Durham Cathedral and Durham Castle - Ruth and Scott

In August, we saw ourselves in the heart of Durham, to photograph Ruth and Scott’s wedding day at Durham Cathedral. Originally from the North East, Ruth and her Canadian groom Scott moved to Luxemburg some time ago but came back to the UK to marry in the iconic building that was so close to her heart. Their ceremony was stunning, their family and friends seated in the choir, with the general public watching from the nave as they gave their vows. After the ceremony, with huge smiles on their faces, Ruth and Scott hurried the short distance from the Cathedral to Durham Castle - rain was pouring down but it did not dampen their spirits in the slightest. They were met by their guests with confetti in hand for a fabulous arrival at the castle. Their grand wedding breakfast in the great hall was followed by a stroll around the castle and cathedral grounds for a few pictures, then a fantastic Cèilidh.

South Causey Inn - Kate and Stephen

“Thank you both so much for our photographs. They are absolutely perfect and really capture every moment of the day. We couldn't be any happier! Our album is amazing. We can't stop looking through it. We have it as a decoration to show everyone that comes in our house.”

I knew from the moment that we first met Kate and her family at a wedding fair that we would be a great fit for one another. We clicked straight away and on the big day, we had so much fun together. Kate and Stephen were married at the end of July at the South Causey Inn in County Durham. Kate looked a vision in her romantic a-line wedding gown, I adored the combination of the reds and pinks in the bridesmaid’s dresses and florals, and the lads looked fab in their navy tweed suits. While the weather wasn’t playing ball, we managed to dodge (most of) the raindrops and captured some lovely pictures of the happy couple outdoors. It was a gorgeous wedding with a wonderful couple and their awesome family and friends.

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.
