South Causey Inn - Vicky and Steve
Vicky and Steve’s wedding in early March last year at the South Causey Inn was a family affair that not only joined a really wonderful couple together as man and wife but it was also the day that their two boys became brothers. I remember meeting all four of them at Wynyard Hall’s wedding fair all the way back in February 2019, and we just clicked straight away, it felt like we were meant to be their wedding photographers, and I was so happy when they felt the same and booked us for their big day.
Vicky is one of those people with a really infectious personality, she brings laughter and fun to every conversation and Steve is in the truest form of the words, a proper gentleman. Together they light up every room that they enter, and their boys could not be more charming if they tried. During the ceremony, Vicky’s son proudly walked his mam down the aisle, while Steve’s son took the role of the best man, making sure that the rings were handed over on time. They both did a top job. After a wonderful drinks reception with friends and family, we headed outside for a few photographs with the newlyweds. It was, as seemed to be the norm at the time, another very blowy day, but the wind did not deter either of them and we had a lot of giggles as we explored the grounds together. They shared a meal with their family and friends in the Old barn dining hall and listened to some really great speeches, one of which was written by Steve’s son and read out by Steve’s brother. We stayed with them all the way through to the evening do, and after the first dance and a bit of dancing, we left them to party into the night.
It was such a good day with such a fun and exhilarating couple, I wish we could do it all over again!
They have planned an action-packed honeymoon with their boys to Orlando in Florida, which sadly had to be postponed due to the pandemic. Guys, I hope you get out there soon, all four of you really deserve this amazing holiday. I’m sure it’ll be well worth the wait.
Beamish Hall - Emma and Jamie
Emma and Jamie were married just two days before Christmas last year at picturesque Beamish Hall set in the north Durham countryside. Inspired by the season, their wedding took a festive theme. The red and white colour theme was accompanied by lots of fairy lights, snowflakes, mistletoe and pine cones, and we even received a visit from a reindeer in the woods! Here are a few images from their day...
Ellingham Hall - Lucy and Pete
Our first wedding of the year was that of Lucy and Pete at Ellingham Hall. The early January weather was naturally cold but also very wet, however Lucy and Pete proved that you don't need amazing weather to have an amazing wedding. Lucy was the perfect bride, elegant, classic and refined, her 1920's inspired wedding gown suited her slim build and fair skin and matched the venue beautifully. She chose oversized loosely arranged bouquets which complimented the vintage styling of the wedding, and the men dressed to match the style choosing the classic black tie. The day was elegant and classic but relaxed and really great fun to photograph.
The received a gorgeous thank you card from them both. Thank you to you both for your lovely words, they mean the world to us. We are so please that you love your photographs.
"To Nigel & Chrissie
We wanted to thank you both for capturing our wedding so beautifully. We are absolutely thrilled with the photos and can't stop looking at them. We knew as soon as we saw your stunning website that you were the photographers for us and we really appreciate all the time and effort you put into understanding what we wanted and making it happen. We had the most wonderful day and thanks to you, we can re-live it when ever we like. We wish you every success for the future.
Love from
Lucy & Pete xxx"

Lumley Castle - Charlotte and Tom
Charlotte and Tom travelled all the way from Australia to realise their dream of being married in an English Castle. They brought with them their parents, Charlotte's brother and her best friend, with a much larger party planned for a couple of weeks later back in Melbourne. They had hoped and dreamed of snow to help paint the scene of their perfect English winter wedding and wonderfully they were not disappointed.
It was our honour to capture their very intimate wedding day and to get to know these eight amazing people. Congratulations to you both and we with you every happiness for your future lives together.
