The Ramside Hall - Lyndsay and David

Looking back at Lyndsay and David's wedding at the Ramside Hall Hotel at the end of May last year brings back thoughts of sunshine and light nights - and how I am missing those right now!  It was a perfect day, spent with a fantastic couple who are warm hearted, have a seriously fun attitude towards life and are a laugh a minute - and for a couple who told me before hand they they were a little nervous about the romantic portraits, I think that they nailed it!  They were a joy to work with and it was an honour to photograph their wedding.  

They were married in their local church, St Cuthbert's in Seaham before heading over to the Ramside Hall Hotel in Carrville just outside of Durham.  Here are a selection of their photographs that I feel really sum up the day.

Congratulations to you both and thank you for having us along! x

Wynyard Hall - Danielle and Phillip

It was a pleasure to return to the magnificent Wynyard Hall for Danielle and Phillip's late spring time wedding.  They chose to be married in Wynyard Hall's beautiful Mirror room moving over to the Ballroom for their wedding breakfast and the conservatory for their evening reception.

It was a treat to once again work along side our friends, Janet and Chris from One Digital Image wedding videos as well of course as the fab team at Wynyard Hall.

Congratulations to Danielle and Phillip, wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness.

Wynyard Hall - Lauren and Mark

Lauren and Marks elegant wedding day at Wynyard Hall was a real treat to photograph.  It involved two beautiful wedding dresses, a vintage diamond tiara given to the bride from her father, designer wedding shoes, the most incredible wedding cake I have ever seen with it's own flower arch and a stunning venue, Wynyard Hall in the Tees Valley.  Their choice of colour theme, in pale gold reflected the elegance of the occasion and suited the venue perfectly.  The whole day was a treat for the eyes. 

The wedding ceremony took place in Wynyard Hall's chapel, moving on to the Statue Gallery for a drinks reception and the Winter Gardens for their wedding breakfast and evening reception.

Here are a few of the best from the day.

Newcastle Cathedral and Beamish Hall - Sarah and Andrew

Sarah and Andrew are one of those couples who together just simply make sense.  Sarah's grace, calmness and gentleness alongside Andrew's sense of fun and energy together become a perfect balance.  It was a pleasure and an honour to get to know this great couple and to photograph their wedding day this spring.

They chose to be married in the Cathedral Church of St Nicholas in the heart of Newcastle.  A place that we both ourselves are very fond of and have worked in many times before.  It's wonderfully welcoming atmosphere is only elevated by the wonderful people who work there, Canon Kevin and of course the lovely verger, Ellie.

After the ceremony, we all headed over to Beamish Hall in the beautiful north county Durham countryside for their wedding reception.  They enjoyed a wedding breakfast with all of their family and friends in the Monboucher Suite moving over to the Winter Gardens for their evening reception. 

Here is a brief glimpse of their amazing wedding day.
