Natalie and Kevin chose Wynyard Hall in the tees Valley for their nuptials last summer. They were married in the stunning Mirror room, a large state room in the hall decorated in gold gilt, a sparkling chandelier and gigantic mirrors lining the walls. It was an elegant day all in all featuring a beautiful bride, a stunning venue, a horse drawn carriage, and a home made broach bouquet. Here are a few photographs from their fabulous day...
Danni and Paul were married last summer at St Patrick's church in High Spen heading over afterwards to the stunning Matfen Hall. All of their family and friends came together for their big day, even Daz, Danni's horse made an appearance.
Congratulations once again to you both and thank you for inviting us to join you both on your special day x
Sarah looked picture perfect as she walked down the aisle of St Josephs church in Stanley to be married to Stuart in July this year. The ceremony was beautifully traditional and was attended by all of their family and friends. After having spent some time with their guests after the ceremony, we all headed over to the Ramside Hall near Durham for their wedding reception. The Bishops suite was dressed to impress for their wedding breakfast back lit by the stunning giant light up letters reading their names supplied by the fab Coco Luminaire. As a surprise to the groom, Sarah splashed out on the brand new bridal suite, the Celebration suite for the pair of them to enjoy for a few days following the weddings so after the meal the four of us headed upstairs for a few photographs. To say I was impressed with the room would be understatement, it's stunning decor and mood lighting created a wonderful atmosphere and was ideal for a short portrait shoot. The evening began with the traditional first dance, however Sarah and Stuart surprised and enthralled their guests with a fabulous choreographed first dance which was followed by a special moment for the bride and her dad on the dance floor.
Here are a few of my favourite images from their day.
Durham Castle has always been one of my favourite wedding venues to work in - for is history, it's abundance of creative photographic opportunities and for the wonderful light so it was a delight to return to photograph Jez and Marks spectacular wedding.
Jez and Mark travelled all the way from London to be married in the city that they first met. I met Jez while he got ready with his groomsmen in the Royal County Hotel in Durham while Nige met Mark getting ready in his old halls of residence at Hatfield Collage. They said their vows in an intimate ceremony at Ackley Heads registry office surrounded by only their closest family and friends. After a quick walk around some of their favourite spots in Durham, revisiting some of the places that they used to go to together as students they were met at the castle by over 100 of their friends, all cheering on their arrival, throwing confetti over their fabulous two seater E type Jaguar. A lavish Champagne drinks reception lead into a feast and speeches in Durham Castle's great Hall.
It was such fun photographing this wedding and a joy to attend.
