To sum up how great Claire & Jon’s wedding was and how much of a pleasure it was to be a part of, I thought I’d share part of a message I received from Claire this morning. “Jon and I can’t thank you enough it was like having a friend doing are photos!!” To hear a comment like that really makes you feel good about the special moments I’m capturing for people.

It’s awesome to have built such a great relationship with Claire & Jon, from Sam’s photo shoot to the pre wedding shoot in Tynemouth. After booking me so long ago it was good to see all that planning and stressing really paid off. As well as little Sam looking daper in his suit to match his dad’s.

Not for getting visiting two very gorgeous venue’s Ramside Hall Hotel and St Helens Church really complimenting the day well.

It’s funny as the day started and finished weather wise, exactly the same as their pre wedding shoot at Finchale Abbey. Raining cats and dogs all morning then coming out for a beautiful sunny night.

South Causey Inn wedding venue is a perfect location to host a wedding and Dawn & Trevor’s day was perfect. It was a lovely intimate day, relaxed with a good chilled out atmosphere.

Dawn looked gorgeous in her dress, finished off with some cute shoes, her Nana’s pearls and a veil bought from her mam.

Autumn has to be by far my favorite season to photograph in. There is just something about the feeling that winter is on its way, wrapping up nice and warm and heading outdoors. The colours are always amazing, the orange and browns of the turning leaves and the already falling leaves making a gorgeous carpet across the floor.

It’s always hard to catch the weather right and have a pre wedding shoot at the same time, but with half term upon us Rachel & Emma took the opportunity to do there pre wedding photo shoot early. Capturing the leaves before there was none left as there wedding at Newton Hall is not till the end of December. Which after this awesome pre wedding shoot I cannot wait for. A Christmas wedding at Newton Hall with an amazing couple and not forgetting the mulled wine what could be better.

Rachel & Emma were a gorgeous couple to photograph; they took me to Hawthorn Dene. Hawthorn Dene is a stunning location that leads down to the beach. It is rife for some great photo opportunities.

Hope you enjoy looking at the images as much as I did creating them.

What a fantastic wedding to be a part of!

Sarah and Tom were an amazing couple, with their super cute son William who looked very dapper in his suit! He certainly made it easy to get some awesome shots!
It feels like just yesterday that I met them and shot their pre wedding shoot and a photo shoot of there wood floor show room!
The day ran nice and smooth. Starting with bridal prep at the Blackwell Grange hotel, followed by a lovely ceremony at All Saints Church in Hurworth Village. Following on with an intimate reception at The Bay Horse just over the road and then finishing the night at The Grange Bar in Darlington Centre. We had a downpour of rain but that certainly didn’t dampen the day one bit!
I’m looking forward to editing the rest of the photos!
