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.

Kirkley Hall - Amy and Joe

Nigel I love getting involved in local wedding fairs, exhibiting our work and meeting face to face with future clients, and Amy and Joe were one of those clients.  We met at Belle Bridal's wedding wonder show at St James' Park and we hit if off straight away.  Amy's spark of energy along with the strong connection between them that was obvious to see right from the beginning, I knew straight away that I wanted to photograph their wedding.  

They decided that 3-4 hours of coverage would suit them better than our usual offering with photographs taken just prior to the ceremony, the ceremony its self and of their drinks reception.  It's surprising how much can be achieved in such a short amount of time.  It wasn't planned that we would stay to photograph the speeches but we had had such a great time with this fab couple we couldn't tear ourselves away, so we stayed a little longer, kept ourselves out of sight and captured the speeches too! 

To a wonderful couple and new friends, congratulations and thank you for having us along, we loved every moment!
