Newton Hall - Abbie and Stephen

“Stephen and I just wanted to drop you a quick message to say the biggest THANK YOU ever!!! We honestly are so grateful, you both made our day. We felt so comfortable the whole day and the day would have never been the same without you both. Everyone commented on how amazing you both were!! The photos are beyond incredible. We can’t thank you both enough for giving us these amazing memories of our big day. All our love, Abbie & Stephen x”

In July, we were back at the fabulous Newton Hall in Northumberland for Abbie and Stephen’s big day. Working alongside Janet and Chris from One Digital Image who were capturing their memories on video. Abbie and Stephen were such a fun couple to work with and happy to go along with any idea that we came up with, including heading out after dinner for a stroll along the beach at high tide. Their day was relaxed and fun and full of vibrant personalities, moments of calm and moments of good old fashioned romance.

Healey Barn - Victoria and Daniel

“I’ve just sat in a bar with a glass of wine and cried whilst looking through them on my phone you guys are amazing xxxxxxx”

Victoria and Daniel were due to be married at Healey Barn in April 2020, but Covid 19 scuppered their plans and they had to postpone. They were married in their local Church in August 2020 but continued with their plans for a larger celebration at Healey Barn on a later date.

Day 2 of Victoria and Daniel’s wedding, consisting of a vow renewal and all-day celebrations came around in July 2021, They were the same wonderful, warm, and fun-loving pair that we knew from the previous year, but with one exception, they were also now parents! It was so wonderful to meet their beautiful baby girl and fantastic to see them finally enjoying the large get-together and party that they couldn’t have before.

Here is a quick link to view Victoria and Daniel’s 2020 Church wedding day.

Wynyard Hall - Melissa and Matthew

“Matt and I just wanted to say, thank you so much for the amazing job you did at our wedding! Not only did you take fantastic photos, you also helped us out so much with getting ready and getting through the day. You were both incredible and it is easy to see that you both love your jobs!! Thank you so much for the amazing photos - we absolutely love them!!!”

Wynyard Hall in the Tees Valley was the perfect setting for Melissa and Matthew’s wedding day in July. Their day was filled with pretty details, elegance and style. The boys opted to wear smart navy suits for the occasion, while the girls chose a pretty coral shade, lace and coordinating florals. Their wedding ceremony in the Brooks Chapel within the Wynyard Hall estate was followed by a wedding breakfast in the hall's grand ballroom, heading over to the hall’s large conservatory for a bit of a dance!

True Jesus Church - Katie and Marco

Katie and Marco opted for a traditional Chinese wedding. Their formal ceremony took place in the True Jesus Church in Newcastle, afterwards heading over to Jesmond Dene for a few pictures with the waterfall. Later, their guests joined us back at the bride’s family home for the traditional tea ceremony, then on to the groom’s for the same. How Do You Do in South Shields was ideal for an informal evening do (sadly still no dancing allowed yet) to enjoy a few drinks with friends - and some cake of course!

South Causey Inn - Sophie and Gary

“We honestly can’t thank you enough for doing such an amazing job on the day. As I’m sure you can imagine, picking photographers for me was one of the most important decisions, and you guys went above and beyond all expeditions. We 100% made the right decision choosing you both!! We’ve had so many comments since on what a good job you did. You made everyone feel so comfortable.”

Sophie and Gary chose the South Causey Inn in County Durham for their wedding day in July. The rustic charm of the Old Barn makes a great setting for a relaxed wedding with a fun vibe, and its setting in the countryside with a backdrop of rolling hills makes for great pictures. Sophie is a very talented landscape photographer, so there was no question when it came to making the most of the countryside location, we even made time for a trip to the nearby lake for a few pictures.

At the time, dancing inside was not permitted due to Covid restrictions, however, Sophie and Gary found a fab way of getting around the issue while keeping to the rules, and enjoyed their first dance, and a bit of a boogie with their friends outdoors just as the sun was beginning to set. It looked fabulous! Wouldn’t it be great if the idea caught on and outdoor first dances became a bit of a trend? What do you think?

Healey Barn - Madi and Dennis

“Oh my goodness!! These are absolutely amazing!! We love them so much. Thank you both so much, you’ve really captured the day.”

American bride, Madi and local lad, Dennis’ were married at Healey Barn at the end of June, and their wedding was another stunner that I just had to share with you. They were so much fun to work with, they had a real sense of adventure, and are so clearly completely in love. Madi and Dennis obviously had a great sense of style - the men looked dapper in their black tux’s, and Madi was a vision in her stunning vintage style wedding dress. They brought in a pop of colour into their day with the bridesmaid’s dresses who each were dressed in a different colour, along with the stunning florals in reds, blues, purples and greens.

Due to Covid restrictions at the time, they decided not to have an evening party, but they did share their first dance in front of their family and friends just before their wedding breakfast.
