Professional Photography: August 2011

Claire and Simon were married earlier this month in Washington and held their reception at Slaley Hall.

Claire looked amazing...

A beautiful ceremony in Our Lady's Church.

We stopped enroute to Slaley for a few photographs.

Claire had designed all the stationery and table decorations herself...which were all beautiful.

Fantastic speeches.

We headed out after the speeches for some photographs of Claire and Simon in the grounds.

And then the dancing...

Congratulations Claire & Simon - I hope you had a wonderful honeymoon x

Anna & Tommy get married next month in Northumberland. I met with them recently on a lovely day in London for their pre-wedding shoot.

I couldn't resist the old red phone box

Anna & Tommy - you are both gorgeous! Can't wait for the wedding x

The sun shone all day for Kate and Craig's wedding last month.
My day started by meeting Kate and the girls in the hairdressers.

Three very excited bridesmaids couldn't wait to get into their dresses.

Kate looked stunning as we headed to Hexham Abbey.

A beautiful reception awaited everyone at Newton Village Hall.

We headed out for a stroll for some photographs of Kate & Craig.

Then after a delicious dinner came the speeches...

..and the dancing.

Congratulations Kate & Craig - thank you for sharing your day with me xx

Here are a few photographs from Teddy's first portrait session.

With big sister Poppy who I photographed when she was Teddy's age.

Tiring work...

I met with Michelle & Paul on a red hot day at the beach for their pre-wedding shoot. We had coffee, walked on the beach then into the park and finished with an ice cream...perfect!

Camilla and David were married last month in the Scottish borders near Camilla's beautiful family home.

Camilla was effortlessly stunning and elegant.

The rain didn't spoil anything as we came out of the church and took the short walk to the marquee...

...which looked spectacular.

A break in the weather allowed for a few photographs in the gardens.

It was then back to the marquee for the fun bits - speeches, dinner & dancing!

I met with Jo, Simon & their little boy Aidan on a blustery day at Bamburgh recently for their pre wedding portrait shoot. Aidan was an absolute star only needing to stop a couple of times for a crisp break :)

It wasn't exactly balmy but it was dry so we headed to the beach to make sandcastles!

I loved Jo & Aidan's matching Converses!

Jo & Simon - thank you for a lovely morning. I can't wait to photograph your wedding! Lots of love xxx

Irina and Tom's wedding in Cumbria is fast approaching. We met recently in Edinburgh, on a gorgeous sunny evening for some pre-wedding pictures.

They brought along their vintage bicycles which were perfect props for the shoot.

Some beautiful evening light...

I can't wait for the wedding later this month as I just know it will be oozing style and these two are going to look amazing!

Sarah & Dave's wedding last month was simply stunning and Sarah's lovely Jimmy Choos were a great way to start the day!

And a stunning dress and bouquet to match.

I met with the boys before they headed up to the church.

Sarah looked amazing as she arrived at Minsteracres.

We stopped on the beautiful Sequoia lined avenue with the coolest wedding car I've ever seen.

Then back to Sarah's family home for a reception with a teepee marquee which I absolutely loved inside & out!

I then whisked Sarah and Dave away from their guests. Not for long, but the 10 minutes in this nearby poppy field was definitely worth it.

And then back for speeches and dancing!

Kate and Craig had a red hot July day for their pre wedding shoot. They have since had their wedding day which was also fabulous weather. Here are a few from our portrait session.

I met with Claire and Simon on a lovely summer evening by the river in Wylam for their pre-wedding shoot.

The light was gorgeous and Claire & Simon were perfect models.

Jenni and Robert chose to use the family farm as the backdrop for their portrait session with me last month. It was a lovely summer evening and was fantastic having such a beautiful landscape to use for the shoot. Jenni and Robert were naturals and needed little direction from me.

The dogs were keen to get involved too so joined in on the shoot!

This was a recent shoot for North East based Dockleaf Developments to update their image portfolio.

A bright sunny day and immaculate interiors made for a lovely shoot.
