Emma & David's Wedding

Emma & David were married in Jemond Dene House in Newcastle last month.
Emma was such a beautiful bride, with her stunning Ian Stewart dress, from Rosina Brown in Stocksfield.

The ceremony........

Admittedly it rained all day...but neither Emma or David were phased and both just got on with having an amazing day.

Emma had put a massive amount of effort into finishing touches for the tables. It was worth it Emma....the room looked gorgeous.

We ventured out with the umbrella and got some lovely quirky shots. Having to lift her dress meant we got Emma's fab shoes in shot which is a bonus I think!

The speeches were great. I especially loved Emma's Grandad's impromptu words, which had the room rolling with laughter.

And the dancing, which was in full swing as I left.

Kirsty & Daffyd's Wedding

Kirsty & Daffyd were married earlier this month at Guyzance Hall in Northumberland.
I am a sucker for photographing details (shoes, dress, flowers etc..) so I was in heaven when I got to Kirsty's room.
Kirsty was a stunning bride. The boys were pretty dashing too.
The ceremony was held outside in the gardens. I love Daffyd's face as he watches Kirsty arrive.
There was a bit of a shower towards the end so we had to dash under cover. But within minutes the rain had stopped and everyone was back outside enjoying a champage reception.
We got caught in a torrential downpour not long after this shot....but were swiftly rescued by a team of umbrella clad ushers.

The speeches were great and Daffyd's two brothers had the room in stitches with their slideshow of old photographs.

The sun came out again so we grabbed a few more photographs in the lovely evening light.

And the dancing............
Kirsty and Daffyd are the lovliest of couples. It has been a pleasure getting to know you both and to document your wedding day. I hope you are having the most amazing time in NZ. See you both soon x

Sally & Jack's Wedding

Sally and Jack were married at the end of last month in Embleton in Northumberland. The reception was held at Sally's parent's nearby farm with a beautiful marquee in the garden.
The church was completely packed out. There was a little downpour whilst the ceremony was taking place and after that the sun shone all day.

We stopped enroute back to the house for some photographs of Sally & Jack. What can I say.....these two are just amazing to photograph!

Perhaps my favourite shot of the day..........

Green was definitely the theme. With hand made bunting and green apples for each name place, the marquee looked lovely. Sally, I have to admit that I was actually taking notes for my own wedding!

We stole a few more photographs around the farm and found a green door - perfect.

All three speeches were brilliant.

And as the sun set the dancing began. Sally & Jack - thank you for sharing your day with me and making me feel so welcome. I absolutely loved photographing your wedding and I hope Italy was belissimo!

Dan, Sarah, Orin & Maddie

I hadn't seen Dan and Sarah since school....which is quite a while ago now! They are now Mr & Mrs Gray and have two beautiful children, Orin and Maddie.
We went to the park for the portrait session which was a perfect backdrop.

The ice cream van hovering in the distance was a good way of keeping Orin's interest -and actually mine too :)

Dan & Sarah - you have such a lovely family and it was my pleasure to document it for you x

Isla & James

Isla and James are getting married this weekend in North Yorkshire. We met a couple of weeks ago for their pre wedding portrait session.

The setting of the wedding and all of the details Isla & James told me about makes me certain this will be a superb day.

See you both on Saturday!

Zoe & Ben

Last year I photographed Zoe and Ben's first pairs of shoes which were printed onto canvases for Debby and Fraser's home.
This year we met up to photograph Zoe and Ben in person - they were perfect little models.

Sarah & Anthony

I travelled to Cambridge last month to photograph Sarah and Anthony's wedding. I met Sarah through her sister Lottie, who is a very dear friend of mine, a soulmate infact :)

Sarah has impeccable taste so I knew the details would be fabulous...and they were.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Sarah you are gorgeous.

The ceremony was beautiful, and even hilarious in parts. I shall say no more....Ruth and David.

Longstowe Hall was the venue for the reception, and wow, what a venue. It was absolutely stunning, a photographer's dream and the staff were superbly helpful.

Sarah with her lovely bridesmaids, Lottie, Amy, Hannah and Bridesman Chris.

The grounds were overwhelming with so many amazing places to take photographs. I could have gone on all day!

Sarah and Anthony are expecting their first baby this September, so I suppose he's in these photographs too!

The speeches were as all great speeches should be. Filled with laughter and a few tears. Sarah's brother Tom, who is a comedian was MC and also did a speech which was hilarious.

And then the dancing.... I even got up there myself later on but thankfully there are no photographs of that!

Sarah and Anthony - thank you for sharing your day with me. I hope you have had a wonderful honeymoon and I look forward to seeing you both soon xxx
