Healey Barn - Rosie and Allan
As North East wedding photographers, we have had the pleasure of capturing many beautiful weddings at Healey Barn in Northumberland, and it was a joy to be back again for Rosie and Allan’s wedding day.
The day began with the bride getting ready at home, with her sister, her niece, and her two adorable cats. When I arrived, I was greeted with smiles and a warm welcome. Bridal preparations can often be crazy busy, with people coming and going, and everyone trying to get ready at the same time, but the atmosphere at Rosie’s was so calm and relaxing.
The bride looked absolutely stunning in her beautiful gown and intricate hairstyle, and her smile lit up the room as she walked down the aisle to meet her groom. The ceremony was filled with laughter and love as Rosie and Allan exchanged their vows. Their love for each other was evident in every moment, and it was a privilege to capture these memories for them.
Following the ceremony, and a few drinks in the courtyard, the newlyweds and their guests made their way to the Oak Room for the wedding breakfast. The room was beautifully decorated with flowers and candles, the atmosphere was lively and celebratory, and the speeches were both emotional and funny.
Rosie and Allan, along with their friends and family, were a joy to photograph, and we were so grateful to have been a part of their special day.

“It has been wonderful going through our slideshow and seeing how everyone was having a fantastic day along with Allan and me. Everyone has said what an amazing time they had at our wedding. It was full of laughter and love. Your photos have captured that and done so in such a professional and unobtrusive way.” - Rosie and Allan.
Durham Castle - Hannah and Adam
Last summer, we were back again at the gorgeous Durham Castle for Hannah and Adam’s big day. The UK at the time was going through a heat wave and the met office had issued an extreme weather warning. Temperatures on the day were reading as 29 degrees c, so as you can imagine, it was hot! We left home - making sure we were fully kitted out with extra water bottles to meet them as they both got ready for their ceremony at St Paul’s Church in Spennymoor. It was a beautiful church with a stunning modern stained glass window and the most lovely vicar who made us feel so welcome. After their ceremony, we headed into Durham and to Durham Castle to begin the celebrations. Upon arriving, Adam topped the popularity chart as the most popular person ever, as he had booked an ice cream cart! You could see their guest’s relief and the pure enjoyment on their faces. Adam and Hannah even insisted that we had one, and they were amazing! After a few family photos, we spent a quick 5 minutes capturing a few shots of the two of them in the castle grounds, but really, it was just too hot to do many, so after their meal when the day had begun to cool a bit, we went for a walk down to Prebends bridge.
It was a wonderful day with two really great people, and we were so happy to have been there to capture it all for them in photographs.

“We love the photos, thank you so much. You both were truly amazing and you exceeded our (already very high) expectations on the day, we are so happy to have worked with you on our wedding day.” - Hannah and Adam.
Bamburgh - Hannah and Jack
We drove up the coast to Bamburgh for Hannah and Jack’s festival-style wedding. They were married in the beautiful St Aidan’s church, walking afterward to the next-door field where they had hired and pitched three large tipi‘s. I loved their attention to detail, with their homemade bunting and macrame decorations, personalised event wristbands, and street food vans. After a bit of celebrating, and a bit of food, we kicked off our shoes and took a walk on the beach, and considering their wedding was on a Saturday in the summer, we were so lucky to have a nearly empty beach, with of course those iconic views of Bamburgh Castle.

“We have just got back from our mini-moon and would just like to say thank you so much. We haven’t been able to stop talking about our day and how much we enjoyed it. You guys played a massive part in it. We absolutely love the pictures, thank you so much! “ - Hannah and Jack
Matfen Hall - Sarah and Mark
Matfen Hall is a fabulous location for a wedding. It is a stunning Northumberland wedding venue with beautiful gardens, a magnificent great hall, a huge sweeping staircase, and views of the countryside that go on as far as the eye can see. It was the perfect place for Sarah and Mark’s relaxed yet traditional wedding. They were married in the Great Hall, after which, they and their guests headed outside to celebrate with drinks and lawn games. After a few pictures in the stunning grounds, they all headed inside to the Morning Room for some great speeches and a meal together, before dancing the night away. It was a fabulous day with a great couple, and we were so happy to have been a small part of it.

“Can I just start by saying the photos are absolutely fantastic! The confetti shots are all amazing and the couples shots of Mark and I are beautiful. We really love your more arty shots which are just something different and so cleverly done. I have to say we had great fun playing 'spot the photographer' particularly for the ceremony pics because you guys must secretly be ninjas to not appear in each other’s shots! Thank you for agreeing to be our photographers and for everything you have done to capture our day. We couldn't be happier with the photos you have produced.“ - Sarah and Mark.
Newton Hall - Rachel and Noah
We were back up north for Rachel and Noah’s wedding at Newton Hall. Newton Hall is a fun and quirky wedding venue right next to the coast in Northumberland and is always fun to photograph at. We first met Rachel when she was a bridesmaid for her friend Sarah whose wedding we photographed at Doxford Hall in 2017, so when she got in touch and asked us to be her wedding photographers, we were delighted. From day one we clicked, and quickly, it was like we were old friends. It was awesome to see these two kindred spirits tie the knot and celebrate their day with their family and friends. It was a wonderful day and a joy to photograph.

“We have just returned from our honeymoon, and are absolutely blown away by the photos! We can’t thank you enough! They are absolutely stunning!! We truly can’t thank you enough for our pictures - they’re just amazing!” - Rachel and Noah.
Shortflatt Tower - Fiona and Stuart
Located close to Belsay in Northumberland, Shortflatt Tower was a new one for us. Shortflatt Tower s a 13th-century pele tower, with amazing grounds and a purpose-built dining hall with woodland views which has been built inside the original walled garden. It’s a stunning location and perfect for couples who want a relaxed wedding with an outdoorsy vibe.
Fiona and Stu’s wedding was so much fun to photograph, from giggles with the girls as they got ready in the morning, to the crazy dance moves in the evening. It was a day full of energy and life, and we loved every moment of photographing it!

“What can we say, we are so overwhelmed by these photos and how perfectly they capture our day! I can't believe how many there are! Each time I look there seems to be more appearing! Thank you SO much for making this so fun and feel so easy. We absolutely loved having you both as an integral part of our day, and it truly wouldn't have been the same without you. The photos capture the whole range of emotions that came with the day and will be equally treasured. I LOVE the joy that can be seen in all the dancing photos and we are so grateful that you stayed to capture these. And the photos of Georgie the dog are simply perfect! I could go on, but instead, I am just going to go back to scrolling through the pictures and reliving the day moment by moment!” - Fiona and Stuart
