Lumley Castle - Amy and Craig
Earlier in the year we both found ourselves at Lumley Castle in Chester le Street for Amy and Craig's romantic summer wedding. They were married in the Scarborough Suite after which enjoyed a wedding breakfast with their family and friends in the Barons Hall. Here are a few of their images from their big day.
The Vermont Hotel - Kimberley and Alex
Nigel and I love a good winter wedding. The dark nights and the wet weather offer us a host of opportunities to be creative and really force us to think outside the box. Married last November, Kimberley and Alex's big day was one of those weddings.
After getting ready at home, they were married in the beautiful Church of St Helen's in Low Fell, Gateshead heading over to the chic 1930's art deco inspired Vermont Hotel. It's city centre location, elegance and style, and it incredible views over the river Tyne make it one of our favourite venues.
Kimberley and Alex met through their shared love of Classic American cars and in particular because of the 1965 Cadillac that Alex and Kimberley's brother restored together. It was naturally the only choice for their transport for the day and the perfect scene for a romantic picture of the couple together at the end of the day.
Matfen Hall - Rachel and Elliott
Rachel and Elliott chose to be married at the fabulous Matfen Hall last October. They travelled all the way from Surrey to say their vows surrounded by only their closest family and friends in the hall's impressive gothic great hall. Escorted by her mum, Rachel looked stunning as she made her grand entrance down the sweeping staircase in her Justin Alexander a lace fishtail wedding gown.
Their classical and timeless wedding day was a joy to attend and an honour to photograph. Here are a few on the images from their big day.
Garden marquee wedding at Newton Hall - Sarah and Clifford
Sarah and Clifford, well what can I say about these two? It has to simply be fabulously fun and a laugh a minute. It was a joy to photograph their special day last summer in Northumberland.
Sarah was lead down the aisle of St Michael's church in Alnwick by their two very cute little boys dressed in straw boaters and carrying signs and their daughter looking every bit the young lady. After the ceremony, they all jumped into their wedding car to head down to Newton Hall. Not the same Newton Hall that you may have already heard of, this Newton Hall is located in Newton on the Moor and is owned by a close friend of theirs who had agreed to allow them to set up a huge marquee on the grounds. The American flag hoisted up onto the flag pole was a nod to the time that they both spent living in New York and the place that they first met. It was a fantastic day, seriously fun and a privilege to be a part of.
