Clay pigeon shooting, fireworks, singing waiters, stunning florals, a gorgeous venue, and great weather - Kirsty and Oli’s July wedding day at Beamish Hall had it all!
Here are a few of our favourite shots from their day.
If you're planning your wedding at Beamish Hall, and are looking for a wedding photographer, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
Edinburgh - Ni and Kev
I can't even begin to tell you how much it meant to me to photograph this wedding. Ni and I go back years and years. She was the university house mate who would stay up all night with me helping me choose prints to be critiqued the next morning. She was the girl who sent a text over 11 years ago from my phone to Nigel, the boy I liked and invited him over for dinner - now my business partner, husband and the love of my life. Ni was a bridesmaid at our own wedding almost 9 years ago who saved the day by fixing the family heirloom necklace that broke just before I was due to leave, she even had a large part to play in helping us name our business. She has been the friend that even when we are at our busiest and free time doesn't exist she has understood and been there for us regardless. Friends like this do not come along often.
Ni and Kev became a couple during our uni days, Ni a bar maid in an Ashbrook Rugby club, and Kev the coach and referee of the team. I remember meeting Kev for the first time all those years ago and seeing how happy he made my best mate. I couldn't have been more thrilled for them, however after over 10 years together I was beginning to lose hope that they would ever get married. Kev took us all by surprise and popped the question at the romantic Hilton castle in Sunderland in 2014.
Humble, kind and warm hearted, my lovey friend Ni married her best friend and soul mate Kev in an intimate wedding ceremony at the Lothian Chambers in Edinburgh heading over to the Dome for an afternoon wedding breakfast with their closest family and friends. It was a privilege to be counted amongst that number and to capture their wonderful wedding day.
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!
Wynyard Hall - Claire and Alastair
Claire and Alastair were married in the stunning Wynyard Hall in March this year. The light was pastel and soft, the colours of spring were just starting to show which despite it still being rather cold added a sense of warmth to the scene.
Claire and Alastair chose rich cadbury purple and crisp white as their colour theme which was echoed in the flowers, bridesmaids dresses, table decor and also filled the conservatory as coloured light for their evening reception which looked wonderful and really gave the room a party atmosphere.
They were married in the Wynyard Hall's own chapel, going on to the huge statue gallery and ballroom to celebrate the day with their family and friends.
Here are a few of our favourites from their beautiful early spring wedding day.
