Matfen Hall - Kerry and Jake

Festoon lighting, hurricane lanterns a candle lit ceremony made for a wonderfully cosy atmosphere for Kerry and Jake's wedding at Matfen Hall last October.  They were married in the hall's stunning gothic great hall with it's huge sweeping staircase and huge feature fireplace.  The weather was kind to us and so the newlyweds were able to take advantage of the extensive grounds and woodlands for some pictures alone together before joining their guests for their wedding breakfast in the terrace rooms.  There were some great moments through out the day, lots of laughter and lots of fun, and it was a joy to capture it all for this fab couple.

Beamish Hall and Palace Gardens - Pam and Steven

East meets west in an explosion of fun, laughter, and colour for Pam and Steven's wedding last September.  Their traditional wedding was complete with door games for the groom, a tea ceremony, four outfit changes and a huge wedding banquet for all of their family and friends at Palace gardens in Newcastle's china town.  Pam looked stunning in each of her wedding outfits, each delicately embroidered and cut to perfection.  

They were married at Beamish Hall in County Durham in an elegant western inspired wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast for their closest family and friends heading over to Palace gardens the next day for a larger celebration.  

Here are a few of their pictures from their amazing two day wedding!!...

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.

Durham Castle - Ruth and Andrew

Historic Durham castle is one of our all time favourite venues.  Filled with stunning light and so many creative opportunities for photographs - as well as of course simply being a stunning setting for a wedding. Nigel and I were naturally delighted to return for Ruth and Andrew's wedding day.  

Ruth and Andrew travelled all the way from Auckland in New Zealand to be married in St Mary's Church in Blackhill going on Durham Castle for their reception.  I was an incredible day with a fantastic crowd and certainly a day to remember.
