Jesmond Dene House - Danielle and Craig

Jesmond Dene House in Newcastle is a stunning wedding venue and was the perfect setting for Danielle and Craig's special day. They exchanged vows in the Great Hall in front of their closest friends and family, after which, they all headed outside to enjoy the grounds and celebrate the marriage. The speeches were a real highlight of the day, with the best man delivering a hilarious speech that had everyone in stitches. The groom’s speech was also fantastic, sharing funny moments that they had shared together along with a lovely tribute to his bride. After their speeches, Danielle and Craig played a game of Mr and Mrs, which was also a fun moment, revealing how well they knew each other. After dinner, the four of us headed out for some photos in the beautiful surroundings of Jesmond Dene. The waterfall and bridge provided a stunning backdrop as the sun started to set, casting a golden glow over the happy couple.

It was a wonderful day with a great couple, and so much fun to photograph.

“What an amazing surprise during our honeymoon. We sat by the bar with Craig’s tablet at 2 pm and went through them all. We cried our eyes out and laughed our heads off, it was a very raw and emotional afternoon. They are just absolutely incredible. We want to say a massive thank you to you both for playing such an integral part in our big day and capturing the most incredible photos. We are absolutely over the moon with all the images you have captured.“ - Danielle and Craig.

Jesmond Dene House - Clare and James

Jesmond Dene House is definitely worth a look if you are looking for a wedding venue that has city amenities and easy transport links close by but all the wow factor of a country house. Situated minutes away from the centre of Newcastle, Jesmond Dene House has all the luxury of a top boutique hotel, surrounded by trees and open space, and just a short walk away, everything that Jesmond Dene has to offer.

With guests coming from far and wide, Clare and James decided that Jesmond Dene House was the perfect place for their wedding. James and the lads got ready at Jesmond Dene House while Clare and her bridesmaids got ready at her parent’s home. Clare’s bridesmaids looked beautiful in their navy dresses with contrasting white and blush bouquets, but not more so than Clare herself who wore a stunning v-neck wedding gown with a softly flowing skirt. I adored Clare’s dress, it was classic and elegant, and beautifully cut, and it couldn’t have been more perfect for her.

After their ceremony, which included a really funny reading by James’ dad about two lovely dinosaurs, they all headed outside for drinks, lawn games, and some great magic, performed by magician Martin Duffy, before taking their seats back in the Great hall to listen to some great speeches and share a meal together.

We know from experience that in the summer months, the light is always better after dinner for pictures of just the two of them. With the sun lower in the sky, the light is softer and takes a golden hue, so after dinner, the four of us took a walk down to the Dene for some pictures with the waterfall and bridge. I am so pleased that we waited, the pictures speak for themselves - the light was magical!

We met Clare and James way back in 2017 at her sister Lizzie’s wedding at Healey Barn. It was wonderful to spend more time with her family and catch up with Lizzie and Alessio. Clare and James are two of the most wonderful people you could hope to meet, and so clearly made for each other. Their wedding was wonderful in every way and it was a joy to photograph.

Thank you so much again, we are so pleased with them!” - Clare and James.

Jesmond Dene House - Lisa and Anthony

The gothic great hall of Jesmond Dene House in Newcastle along with entire west wing of the elegant arts and crafts style building became the setting for Lisa and Anth's beautiful wedding last summer.  It was a day of fun and laughter and a joy to be a part of.   

Lisa and Anth chose some fantastic decorations for their big day, the carnival light up love letters from Coco Luminaire made for a fantastic addition to the ceremony creating a striking contract against the dark wood panels of the hall, and we loved the giant balloons adorning the aisle.  Balloons have not been popular at weddings for a few years but perhaps they are making a comeback - they looked amazing and so stylish!  Handmade bunting was strung across the west wing arched entrance and the decorated apple carts and wooden table centres were made by the groom himself.

Here are a few of our favourites from the day...
