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.

Wynyard Hall - Ashleigh and Jonathon

 Ashleigh and Jonathon held their colourful wedding at Wynyard Hall last September.  It was a day filled with fun and laughter, energy and love, and it was a joy to capture.  

Ashleigh got ready at her parents home in Wynyard Village before heading over to meet Jonathon in the Brooks chapel at Wynyard Hall for their wedding ceremony.  She looked dazzeling in her Amanda Wyatt wedding gown, finished off with a sprig of Gypsophila in her hair and the most colourful wedding shoes I have ever seen!  Their fun and playful nature showed in their choice of colours for the wedding, each bridesmaid dressed in a different colour and each groomsman dressed to match with colourful cravats, pocket squares and even socks!  Their amazing wedding cake was the creative end result from a collective of favourite disney characters, Rapunzel, Mickey and Minnie, Buzz lightyear and Darth Vader who all made an appearance.

After dinner, we all headed over to Wynyard Hall's beautiful walled gardens - a first visit for all of us.  The beautifully manicured gardens felt calm and serene as the early evening began to draw in.  It made a perfect spot for a few more pictures of the happy couple and a very relaxing way to spend a few minutes before the party kicked off.

Beamish Museum - Carol and Keith

Right from the moment that we met Carol and Keith we knew that their wedding was going to be pretty amazing.  Their playful nature, wit and humour make them great fun to spend time with.  It really was a giggle a minute with these two.  Carol and Keith became a couple in their 20's and have a grown up daughter but chose to wait all these years before tying the knot.  When the time came, they knew that they wanted to do it a little differently.  It venue had to be a little unusual, the day relaxed and most importantly, there needed to be lots of fun.  They chose Beamish, the world famous open air museum in County Durham.  With so many amazing places to take photographs we were in our element.  For the evening, we all hopped over to Beamish Hall for a bite to eat and a little dancing.

Just as much in love as they ever were, Carol and Keith are proof that love can last through the years and can become stronger and deeper as the years go by.  Congratulations to you both and thank you for inviting us to share your special day with you.

Beamish Hall and Palace Gardens - Pam and Steven

East meets west in an explosion of fun, laughter, and colour for Pam and Steven's wedding last September.  Their traditional wedding was complete with door games for the groom, a tea ceremony, four outfit changes and a huge wedding banquet for all of their family and friends at Palace gardens in Newcastle's china town.  Pam looked stunning in each of her wedding outfits, each delicately embroidered and cut to perfection.  

They were married at Beamish Hall in County Durham in an elegant western inspired wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast for their closest family and friends heading over to Palace gardens the next day for a larger celebration.  

Here are a few of their pictures from their amazing two day wedding!!...
