Wynyard Hall - Rachel and Mark
Rachel and Marks wedding day last summer was such a treat for the eyes. Set in the stunning Wynyard Hall in the Tees Valley, their day was filled with pretty details, elegance and style. The boys opted to wear black tie for the occasion, while the girls chose pretty pastel shades, lace and delicate florals. Their beautiful wedding cereony in the Brooks Chapel, within the Wynyard Hall estate was followed by a wedding breakfast in the hall's grand ballroom. The walled garden made the perfect location for an after dinner stroll before they welcomed their evening guests for the evening do. It was wonderful to work with this great couple and a joy to be a part of their special day.
Here are a selection of their wedding images.
Wynyard Hall - Vicky and Tom
Wynyard Hall's grand pillars, state rooms, ornamental lake and private chapel make it one of the most admired buildings and one of the most sought after wedding venues in the uk. It is always fantastic to photograph here and so it was great to return once again to photograph Vicky and Tom' big day last August.
Their love for one another was clear, Tom overcome with emotion could not take his eyes off of his beautiful new wife and she beamed with happiness the whole entire day. Vicky and her girls enjoyed a morning of relaxing and pampering in the hall's own beauty salon the Reef before they got dressed for the big day while Tom and the boys met Nigel in the Wellington bar for a few getting ready shots and pre wedding drinks. They were made man and wife in the charming Brooks Chapel, located within the estate of Wynyard Hall before heading outside. After much celebration on the terrace, canapés eaten and the string quartet listened to, they all headed inside to dine in the magnificent ballroom.
It was a fantastically fun day with a great couple and a great crowd. It was a pleasure as always to work along side Paul Lytton the Magician, Coco Luminaire supplying the light up letters and of course the fab team at Wynyard Hall.
Newton under Roseberry - Laurie and Andrew
It all began when outdoor loving Andrew and Laurie took a walk together to the picturesque Roseberry Topping in North Yorkshire. Andrew carefully chose the perfect spot and proposed to his bride. The wedding planning began with one thing for certain; there was no doubt in their minds that they would be married in sight of the famous hill.
As soon as they had set eyes on St Oswin’s Church in Newton under Roseberry, they knew that it was perfect for them. A pretty countryside church in a picture postcard village right underneath the Topping, and the village green just down the road was perfect for a few pictures.
Nigel and I were delighted when they both got in touch to ask if we would photograph their big day and what a day it was. The church was simply stunning, made even better with the wonderfully welcoming Rev. Paul Peverell (Rev Pev) taking the ceremony and adding in extra entertainment for the kids. A ventriloquist dummy dressed as a bride, bubbles and magic tricks all made an appearance in his clever and entertaining sermon.
A perfectly timed gust of wind during the confetti created a spectacular effect and made a wonderful send off for the bride and groom before a quick pit stop for a few pictures on the village green.
Nigel jumped on the vintage double decker bus with the bride and groom and their guests and we all made a move to their reception. Ingleby Greenhow village hall, looked amazing decorated with coloured bunting strung from the ceiling, loosely tied flower arrangements in mason jars as table centrepieces and the focal point, a stunning home made wedding cake (yes – home made!!) I also can't finish this post without mentioning the outdoor pizza ovens for the evening guests, my word the pizza tasted good!
It was a fabulous day with amazing people and a setting to die for. We loved every moment.
