Janie & John's Wedding - The Grand Hotel Tynemouth

The couple were married at St Mary's in Whitley Bay & then on to The Grand Hotel in Tynemouth for their reception. I joined Janie & John at their church rehearsal the eve before the wedding only to find the vicar didn't allow any photography during the ceremony which she seemed stuck on even when I suggested shooting from the back of the church. I sat at the back throughout the service & now & again had to keep checking my exposures for after the service, I just so happened to get a ton of ceremony shots while doing so, OOPS!!! ;-)

Janie & John are both keen walkers as I found out on our pre wedding shoot when their chosen location was Roseberry Topping in Cleveland. I got to know them both quite well on the pre shoot & found them both to be a really nice, kind & caring couple, so much so they'd requested their guests to give what money they would have spent on wedding gifts to a local charity chosen by Janie & John.

Unfortunately the weather was thick fog on the day of their wedding, but this didn't stop us having some time on the beach & at St Mary's lighthouse for some photos.
Here are just some of the pics form their wedding day!

Helen & Mark's Wedding

Since spending some time with Helen & Mark on their Pre wed shoot I have been really looking forward to their wedding!!! Helen & Mark are a real fun couple & work great together.

The Wedding was at St Peter's in Monkseaton & then on to the Grand Hotel in Tynemouth. Unfortunately the weather was not good but we managed to get a few shots outside the church & the Grand. Later in the day when the sky had cleared, Helen & Mark decided to go down onto the beach along with quite a few of their guests. Off with the shoes, out came the champagne & off Helen ran into the sea!!!! I don't think I have ever met such a fun loving bride who is up for almost anything on her wedding day!!! Thank you Helen, you made my day! ;-)

Here are just some of the images from their day. I'm looking forward to the post shoot when they return from New York, no doubt we'll have more fun!!!
