Wedding Photography Guyzance Hall

Carol & Guy Lawson

We were thrilled to be asked to photograph Carol & Guy's wedding at the exclusive Guyzance Hall in Northumberland. 

We were a little on edge about the weather as the week on the run up had given a lot of rain, but the sun was shining, the flowers were out and everywhere was full of colour and greenery so no need to worry! Guyzance Hall is an amazing building with gorgeous scenery around the grounds with many perfect areas for photo opportunities. They were planning an intimate day focussed on fun and spending time with their closest friends and family.

Tradition went out the window as bride and groom got ready together in the same room with Carol having best pal Sheena on hand to assist with her dress and accessories. 

Guy dressed in a sharp suit and tie while Carol opted for a beautiful soft clover coloured gown and pretty matching lace shrug, she accessorised with purple shoes and some lovely jewellery, with a side tiara in her hair. The running theme of the day was pretty pastel colours for flowers and details throughout the venue.

Carol and Guy chose to walk down the aisle together and entered the room arm in arm with cheshire cat smiles upon seeing all their guests. After their vows the couple had a sand ceremony, we have never seen one of these before so it was a unique twist to the ceremony. Three different sands are poured into a pretty glass bottle which signifies the coming together of the bride and groom to form an indivisible whole, the grains of sand can never be separated. The exchange of rings followed by ‘kissing the bride’ completed the ceremony and we all went outside for some enthusiastic confetti throwing and the group photographs.

Guests enjoyed a selection of drinks and canapés outside on the terrace serenaded by the Brinkburn String Quartet, who also played for the ceremony, which gave a lovely light atmosphere. There were a few tense moments in the games of giant Jenga and connect four which added to the fun. 

They had a lovely meal and there were some brief speeches- one from acting best man Bruce and one from Guy which got some good giggles around the room and came with heartfelt thanks to everyone for attending, they cut their beautiful cake (all handmade by the bride herself!) and were presented by an amazing painting done by Carols sister of the venue which was signed all around by all the wedding guests. 

We had a walk round the gardens with the newlyweds taking in the scenery for some couple photos. Carol and Guy had a lot of fun having their photographs taken which you can see in the images we took, they really show the true happiness of them on the day!

The evening reception was a real party affair with live music and plenty of dancing! Carol threw the bouquet which caused a lot of entertainment for the ladies! The first dance was lively and after a few minutes others couples joined Carol and Guy on the dance floor. Everyone had a great time with our PropBox, which is full of wigs, moustaches, glasses and more, that we brought along too, that always guarantees to serve up some funny photos. There were sweet trees, a fab buffet and an amazing ‘Cheese cake’ to keep the guests going throughout the night. Everyone got a sneak peak at the photos throughout the evening as we also had our projector set up showing a snippet of the day for all to enjoy!

All in all a truly fabulous day for all involved for a wonderful couple with amazing friends and family. They have a stunning album to come and treasure forever along with their cute USB drive containing all their images. There were a number of fabulous suppliers involved in the occasion. We’d like to thank Carol & Guy for letting us be part of their special day and capture those all important memories for them, we had a blast!

Wedding Photography Doxford Hall

Rachel & Andrew Duffy 3^rd April 2014

Rachel & Andrew chose to have a small intimate wedding day with their closest friends and family around them to celebrate. They chose the stunning Doxford hall as their venue, it has beautiful surroundings and is amazing inside as well as out.

As a hairdresser Rachel did her own hair and makeup. She had stayed the night before at Doxford and was getting ready with the help of her mum and her bridesmaid Susan. Rachel’s oldest son George was to give her away and he was getting ready looking very proud. He did a great job of looking after his twin little brothers Max & Jack, they all looked great in their little suits and ties.

Rachel dressed in a gorgeous lace vintage style dress from Debenhams and prepared to walk down the aisle. Emotions were running high with a few tears during the morning.

 The groom was ready and waiting downstairs which gave us a great chance to get a couple of photos in the library with him and his best man, they certainly looked the part!

 For the ceremony Max & Jack came in the room first carrying a cute heart chalkboard, one saying Andrew here comes... and the second saying Your bride. They looked super cute Rachel made a lot of handmade touches that ran throughout the day. It got a bit overwhelming for Rachel who had a few tears coming into the room on seeing her Groom and guests. After a lovely ceremony everyone headed out for a drinks reception, then we went outside for confetti, bubbles and some family shots which was a lot of fun for everyone.

