Le Petit Chateau - Laura and Dean

In May, we found ourselves back at Le Petit Chateau, a gorgeous wedding venue in the pretty village of Otterburn in Northumberland, for Laura and Dean’s wedding. They’d told us beforehand that they were going to be nervous in front of the camera, but honestly, you wouldn’t have known it, they were amazing! They were such a fun couple to work with, full of energy and life, and clearly crazy about each other. The guests got on board with the fun vibe of the day too, from Dean’s best man, who when asked during the ceremony for the ring, produced a ring pop, to the flower girl and page boy dancing in the aisle while they signed the register. Their parents even saw the fun of it all and pulled some crazy poses during the family photos. It’s a long post today, but make sure you get to the bottom, the pictures of the flower girl and page boy dancing together after the first dance are adorable!

If you're planning your own wedding at Le Petit Chateau, and are looking for a wedding photographer, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

“I just wanted to say a big thank you to both of you. You both made our day even better. We felt so much calmer and less nervous about being photographed and even helped with things we wouldn’t have thought about on the day. So thank you both so much!” - Laura and Dean.

Le Petit Chateau - Laura and Daniel

We were back up to the pretty village of Otterburn in Northumberland for Laura and Daniel’s wedding at Le Petit Chateau. We first met Daniel when we photographed his sister Lucy’s wedding at the Vermont Hotel in Newcastle back in 2017, and when he and Laura got in touch and asked us to photograph their big day, we were overjoyed. Laura looked stunning in her ballgown-style wedding dress as she walked down the aisle with her dad. Halfway down, she took her Grandad’s hand and he walked with them the rest of the way. It was clear to see how much that moment meant to him. The rest of the day continued with drinks outside, a few photos in the stunning Mediterranean-inspired gardens of Le Petit Chateau, and then some fabulous speeches before their meal. It was wonderful to be a small part of their fantastic day.

“We just wanted to say a massive thank you for yesterday! We’ve both been saying how amazing you were and we can’t wait to see the pictures!” - Laura and Daniel

“I’m crying! I absolutely love them all so much!!!! It feels so surreal still that they’re our photos, they’re absolutely stunning. Thank you so so so much!!! I’m lost for words xx” - Laura.

Le Petit Chateau - Rebecca and Elliott

“Thank you for capturing our special day! The both of you make a fantastic team and we consider ourselves very lucky to have had you as our photographer. A special thanks to Chrissie for helping with bridal preparations on the morning and for keeping all the girls calm and organised on the day. Thank you also to Nigel for staying so late into the evening to capture those extra shots. Thank you to both of you for being patient with both our families for the group photos we can’t wait to see how these turn out. Once again, thank you for having such a huge impact on our day. It would not have been the same without you there! Best wishes, Mr & Mrs Cornwell / Elliot & Becky”

“We have had a look through and they are absolutely perfect - it was like reliving the day. You truly are the best in the business!”

Rebecca and Elliott are two of the warmest and most welcoming people you could hope to meet, and it was a joy to capture their wedding day memories. They were married in October at their local church, St John’s in Westerhope. The heavens opened just before their wedding ceremony however, thankfully it cleared up as we made our way up to their reception venue, Le Petit Chateau in Northumberland. It was a little nippy in the air, it was October after all, but no one seemed to mind as they enjoyed their drinks reception in the stunning grounds of the chateau. Le Petit Chateau is one of our local venues who also are happy to invite guests of the four-legged variety, so it was also lovely to get to know their gorgeous little French Bulldog, Lily - and she totally stole my heart!

It was a fabulous day with a fabulous group of people who we look forward to seeing again in 2024 for bridesmaid Laura’s wedding!

Le Petit Chateau - Lauren and Paul

“Both me and Paul cannot put into words just how amazing these photographs are. They are just perfect and everything we wanted and more! Such a beautiful day and brilliant memories to cherish for ever. We can’t thank you enough - you both were able to capture everything we wanted, and everyone looks so beautiful and happy. A huge, huge thank you for our beautiful photos!“ - Lauren and Paul

A gorgeously sunny day, a beautiful bride, a handsome groom and a whole lot of guests ready for a party, what more could you want for a wedding day? Lauren and Paul’s awesome wedding day at Le Petit Chateau in Otterburn was certainly one to remember.
