Best Wedding Photography of 2024
2024 Wedding Photography
What a year it’s been! As we look back on 2024, we’re incredibly grateful for every couple who invited us to capture their special day, each one unique in its own way—some grand celebrations, others beautifully intimate, all filled with unforgettable moments.
We had the pleasure of working at a mix of familiar venues we love and a few new ones that quickly became favourites. From elegant indoor ceremonies to stunning outdoor vows under open skies, every wedding had its own magic. We’ve chased golden-hour light, braved the unpredictable British weather, and captured countless emotional first looks, laughter-filled speeches, and dance floors buzzing with energy.
This round-up is a celebration of every couple we photographed in 2024. It’s a collection of love stories, joyful moments, and the kind of memories that make wedding photography so special to us. As a husband-and-wife team, we know just how important these moments are, and we’re so honoured to have been part of them.
To all our couples—thank you for trusting us with your memories.
If you’re planning your wedding and are looking for natural, storytelling photography, we’d love to hear from you.
Matfen Hall - Emma and Richard
Married at Matfen Hall last summer, Emma and Richard went all out to wow their guests with spectacular visual effects. Their elegant and minimalist day took on a different tone as we progressed into the evening. A dance floor filled with dry ice created a dreamlike setting for their first dance as husband and wife, and a crowd-stopping firework display ended the day with a bang. We were even treated to a red arrows fly past!
Here's a few words from Emma...
How did you meet? How did he propose? What is your story?
'We met at work (Cooper BMW Durham). 'Richard took me back to our first holiday location in Gran Canaria and proposed on a boat in the middle of the sea before we went parasailing.'
What was the inspiration behind your wedding?
'The inspiration for our wedding was minimalistic accessories with a modern look. We wanted the wow factor so we booked dry ice for our first dance and fireworks to end the night.'
What was the most memorable or your favourite part of your wedding day?
'I loved each and every bit of our wedding... I wish we could do it all again but if I had to pick my most memorable part that would have to be our first dance. Walking down that staircase with my husband onto a floor filled with dry ice! I will never forget that feeling and how happy I was at that moment in time with all of our family and friends around us.'
Why was photography important to you and why did you choose 2tone Photography?
'We chose 2tone photography because we liked the idea of having 2 photographers on the morning of the wedding. It was very important for us to have photographs of both myself and my now husband on the morning of the wedding. When we met up with Nigel and Chrissie we instantly knew that they were the photographers for us. We felt so welcome and you could see the quality of their work how passionate and enthusiastic there job was to them! We absolutely love the photographs that you took of our day; the album and photo frames are spectacular!'
Do you have any advice for brides and grooms who are currently in the planning process?
'Get a good wedding planning book and create a spreadsheet with amounts and dates things need to be paid. Just have fun! It might feel like there is loads to sort but try not to get stressed and enjoy every bit of it as your wedding date will come around so quick!'

The Vermont Hotel - Kimberley and Alex
Nigel and I love a good winter wedding. The dark nights and the wet weather offer us a host of opportunities to be creative and really force us to think outside the box. Married last November, Kimberley and Alex's big day was one of those weddings.
After getting ready at home, they were married in the beautiful Church of St Helen's in Low Fell, Gateshead heading over to the chic 1930's art deco inspired Vermont Hotel. It's city centre location, elegance and style, and it incredible views over the river Tyne make it one of our favourite venues.
Kimberley and Alex met through their shared love of Classic American cars and in particular because of the 1965 Cadillac that Alex and Kimberley's brother restored together. It was naturally the only choice for their transport for the day and the perfect scene for a romantic picture of the couple together at the end of the day.
