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.

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, 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.

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.

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.
