When Flossie and Graham tied the knot, it was nothing short of magical. Their wedding took place at Halton Grove, a stunning new venue nestled in the heart of the Northumberland countryside, near Hexham. As a photographer, I’ve been fortunate enough to capture many beautiful weddings, but Halton Grove stood out for its charm, elegance, and picture-perfect setting. This venue has quickly become one of the most sought-after locations for weddings in the region, and it’s easy to see why.

Kelly and Anthony’s wedding at Runa Farm was nothing short of magical, a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Nestled in the picturesque County Durham countryside, Runa Farm provided the perfect backdrop for a celebration that was both elegant and full of fun. From the morning bridal preparations in a breathtaking terraced room to the evening's lively dance party featuring the groovy tunes of Hip Hop Hurray, every detail was meticulously planned and beautifully executed. The atmosphere was electric, the company joyous, and the memories created will be cherished for a lifetime. Here's a detailed recount of the day’s events, capturing the essence of a wedding that was truly extraordinary.

As a wedding photographer, I always aim to capture the essence of a venue—its history, atmosphere, and the emotions it evokes. Next week, I’ll be photographing a wedding at Runa Farm, a venue that has quickly become one of the North East’s most coveted wedding spots. Previously known as Jersey Farm, this property underwent an extensive refurbishment under The Apartment Group's guidance, transforming it into the enchanting Runa Farm we know today.

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!

As some of you may know, my Facebook page was recently hacked, causing significant disruptions to my business, John Alderson Award-Winning Wedding Photography. This has been a challenging time, but I am determined to bounce back and continue capturing your most cherished moments.

Having photographed six weddings in eight days, I thought I'd seen it all. Yet, Rayanna and Danny's celebration at the Woodhouse Close Church in Bishop Auckland, followed by a lively reception at Evenwood Club, was a refreshing reminder of why I fell in love with wedding photography in the first place.

Nicola and Rob's wedding was a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. With the sun shining brightly on North Shields Register Office, the stage was set for a beautiful ceremony that would mark the beginning of their lifelong journey together. This special day unfolded in two parts: a heartfelt service at the Register Office and a lively reception at Heaton Road Buffs Club. Each moment was filled with joy, celebration, and the kind of magic that only weddings can bring.

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.