We then had a walk around some of the grounds, all be it a little limited due to mud and wet ground- but that didn’t stop us! The couple wanted some photos on the stone steps, and Andrew happily carried his new bride across the grass so she didn’t ruin her shoes! They have some beautiful romantic shots from outside, it was definitely colder than it looks! We went for an adventure to the library which is full of wonderful old books, antique chairs, wood and a fabulous rocking horse. We spent some time capturing some family pictures and using some props.

It was time for the speeches and afternoon tea then! The groom was overcome a few times he was visibly so happy to be married to his new wife and become stepfather to the children and spend the rest of their lives together. The best man then took the stage and gave many tales about how the couple met (through twitter!) and the escapades of the stag do which caused a lot of laughs. They enjoyed their afternoon tea and that was the end of our part of the day as they weren’t having an evening reception, they were all off for a swim in the pool!

Wedding Photography The Burnside Hotel – Windermere

Jo & Terry Yates

29^th March 2014

We were very honoured to be asked by Jo & Terry to cover their wedding, they are from Wigan and chose us to travel from Newcastle Upon Tyne to their wedding in the lakes. We made a night of it too and stayed overnight at a lovely hotel just down the road. (The Wild Boar Inn) 

What a beautiful day this was! Bright blue skies and sunshine in Windermere, the Lake District. The Burnside Hotel is set a little back up the hill from Lake Windermere, you can see the lake from the terrace. It has beautiful scenery and is bursting with greenery and daffodils this time of the year.

Jo had all her girls with her getting ready and starting the party with some drinks and her maid of honour taking care of all the brides needs. The Groom sent Jo a wedding gift into her room, a stunning bracelet, which caused a few emotional but very happy tears from Jo. (well done Terry!)

Jo looked stunning with a loose up do in her hair and her makeup expertly applied. She wore an amazing ‘Sottero’ dress with crystal heels, her bridesmaids looked the part in striking red floor length matching gowns too! The men were ready and waiting downstairs greeting guests and getting into position for the ceremony!

Jo’s dad proudly walked her down the aisle, the ceremony was lovely and light hearted with a few giggles too! After the couple had "Tied the knot", we had lots of lovely family photographs out on the terrace, and some girly fun photos (this resulted in fits of laughter) and the guys were ‘jumping for joy’ as well! We had a walk round the grounds for some newlywed couple photos then heading indoors for the speeches!

Father of the brides speech was short but heartfelt, the groom did a great job, but the best man stole the show with his tales of the couple resulting in some head in hands moments which we captured perfectly!

The party started in the evening with the first dance which was performed with great style with lifts and dips! Jo & Terry booked our PropBox service also, this served the guests up brilliant entertainment throughout the night with everyone getting involved with things from moustaches and wigs to photo frames and inflatable animals! Some cracking pictures from those antics!

The whole day was fun for all involved, some fab suppliers from all around came together to produce an amazing day for the couple, thanks for allowing us to be part of it and capture your memories! Have a look through the days events below and see what a lovely day everyone had!

Deb and Tom March 21st

The sun was shining for Tom & Deb’s fabulous wedding day at the picturesque Horton Grange Hotel. This venue is a photographers dream with wonderfully planned gardens and areas for your wedding photos. Anyone getting married here has exclusive use of the venue and grounds so its perfect for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves.

The bridal preparations were emotional with all the girls getting ready upstairs together. Tom and his family were downstairs with the nerves setting in! Debra looked stunning in her beautiful navy jewelled gown teamed with an amazing bespoke brooch bouquet. Beth, Debras daughter had a fabulous sunny yellow bouquet matching the mens Gerbera button holes expertly created by Hollie at Fleur Couture.

After a lovely ceremony the celebrations continued with reception fizz outside and the traditional formal family photographs. A candle burned throughout the day in memory of Debras sister. All the men looked amazing lined up in their suits, we had some romantic couples photographs in the ground with the happy couple, and some fun shots with the boys (David the best man split his pants he had such fun!)  

The party continued into the evening, the couple cut the cake and had a romantic first dance where we let off one of our confetti cannons to add some extra flair to the photos before everyone joined them on the dance floor to dance the night away! We had a fabulous day and night with the wedding party, many thanks to them for choosing us to photograph their special day!

We hope you enjoy looking at these images as much as we enjoyed taking them! Here’s how the day unfolded….
