Sarah & Neil's Pre wedding shoot

Sarah & Neil both work for the RAF & at the moment don't get to see each other as much as they'd like, so when I heard they were coming up to the Northeast for Christmas I thought it would be a good idea to hook up with them & take some pictures. What made it even more fun was the snow!!!! Although the temperatures felt like -10 it didn't seem to bother them (or at least if it did they didn't mention it)! The couple will be getting married in April this year at Linden Hall & with Neil being a Scot he has informed me the lads will all be in kilts (lets hope it's a wee bit warmer come April!!!! ;-)

Here are just a few of the images from their lifestyle shoot.

Fiona & Phil's Pre Wedding photo shoot

Fiona & Phil will be married this November at Matfen Hall. I'm hoping Matfen have their Christmas decs up by then as this will simply add to the splendour of this gorgeous venue.

Phil is a sports journalist & Fiona is a probation officer, I totally take my hat of to her as I think it takes great courage & strength.

Both living in York, they travelled up to Newcastle for their pre shoot. Unfortunately the weather was bad with heavy rain so we started our shoot in the studio until the rain got slightly lighter. Thankfully we managed to get out if only for a short while dodging the rain. I much prefer outdoor photography due to the fact there are some great locations with gorgeous colours & textures to use as backdrops. I look forward to their wedding in November.

Jamie & Steven's Pre Wedding Shoot

Jamie & Steven will be married in Chelsea in October. Both being big on travel & not having visited Newcastle before, they decided to travel up from London for their pre shoot & then have a week in the Lake District.

I'm really excited about this wedding as this will be my first traditional Chinese wedding I have photographed & there are a lot of rituals they carry out that are very different to an English wedding, like the hair combing ceremony & the tea ceremony.

There will be an early Chinese lunch for everyone at a restaurant in Chelsea & then off to the Town Hall for the wedding.

Chelsea Town Hall is a beautiful piece of late Victorian architecture situated on London's famous Kings Road, with marble columns & vaulted ceilings to name just a few of its splendid features.

They have timed for 3 hours photography around London after the ceremony so I'm rather thrilled about that, fingers crossed the weather is good!!! :-)

Jamie & Steven are both great fun to be around & I look forward to meeting them again for their wedding! :-)

Amy & Andrew's Pre Wed shoot

Amy & Andrew will be married in October this year at Matfen Hall. Our location for their pre wedding shoot was Saltwell Park. I hadn't been to this park in years & had remembered it to be a really nice park back then. There are just so many different areas to this park that make it really stand out from others.

It was a red hot day & so the park was quite busy with kids playing & families out for the day. Thankfully being photographed amongst it all didn't seem to bother Amy & Andrew after a while. They photographed so well & I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them both, once one starts to get the giggles the other does too & it made it so much more fun & refreshing to see two people so happy together!

Here are some of the images from their photo shoot.
