South Causey Inn - Lauren and Daniel
South Causey Inn is such a versatile wedding venue, with several different options to choose from for your ceremony and celebrations, all fabulously decorated, and with stunning views of the Beamish Valley. Lauren and Daniel chose the Old Barn for their wedding day. Spring had finally sprung and everything was looking green and fresh again. The sun was out, and there was barely a cloud in the sky. Lauren and her girls got ready in the Pamper Room, while the lads were in one of the courtyard rooms. After their ceremony, and a few drinks with their guests in the Old Barn bar, we all headed out to enjoy the glorious weather. We even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to the lake before they sat for their meal. It was a fun day with a great couple.
If you're planning your own wedding at the South Causey Inn, and are looking for a wedding photographer, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
South Causey Inn - Danielle and Lee
“Wow, we love the photos and it feels like we have relived our wedding. We can't thank you enough, they are just what we wanted - so many natural photos!”
Danielle and Lee had planned for a summer wedding in 2020, but, like it did so many others, the pandemic scuppered their plans and they had to postpone. With 2021 dates going so fast, they struggled to find a day that both the venue and registrar were available for, but finally, they secured a date in November and a ceremony time of 3.30pm. We knew we were in for a bit of a challenge with only 10 minutes of daylight after their wedding ceremony to photograph family photos and a few portraits but with their awesome wedding guests on board, we did it!
They were married in the Tanfield Suite at South Causey inn, moving to the Cobbles Bar to celebrate with their family and friends, following on with a wedding breakfast and evening party in the Durham Suite. It was a fabulous day with a relaxed vibe and was great fun to photograph.
South Causey Inn - Kate and Stephen
“Thank you both so much for our photographs. They are absolutely perfect and really capture every moment of the day. We couldn't be any happier! Our album is amazing. We can't stop looking through it. We have it as a decoration to show everyone that comes in our house.”
I knew from the moment that we first met Kate and her family at a wedding fair that we would be a great fit for one another. We clicked straight away and on the big day, we had so much fun together. Kate and Stephen were married at the end of July at the South Causey Inn in County Durham. Kate looked a vision in her romantic a-line wedding gown, I adored the combination of the reds and pinks in the bridesmaid’s dresses and florals, and the lads looked fab in their navy tweed suits. While the weather wasn’t playing ball, we managed to dodge (most of) the raindrops and captured some lovely pictures of the happy couple outdoors. It was a gorgeous wedding with a wonderful couple and their awesome family and friends.
South Causey Inn - Vicky and Steve
Vicky and Steve’s wedding in early March last year at the South Causey Inn was a family affair that not only joined a really wonderful couple together as man and wife but it was also the day that their two boys became brothers. I remember meeting all four of them at Wynyard Hall’s wedding fair all the way back in February 2019, and we just clicked straight away, it felt like we were meant to be their wedding photographers, and I was so happy when they felt the same and booked us for their big day.
Vicky is one of those people with a really infectious personality, she brings laughter and fun to every conversation and Steve is in the truest form of the words, a proper gentleman. Together they light up every room that they enter, and their boys could not be more charming if they tried. During the ceremony, Vicky’s son proudly walked his mam down the aisle, while Steve’s son took the role of the best man, making sure that the rings were handed over on time. They both did a top job. After a wonderful drinks reception with friends and family, we headed outside for a few photographs with the newlyweds. It was, as seemed to be the norm at the time, another very blowy day, but the wind did not deter either of them and we had a lot of giggles as we explored the grounds together. They shared a meal with their family and friends in the Old barn dining hall and listened to some really great speeches, one of which was written by Steve’s son and read out by Steve’s brother. We stayed with them all the way through to the evening do, and after the first dance and a bit of dancing, we left them to party into the night.
It was such a good day with such a fun and exhilarating couple, I wish we could do it all over again!
They have planned an action-packed honeymoon with their boys to Orlando in Florida, which sadly had to be postponed due to the pandemic. Guys, I hope you get out there soon, all four of you really deserve this amazing holiday. I’m sure it’ll be well worth the wait.
South Causey Inn - Jade and Craig
It has been so good looking through our first weddings from 2020 again, and reliving what were some pretty epic occasions. It's doing my soul so much good to see pictures of people hugging and celebrating together, knowing that we will be back there again soon. Jade and Craig’s wedding last February was indeed epic, despite it blowing a hooley almost all day. Wind is always the most tricky weather for a wedding photographer, even more so than rain, but when you have a bride and groom who just laugh all day, how could we go wrong!
Jade and Craig were married just a few miles away from us at the South Causey Inn in County Durham. It’s an awesome venue to work at, trendy and cool inside with some lovely views of the surrounding countryside outside. Nige met the lads at their home, while I joined the girls in one of South Causey’s cosy bedrooms. Jade looked stunning in her fitted lace gown, and her rose bouquet with lots of greenery was just gorgeous. They were married in the chapel and went on to have a meal with their family and friends in the Old Barn dining hall. After dinner, the wind dropped to a more manageable level, so we ventured out to explore the grounds with the newlyweds. The weather as it was before dinner, there was no way we were going to ask the guests to pop outside for confetti, but after the meal, they were all only too happy to join us which turn out to be a great kick-starter to their fab evening do.
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.
