Matfen Hall - Kerry and Jake
Festoon lighting, hurricane lanterns a candle lit ceremony made for a wonderfully cosy atmosphere for Kerry and Jake's wedding at Matfen Hall last October. They were married in the hall's stunning gothic great hall with it's huge sweeping staircase and huge feature fireplace. The weather was kind to us and so the newlyweds were able to take advantage of the extensive grounds and woodlands for some pictures alone together before joining their guests for their wedding breakfast in the terrace rooms. There were some great moments through out the day, lots of laughter and lots of fun, and it was a joy to capture it all for this fab couple.
Ellingham Hall - Sarah and Stuart
Ellingham hall is one of my favourite venues for a wedding. Oozing charm and elegance with so many great opportunities for beautiful wedding photographs with the stunning village church only a short walk away. Sarah and Stuart chose that very same church not only for their wedding ceremony but also on the very same day also to baptise their baby son in front of all of their family and friends. It was a truly stunning day filled with so much beauty and love.
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!
