Matfen Hall - Rachael and Mark
With the grand reveal of the east wing refurbishment at Matfen Hall less than two weeks away, my mind skips back to this beautiful wedding last summer. The sun was shining, everyone looked amazing and Rachael and Mark didn't stop smiling all day. I honestly don't know if this day could have been better.
THE PROPOSAL
"We first met at Northumbria University in 2008, where we lived in the same halls. We quickly became friends, and after a couple of years we started our relationship. Mark proposed to me shortly after moving into our first home on my birthday in 2015, it was such a romantic day."
THE INSPIRATION
"We wanted our day to to be simple but elegant, with a relaxed atmosphere and a rustic/vintage theme."
THEIR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT
"We loved every minute of our wedding day, especially having all our family and friends celebrating with us. Our most memorable part of the day was just after the wedding breakfast had finished and we got some time to ourselves, It was the first time that we were completely alone and it gave us a chance to take a few deep breathes and take everything in."
THE PHOTOGRAPHERS
"We first met Chrissie and Nigel when they photographed our best friends wedding and got to see their work first hand. When it came to picking a photographer for our day it was an easy decision to make. It was important to have our specical day captured in a way that told the story of the day. Weddings are a busy day and full of moments that will be remembered for the rest of our lives. Looking back through our album now, every photo brings back a memomy."
ADVICE
"Enjoy every minute of planning your wedding and don't get stressed about the little things."

Matfen Hall - Laura and Paul
It's been far too long since I last posted. Nigel and I have been busy all year long, photographing some incredible weddings, and I can't wait to show you them. All the way back in April, we were very fortunate to photograph Laura and Paul's elegant wedding at Matfen Hall in Northumberland. The sun shone, the atmosphere was fantastic, and all in all it was a really unforgettable day.
Laura and Paul chose some amazing suppliers for their wedding day. It was great to work alongside Lisa Jones (Hair and make up), Coco Luminaire (light up letters), Snaparazzi photobooths, and Jason Issacs for the evening entertainment.
Here are some of our favourite shots from Laura and Paul's wedding at Matfen Hall.
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.
Matfen Hall - Danni and Paul

Danni and Paul were married last summer at St Patrick's church in High Spen heading over afterwards to the stunning Matfen Hall. All of their family and friends came together for their big day, even Daz, Danni's horse made an appearance.
Congratulations once again to you both and thank you for inviting us to join you both on your special day x
Matfen Hall - Rachel and Elliott
Rachel and Elliott chose to be married at the fabulous Matfen Hall last October. They travelled all the way from Surrey to say their vows surrounded by only their closest family and friends in the hall's impressive gothic great hall. Escorted by her mum, Rachel looked stunning as she made her grand entrance down the sweeping staircase in her Justin Alexander a lace fishtail wedding gown.
Their classical and timeless wedding day was a joy to attend and an honour to photograph. Here are a few on the images from their big day.
