Crook Hall Wedding Durham: John & Claire

John & Claire got married in August at St Michaels & All Angels Church, Houghton-le-Spring, near Durham.

They had a morning ceremony, followed by an afternoon reception at Crook Hall & Gardens, a beautiful old quirky venue, tucked away just near the city centre of Durham. It has SO many photography opportunities, that despite the rain we still went to take various photographs around the grounds. I had my eye on this venue for many months so was most excited at the opportunity to photograph this wedding.

Claire & John chose a plum/deep purple colour scheme for their wedding and had lots of calla lillies feature in their day too.

Newcastle Christening Photographer: Peter William's Big Day!

I love to photograph christenings and this special day at the beginning of October was no exception! 

Little boy Peter, at 22 months was full of energy and excitement for his christening day. The ceremony took place at St Helens Church at Low Fell, which is a beautiful church with a stunning spire, I have recently photographed a wedding there and was looking forward to returning.

Parents Julia & Simon welcomed their guests of close family & friends outside in the lovely autumn weather. After the short service there was time for some group photographs outside, and then everyone moved onto to the fabulous Eslington Villa, just down the road for a slap up Sunday dinner and a relaxed afternoon.

 Eslington Villa is a gorgeous little venue, tucked away in leafy grounds with some quirky features such as a colourful collection of bird boxes on the tree, hanging lanterns and even a smoking shack with various decorations. The staff were brilliant and I'd thoroughly recommend it as a venue for functions and weddings. I hope to return to photograph a wedding there sometime.

 A family member had created a beautiful cake for the occasion and the children were kept entertained with presents from the family. After lunch, I had the opportunity to take some more portraits of Peter & the guests.

It was rather challenging capturing a shot of 6 wriggly toddlers & babies in one photograph, but with the help of a bit of crazy face pulling and putting some random toys on my head to keep the children interested, I managed it.
