Professional Photography: September 2011

I knew Jo & Simon's wedding would be beautiful, and beautiful it was.
Jo has her own business forecasting trends and fashion and I knew she had got her wedding dress from a boutique in New York - I was very excited!

Jo's stunning dress came from Saja Boutique, New York.

Arriving at church...gorgeous little Aidan and the girls stole the limelight a bit!

A Lovely ceremony at St Andrew's church in Corbridge.

And then off to the Baltic in Newcastle for the reception. I loved Jo's design & styling of the room. Beautiful flowers by Hannah of Wildflower.

My favourite...

A lovely reception, dinner and set of speeches with amazing views onto the quayside...

Jo & Simon, thanks for having to me document your day. As I said on the day, I think the world of you both and I loved being your photographer! x

I'm very excited about Kat & Tom's wedding next month....autumn leaves, a beautiful church wedding and a castle! We met recently at Chillingham castle in Northumberland which is also the venue for their wedding reception.

The gardens and grounds at Chillingham are just beautiful and offer endless fabulous spots for photographs.

Kat & Thomas - see you both soon for what I'm sure is going to be an amazing day x

Nina and Oliver were married earlier this month in Northumberland. They live in Norway so we did their pre-wedding shoot just a few days before the wedding. We chose the Quayside in Newcastle as our location as it was a nice connection to Oliver being a sailor. I loved the stripes too! The nautical theme appeared again at the wedding with beautiful hand tied knots decorating each table....so it was a perfect location for the shoot.

Nina & Oliver - I loved photographing you & getting to know you both! Many more photographs to follow....watch this space x

Irina and Tom's recent wedding in Cumbria was beautiful from start to finish. Beginning with a stunning Vera Wang wedding dress.....and a gorgeous bride!

The heavens opened just before the ceremony as Irina was whisked into the church.

Where Tom awaited her.

A beautiful reception awaited everyone at Tom's parent's home. The marquee looked fantastic - I especially loved the Russian dolls which were a lovely link to Irina's Russian roots.

We had a wander through the gardens for some shots as everyone else headed into the marquee.

It was then time for a superb set of speeches!

And no half hearted shuffle on the dance floor - an amazing first dance that before long had everyone else joining in. As I left, the party was definitely in full swing!

Thanks for a wonderful day Irina & Tom! x

The sun came out for Michelle & Paul's wedding at Slaley Hall last month.
Michelle looked great before she even got into her dress!

Paul and the boys looked fab too when I met them for a few shots before the ceremony.

Michelle's son Jude had the proud job of escorting his Mum down the aisle.

It was early evening when we headed into the grounds for some photographs of Michelle & Paul and we got some lovely evening sunlight.

Then back in for some brilliant speeches, including a fantastic speech from Michelle.

And my day finished with the first dance.

Katie & Paul have their wedding coming up next month. I met with them at Katie's parent's home earlier this summer for their pre-wedding shoot.

This is also the venue for the wedding reception which will be amazing!

Katie & Paul....see you next month! x

This recent family portrait session involved three generations. Little Ava, the youngest, was the star of the show!

Helen & John are getting married later this month. We met a few weeks ago for their pre-wedding portrait shoot. Helen & John's little boy Thomas joined us for some of the photographs....and did steal the show a little bit, as I'm sure he will on the wedding day too!

Love that smile!

Really looking forward to seeing you all soon x
