A church and Shotton Grange wedding - Emma and Simon

Emma and Simon’s wedding was an absolute joy to be part of. They were so easygoing and fun, and made the whole day a pleasure from start to finish. They tied the knot at Christ Church in North Shields where they exchanged vows surrounded by their closest family and friends. The atmosphere was relaxed, filled with smiles and laughter, and full of those little moments that make weddings special.

After the ceremony, everyone headed over to Shotton Grange in Northumberland for the reception. The venue was gorgeous, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves. We got some fantastic shots during the golden hour - the light was just perfect and Emma and Simon looked great against the backdrop of the venue grounds. It was one of those weddings where everything just clicked, and it was a lot of fun to be there capturing it all.

Shotton Grange - Amy and Mark

“Me and Mark wanted to thank you again for being our wonderful photographers yesterday. From keeping us calm in the morning and capturing some special quiet moments, to gathering us all together for fun photos. You were both so patient and friendly and a fantastic couple to have taking photos at our wedding. Thank you again! We are so grateful.”

“Wow! Where to even start… you capture the most raw and magical moments and we have had the best time sat looking through them crying and laughing. Myself (the bride) find certain situations incredibly overwhelming and you both helped to put me at ease throughout the whole day… although most of it is a blur to us both. We are forever thankful to you both for helping us capture memories to cherish for a lifetime. We cannot wait to share these with our family and friends.”

Sister venue to The Parlour at Blagdon, Shotton Grange opened its doors in 2019 and so is still a fairly new venue to our area - especially considering much of its first two years were spent during a pandemic, but despite this, it has become very popular. The classic design of the Manor house, and the rustic vibe of the coach house, along with the fabulous walled garden are ideal for a relaxed wedding with an outdoorsy feel.

Amy and Mark booked us for their 2020 wedding at the Parlour at Blagdon way back in 2017. A year later, they were given the option to marry in Shotton Grange instead. They loved the new venue so jumped in feet first and went with it. Like so many, their wedding which was due to take place in March 2020 had to be postponed. Finally, over four years after they first booked us, their wedding day arrived. Their day was filled with lovely moments, from Mark shedding a tear when we saw his bride walking down the aisle, to their little girl keenly getting involved as they said their “I do’s.” I loved Amy’s Boho style and stunning florals, and her and Mark’s laid-back, fun-loving nature made it a joy to work with them.
