Healey Barn - Kirsty and Adam

Over two years ago Kirsty and Adam were searching for a venue for their wedding.  They wanted something a little different from the norm, stylish but relaxed, somewhere in the countryside and somewhere close to where they grew up.  During their search, they were told about Healey Barn, a brand new wedding venue - at the time still in it's planning stages.  The took a leap of faith and became one of the first couples to book.  

It felt like forever before the day finally arrived, a little grey and overcast but the day certainly didn't disappoint.  The beautiful ceremony at St Andrews church in Corbridge was followed by their relaxed wedding reception at Healey Barn, a few photographs in the nearby fields and woods, and some fantastic evening entertainment from the local boy band - the Boyz.  

It was a wonderful day with a truly fantastic couple and having previously photographed Adam's brother's wedding at Matfen Hall it was a joy to work with the family once again.

Here is their story...  

Eshott Hall - Emma and Tom

Eshott Hall  is just about one of my favourite venues.  I adore the classic architecture, the traditional but fresh interior design, the surrounding landscaped gardens and woodland leading out towards the beautiful Northumberland countryside which extends as far as the eye can see.  It made the perfect venue for Emma and Tom on their wedding day earlier this year.  

We first met Emma when she was a bridesmaid for her sister Sally and husband Andrew a few years back.  It was wonderful to be invited again to capture another day in photographs for this kindhearted and wonderful family.  Emma and Tom decided to tie the knot in Eshott Hall's intimate reading room just a short walk from the hall before heading back for their outdoor drinks reception.  It was a wonderfully relaxed wedding day and a joy to be a part of.  Here are the pictures.

Headlam Hall - Lisa and Simon

Earlier in the the, Nigel and I were invited to photograph a lovely at Headlam Hall situated between Barnard Castle and Darlington.  Lisa and Simon's families were a joy to spend time with, relaxed and fun and treated us like a part of the family.  Everything about the day was perfect, from the wedding ceremony at St Philip and St James in Witton Le Wear, to the music at the end of the day.  Here is their story.

The South Causey Inn - Robyn and Wayne

Robyn is just about one of the most energetic souls I have ever met.  Her expanse of ideas and passion for creating the perfect wedding for both her and Wayne extended to every tiny detail awing all of the guests right from the start of the day to the very end.  The quintessential picturesque venue of The South Causey Inn set in the beautiful countryside of North Durham made an ideal setting for their rustic themed wedding.  Together Robyn and Wayne are a perfect match, both full of fun and laughter, warm and kindhearted.  What a great day it was with a truly fantastic couple.
