MARTIN AND JAGDEEN'S WEDDING AT HARDWICK HALL SEDGEFIELD

I met with Martin and Jag a couple of times at different wedding fairs at Ramside Hall, and Hardwick Hall last year as they checked out different suppliers for their Sikh wedding for this year.

Plans changed a little because of unforseen circumstances, but they always had a smile on their faces, and you just knew that however the day turned out - it was going to be a great day!

Luckily, last week, Martin rang to say that they would very much like me to be part of their wedding celebrations at Wynyard and Hardwick Hall and capture some great relaxed wedding photographs of their family and friends having a wonderful time .....

So, if you were planning to invite me to photograph your wedding on Sunday 5th July 2009, I'll be a little bit busy photographing a lovely wedding at Hardwick Hall near Sedgefield

Sunday was a great day. A really great day for Shelley and Stephen's wedding at Langley Castle in Northumberland.
It seemed like they had both been waiting all their lives for each other, and their own speeches made everyone lucky enough to attend this great wedding celebration, told all about the love and affection they both held for each other, their special friends and relatives who travlled from as far as Australia for the wedding at Langley Castle.
I managed to create so many lovely images from the day's events, and soon enough I will post more from the tears and laughter and fun from the day.... but here's a sneak preview from the end of the day in and around the grounds at Langley Castle.
Shelley looked sensational in her hand-made Rosina Brown wedding dress, in beautiful gold and wine red colours and her beautiful 'Scottish Widows' cape looked perfect when we climbed the tower to take some photographs on top of Langley Castle.
It was a great wedding at Langley Castle - and I would be honoured to be considered for your wedding celebrations at this fantastic Northumberland Wedding Venue.

WEDDINGS AT DOXFORD HALL HOTEL AND SPA NEAR ALNWICK NORTHUMBERLAND

Doxford Hall Hotel and Spa is the 'baby' of Brian Burnie, a former Newcastle recruitment company boss, who has invested more than £14million into developing the Doxford Hall Country House Hotel at Chathill, near Alnwick
Mr Burnie, who lives with wife Shirley in the adjacent Doxford Hall, a John Dobson-designed mansion house which dates from the early 19th Century, won planning permission for his hotel scheme in 2000.
And ever since then, the low key project has been slowly progressing, with the specification so good Mr Burnie has nicknamed the hotel “Handmade Hall.”
The hotel has 25 rooms, each named after a Northumbrian castle and guests have access to a health club and a gourmet restaurant.
Mr Burnie wants the building to stand as his legacy – and to be part of the Northumbrian landscape as long as Doxford Hall has been.
He said: “Hopefully it will be around for a couple of hundred years. It will all be based on ‘God’s country’ – Northumberland. I want to be remembered by this magnificent building.
“This has been an ongoing project for quite a number of years. We will be leaving something for future generations. It’s very much a building of minute details – the sort of thing you can’t rush. For instance, all the gutters are lead lined.
“It’s definitely not ‘off the shelf’. We are thinking of nicknaming it ‘Handmade Hall’ as so much has been done that way.
This looks to be a brilliant new wedding venue for exclusivity or for the discerning bride or family wanting a wedding location a little bit different.
I would be honoured to be considered to be your wedding photographer at Doxford Hall Hotel and Spa - our wonderful A3 wedding books would make a great reminder of what would be a very special day!

I first met with Kerry at a Wedding Fair earlier this year, and despite the time-gap, I must have made a small impression as Kerry and fiancee Paul contacted me to come and see them at Tynemouth recently.
 So, on a Sunday afternoon down on the beach at Crusoe's Coffee shop, we had a chat over a HUGE cup of coffee, talked about their upcoming wedding and I showed a few of the beautuful A3 San Francisco wedding books.
 They're going to have a really chilled, family orientated wedding day, a lovely day that they both feel comfortable with in a lovely church with a wedding breakfast in an intimate restaurant and, later on, back down to the legendary Crusoe's for an evening on the beach......

LANGLEY CASTLE WEDDING INVITATIONS - THEY'RE A BIT WILD AND WACKY.....!

I'm so looking forward to covering Shelley and Stephen's wedding at Langley Castle this coming weekend ....

Shelley has been texting me all week saying: 'How exciting, it's snowing ....'.

She will be disappointed on the day however, as the long range seems to suggest it will be grey, overcast and raining ...

Hmmmm. She also intends to drag me to the battlements at the top of the castle during the daylight with Stephen for some dramatic photographs too ....... I hope my insurance is up to date!!

They're such a fun couple and have all sorts of personal touches throughout the day and night to make sure this is such a memorable day - and, as they're both martial arts masters - how about this for a FANTASTIC wedding invitation card for their wedding at Langley Castle ....?
