I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO LUCY AND PAUL'S WEDDING AT SEAHAM HALL.
We had every weather apart from snow during my time with them and their families at St Peter's church Wolviston and at Seaham Hall, but it was a great relaxed day, really chilled out and a wonderful day of celebration.
I started at Lucy's lovely home, taking photographs of her preparing for her big day with her family around her, including their children Sadie and Max.
Afterwards I met up with Paul at the church, and while nervous, he said that he was looking forward to the ceremony - and I thought he was about to faint when he saw how stunning Lucy looked in her dress!
Just as we were leaving church, the skies turned black and the rain came down heavily as we headed up the A19 on the short trip to Seaham Hall.
Our welcome from the staff was as nice as always, with a homely feel to this fine hotel and spa, and the one long table that was set out was fit for a King and Queen!
Before long, the heavy gray skies cleared and we were out on the terrace in the bright sunshine with blue skies and white fluffy clouds - and champagne and Pimms of course...
A wonderful wedding breakfast with tears and laughter over the speeches meant that we had some time for the three of us to wander the hotel and grounds and the spa to spend some time together and create some nice photographs before their evening guests turned up.
Paul and Lucy selected me to be their photographer as they were both nervous about posing, and after seeing my BLOG and website they knew that I let my brides and groom and their families and friends get on and enjoy their day - capturing lovely photographs of them all having a great day of celebration with minimum interruptions - and that's how we worked it between us all.
After their first dance on the floor with their children involved too, it was time to make my excuses and leave after a successful day photographing their fun and the joy and the happiness
'Standard' wedding photography at Seaham Hall costs £1495 with smaller weddings with less than 35 guests, midweek, cost from £750, these options are also available 10 weeks before a Saturday or Sunday if the date is free.
A3 wedding books are from £400 with all parent books and mini-books available from the top companies around the world

THERE'S SOME GREAT WEDDING VENUES AND LOCATIONS IN COUNTY DURHAM FOR YOUR GREAT DAY OF CELEBRATION

RELAXED INFORMAL GROUP ON THE LAWN AT REDWORTH HALL - PHOTOGRAPHED BY DIRK VAN DER WERFF
SEE MY INSPIRATION BOARD ABOUT COUNTY DURHAM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, COUNTY DURHAM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS AND NATURAL COUNTY DURHAM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY ON PINTEREST, HERE


If you are planning on getting married in County Durham there's a vast array of wedding venues and destinations to choose from, but for the discerning bride and groom who want something different or a location to remember, you are spoilt for choice.
Rockliffe Hall is a grand new wedding venue, this fantastic new addition to Durham wedding locations offers a contemporary, 5 Star modern wedding venue in grand surroundings surrounded by hundreds of acres of parkland and a golf club at Hurworth, south of Darlington.
See Stephanie's wedding at 5 Star Rockliffe Hall in 2012 HERE
Redworth Hall is a beautiful wedding venue and fantastic for your wedding photography (see Anne and David's wedding above) , with both The Great Hall in high demand as well as larger and smaller more modern rooms located on this first floor. 
See Danielle's 2012 wedding at Redworth Hall HERE 
If you want a castle, then Walworth Castle is close-by, whereas the flavour of the moment in wedding venues, and always towards the top of the list for any County Durham wedding is Headlam Hall.

This wedding venue too has also had a recent refurbishment of facilities, with the new Spa and bedrooms complimenting the beautiful country house hotel set in parkland to the west of Darlington - this is quite some backdrop for your wedding photographs (see Rhoanne's wedding above) and one of my favourite County Durham wedding venues.
SEE AMANDA AND NICK'S 2012 HEADLAM HALL WEDDING HERE
Manor House Country House Hotel in West Auckland is also a wedding venue to consider.
Durham City itself is full of great wedding venues - particularly Durham Castle, Van Mildert College and many other universities and colleges.
GETTING READY FOR THE BIG DAY AT BOWES MUSEUM IN BARNARD CASTLE - PHOTOGRAPHED BY DIRK VAN DER WERFF
 The Radisson SAS Hotel on the waterfront in Durham is another great new wedding venue - well worth a visit when you are planning your wedding celebrations.

Durham is a BIG county, and in the west there are the great wedding venues
Bowes Museum which is a wonderful wedding venue and something totally different (see Gill's wedding above) and The Morritt, which are both well established, and itn the case of Bowes Museum VERY different for a civil ceremony! The Royal County Marriott Hotel in Durham is well established.
Hotel Bannatyne is now a popular exclusive use wedding venue in Darlington with an intimate feel for your civil wedding ceremony.
Hallgarth Golf and Country Club also has new owners and a lot of refurbishment work has now been completed, making this a great location to have your wedding.
Beamish Hall is perhaps the most popular location in the north of the county along with Lumley Castle of course, both outstanding locations with a long history and heritage.
Whitworth Hall Hotel is always a surprise to those who first visit, particulalrly the grounds with the herds of deer.


LUCY AND HER BRIDESMAIDS HAVING FUN AT SEAHAM HALL AND SERENITY SPA - PHOTOGRAPHED BY DIRK VAN DER WERFF
Seaham Hall Hotel and Serenity Spa is something really special (see Lucy's wedding above) , with numerous awards under it's belt. If it's fine food, grand location and a sense of history you want - then Seaham Hall has everything

PAUL AND LUCY'S WEDDING AT SEAHAM HALL HOTEL AND SPA


LUCY AND PAUL AT SEAHAM HALL FOR THEIR WEDDING
I love photographing weddings at Seaham Hall Hotel and Spa - it's just such a unique location and quite a magnificent small hotel.
Seaham Hall is where Lord Byron married Lady Annabella Milbanke in 1815.It’s licensed for civil weddings and is an fantastic place for a great wedding celebration. 
The food is superlative, the service is seamless and the place just oozes style.
I met with Paul and Lucy recently and talked about their wedding day in August, I showed them some of the wonderful A3 size USA photobooks I now offer and they loved them!
We talked for ages, about their day and about the photography with their delightful daughter having fun around us too.I felt that we hit it off and I was very much looking forward to being part of their day.
Luckily, they were impressed enough to book me to capture their special day with some wonderful natural wedding images at Seaham Hall!

UPDATE .... PAUL AND LUCY'S WEDDING AT SEAHAM HALL IS HERE
