NEW! View their wedding photography review HERE

Jennifer and Simon's wedding at Easdon Village and Tynemouth Grand Hotel was such a great day for their family and closest friends.
Simon has often been onboard a survey ship in Antarctica recently and Jennifer is jetting around the world as an engineer, so it was good to see them both together for their wedding day!
We met up in Scarborough for their pre-wedding portraits, a place of childhood memories for Jennifer, and we were back to the seaside for her wedding in the north east of England a few weeks later.
Jennifer and Simon's home was a scene of calm and serenity, though it was a bit odd seeing one of their cats sitting in the sink trying to catch water from the tap, and as much as I would have loved to have joined her and her Mum Anne with their offer of a glass of champagne, I was here to work and to capture the fun and happiness of the day as it all came together.
Bridesmaids were already on site and another one arrvived shortly after me after travelling from York.
Jennifer's Maggie Sottero dress was still hanging in the kitchen after the girls had been boiling pans of water to help steam the few creases away the previous evening - and what a dress!
Mum Anne was helping out all the way, and there was an audible gasp from the bridesmaids when they first saw Jennifer with her dress on.
Then it was off to the lovely old church in Easdon Village to meet Simon and the boys who were busy meeting and greeting guests from all over the country - and they didn't have too long to wait as Jennifer was EARLY!
That doesn't happen too often in my life!
Jennifer and her Mum made sure her lovely dress was immaculate as she entered the church, then Jennifer was led down the aisle by her Chief Bridesmaid, and her Mum 'gave her away' - proudly to Simon.
The service was soon over and we exited the church to dark leaden skies and rain .....  boo!
We decided that a session of family photographs near the church should be abandoned along with a trip to St Mary's Lighthouse too - so it was straight on to the Grand Hotel at Tynemouth, where, as soon as we were settled - the sun came out! Sod's Law of course.
When we sat down for our wedding breakfast (thanks folks!), a double rainbow appeared outside the window, which confirmed to us all of course the Simon and Jennifer's wedding was blessed!
Everyone agreed that the speeches were really good, and beforer coffee and biscuits we decamped to the beach in the last dark 15 minutes before darkness enveloped us, as Jennifer had brought her wellies and wanted to paddle in the sea!
Simon and many of the rest of the party joined her on the beach, and with plenty of fresh air and fun inside us, we headed back for the evening celebrations and their first dance!
A great wedding day for Jennifer and Simon and their closest friends and relatives!
