Matfen Hall - Laura and Paul
It's been far too long since I last posted. Nigel and I have been busy all year long, photographing some incredible weddings, and I can't wait to show you them. All the way back in April, we were very fortunate to photograph Laura and Paul's elegant wedding at Matfen Hall in Northumberland. The sun shone, the atmosphere was fantastic, and all in all it was a really unforgettable day.
Laura and Paul chose some amazing suppliers for their wedding day. It was great to work alongside Lisa Jones (Hair and make up), Coco Luminaire (light up letters), Snaparazzi photobooths, and Jason Issacs for the evening entertainment.
Here are some of our favourite shots from Laura and Paul's wedding at Matfen Hall.
Wynyard Hall - Lizzie and Alan
Lizzie and Alan's wedding day was a thing of beauty. The weather was nothing out of the ordinary, flat but dry, a little overcast and perhaps not as sunny as you might hope for in the month of July but everything this about this wedding was perfect. A wonderful couple, kind hearted and so much in love, a stunning venue, pretty details and a fantastic crowd to help them celebrate. The things that made this wedding truly beautiful was the moments, and moments between moments, the love for this couple plain to see from their family and friends, their love for one another, sweet and gentle and everlasting. A surprise for the groom in the form of a favourite song played in the statue gallery resulting in an impromptu first dance, a perfectly timed gust of wind catching the veil, a private short walk alone and a gallant groom carrying his new wife to save her shoes from getting dirty. Even silly selfie sticks and ice cream after dinner for all along and fun photo ops found their way perfectly into the day. The groom's liking for Marvel and the character, the Flash led the way for Nigel to create a groom's portrait using flash of course, making him look like his own kind of super hero. It was most certainly a day to remember.
It was wonderful to work alongside such a talented group of people for Lizzie and Alan's wedding day. Janet and Chris from One Digital Image capturing their wedding video, Jess Avison from AMV playing the acoustic guitar, Marissa Bennett make up, Scoops and smiles supplying the ice cream, the Ultimate wedding DJ, Sara's Kitchen who supplied the cake and dessert bar, Silver Birch for the stationary, and not forgetting the amazing team at Wynyard Hall.
We along with Lizzie and Alan were delighted when Wynyard Hall requested to use the image above for the front cover of their latest wedding brochure, for their website, magazine advertisements and for their latest wedding fair banner. I have to say, it looks pretty amazing and it seems for now that Lizzie and Alan have become the faces of Wynyard Hall. Pretty cool huh!
Here's the pictures!
Wynyard Hall - Danielle and Phillip
It was a pleasure to return to the magnificent Wynyard Hall for Danielle and Phillip's late spring time wedding. They chose to be married in Wynyard Hall's beautiful Mirror room moving over to the Ballroom for their wedding breakfast and the conservatory for their evening reception.
It was a treat to once again work along side our friends, Janet and Chris from One Digital Image wedding videos as well of course as the fab team at Wynyard Hall.
Congratulations to Danielle and Phillip, wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness.
Wynyard Hall - Lauren and Mark
Lauren and Marks elegant wedding day at Wynyard Hall was a real treat to photograph. It involved two beautiful wedding dresses, a vintage diamond tiara given to the bride from her father, designer wedding shoes, the most incredible wedding cake I have ever seen with it's own flower arch and a stunning venue, Wynyard Hall in the Tees Valley. Their choice of colour theme, in pale gold reflected the elegance of the occasion and suited the venue perfectly. The whole day was a treat for the eyes.
The wedding ceremony took place in Wynyard Hall's chapel, moving on to the Statue Gallery for a drinks reception and the Winter Gardens for their wedding breakfast and evening reception.
Here are a few of the best from the day.
