2020 // LOVE + MAGIC AGAINST ALL ODDS

This year has seen:

A first dance to a brass band in the car park when receptions weren’t allowed // elbow bumps and kisses blown // a wedding planned in three days to get in before November Lockdown 2.0 // face masks for guests hastily made to match outfits // a wedding allowed to have 30 guests with only a day to spare // champagne toasts from a car boot in a lay-by following a ceremony in Tier 3 // sanitiser table favours // would-have-been wedding guests waiting outside ceremonies to show their love from a distance // Zoom and Facebook broadcasts from church..

It’s been love and magic against all odds.

Elinor + James | Wylam Brewery, Newcastle Wedding

What a couple, what a setting and what a wedding! It was my first time shooting at Wylam Brewery for Ellie and James’ wedding, and it was everything I’d hoped it would be and more. I love how they mixed the industrial setting with incredible wildflowers and other details to reflect their personalities (Ellie’s Mum did the flowers and James’ Mum made the cake!) and the whole thing was a beautiful, chilled out celebration in the August sunshine.

Jo + Travis' Testimonial - Eshott Hall Wedding, Northumberland, North East | Creative Wedding Photography + Stop Motion Wedding Films

“Sally was wonderful from the start, put my camera shy husband at ease, and was a joy to have there on the day. The photographs didn’t take up a whole chunk of the day, and apart from the official photographs, She was in the background snapping away. The photographs were beautiful, and the presentation of the box was just lovely. My make up artist said they are the best set of photos she has ever seen. I can’t stop looking at them, and don’t know how I will ever decide which ones to display!”
