Eshott Hall - Emma and Tom
Eshott Hall is just about one of my favourite venues. I adore the classic architecture, the traditional but fresh interior design, the surrounding landscaped gardens and woodland leading out towards the beautiful Northumberland countryside which extends as far as the eye can see. It made the perfect venue for Emma and Tom on their wedding day earlier this year.
We first met Emma when she was a bridesmaid for her sister Sally and husband Andrew a few years back. It was wonderful to be invited again to capture another day in photographs for this kindhearted and wonderful family. Emma and Tom decided to tie the knot in Eshott Hall's intimate reading room just a short walk from the hall before heading back for their outdoor drinks reception. It was a wonderfully relaxed wedding day and a joy to be a part of. Here are the pictures.

Horton Grange - Danielle and Daniel
We first met Danielle when we photographed her sister's wedding at Linden Hall in 2014 after she in turn was recommended to us from another friend. We felt like we already knew them so well when it was their turn to be married earlier this year. They were married in the stunning St Aidan's RC church in their home town of Ashington and chose the intimate setting of Horton Grange, situated close to Ponteland for their wedding reception.
Everything was simply beautiful, Danielle's stunningly vibrant bouquet, the delicately arranged table details and the array of fairylights strung up into the trees outside the venue really were something to remember. Here are a few of our favourite images from their wedding day.
Horton Grange - Joanne and Liam
This weekend will see Nigel and I at Horton Grange photographing for Danielle and Daniel so while we get ready for the big event, I though it would be nice to take a look back to the last time we were there.
It had been some years since our previous visit to Horton Grange and so it was wonderful to revisit to capture Joanne and Liam's wedding day last October - to look at the place with new eyes and to be re-inspired by this lovely wedding venue.
Joanne and Liam chose to keep their wedding ceremony very intimate, with only their closet family and friends present with the rest of their loved ones joining them a little later for their wedding breakfast and evening party. The couple's portraits were very important to them so they gave us lots of time to photograph them together throughout the venue and grounds before we left them a little earlier than normal to party the night away. We loved every moment photographing for this great couple.
Here are a few from their day...
