches adorned with yellow sunflowers - the colour symbolising joy, happiness and friendship led her way to the steps of the church and to Callum's dad, waiting to catch a picture of the moment for himself on his phone.

After their beautiful wedding ceremony, we all head over to Beamish Hall in Co. Durham.  It's always a joy to work at Beamish, with it's character style and beautiful mature grounds, not forgetting the fab team.  

It was a really fantastic day with a lovely couple, and a joy and honour to have been involved.
