South Causey Inn - Natasha and Robert
A South Causey Inn wedding. Natasha and Robert chose the South Causey Inn’s old barn for the location of their November wedding, and us to be their wedding photographers for the day. With its low lighting and cosy interior, it makes an especially lovely, and very stylish venue for a winter wedding. Natasha got ready in the Pamper Suite, located above the on site antique shop, while Robert chose to get ready in the American Trilogy room. A joyful ceremony was followed by an indoors drinks reception, after which their guests were entertained by some really wonderful speeches. While not small in numbers attending, it was a wonderfully intimate, family focused occasion and a joy to have been a part of.
The Yorkshire Wedding Barn - Becky and Matthew
As our last wedding of 2018, Becky and Matthew’s rose gold themed wedding at the Yorkshire Wedding Barn saw our year our in style. A fabulous couple, a stunning venue, and that dress! Becky’s Grace Loves Lace wedding gown could not have been more perfect for her.
Helena and Gareth - Wynyard Hall
Helena and Gareth's beautiful wedding took place at Wynyard Hall in the Tees Valley the day before new years eve. Helena chose pretty pastel shades and delicate florals to contrast with the deep navy blue gowns that her bridesmaids wore. The overall look was stylish and classic, perfect for their elegant venue.
They were married in the Brooks chapel within the grounds of the Wynyard Hall estate itself, heading over to the statue gallery for their drinks reception, the ballroom for their wedding breakfast and then finally into the large light filled conservatory for their evening party.
Here are a few of our favourites from their day...
Doxford Hall - Nicola and John
John proposed to Nicola in front of Cinderella's castle and so of course there was always going to be something romantic and magical about their wedding day. The date was set for January, our first wedding of 2015. It was bitingly cold, the kind of cold that causes your cheeks to glow red but the light was simply wonderful. A gorgeous low golden sun for the entire day, a wedding photographers dream come true.
Elegant Nicola looked simply breathtaking in her Justin Alexander wedding gown. The classic cut gown with Sabrina neckline looked effortlessly stylish and suited her perfectly. She chose a hand-tied wedding bouquet by Allison Janes and classic pearl jewellery to complete her look for the day.
A quiet word of love and encouragement from her father before walking her down the aisle became a memorable moment for Nicola and as her proud father gave her hand away no words needed to be spoken, John's admiration and appreciation for his beautiful bride was written right across his face.
The day continued in the same way, stylish and elegant, informal emotional and fun. Warm hearted and kind Nicola and John along with their family and friends filled the day with laughter and love. It was a simply magical day and wonderful to be a part of.
Nicola and John's wedding day is featured in the current issue of Belle Bridal magazine.

A winter wedding at Langley Castle - Natalia and Tom get married!
Is it possible to know within the first few moments of meeting someone that you are about to begin a life long journey together? Tom certainly thinks so. On his wedding day, Tom happily told me that it was love at first sight for him from the moment that he set eyes on Natalia sitting across from him in the university library. He found the courage to go and talk to her the next day, they began dating and very quickly he won her heart.
They chose a crisp and fresh day in late december for their wedding at Langley Castle in Northumberland.
As usual, Nigel met the lads as they suited up for the big day ahead, while I headed over to see the girls in one of Langley castle's feature rooms.
Natalia looked simply stunning, wearing a fish tail dress, full length veil with lace detail and holding a bouquet of deep red roses.
The ceremony, festively decorated with the wedding theme colours of red, gold and silver was held in the Josephine restaurant. The fading light outside and the candlelit interior made for a very cosy and inviting feel.
Weddings are filled with emotion and moments to capture, it goes without saying, but the ceremony it's self is one of my favourite times of the day. The look in Tom's eyes as Natalia makes her way down the aisle, the moment they are pronounced man and wife, and that very fleeting moment shared between the two of them just after they shared their first kiss, it's magic to witness.
Our good friend Paul Lytton, a talented magician did a great job of entertaining the guests after the ceremony.
I have to say, hat's off to this girl!! Don't forget that this is a late December afternoon, gradually getting cooler as the light faded and she looks sensational! Thank you to you both for braving the cold and allowing us to take these incredible shots, we hope that you treasure them for many years to come.
The wedding breakfast and evening party was held in the Stuart Suite at the top of the castle decorated in the same red, silver and gold. The speeches are another all time favourite time of a wedding day for me. I love the unreserved outbursts of emotion, the laughter, the crying, the proud look on the bride's fathers face and the embarrassed expressions from the groom during the best man's speech. These are the moments that bring back memories.
Natalia and Tom take to the dance floor for their first dance as man and wife surrounded by their friends and family.
Congratulations to you both and thank you for letting us be a part of your day, wishing you both a lifetime of happiness x
