Emma and Lee at Lumley Castle

Emma and Lee were childhood sweethearts who met at school...they are so perfect for each other and just a joy to work with. Rain threatened all day but we just worked with the moody cloud and kept our fingers crossed (it worked!). As this was the only wedding at Lumley Castle we had full run of the place which was great! The newlyweds are saving their Italian honeymoon for the summer but did manage to sneak off to The Feversham Arms for few days for some well earned R&R.

Here is their story in pictures and I am sure you'll join me in wishing them a very long and very happy marriage xx

Victoria and Kris at As You Like It

Victoria and Kris were married amidst a sea of beautiful stylish vintage-esque details. Not only that but they had fantastic weather and the most amazing friends and family who were hell-bent on enjoying the day and their super-chic surroundings! As You Like It has a unique way of creating a very relaxed atmosphere and it really suited Victoria and Kris down to the ground. When they serve Brown Ale as a toast you know this is one wedding without any formality and I think it was appreciated by lots of the guys! Victoria looked stunning in her lace gown, with a criss-crossed back design and just the right amount of sparkle and I fell in love with her bouquet and shoes! Everything just looked perfect!

Jane and Paul on Saltburn Pier

Jane and Paul are busy planning their summer wedding but we took time out to meet up and take some photos at the quaint and very windy Saltburn Pier! I am really looking forward to this wedding as there are some unusual and quirky details so keep checking the blog for their wedding photos!

Cathy and Chris at Slaley Hall

We drove to Slaley Hall in heavy rain but I put my faith in the BBC and they were right, by 11am it was dry and promising to be a fantastic day for the marriage of Cathy and Chris. Cathy chose a stunning Maggie Sottero dress with beautiful detail over one shoulder and she looked so stylish and classy. She walked down the aisle to her two favourite boys, Chris and their baby son Tommy and her smile said it all!

It was beautiful weather and guests enjoyed drinks and canapés on the terrace while I stole the married couple away for some romantic portraits in the Japanese garden.

I was honoured to be part of their day and I hope you enjoy this preview of some on my favourite images.
