Newton Hall - Rachel and Paul

Newton Hall nestled in the Northumberland countryside, bathed in glorious sunshine was the setting for Rachel and Paul's wedding at the end of last summer.  It was a wedding not only about two people becoming united as husband and wife, but also a day for their three children, to witness to celebrate and to be a part of their wonderful day.  It was such a joy to spend time with and photograph this warm hearted and fun couple and their beautiful family. 

The best of 2016

Well we've done it!  We have searched through every one of the 53 weddings that we attended last year to find our best images of 2016.  The images themselves, all 250 were chosen because they represent something meaningful and profound to us.  Each and every one speaks to us both in a personal way, they represent us, the way that we think and the way that we see the world.  The experience of collecting the images together and drawing upon our own memories of capturing each moment is clarifying and will help us move forward, to learn from our experiences and to develop and grow as photographers and creatives.

To our couples of 2016, it was a year of new friends and new opportunities.  We have met some inspiring people and been to some incredible places.  It was our extreme honour to photograph every one of the 53 weddings that we attended last year, each amazing and unique in every way.  Thank you to each and every one of you for inviting us to join you on your wedding days and for trusting us with your memories.

We hope that you enjoy the images as much as we enjoyed creating the collection.

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.

Wynyard Hall - Rachel and Mark

Rachel and Marks wedding day last summer was such a treat for the eyes.  Set in the stunning Wynyard Hall in the Tees Valley, their day was filled with pretty details, elegance and style.  The boys opted to wear black tie for the occasion, while the girls chose pretty pastel shades, lace and delicate florals.  Their beautiful wedding cereony in the Brooks Chapel, within the Wynyard Hall estate was followed by a wedding breakfast in the hall's grand ballroom.  The walled garden made the perfect location for an after dinner stroll before they welcomed their evening guests for the evening do. It was wonderful to work with this great couple and a joy to be a part of their special day.

Here are a selection of their wedding images.

Lumley Castle - Amy and Craig

Earlier in the year we both found ourselves at Lumley Castle in Chester le Street for Amy and Craig's romantic summer wedding.  They were married in the Scarborough Suite after which enjoyed a wedding breakfast with their family and friends in the Barons Hall.  Here are a few of their images from their big day. 

Wynyard Hall - Natalie and Kevin

Natalie and Kevin chose Wynyard Hall in the tees Valley for their nuptials last summer.  They were married in the stunning Mirror room, a large state room in the hall decorated in gold gilt, a sparkling chandelier and gigantic mirrors lining the walls.  It was an elegant day all in all featuring a beautiful bride, a stunning venue, a horse drawn carriage, and a home made broach bouquet.  Here are a few photographs from their fabulous day...
