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.

SOPHIE + MATT - NUNTHORPE // WEDDING

I never expected to shoot a first dance in a church car park with a travelling brass band but I guess 2020 is throwing all sort of weird stuff at us and nothing surprises me much these days.. Sophie and Matt married in Nunthorpe with probably the most beautiful views in Teesside. Their Blackthorn Gate wedding is postponed until next year but it didn’t stop them having a perfectly small wedding with their nearest and dearest followed by a distanced dance-off.

EDDIE + TINA - WORSALL VILLAGE HALL, NORTH YORKSHIRE// THE MAGIC SEVEN

Eddie and Tina married 2 years ago last month (they’ve since brought beautiful Vincent William into the world - the most beautiful blue-eyed boy..) They giggled and smiled all the way through their vows, said I do, came out of the church to be covered in confetti, escaped to their transport under umbrellas during an April shower, hugged, kissed and loved everyone who came to celebrate them and then partied HARD into the night.

ASHLEIGH + RICHARD - THE FIG HOUSE, NORTH YORKSHIRE // WEDDING

It was so good to be back at the beautiful Fig House on the Middleton Lodge estate in North Yorkshire for Ashleigh and Richard’s wedding. These two were joined by their wonderful girl Evangeline, who was a real whirlwind of fun all day and the fact that this day was about the three of them as a family really added something extra-special to the day.

Hannah + Dan | The Talbot, Maltby, North Yorkshire

Hannah and Dan! What a laugher and fun-filled day.. my face actually hurt from smiling and laughing after your wedding!

Hannah and Dan married in Malton, saying ‘I do’ at the town centre church before walking down to the Talbot to celebrate afterwards. They held their reception in the house and then a marquee in the gardens which was styled beautiful with a mix of greenery, elegant touches and nods to Dan’s love of cricket. They danced the night away to a ceilidh (always the best idea IMO) - it was SO much fun and the perfect wedding to end my wedding season on.

Rachel + Thomas | Doddington Hall Wedding, Lincolnshire

I mean.. that light just speaks for itself, doesn’t it? Rachel and Tom had a beautiful September wedding at Doddington Hall in Lincolnshire. The venue was spectacular - totally stunning - and we were lucky enough to have access to the gardens and that sun set for some photos. The main reception was in the Couch House at Doddington Hall, guests played garden games and relaxed before dancing the night away to their rock wedding band Anthemic. Absolutely wonderful stuff.

Here are a few previews from Rachel and Tom’s sunny September wedding day..

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.

Claire + Hamish | Howard Court Tipi Wedding, North Yorkshire

When you mix North Yorkshire with Scotland for a wedding celebration in a field I guess it’s pretty typical that you have to throw some rain into the mix too? I heard it’s lucky for a wedding day, so there you go..

Charlie + Ollie | Malmesbury Abbey Gardens Wedding, Wiltshire

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more beautiful garden than where Charlie and Ollie married.. these two said ‘I do’ at Malmesbury Abbey Gardens in Wiltshire on a warm Summers day before having fizz on the lawn and later heading to the town hall for their evening celebrations. It was a wonderful and relaxed day and such a joy to photograph - it was such a wonderful setting with a wonderful couple.

Lucy + Mark | The Hammer + Pincers Pub Wedding, County Durham

Just look at these two! I absolutely adored Mark and Lucy’s wedding style.. they had a tipi wedding in the grounds of the Hammer and Pincers pub in County Durham with gin bottles, mix tapes, custom wedding art and illustrations.. it was so personal and so perfect.

Also Lucy’s wedding outfit - I’ve never seen anything like it (amazing work from BexBrides)! A custom made, feather embellished kimono style dress with tassels and sewn in touches from her Mum’s own wedding veil.. I could have photographed her in it all day.

It was so fab to be back at Middleton Lodge for Lizzie and Simon’s beautiful wedding. I love a day that is elegant and ends in a good party - such a good combination for a wedding!

It was an absolute pleasure to spend such a relaxed day with these two and their full-of-fun wedding guests - thanks again for having me as part of your celebrations! Here are a few previews for now… Congratulations again you two!

Michaela + Ashley | Hazlewood Castle, North Yorkshire

When Michaela told me about her and Ashley’s ideas for a festival wedding I genuinely didn’t expect the set up to be as amazing as this! Their woodland wedding was held at Hazlewood Castle between York and Leeds, and their wedding was the second ever wedding to be held outdoors in the clearing there - it was the perfect setting for an outdoor festival wedding.

Amy + Steven | Preston Park Museum + Grounds Wedding, Teesside

I really loved being part of Amy and Steven’s intimate wedding at Preston Park Museum and Grounds - they had only immediate family there to celebrate with them and they later announced to the rest of the world that they’d married on the way to their honeymoon that evening! I really love being part of days where couples have done everything completely their own way and created a day that’s perfect for them, and that’s exactly what Amy and Steven’s day was.

Caitlin + Josh | Relaxed Wedding at Home in Middlesbrough

Well, this wedding was a day to remember.. Caitlin and Josh have booked me for their Yorkshire Wedding Barn wedding next May, but due to family circumstances they decided to do the legal bit and have an intimate celebration this year too. Their wedding was full of joy, community, family.. and it really goes to show what weddings are really about - people and love. It was also so, so heartwarming and incredible to see so many of those close to them pulling this day together in around a week.

Lizzie + Mark's Testimonial - Rountons Village Hall Wedding, Northallerton, North Yorkshire | Creative Wedding Photography Teesside + Stop Motion Wedding Films UK

“Sally’s work is just amazing. All our friends and family love the pictures and stop motion of our wedding, they are beautiful and really captured the feel of the day. She has such an attention to detail, from capturing things like the table settings down to how she packages the photos once ready. She put us at ease and helped so much on the day. She listened to what we wanted (didn’t want lots of cheesy big group shots) but captured lots of ‘action’ shots of the guests mingling.”
