Beamish Hall - Laura and Richard
Beamish Hall in the springtime made an idyllic setting for Laura and Richards wedding. The sun decided not to show its face but no matter, that didn’t make the day any less perfect.
Laura and her maids chose to get ready in the spacious apartment within the hall itself, while the lads chose the car park! Ha, well if it worked for them, why not? The newly redecorated Shafto hall became the setting for their cosy wedding ceremony and the grounds played host to their guests for their drinks reception. After the ceremony the two of them sped away in Richard’s mum’s yellow vintage Citroën Deux Chevaux so he and Laura could spend those first few moments of married life together and alone before coming back to join their guests enjoying the celebrations, going on to their wedding breakfast and evening party in the Winter gardens.
It was a gorgeous day with a wonderful couple, and a joy to attend.
St Nicholas Cathedral and Kirkley Hall - Naomi and Alexander
Listening to the local news on television while getting ready for this amazing wedding, two familiar voices stopped me in my tracks. Looking up, I saw Naomi and Alex, blissfully happy, sharing their thoughts about getting married the next day - the same day and at the exact same time as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Their day proved to be no less memorable, and just as stunning.
They chose a real contrast in venues for their wedding - which we loved! It was a city meets country affair filled with love, celebration and fun. Their traditional religous wedding ceremony took place in the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas in Newcastle, attended by all of their family and friends, (I have never seen the Cathedral looking so full.) moving onto Kirkley Hall, and a huge marquee set up for them within the grounds of the hall.
Their day reflected the very best of a relaxed yet traditional english wedding bringing two wonderful families together.
