Spring time wedding

It's been a long time since my last post and I have been busy.

Hopefully I will post a bit more regularly over the winter.

Back in April we photographed a lovely spring wedding at a fantastic old church St Mary and All Angels Newburn followed by a reception at the magnificent Grand Hotel in Tynemouth

The bridesmaids dresses were all different spring shades and looked fabulous

They complemented the vintage style wedding gown perfectly

The home made direction sign at the church was a lovely and personal touch

The wedding was a family event with a relaxed atmosphere

Bride and groom portrait with a difference

There was a great vintage wedding car

The wedding breakfast was in a wonderful room at the Grand Hotel

The always excellent Chris Cross provided some entertainment for the guests

If you have a great dress like this you need to twirl

A last shot of the Grand Hotel and then we left the guests to party

An elegant wedding

In the summer we photographed the very elegant wedding of Clare and Fletcher at Ellingham hall in Northumberland

We took a quick picture of the hall on arrival and then went to find Clare and the bridesmaids and some very posh footwear

We found a nice doorway to show off the dresses 

Some meaningful gifts from the groom

We found the guys being cool in the rather plush drawing room

Then on to the ceremony, which was full of love and joy

The grounds outside are fantastic for photography, the roaming peacocks didn't want to be in the pictures on this occasion, so we had to do without, but we managed

The meal and speeches were great fun, the power-point presentation by the Dads' was excellent and provided everyone with a lot of laughs, the room looked wonderful and the little touches were everywhere

Clare and Fletcher had a first dance routine that they had been learning and it was very slick and well done

We stopped into the evening capturing the party and taking a few twilight shots before leaving

These are only a small selection of pictures taken on the day which was a fantastic celebration of love and family, we were honored to have been asked to document it
