Best Wedding Photography of 2024

2024 Wedding Photography

What a year it’s been! As we look back on 2024, we’re incredibly grateful for every couple who invited us to capture their special day, each one unique in its own way—some grand celebrations, others beautifully intimate, all filled with unforgettable moments.

We had the pleasure of working at a mix of familiar venues we love and a few new ones that quickly became favourites. From elegant indoor ceremonies to stunning outdoor vows under open skies, every wedding had its own magic. We’ve chased golden-hour light, braved the unpredictable British weather, and captured countless emotional first looks, laughter-filled speeches, and dance floors buzzing with energy.

This round-up is a celebration of every couple we photographed in 2024. It’s a collection of love stories, joyful moments, and the kind of memories that make wedding photography so special to us. As a husband-and-wife team, we know just how important these moments are, and we’re so honoured to have been part of them.

To all our couples—thank you for trusting us with your memories.

If you’re planning your wedding and are looking for natural, storytelling photography, we’d love to hear from you.

Best Wedding Photography of 2023

2023 Wedding Photography

As another incredible year has drawn to a close, we can’t help but reflect on the amazing weddings we’ve had the privilege of capturing. From grand stately homes to intimate countryside barns, every couple’s day has been unique, and it’s been an absolute honour to document those special moments.

This year has been filled with unforgettable highlights—stunning golden-hour portraits, emotional first looks, and those joyful, candid moments on the dance floor. We’ve seen couples brave unexpected weather with smiles on their faces, and we’ve witnessed vows exchanged in the summer sunshine. Each wedding has reminded us why we love what we do: capturing the raw, beautiful emotions that make each celebration so special.

A huge thank you to all the wonderful couples who entrusted us with their memories. Your laughter, tears, and love have been a joy to photograph, and we are incredibly grateful to have played a small part in your big day.

If you’re planning your wedding and are looking for natural, storytelling photography, we’d love to hear from you. Here’s to another year of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories!

Best Wedding Photography of 2022

So it’s that time of year again, time to share with you what we feel is our best work of 2022, and where do I even start?  I think the best place to begin is to say a huge thank you to all of our couples who trusted us to capture their wedding day memories.  It is the biggest joy being a part of your special days.  I love looking back at your pictures, seeing familiar faces again, and remembering all the fun we had together.  Thank you to each and every one of you, from the bottom of our hearts.

2022 was another very busy year for us, with 82 wonderful weddings, each completely unique and utterly memorable in its own way.  Due to the pandemic, postponements from 2020 and 2021 made up around a third of our work, on top of what was already a busy year.  We gave each wedding our all, and I am so proud of the work that we have produced.  It’s safe to say that this year (2023) will not be nearly so busy - it’s time now to get back to normal! 

During our 17 years of photographing weddings around the North East, we have worked at most of the region’s wedding venues, however, it has been wonderful to discover a host of new venues for the first time, including The Spanish City, Anarchy Brewery, Thief Hall, Bradbury Glade, and Shortflatt Tower.  It was also wonderful to be back again at many regular haunts such as Healey Barn, Beamish Hall, Newton Hall, Wynyard Hall, Ellingham Hall, South Causey Inn, and Le Petit Chateau.  

So, let’s get on with it!  Here is our ‘best of 2022.’  If you would like to see our previous “best of” collections, you can find them here.  If you like what you see, and are looking for a wedding photographer for your wedding, please don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your big day, we’d love to hear from you.

Best of 2021

Well, 2021 has been and gone, and seemingly was the quickest year on record!  With the ongoing covid chaos, weddings were pretty much banned for the first five months but were eventually allowed to begin again in May.  Since then, we photographed small weddings with just a handful of guests and huge all-out wedding celebrations.  We finally photographed the weddings of several couples who now feel like old friends after moving through several postponements, and we have celebrated along with couples who chose to have not one, but two wedding days.  

