South Causey Inn Old Barn - Shauna and Joshua
Shauna and Joshua were married on a gorgeous sunny June day at South Causey Inn, with both their ceremony and reception taking place in the Old Barn. With blue skies, warm sunshine, and elegant styling throughout, the whole day had a relaxed and romantic atmosphere from start to finish.
The morning began with Shauna getting ready in the Hen House and Joshua in the Duck House on the South Causey estate before they met for the ceremony. Shauna’s lace A-line dress suited the feel of the day perfectly, and there were so many thoughtful personal touches throughout, including a creative wedding day newspaper for guests to read. Their little dog Kodi also made an appearance, which always makes a wedding feel even more personal. During the wedding breakfast, the surprise singing waiters completely changed the atmosphere in the room, getting guests singing, dancing, and laughing together.
As the evening celebrations got underway, Lady V Sax joined the first dance before leading everyone straight into the party. With live saxophone music, light-up sticks on the dance floor, and guests dancing all evening long, Shauna and Joshua’s wedding at South Causey Inn was such a fun one to photograph.
South Causey Inn wedding photographer - Jennie and Jordan
Jennie and Jordan’s wedding at the South Causey Inn’s Old Barn in County Durham was a beautiful autumn celebration full of elegance and style. Jennie looked absolutely stunning in her bias-cut wedding gown, paired with a handmade dried flower bouquet that perfectly complemented the season. Jordan was equally stylish in his light and dark split 3-piece suit, giving him a sharp and contemporary look. The bridesmaids' stunning emerald green gowns added a striking pop of color to the overall aesthetic, making for a visually memorable wedding party.
The day was filled with warmth and joy, and we had a fantastic time capturing every moment. After the ceremony, we took some wonderful photos in the grounds of the venue, surrounded by the picturesque autumn scenery. The South Causey Inn's Old Barn provided a rustic yet refined backdrop, perfect for Jennie and Jordan’s relaxed yet stylish celebration. With such a lovely couple and a fun atmosphere, it was truly a pleasure to photograph their special day.

An Old Barn Wedding at the South Causey Inn - Gemma and Cain
We first met Gemma and Cain when Gemma was a bridesmaid at her cousin Sarah’s wedding earlier in the year, and we just clicked, so when they got in touch to say that they were getting married and that they wanted us to be their photographers, we were thrilled. Gemma and Cain’s big day at the South Causey Inn Old Barn quickly came around and it was such a fun day to photograph, full of laughs and good times. From dodging rain showers to crazy dancing on the dancefloor, it certainly was a day I won’t forget in a hurry.
Here is their day from our point of view.

South Causey Inn - Jasmine and Ryan
Jasmine and Ryan's spectacular wedding in October took place at two venues. Surrounded by all of their family and friends, they said their vows and became husband and wife in the Tanfield Suite at the South Causey Inn in County Durham. After a few family photos in the grounds, they headed off to celebrate their marriage at the Happiness Inn in Newcastle, with speeches, toasts, a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, and a meal.
We headed back to South Causey Inn later in the day and arrived early ahead of the guests to explore the gardens, take in the sunshine and create some beautiful portraits before heading inside. South Causey Inn has several venues to choose from, however, as Jasmine and Ryan were the only wedding at the venue that day, and with so much time on our hands, the staff at South Causey were only too happy to allow us to explore the other venues for photographs too.
Once everyone had arrived and were seated in the Durham Suite, the bride and groom, along with the best man and maid of honour each gave a speech sharing funny stories and witty anecdotes then took to the dancefloor for their first dance as husband and wife.
It was a wonderful day, and so much fun to photograph and we were thrilled to have been a part of it.

South Causey Inn - Darcie and Paul
In October, we were back at South Causey Inn in County Durham for Darcie and Paul’s wonderful wedding day. It was one of those perfect autumn days, with clear skies and crisp autumn air, and it could not have been more perfect for their wedding.
Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, Darcie and Paul exchanged vows in the St Cuthbert’s suite, afterwards moving outside with their guests to enjoy the glorious weather and the stunning views of the Beamish Valley. After a bit of confetti and a few photo’s in the grounds, they all headed back inside to the Old Barn for their wedding breakfast and three amazing speeches.
After the sun had set, and the dancing was in full swing, we began to say our goodbyes, but were stopped in our tracks at the sight of the full moon. We quickly nipped outside for one last photo, and I am so glad we did, what a way to spend the end of your day, standing in the light of the full moon. It was such a romantic moment.
Incredible venues with gorgeous decor and beautiful views, stunning flower arrangements, and amazing outfits all go together to help make a wedding unforgettable, and Darcie and Paul had all of these, but for me what makes a wedding really special is the people. The love and joy for Darcie and Paul was clear to see from the faces of everyone attending, and I am not surprised at all, Darcie and Paul are two of the warmest and most wonderful people you could hope to meet. It was a joy to get to know them both and wonderful to photograph their wedding.

“The photos are absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much, we LOVE them, you’ve captured our whole day perfectly!! We had the most amazing day, everything about it was perfect and a huge part of that was having you and Nigel with us.” - Darcie and Paul.
South Causey Inn - Ashley and Michael
South Causey Inn was the perfect location for Ashley and Michael's summer wedding. With its breathtaking views of the Beamish Valley and rustic charm, it provided the perfect backdrop for their special day. I knew the day was going to be amazing right from the start, with the girls setting the tone for the day as they got ready. The room was a buzz, filled with laughter, and fun, and I loved being there to capture it all in photographs. Nigel was there also to capture the other side of things as Michael and the lads finished getting ready in the Old Barn bar, and the guests arrived for their ceremony. They tied the knot in the St Cuthbert’s Suite, surrounded by their closest friends and family. Ashley looked stunning in her elegant a-line wedding gown as she walked down the aisle on her dad’s arm to meet her groom.
After a fabulous drinks reception in the Old Barn Bar and a few pictures outside, Ashley, Michael, and their guests made their way into the Old Barn for their wedding breakfast and some really fantastic speeches. In the summer, the best light always comes towards the end of the day, so after dinner, we took advantage of the good light and made our way outside to explore the grounds of South Causey Inn. As the evening progressed, the partying started. Ashley and Michael kicked things off with their first dance as husband and wife, opening the dancefloor to everyone else, who all joined in, dancing to their favourite modern country tunes - and wow, these guys love a dance!
Ashley and Michael originally planned to get married in 2020. Two years after their original wedding date and over three since booking us, it was wonderful to finally see them make it down the aisle. It was also great to catch up with Michael’s best man Ben, and his wife Natasha whose wedding we photographed at Brinkburn Priory in 2019. If you want to see their wedding photographs, you can find them here.

“I just wanted to say how thankful we are to have you two capture our day. We honestly had the best day ever. We loved every moment. You guys are just amazing, you made us feel so relaxed and calm all day. You guys are the best!” - Ashley and Michael.
