I am reconnecting with every aspect of photography in a way that feels fresh, exciting, and meaningful. The thing is, my love of photography was never really lost to me; it was just hidden beneath the surface for a while, waiting to be rediscovered. Through everything, I still held onto it. Even during tougher days, when my mental health made it harder to tap into my creativity, I was still putting in 100% effort, doing my best to honour the work, my clients, and myself.

You might be wondering why someone with award-winning wedding photography credentials would offer such an affordable package when many others in the industry charge significantly more. It comes down to a few key factors that are unique to me, my lifestyle, and my beliefs.

My expertise includes working in some of the most beautiful wedding venues in the North East UK. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing couples at stunning venues like The Story in Durham, where elegant décor and picturesque surroundings create the perfect backdrop for timeless wedding photographs. If you’re still deciding on a venue, I’m happy to provide suggestions based on my experiences and even help you explore how the photography can align with your chosen location.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of photographing four weddings at The Story in Durham, a registry office that has quickly gained popularity. While it’s not a full-day wedding venue, its charm and elegance make it an ideal location for couples looking for a beautiful, no-fuss ceremony. I’ve had more enquiries for The Story in a short time than almost any other venue, which speaks volumes about its appeal. Here’s why I think it's becoming such a popular choice for couples, along with my first-hand experience photographing weddings there.

As a wedding photographer, I've always strived to provide exceptional service, creating timeless memories for couples on their special day. However, due to significant changes in the market and personal challenges, I've decided to adjust my pricing structure. The decision to reduce prices wasn’t made lightly but reflects the current realities of the wedding photography industry and my business circumstances. In this piece, I want to outline the key reasons behind this pricing change and how they will impact my clients and business.

As a wedding photographer, every new venue brings its own unique challenges and opportunities, and Emma and Pete's wedding at Newton Hall on the Northumberland Coast near Seahouses was no exception. From the moment I arrived, with the sun shining brilliantly, I knew it was going to be a fabulous day.

As a wedding photographer, I’m always excited about the opportunity to capture the special day of two people in love. The thrill of documenting those precious moments is amplified when the venue is as breathtaking and steeped in history as Newton Hall in Northumberland. Although I haven’t been there before, I’ve heard about the venue’s unique charm and elegance. This blog post is my exploration of Newton Hall’s rich history, what I expect during Emma and Pete’s wedding, and my plans for capturing unforgettable photographs. Let’s look forward to this journey together!

Nicola and Rob's Magical Wedding Day at North Shields

As a wedding photographer, each celebration I capture is unique, and the wedding of Francesca and Chris was no exception. The day was filled with laughter, love, and some unexpected but delightful surprises that made their day truly unforgettable. Having the privilege of being part of such a special day is always an honour, but this particular wedding at The Story, Mount Oswald, Durham, followed by a reception at The Sheraton Lounge in Newton Aycliffe’s Big Club, was one for the books.

Reflecting on the day, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Amanda and Laura’s wedding at Branxholm Park House was everything they had dreamed of and more. It was a celebration of love, friendship, and joy, a day where every detail came together to create something truly magical.

As I set out on this journey to capture Amanda and Laura's special day, I can't help but feel a surge of excitement. Tomorrow’s venue, Branxholm Park House in Hawick, Scotland, promises not just a beautiful backdrop but also a fascinating slice of history. As a wedding photographer with a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for heritage, I’m thrilled at the opportunity to work in such an illustrious location.

Today I have had the absolute pleasure of photographing Maxine and Thomas' unforgettable wedding at the newly reopened Country pub, The George, in the idyllic village of Piercebridge. This event was nothing short of magical, and I'm excited to share the details. Not only will you get a glimpse into their special day, but you'll also learn a bit about the rich history of The George, a beloved landmark in Piercebridge.

St. Catherine’s Church and Redworth Hall both provided the perfect setting for this celebration. Historical charm and serene beauty added a timeless quality to the day. The warmth of the sun, the heartfelt service by Linda, and the joy of family and friends all came together to create a day that was truly special.

Every bride dreams of capturing the magical moments of her wedding day in photographs that she can cherish forever. However, for many, the thought of being in front of the camera can be daunting.
