Wynyard Hall - Kim and Doug
Autumn. I have always loved it, but more so since becoming a wedding photographer. The low sun gives us sublime light, and the trees and foliage burst into an array of wonderful colours. An autumn wedding at a venue like Wynyard Hall, working with a great couple and a fantastic team of suppliers. what more could we ask for?
Kim and Doug were a dream to work with. Kim was effortlessly elegant and Doug was quite the gentleman. Their stylishly classic wedding naturally flowed throughout the day from Doug preparing in Kim's family home right through to their fab evening reception where even Doug's Grandad showed off his moves on the dance floor. Personal touches such as Kim's sister singing during the ceremony and her brother using his skills as a graphic designer for the table details added something extra special to the day. This wedding was made special for us too, having worked with two of Kim's siblings in the past, it was a real joy to join the family again for this, the third family wedding.
Wynyard Hall - Natalie and Kevin
Natalie and Kevin chose Wynyard Hall in the tees Valley for their nuptials last summer. They were married in the stunning Mirror room, a large state room in the hall decorated in gold gilt, a sparkling chandelier and gigantic mirrors lining the walls. It was an elegant day all in all featuring a beautiful bride, a stunning venue, a horse drawn carriage, and a home made broach bouquet. Here are a few photographs from their fabulous day...
Woodhill Hall - Emma and Dan
At the end of March, we found ourselves up in Otterburn in Northumberland to photograph at Woodhill Hall for the first time. The rain poured down on us for most of the day but Emma and Dan were not going to let that stop them from getting the photographs that they wanted, It was a joy to work with this couple who are full of life and love, energy and were wonderfully fun!
Here are the pictures...enjoy!!

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 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.

Lumley Castle - Emma and Alex
Emma and Alex chose Lumley Castle in County Durham for their wedding last December. Despite the dreary weather throughout the entire day everyone had a wonderful time. They were married in the Scarborough Suite in the castle itself, moving over to the Barons Hall for their wedding meal and evening party. They ended the day with an amazing live band and firework display in the grounds of the castle. Emma and Alex, we dearly loved getting to know you both and it was an honour to capture your first day as man and wife. Congratulations to you both once again!
