Le Petit Chateau - Corrin and David

We visited Le Petit Chateau in Otterburn, Northumberland for the first time for Corrin and David wedding last october. The cute and quirky setting of the chateau, along with the stunning natural colours of autumn supplied us with so many visual treats, along with a fabulously laid back couple who wanted nothing more than to spend their day relaxing with friends and family, and each other, enjoying their informal wedding celebrations. Tiny Tim was the host with the most. He joked, 'what was a Welsh man doing wearing a kilt in a French styled venue in Northumberland'! He kept the pace of the day fast and fun, and made sure that everyone, including us, was well cared for.

It was a fantastic day, with energy in abundance and for our first time at Le Petit Chateau, it will be a hard one to beat!

Beamish Hall - Joanne and Steve

Showers in the morning, crazy wind during their drinks reception, and some beautiful summer sun later, which made for some amazing portraits. It was a day for fun and cheer, filled with love and wonderful moments and a joy to attend.

The Yorkshire Wedding Barn - Sarah and Bill

They say, it's good luck to rain on your wedding day... So often this is said to as a little consolation to the bride and groom who dreamed of an outdoor wedding ceremony that wasn't to be, however for Sarah and Bill who were married in the Yorkshire wedding barn in October, perhaps the old saying rang a truth as the day could not have gone better.

The sky's opened and it poured down just as the bride was about to walk down the aisle. The rain pummelled on the canopy with a constant roar and the water poured off of the canvas in sheets. Sarah looked stunning and elated as she walked from the barn, a ceiling of brolly's surrounding her to her outdoor ceremony. Her infectious happiness spread throughout the entire place and did not stop for the rest of day.

The wedding ceremony went ahead in not exactly the way the had both envisioned before hand but with the help of some good spirited groomsmen and their brollies and a great team at the barn it could not have gone more smoothly. The bride and groom, both lovers of the outdoors embraced the weather and and made it a part of their perfect day.

It was a fantastic day with a really wonderful couple full of life and energy married in a stunning countryside setting. I was so happy that our first visit to the Yorkshire wedding barn was for Sarah and Bill's unforgettable wedding day.

The Ramside Hall - Sarah and Stuart

Sarah looked picture perfect as she walked down the aisle of St Josephs church in Stanley to be married to Stuart in July this year. The ceremony was beautifully traditional and was attended by all of their family and friends. After having spent some time with their guests after the ceremony, we all headed over to the Ramside Hall near Durham for their wedding reception. The Bishops suite was dressed to impress for their wedding breakfast back lit by the stunning giant light up letters reading their names supplied by the fab Coco Luminaire. As a surprise to the groom, Sarah splashed out on the brand new bridal suite, the Celebration suite for the pair of them to enjoy for a few days following the weddings so after the meal the four of us headed upstairs for a few photographs. To say I was impressed with the room would be understatement, it's stunning decor and mood lighting created a wonderful atmosphere and was ideal for a short portrait shoot. The evening began with the traditional first dance, however Sarah and Stuart surprised and enthralled their guests with a fabulous choreographed first dance which was followed by a special moment for the bride and her dad on the dance floor.

Here are a few of my favourite images from their day.

Guyzance Hall - Laurie and Gavin

Laurie and Gavin’s wedding day was filled with the essence of summer. The sun shone for the happy couple all day. The bride’s beautiful bouquet was filled with summer time colour, pale pinks, blues and purples, the bridesmaids were dressed in brightly coloured floral dresses - each carrying a simple bouquet of Gypsophila and the plaid waistcoats for the men created a more relaxed feel to their attire. Perfect for this great couple who wanted to enjoy their day in a relaxed manner, spending time with their guests and enjoying the grounds of the Hall.

Our paths first crossed back in 2010 when we photographed Gavin’s sister Rebecca’s wedding to Chris at Longhirst Hall. Even after all of this time, Laurie and Gavin remembered us and asked us to join them on their own big day. It was an honour to photograph for their family once again.

Laurie and Gavin chose to be wed at the beautiful Guyzance Hall in Northumberland. The carefully planted gardens were in full bloom and the scenery was simply stunning. Laurie’s hair was styled by her personal friend and talented hair stylist, Victoria Noble whose own wedding we are really looking forward to photographing later this year at the Blagdon Parlour. Laurie wore a vintage inspired silk and lace wedding dress with a vintage styled hairpiece. The bridesmaids put a huge amount of thought into the gifts that they chose to give to the bride, a home made memory scrapbook filled with photographs of fun times together and four additional gifts, one each for the old poem, 'Something old, Something new, something borrowed and something blue'. In memory of her mother, Laurie tied a locket with a photograph onto the stems of her bouquet and a memorial balloon release was arranged for everyone to take part in after the wedding meal. For the guests after the meal, Laurie and Gavin arranged for Scoops and Smiles to bring their ice cream van ‘Millie’ up to Guyzance Hall, a caricaturist creating funny portraits of each of the guests and a hog road for the evening. It was great to work alongside Danny from ‘Shoot me now’ wedding films and Jess Avison from AMV providing the music.

It was an amazingly fun day filled with happiness, love and sentiment. We loved every moment of it!