To be quite honest, the year was a bit of a rollercoaster - physically and mentally.  With so many couples postponing from 2020 and early 2021, along with our couples who had already secured dates for 2021, we stopped taking new bookings for prime dates fairly early, but still, we knew it was going to be full-on.  We photographed 68 wonderful weddings throughout the year, most of which took place in the latter 7 months.  We lived as hermits to stay safe and healthy so as not to have to let anyone down, we worked our socks off to keep up with editing and album designs, and social media and blogging pretty much went out of the window.  It hasn’t been the easiest, but we survived!

After everything that we went through in 2020 and early 2021, the utter joy of being able to get together once again, to hug loved ones, to party the night away together, and to actually finally be able to get married has given us so many pure, raw, and wonderful moments to photograph.  It has been a joy looking back at these moments through the wedding photographs that we have taken.

Thank you to our amazing 2021 couples, their families and their friends for having us along.  We say this every year, but it’s never been more true.  The journey that we have been on together will always remain with us.  It has been an absolute joy and pleasure to document your wedding days.

Best of 2020

So here we are, at the end of the craziest, most challenging year in modern memory. Most of us had a hard time adjusting to the ‘new normal’ of living during a pandemic, and along with so many others, our business was greatly impacted. Wedding dates changed and changed again, weddings were cancelled, postponed, or went micro, but we worked when restrictions allowed and we are so thankful to those couples who went ahead with their plans despite all the challenges and obstacles.

One thing that I did love about 2020 was learning to notice the joy in the little things. I baked, spent so much time working in the garden, and read lots and lots of books. (Everything from Dickens to the Witcher!) I edited all of our family pictures going back to 2006 - then designed an album for each year and yes, we also homeschooled - I really hope we will never have to do that again!

Despite all the heartbreak and worry that the year brought, we still feel ourselves very fortunate to have photographed twelve wonderful weddings in 2020 and we are so happy that we can still share with you this roundup of our best of 2020 wedding photography.

Best of 2018

So once again, we are at that time of year, the start of 2019, looking forward to what are sure to be some pretty amazing weddings, but what a year 2018 turned out to be!

365 days gone in the blink of an eye, left us with some fantastic memories of travel and exploration in the Canadian Rockies, precious family time with our little ones, Charlie and Emilia who are our constant inspiration, not to mention of course the amazing weddings that we have attended and photographed.   Everyday, we are so thankful to be able to work together, doing something that we both love for a living, and after nearly 14 years, we still have to pinch ourselves that this is our reality.   

We want to say a massive thank you to the 60 couples who in 2018 put their trust and faith in us to capture their wedding days.  Working with every single one of you has been a joy.  To your friends and family who welcomed us with open arms and to all of the suppliers who helped those weddings flow so smoothly.  We hope that the images that we have created will help your memories last a lifetime.

We also want to extend a hand and thank those people from some pretty amazing wedding venues across the North East region who have continued to support us.  Wynyard Hall, Healey Barn, Lartington Hall, Beamish Hall, Matfen Hall, Seaham Hall, Durham Castle, the Parlour at Blagdon, and Eshott Hall along with new friends at the Yorkshire Wedding Barn, Ormsby Hall, the Hilton Hotel and the Spanish City in Whitley Bay.  

I have one more thank you to give - and a pretty important one it is.  To our amazing children, Charlie and Emilia, who very graciously and gladly welcome our wedding couples into our home with smiles and a happy disposition, who never complain about giving up their Mum and Dad over weekends, and to their grandparents who are a godsend, without their help and constant support, I’m not sure where we would be right now.

So now we are into 2019.  There is a lot to look forward to - a new series of Game of Thrones, hopefully a new Outlander novel (Chrissie’s done waiting) more family travel, and a diary filled with what are sure to be some incredible weddings.  To our 2019 couples, thank you to you all, we look forward in anticipation to the working with you on one of the biggest days of your lives!

So here we go, a selection of some of our favourite images from the past year - our 2018 roundup!
