Healey Barn - Brooke and Calum

In December, Brooke and Calum became Mr. and Mrs. in a beautiful wedding at Healey Barn. Nigel met Calum and the lads as they got ready at Derwent Manor, while I went to see Brook and the girls at the Newlands Lodges near Shotley Bridge. Brooke looked stunning in her elegant lace gown, complemented by her bridesmaids in neutral shades, and their Yorkshire Terrier, Ruby, who was dressed to the nines and stole the show with her cuteness.

Their ceremony was held in the candlelit stone barn at Healey Barn, which was filled with beautiful floral displays featuring white roses, pinecones, and pampas grass, The magnificent Christmas tree at the entrance to the barn added a touch of seasonal magic. After the ceremony and a few drinks with their guests, Brooke and Calum joined us outside to capture some shots within the grounds of Healey Barn, and in the surrounding woods.

It was a wonderful day from start to finish - from the emotional ceremony to the surprise performance by singing waiters, and right through to the end of the day as the guests were partying the night away. We loved every moment of photographing it.

We wish the happy couple a lifetime of love and happiness.

“Thank you so much for the amazing photos, they are fabulous, memories to last a lifetime! Thanks again for being so amazing and playing a huge part in our special day! We absolutely love our beautiful photos.” - Brooke and Callum.

Shortflatt Tower - Ashley and Tom

In September, we drove up to Belsay and to Shortflatt tower for Ashley and Tom’s wedding. Shortflatt Tower is a stunning venue for a wedding, and the early signs of Autumn, with the trees beginning to change colour, made it even more so.

Ashley and Tom exchanged vows surrounded by their closest family and friends in the Woodland Suite, with stunning panoramic views of the woodland around them, before heading outside to enjoy the stunning grounds of the estate for their drinks reception and pictures. They continued their celebrations by heading back to the woodland suite, which was now fully opened up and made a fabulous space for a party.

As the sun began to set, the sky turned a beautiful blue/orange hue, so we headed up the road to Bowlam Lake for a few pictures. Ashley and Tom looked amazing with the woodland and lake behind them, and the sun casting a warm glow over the water. The swans even popped by to say hello.

It was a wonderful day with a wonderful couple and we were honoured to have been there to capture it all in pictures.

Bamburgh - Hannah and Jack

We drove up the coast to Bamburgh for Hannah and Jack’s festival-style wedding. They were married in the beautiful St Aidan’s church, walking afterward to the next-door field where they had hired and pitched three large tipi‘s. I loved their attention to detail, with their homemade bunting and macrame decorations, personalised event wristbands, and street food vans. After a bit of celebrating, and a bit of food, we kicked off our shoes and took a walk on the beach, and considering their wedding was on a Saturday in the summer, we were so lucky to have a nearly empty beach, with of course those iconic views of Bamburgh Castle.

“We have just got back from our mini-moon and would just like to say thank you so much. We haven’t been able to stop talking about our day and how much we enjoyed it. You guys played a massive part in it. We absolutely love the pictures, thank you so much! “ - Hannah and Jack

Matfen Hall - Sarah and Mark

Matfen Hall is a fabulous location for a wedding. It is a stunning Northumberland wedding venue with beautiful gardens, a magnificent great hall, a huge sweeping staircase, and views of the countryside that go on as far as the eye can see. It was the perfect place for Sarah and Mark’s relaxed yet traditional wedding. They were married in the Great Hall, after which, they and their guests headed outside to celebrate with drinks and lawn games. After a few pictures in the stunning grounds, they all headed inside to the Morning Room for some great speeches and a meal together, before dancing the night away. It was a fabulous day with a great couple, and we were so happy to have been a small part of it.

“Can I just start by saying the photos are absolutely fantastic! The confetti shots are all amazing and the couples shots of Mark and I are beautiful. We really love your more arty shots which are just something different and so cleverly done. I have to say we had great fun playing 'spot the photographer' particularly for the ceremony pics because you guys must secretly be ninjas to not appear in each other’s shots! Thank you for agreeing to be our photographers and for everything you have done to capture our day. We couldn't be happier with the photos you have produced.“ - Sarah and Mark.
