Liz & Paul - 7th April 2013

Liz & Paul's wedding was in the glorious Parish Church of St Michael in Alnwick. The cold weather prevails this spring but it stayed dry and it was cosy in the church out of the wind.

Paul & Charlie took a break from organising things in the church.  I love the anticipation and the nervously excited atmosphere before the bride arrives.

Liz looked pensive but absolutely beautiful with a gorgeously embroidered wedding dress.

The ceremony was very special as befits such a fine church.  From where I was standing, the singing was outstanding - well done all!

Smiles all the way down the aisle past friends and family...

...and more smiles outside

While the guests boarded the bus to The Alnwick Garden, I followed the posh car to the Lion Bridge...

And so to The Alnwick Garden for the reception and the whole room was buzzing with happy guests.  The tables were really nicely decorated...

Liz & Paul came for a few photos round the waterfall before I left the Happy Couple and their friends and families to enjoy their meal and evening's entertainment.

I really enjoyed being at your wedding. It was a beautiful day and Many Thanks for having me there. I'll be in touch soon
Best Wishes

Karen & Simon's Wedding

My first wedding of the year took me all of 3 miles from home to the beautiful Ellingham Hall. It was a chilly spring day but the hall was warm and it's full of quirky, fun things which give the place a really genuine, friendly atmosphere.

This Ellingham resident joined in the fun.

Which was very appropriate as Karen had chosen Peacock feathers for her bouquet and on top of the cake...

And so to the Easter wedding of Karen and Simon...

Sean and Holly were calming influences as Karen was getting ready

Guests were gathered in anticipation...

...as Simon made his way into the ceremony all smiles

Karen was very smiley too - all day!

The ceremony was lovely - nice and emotional in places.

And the champagne and confetti was waiting

Avoiding the obvious, we descended into the cellars for a few shots but then wandered through the trees where the snowdrops were blooming

Dinner in the new hall followed by really nice speeches including a bonus Bridesmaid's speech from Karen's friend Annie

Guests enjoyed a singalong in 'busker's corner'

and Karen smiled her way through the first dance to end the formal part of the day.

Thanks for having me at your wedding. I enjoyed the day and I could see that everyone else did too. I'll be in touch soon
Best Wishes

On The Beach

Great fun on the beach with Tracey & Daniel. Daniel was full of beans and energy as he ran up and down the beach and up and down the dunes!  He was very good at posing with his Mam too...

Leonie & Andy 16th November 2012

A beautiful, sunny autumn day in the quiet village of Lucker in Northumberland. Leonie and Andy brought their closest family and friends together for their wedding.

Andy and his Best Man Mark seemed ready to take everything in their stride.

The church was decorated with a really nice, natural selection of flowers as the guests gathered

Leonie's Mum and young Ze wait with the vicar in good spirits anticipating the arrival of our bride...

Leonie and her Dad wait in the doorway and take that last deep breath...

Back outside for rose petal confetti - This always makes for a nice photograph.

At nearby Warenford for a few photographs across the fields towards Leonie's Mum and Dad's farm.

The White Swan at Warenford was a lovely venue for a drink, conversation, a great meal and some well chosen words.

Leonie & Andy - It was a lovely wedding and I'm so glad the sun shone for you. Thanks for having me there and I'll have more photos for you soon... Best Wishes
