An Old Barn Wedding at the South Causey Inn - Gemma and Cain

We first met Gemma and Cain when Gemma was a bridesmaid at her cousin Sarah’s wedding earlier in the year, and we just clicked, so when they got in touch to say that they were getting married and that they wanted us to be their photographers, we were thrilled. Gemma and Cain’s big day at the South Causey Inn Old Barn quickly came around and it was such a fun day to photograph, full of laughs and good times. From dodging rain showers to crazy dancing on the dancefloor, it certainly was a day I won’t forget in a hurry.

Here is their day from our point of view.

South Causey Inn - Darcie and Paul

In October, we were back at South Causey Inn in County Durham for Darcie and Paul’s wonderful wedding day. It was one of those perfect autumn days, with clear skies and crisp autumn air, and it could not have been more perfect for their wedding.

Surrounded by their nearest and dearest, Darcie and Paul exchanged vows in the St Cuthbert’s suite, afterwards moving outside with their guests to enjoy the glorious weather and the stunning views of the Beamish Valley. After a bit of confetti and a few photo’s in the grounds, they all headed back inside to the Old Barn for their wedding breakfast and three amazing speeches.

After the sun had set, and the dancing was in full swing, we began to say our goodbyes, but were stopped in our tracks at the sight of the full moon. We quickly nipped outside for one last photo, and I am so glad we did, what a way to spend the end of your day, standing in the light of the full moon. It was such a romantic moment.

Incredible venues with gorgeous decor and beautiful views, stunning flower arrangements, and amazing outfits all go together to help make a wedding unforgettable, and Darcie and Paul had all of these, but for me what makes a wedding really special is the people. The love and joy for Darcie and Paul was clear to see from the faces of everyone attending, and I am not surprised at all, Darcie and Paul are two of the warmest and most wonderful people you could hope to meet. It was a joy to get to know them both and wonderful to photograph their wedding.

“The photos are absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much, we LOVE them, you’ve captured our whole day perfectly!! We had the most amazing day, everything about it was perfect and a huge part of that was having you and Nigel with us.” - Darcie and Paul.

South Causey Inn - Lauren and Daniel

South Causey Inn is such a versatile wedding venue, with several different options to choose from for your ceremony and celebrations, all fabulously decorated, and with stunning views of the Beamish Valley. Lauren and Daniel chose the Old Barn for their wedding day. Spring had finally sprung and everything was looking green and fresh again. The sun was out, and there was barely a cloud in the sky. Lauren and her girls got ready in the Pamper Room, while the lads were in one of the courtyard rooms. After their ceremony, and a few drinks with their guests in the Old Barn bar, we all headed out to enjoy the glorious weather. We even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to the lake before they sat for their meal. It was a fun day with a great couple.

South Causey Inn - Danielle and Lee

“Wow, we love the photos and it feels like we have relived our wedding. We can't thank you enough, they are just what we wanted - so many natural photos!”

Danielle and Lee had planned for a summer wedding in 2020, but, like it did so many others, the pandemic scuppered their plans and they had to postpone. With 2021 dates going so fast, they struggled to find a day that both the venue and registrar were available for, but finally, they secured a date in November and a ceremony time of 3.30pm. We knew we were in for a bit of a challenge with only 10 minutes of daylight after their wedding ceremony to photograph family photos and a few portraits but with their awesome wedding guests on board, we did it!

They were married in the Tanfield Suite at South Causey inn, moving to the Cobbles Bar to celebrate with their family and friends, following on with a wedding breakfast and evening party in the Durham Suite. It was a fabulous day with a relaxed vibe and was great fun to photograph.
