Our Wedding

This wedding I didn't photograph....it was mine. I married Aidan Rose on the 3rd of September in Hexham Abbey, and thought I'd share a few of the photographs with you!
Our photographer was the fabulous Katy Melling. Katy is an amazing photographer and also a good friend of mine. I am also very excited to be photographing her wedding next May.

I had been praying for sunshine on a daily basis for the previous 6 months or so...and they were answered - it was a hazy morning and by the time we were on our way to the church the sun was shining... beating down actually. It was a truly gorgeous day.

My hair was done by the lovely Emma Hill. I met Emma after photographing her wedding last year. My beautiful bouquets were done by Hannah Price of Wildflower, who I can't reccommend highly enough!

And my dress was from the fantastic Rosina Brown in Stocksfield.

The day started at home with Mum & Dad..........


Heading to the Abbey with Dad and my bridesmaids and coming down the aisle as a married woman with Aidan.

My lovely godson Corie...who looked adorable in his suit and later in the evening was centre stage on the dance floor.

My new parents-in-law and gorgeous husband! The kilts are Northumbrian Tartan and came from The Nothumbrian Tartan Company

My beautiful bridesmaids and flower girl. Vik, Lottie, Ali, Cat (all the way from New Zealand!) Liz, Kath and Claudia

Of course Oswald came to the wedding...and of course he wore a bow tie!
We stopped enroute to our reception for some photographs next to a corn field.

Our amazing car was thanks to our friend Laurence who was also our driver! Whizzing along the country lanes with the top down was breezy but fantastic!

Our reception was a marquee at High House Farm Brewery. It was the perfect venue.
My Mum, Sylvia was a full time 'wedding decoration maker' for the 6 months leading up to the wedding. She made 400 ft of bunting, hand printed and lettered name place cards, bows for the chairs, lace candle holders, table plan, tables names....I could go on. She was incredible and it resulted in a beautiful, magical room in which to celebrate our wedding. Dad did his bit too and grew from seed, hundreds of sweetpeas to go on all the tables.

Aidan's Gran made the exquisite flowers for the top of our cake. Each petal of each flower was hand made and hand painted.

We headed out with Katy later on to get some more photographs as the sun was going down

The light was lovely.......

It was the best day of my life. I loved every minute of it, and I love being Mrs Rose - I love you Aidan.

I'm positive that I will become a better wedding photographer now that I have experienced it myself. I now really understand what a special day it is and it makes me love my job even more.
