Beamish Hall - Helen and Callum

Callum's Dad has been a vicar at the Holy Trinity church in Murton for many years so when it was time for Callum to marry, who else would have be more perfect for the job that his old man?  The pretty church near Seaham made for the perfect setting for Helen and Callum's wedding.  Helen arrived in style to the beautifully decorated church path, arches adorned with yellow sunflowers - the colour symbolising joy, happiness and friendship led her way to the steps of the church and to Callum's dad, waiting to catch a picture of the moment for himself on his phone.

After their beautiful wedding ceremony, we all head over to Beamish Hall in Co. Durham.  It's always a joy to work at Beamish, with it's character style and beautiful mature grounds, not forgetting the fab team.  

It was a really fantastic day with a lovely couple, and a joy and honour to have been involved.

Wynyard Hall - Lizzie and Alan

Lizzie and Alan's wedding day was a thing of beauty.  The weather was nothing out of the ordinary, flat but dry, a little overcast and perhaps not as sunny as you might hope for in the month of July but everything this about this wedding was perfect.  A wonderful couple, kind hearted and so much in love, a stunning venue, pretty details and a fantastic crowd to help them celebrate.  The things that made this wedding truly beautiful was the moments, and moments between moments, the love for this couple plain to see from their family and friends, their love for one another, sweet and gentle and everlasting.  A surprise for the groom in the form of a favourite song played in the statue gallery resulting in an impromptu first dance,  a perfectly timed gust of wind catching the veil, a private short walk alone and a gallant groom carrying his new wife to save her shoes from getting dirty.  Even silly selfie sticks and ice cream after dinner for all along and fun photo ops found their way perfectly into the day.  The groom's liking for Marvel and the character, the Flash led the way for Nigel to create a groom's portrait using flash of course, making him look like his own kind of super hero.  It was most certainly a day to remember.

It was wonderful to work alongside such a talented group of people for Lizzie and Alan's wedding day.  Janet and Chris from One Digital Image capturing their wedding video, Jess Avison from AMV playing the acoustic guitar, Marissa Bennett make up, Scoops and smiles supplying the ice cream, the Ultimate wedding DJ, Sara's Kitchen who supplied the cake and dessert bar, Silver Birch for the stationary, and not forgetting the amazing team at Wynyard Hall. 

We along with Lizzie and Alan were delighted when Wynyard Hall requested to use the image above for the front cover of their latest wedding brochure, for their website, magazine advertisements and for their latest wedding fair banner.  I have to say, it looks pretty amazing and it seems for now that Lizzie and Alan have become the faces of Wynyard Hall.  Pretty cool huh!

Garden marquee wedding at Newton Hall - Sarah and Clifford

Sarah and Clifford, well what can I say about these two?  It has to simply be fabulously fun and a laugh a minute.  It was a joy to photograph their special day last summer in Northumberland.  

Sarah was lead down the aisle of St Michael's church in Alnwick by their two very cute little boys dressed in straw boaters and carrying signs and their daughter looking every bit the young lady.  After the ceremony, they all jumped into their wedding car to head down to Newton Hall.  Not the same Newton Hall that you may have already heard of, this Newton Hall is located in Newton on the Moor and is owned by a close friend of theirs who had agreed to allow them to set up a huge marquee on the grounds. The American flag hoisted up onto the flag pole was a nod to the time that they both spent living in New York and the place that they first met.  It was a fantastic day, seriously fun and a privilege to be a part of.
