Wynyard Hall - Melissa and Matthew
“Matt and I just wanted to say, thank you so much for the amazing job you did at our wedding! Not only did you take fantastic photos, you also helped us out so much with getting ready and getting through the day. You were both incredible and it is easy to see that you both love your jobs!! Thank you so much for the amazing photos - we absolutely love them!!!”
Wynyard Hall in the Tees Valley was the perfect setting for Melissa and Matthew’s wedding day in July. Their day was filled with pretty details, elegance and style. The boys opted to wear smart navy suits for the occasion, while the girls chose a pretty coral shade, lace and coordinating florals. Their wedding ceremony in the Brooks Chapel within the Wynyard Hall estate was followed by a wedding breakfast in the hall's grand ballroom, heading over to the hall’s large conservatory for a bit of a dance!
Wynyard Hall - Louise and Chris
I am not quite sure that I have ever seen a bride more besotted with her wedding dress. Louise looked a vision as she laughed - spinning in circles, enjoying and admiring it from every angle before heading down the great spiral staircase to marry the man of her dreams. She and Chris were wed in Wynyard Hall’s stunning Brooks chapel earlier this year.
Louise and Chris are energy personified. Outgoing and fun, they are two people who love a good party - (well who doesn’t?) They have a taste for the finer things in life, impeccably organised, kind and warm hearted. They are a perfectly balanced pair. Together they planned, and surprised their guests throughout their day, from a rousing sing along during the ceremony, to a little bit of dancing on the tables during the wedding breakfast, and to end the day, a full on Ibiza style party, complete with an LED saxophone and some pretty impressive dance moves.
The awesome beauty of the setting sun appeals to all of us. the crisp colours and warm light, a romantic moment in which time seems to stand still. Nigel and I are often asked to take a special portrait at this time of the day. For Louise and Chris, their sunset portrait meant something much more. Their story started with a sunset when Louise and Chris first became a couple. Chris, ever the romantic once again found the perfect sunset to propose to his wife. Photography is all about stories, each shot holding special and often very personal meaning. Knowing their story, it seemed that we just had to make sure that they had a shot of this special time on their wedding day. Our window of opportunity arrived after their meal, just before the wedding speeches were due to begin. Nigel and I met Louise and Chris outside the conservatory to take the quick shot after which, we made our way back inside, leaving Louise and Chris to enjoy their sunset. It wasn’t until then, that we saw it - the shot. The two of them, totally unaware of us, enjoying their moment together, framed perfectly within the open door of the conservatory, the setting sun casting the window frames into silhouette. It was truly a beautiful moment, that I won’t forget in a hurry.
This Wynyard hall wedding had it all - a stunning venue, two people deeply in love, and all the emotion that surrounds that.
If you are planning a wedding at Wynyard Hall, we would love to hear from you, in the mean time, take a look at more weddings at this amazing wedding venue.
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 - Ashleigh and Jonathon
Ashleigh and Jonathon held their colourful wedding at Wynyard Hall last September. It was a day filled with fun and laughter, energy and love, and it was a joy to capture.
Ashleigh got ready at her parents home in Wynyard Village before heading over to meet Jonathon in the Brooks chapel at Wynyard Hall for their wedding ceremony. She looked dazzeling in her Amanda Wyatt wedding gown, finished off with a sprig of Gypsophila in her hair and the most colourful wedding shoes I have ever seen! Their fun and playful nature showed in their choice of colours for the wedding, each bridesmaid dressed in a different colour and each groomsman dressed to match with colourful cravats, pocket squares and even socks! Their amazing wedding cake was the creative end result from a collective of favourite disney characters, Rapunzel, Mickey and Minnie, Buzz lightyear and Darth Vader who all made an appearance.
After dinner, we all headed over to Wynyard Hall's beautiful walled gardens - a first visit for all of us. The beautifully manicured gardens felt calm and serene as the early evening began to draw in. It made a perfect spot for a few more pictures of the happy couple and a very relaxing way to spend a few minutes before the party kicked off.
