“THE PICTURES CAPTURE OUR DAY SO WONDERFULLY. EMILY SEEMED TO BE EVERYWHERE – EVEN RISKING LIFE AND LIMB TO GET CEILIDH ACTION SHOTS!”

Hannah and Aiden got married in spring at the beautiful Summerhill Bowling Club, which is a quirky old Bowling Club in Newcastle city centre. It was one of the most fun weddings I’ve shot and even the weather played ball!

The ceremony was a beautiful service at St George’s Church, Jesmond. During the ceremony they had several beautiful readings from friends and family. It was so meaningful and so personal.

The reception was across town at the Summerhill Bowling Club, Newcastle. They chose Summerhill Bowling Club because it’s so cosy and relaxed and they just fell in love with it. It was a DIY Festival themed wedding, which was so much fun. I love shooting Summerhill Bowling Club weddings because it’s just so so relaxed. Who knew such a quirky little place existed so close to Newcastle city centre!?

They had drinks and canapes in the afternoon, and a Celidh band in the evening. They decorated the venue with bunting and flowers, because it fitted in with their relaxed festival vibe.

For dinner they had proper wedding grub, which was absolutely delicious. The first dance involved the wedding party getting on the dancefloor to get the dancing going, and they finished off the evening with a ceilidh.

The most fun part of the day was the afternoon reception, because they had so many fun games for everyone to play. They also did a ceilidh during the party – it was brilliant fun!

Hannah and Aiden’s wedding was so laid back and so much fun. Here’s their gorgeous wedding!

RELAXED MARQUEE WEDDING IN LANCHESTER

IF YOU LOVE HAVING A GOOD OLD KNEES-UP WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS THEN YOU’LL LOVE THIS RELAXED MARQUEE WEDDING!

Gemma and Martin got married at the impressive St Joseph’s Church in Stanley, and then headed to Crinnions in Lanchester, County Durham, in July. It was a relaxed marquee wedding, with tealights on the tables and flowers as the main decor.

Getting ready

Gemma got ready at her house with her bridesmaids, flower girls and paige boy, and there was such a happy vibe. Lots of excited young flower girls and boys. She wore a gorgeous dress from Wed2B in the Metro Centre, and looked so incredible. She then hopped into a fancy wedding car to get to the ceremony.

The ceremony

The ceremony took place in a beautiful church in Stanley. The ceremony was inside the Church, which was just stunning, with personal touches like readings from the children and Gemma’s brother. The ceremony began with Gemma being walked down the aisle by her little boy, and finished with the happy newlyweds walking down the aisle and being showered with colourful confetti. It was a beautiful ceremony, full of excited hand squeezes and nervous giggles.

After the ceremony, we travelled to the reception, which was really chilled out. Then the couple mingled with their guests, which was the perfect time for me to get candid photos. I got some lovely guest photos as they enjoyed the afternoon – There were some amazing-looking gins coming back from the bar! The weather was so hot and sunny, with the odd thundery downpour – which didn’t cool things off whatsoever!!!, but it was a beautiful day.

The reception

Gemma and Martin chose to have their relaxed marquee wedding at Crinnion’s because it’s so cosy and relaxed, and it’s near their home. Crinnion’s is an understated pub, and it’s got such a stunning back garden you wouldn’t know was there – complete with a marquee! It was perfect, especially at sunset when the golden sun is glowing.

For the reception, the couple wanted a super chilled-out vibe, and everyone loved it – drinks in the sunshine – perfect!  Everyone was then called in for the wedding breakfast. They had speeches before the meal, which were so emotional – plenty of tears and laughter.

The party

After dinner, everyone had some cake, and the evening got started. The live band kept the party going all night.

The evening ended with Jagerbombs all round, which was so much fun. The whole relaxed marquee wedding was so laid back, from the beautiful vows to the last dance. One of the best moments of the wedding was the dancing, because everybody let their hair down. The relaxed vibe was also a talking point of the wedding – it was exactly as Gemma and Martin had planned it!

I loved this Crinnion’s wedding so much. If you’re getting married and looking for a relaxed wedding photographer, get in touch. Here are the photos!
