Le Petit Chateau - Laura and Dean
In May, we found ourselves back at Le Petit Chateau, a gorgeous wedding venue in the pretty village of Otterburn in Northumberland, for Laura and Dean’s wedding. They’d told us beforehand that they were going to be nervous in front of the camera, but honestly, you wouldn’t have known it, they were amazing! They were such a fun couple to work with, full of energy and life, and clearly crazy about each other. The guests got on board with the fun vibe of the day too, from Dean’s best man, who when asked during the ceremony for the ring, produced a ring pop, to the flower girl and page boy dancing in the aisle while they signed the register. Their parents even saw the fun of it all and pulled some crazy poses during the family photos. It’s a long post today, but make sure you get to the bottom, the pictures of the flower girl and page boy dancing together after the first dance are adorable!

“I just wanted to say a big thank you to both of you. You both made our day even better. We felt so much calmer and less nervous about being photographed and even helped with things we wouldn’t have thought about on the day. So thank you both so much!” - Laura and Dean.
Wynyard Hall - Laura and Ryan
Wynyard Hall with its elegant architecture, impressive high ceilings, and magnificent state rooms can’t fail to impress. We have worked at Wynyard Hall many times in the past, however, it’s always a treat to go back. There are so many wonderful places for photographs, and we are constantly finding new spots for pictures. Wynyard Hall was the perfect choice for Laura and Ryan’s wedding day celebrations. To suit the style of the venue, Laura and Ryan opted for a traditional theme, with a blush, white, and gold colour scheme. Stunning florals in pink and white decorated the ballroom, alongside blossom tree table centers, floating candles, and a huge 4 tiered wedding cake. Their ceremony took place in St Helen’s Church in the village of Kelloe, and it was one of the prettiest churches I have come across. It was a gorgeous day with a lovely couple, and a joy to photograph.

Le Petit Chateau - Laura and Daniel
We were back up to the pretty village of Otterburn in Northumberland for Laura and Daniel’s wedding at Le Petit Chateau. We first met Daniel when we photographed his sister Lucy’s wedding at the Vermont Hotel in Newcastle back in 2017, and when he and Laura got in touch and asked us to photograph their big day, we were overjoyed. Laura looked stunning in her ballgown-style wedding dress as she walked down the aisle with her dad. Halfway down, she took her Grandad’s hand and he walked with them the rest of the way. It was clear to see how much that moment meant to him. The rest of the day continued with drinks outside, a few photos in the stunning Mediterranean-inspired gardens of Le Petit Chateau, and then some fabulous speeches before their meal. It was wonderful to be a small part of their fantastic day.

“We just wanted to say a massive thank you for yesterday! We’ve both been saying how amazing you were and we can’t wait to see the pictures!” - Laura and Daniel
“I’m crying! I absolutely love them all so much!!!! It feels so surreal still that they’re our photos, they’re absolutely stunning. Thank you so so so much!!! I’m lost for words xx” - Laura.
South Causey Inn - Lauren and Daniel
South Causey Inn is such a versatile wedding venue, with several different options to choose from for your ceremony and celebrations, all fabulously decorated, and with stunning views of the Beamish Valley. Lauren and Daniel chose the Old Barn for their wedding day. Spring had finally sprung and everything was looking green and fresh again. The sun was out, and there was barely a cloud in the sky. Lauren and her girls got ready in the Pamper Room, while the lads were in one of the courtyard rooms. After their ceremony, and a few drinks with their guests in the Old Barn bar, we all headed out to enjoy the glorious weather. We even managed to squeeze in a quick trip to the lake before they sat for their meal. It was a fun day with a great couple.

Healey Barn - Louise and Mark
Healey Barn weddings are always wonderful to photograph, so it was great to be back again for Louise and Mark’s wedding day. Mark started his day, by getting ready with his dad in the Coach House at Close House, while Louise got ready at her parent’s home. Louise looked stunning in her v-neck lace wedding gown, finished off so beautifully with a flower crown and her mam’s wedding veil. A family friend drove her to Healey Barn in his vintage car, arriving in style to Healey Barn. After their ceremony, their three adorable Cocker Spaniels popped by for a visit, they were energetic and lively, but also as good as gold and even sat to have a picture taken with their mam and dad. After their meal and some really funny speeches, the four of us headed to the woods for a few photos. Their wedding style made me think of rustic country blended with traditional elegance and it worked so well.
It was also great to work alongside Northern Acoustic, a husband and wife duo who provided the music for the day.

Anarchy Brewery - Sophie and Stu
Sophie and Stu’s wedding was our first at Anarchy Brewery. Anarchy Brewery is a working brewery in Newcastle creating local craft beer, and recently they have started offering their tap room for hire for weddings. With its industrial vibe, ‘beer hall’ style tables, and large art murals created by local artists, it’s a really cool place for a wedding. Sophie and Stu initially booked another venue for their big day, but it was forced into closure and their wedding was canceled. Stu, who used to work at Anarchy Brewery, got in touch with them and asked if they could host their wedding there instead, so their venue was changed. As the Brewery was not yet licensed for wedding ceremonies, they did all of the official bits the day before at the registry office, and on the day, Stu’s friend - who dressed as Elvis for the occasion, stepped in to perform their ceremony in front of their family and friends. A cool brewery venue, an Elvis impersonator, live musicians, street food from Hip to be Square and Chucho’s, and personalised craft beer favors - who could ask for more? It was a day full of life and energy and it was so much fun to photograph.
