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.

JENNIFER + PAUL - YARM // WEDDING

Oh my goodness.. actually coming out of what felt like hibernation and shooting an actual wedding felt like such a dream. Jennifer and Paul married in Yarm with only immediate family before heading down the beautiful cobbled streets to nearby Italian deli Borellis for a toast outside in the sunshine. It was intimate, relaxed, full of love and laughter, and just the most special small wedding day.

Kelly + Mark | Middlesbrough Town Hall Wedding

What a gorgeous intimate celebration this was.. Kelly and Mark said their vows in Middlesbrough's beautiful Town Hall in front of family, friends and lots of little ones! The entire day was really informal, and they wandered through the streets afterwards to relax and spend time with their guests. They were accompanied by their gorgeous two girls, and the day was really about family and what these two have together. Here are a few favourites from their day..

Alex & Andy | New Hall Farm Country Durham Intimate Wedding

Oh I love an intimate wedding! Alex and Andy married then celebrated with only their closest family for a perfect small Winter wedding in Country Durham. They hired a farm house in Wolsingham for a few nights, everyone came and stayed, they hired a caterer, champagne was flowing, the sun set, the sparklers came out and as their evening celebrations began so did the cocktail making. It was so relaxed - everyone was just hanging out and celebrating together in the best way. Here are their previews - a beautifully small Winter wedding.
