Castlegate Wedding | Kayleigh & Shaun | Cullercoats Wedding
Newcastle Wedding Photographer | Leighton Bainbridge
Wedding Location | Castlegate Newcastle | Cullercoats
Couple Getting Hitched | Kayleigh + Shaun
After getting married in Cyprus, Kayleigh & Shaun had what was an awesome blessing back here in the UK. Picking two very stunning locations, St. George’s parish in Cullercoats & Castlegate Newcastle. Only upstaged by the beautiful Kayleigh, not forgetting the very daper Shaun. From Jimmy Choo‘s in the sand to a truly magical sunset on the Millennium Bridge, Kayleigh and Shaun’s wedding day was fantastic and full of great laughs.
I wish them both a life of happiness and all the best for their married life together.

Tynemouth Pre Wedding Photography | Claire & Jon
Tynemouth Wedding Photographer | Leighton Bainbridge
Pre Wedding Location | Tynemouth Beach
Couple Getting Hitched | Claire & Jon
Tynemouth is a beautiful place so why not two pre wedding shoots in the same day at the same location.
This time it was with Claire & Jon, and what a couple of lovebirds these two are, needing no direction from me. Great chemistry, I’m sure there must have been some practicing before hand. After todays shoot I’m sure looking forward to their big day the Ramside Hall Hotel, so be sure to check back soon
High House Farm Brewery Wedding | Bev & Chris
Newcastle Wedding Photographer | Leighton Bainbridge
Wedding Venue | High House Farm Brewery
Wedding Location | Newcastle | Northumberland
Couple Getting Hitched | Bev & Chris
A Valentines Day wedding at High House Farm Brewery what could be more romantic, I loved being a part of Bev & Chris’s Wedding. They were a lovely couple to work with and looked mighty fine as well.
High House Farm is a very intimate wedding venue and suited the two families perfectly, with Bev’s family coming down from Scotland it was also a beautiful spot in Northumberland to show off.
Every one was so welcoming and friendly which made the day run smoothly with plenty of laughs on top. Not forgetting a great tour round the brewery and topped off with a gorgeous hog roast, which went down a treat.
Check out Bev & Chris’s Pre Wedding shoot at Bamburgh Castle

Couple Getting Hitched | Bev & Chirs
I think we got a little taste of spring today up Bamburgh Castle for Bev & Chris’s Pre wedding shoot. The sun was shining and it was almost warm, although we had to endure a hike up and down to the beach, which really warmed us up. Looking back at the photos though and it was an excellent choice. Bev, Chris and I managed to create some stunning shots and they were a great couple to work with.
I’m looking forward to their Valentines Day wedding although I doubt my wife would agree.
Be sure to come back soon to visit their big day.
2014 Top 10 Photographs
My Top 10 photographs of 2014
Newcastle Wedding Photographer | Leighton Bainbridge
What would be your Top 10?
Here we go….
What an amazing year 2014 was, photographed so many gorgeous weddings and met so many awesome people.
I knew picking 10 photographs from last years weddings was going to be hard, ha-ha so hard in fact it’s actually 11. I just couldn’t take one more away from the selection.
In no particular order…
I love this photograph of Shaun, Christina kept him waiting a little longer then anticipated and I think Shaun’s cheeky little grin says it all.
Take a look at Christina & Shaun’s wedding.
As soon as I captured this shot of Rachel putting her earring in, I knew instantly I had a beautiful shot. Rachel looked stunning on her big day and I loved her hair and hairpiece.

At Natalie & Carl’s wedding it rained all day and we only managed to get outside right before I was due to leave. I made sure I didn’t disappoint Natalie getting her dress wet with this gorgeous shot with Linden Hall in the background.

Another stunning shot from Christina & Shaun’s wedding these two were a couple I could just keep on shooting over and over.

I was so lucky with the sky for Stacy & David’s wedding and as soon as I saw the sky I hustled them outside to capture this beauty. There was no way this wasn’t making it to my top 10.

With Tina & Neil’s photograph I could of picked both the colour and black and white as they are both amazing in their own rights but in the end it had to be black and white.

This is the first image from Rachel & Emma’s wedding. What stands out the most for me, is that you can really see and feel how much it means to them both. I instantly feel like I am there in the room with them.

The hardest job was to not pick to many from Rachel & Emma’s wedding. I have so many that I love from there wedding at Newton Hall that my list would be huge. One things for sure and that is there is no denying this fireplace photograph a place in the top 10

Vicky & Martin’s day was another day where we had downpour, and when I say downpour it was torrential. But it was on and off which added so much character to the sky. As soon as the sun started setting I grabbed them for this amazing shot with The Ramside Hall in the background.

My first visit to Rockliffe Hall and I was blown away at Jill & John’s wedding but the best picture for me didn’t involve the hall. With the wind blowing a whoolie all day I managed to capture Jill’s dress blowing around with some great detail in the sky.
This is the second one from Stacy & David’s big day and I love this one because of the character that the tall trees bring to the image. It’s as if to say that there journey is about to begin.
