Woodhill Hall - Emma and Dan

At the end of March, we found ourselves up in Otterburn in Northumberland to photograph at Woodhill Hall for the first time.  The rain poured down on us for most of the day but Emma and Dan were not going to let that stop them from getting the photographs that they wanted,  It was a  joy to work with this couple who are full of life and love, energy and were wonderfully fun!

Here are the pictures...enjoy!!

Ellingham Hall - Lucy and Pete

Our first wedding of the year was that of Lucy and Pete at Ellingham Hall.  The early January weather was naturally cold but also very wet, however Lucy and Pete proved that you don't need amazing weather to have an amazing wedding.  Lucy was the perfect bride, elegant, classic and refined, her 1920's inspired wedding gown suited her slim build and fair skin and matched the venue beautifully.  She chose oversized loosely arranged bouquets which complimented the vintage styling of the wedding, and the men dressed to match the style choosing the classic black tie.  The day was elegant and classic but relaxed and really great fun to photograph.

The received a gorgeous thank you card from them both.  Thank you to you both for your lovely words, they mean the world to us.  We are so please that you love your photographs.

"To Nigel & Chrissie

We wanted to thank you both for capturing our wedding so beautifully.  We are absolutely thrilled with the photos and can't stop looking at them.  We knew as soon as we saw your stunning website that you were the photographers for us and we really appreciate all the time and effort you put into understanding what we wanted and making it happen.  We had the most wonderful day and thanks to you, we can re-live it when ever we like.  We wish you every success for the future.

Love from

Lucy & Pete xxx"

South Causey Inn - Kayleigh and Craig

Kayleigh married her Craig on a beautifully clear and crisp winters day just two days before Christmas at the South Causey Inn in Stanley.  

As the wedding co-ordinator for Lumley Castle, planning a wedding came naturally to Kayleigh.  She already knew the best suppliers to contact for her own big day, all whom collaborated together to create a beautifully classic day with subtle festive hints and a wonderfully relaxed feel to the entire day.  Kayleigh's stunning bespoke wedding gown was a creation from local wedding dress designer - the House of Mooshki while Craig opted for a smartly cut classic black suit and ivory cravat.

It was a beautiful day in a stunning countryside location with a really wonderful couple.  Here are their pictures from their day...

Lumley Castle - Charlotte and Tom

Charlotte and Tom travelled all the way from Australia to realise their dream of being married in an English Castle.  They brought with them their parents, Charlotte's brother and her best friend, with a much larger party planned for a couple of weeks later back in Melbourne.  They had hoped and dreamed of snow to help paint the scene of their perfect English winter wedding and wonderfully they were not disappointed.

It was our honour to capture their very intimate wedding day and to get to know these eight amazing people.  Congratulations to you both and we with you every happiness for your future lives together.
