Wedding Wonder Show (The Biscuit Factory Wedding Fayre) 14th September 2014

Yesterday I exhibited at The  Wedding Wonder Show at The Biscuit Factory  in Newcastle. The fayre was organised in conjunction with Belle Bridal Magazine . I have heard many good things about the wedding fayres that they put on, so decided to give it a go this time.

The Biscuit Factory have created a new space, the Biscuit Room, for weddings and receptions, and this was the first time that the public was able to have a preview of what's to come.  It is light and airy and has wooden floors throughout. I would love to see it all set up for a wedding, it looks a great place.

It was the first time I had the opportunity for people to pick up my new flyer cards, I went for square cards in fine art paper, and they went down a storm!

I didn't get much chance to take photographs as it was so busy with so many couples to chat to through the doors, but here's a few shots of my stall and the day. It's a shame I didn't get to take more but I was there to chat to couples not take photos haha !

Thanks to The Wedding Wonder Show for putting on such a good event. They had live music, a fashion show and the best goodie bags i've seen at a fayre!! 

Here's my stall:

I asked Chris Cross, a fabulous magician if he'd like a photo. Well it turns out, he is the least camera shy person ever, and immediately started posing!

Here's Chris proudly holding his recent wedding award.

Another person I met at the fayre was artist Wendy (Wendy Ann Stanger Textiles) . She can create amazing pieces of art out of wedding bouquets and wedding fabrics... what a gorgeous way to preserve the details of your special day,.... I noticed her as one of my brides has a piece of art made by Wendy,  from her wedding bouquet hanging in her house. 

Teri, from Styled and Seated  (& also Belle Bridal Magazine) was showing a range of her work at the show as well. There were really so many friendly faces there!

And finally I got to chat to Dani, who was helping out Ross from Snaparazzi and Coco Luminaire, they had a range of their amazing things on display.... these really are the original and best quality photo booths and lights in the North East. LOVE the carnival themed LOVE letters... perfection!

Whitley Bay pre-wedding shoot (Morgan & Dan)

Dan & Morgan got married in July at High House Farm Brewery.

We met up at the beach at Whitley Bay, near their home for their pre-wedding shoot in June, and they brought along their children as well to make it a family occasion. It was rather windy but we still had a lovely time. It was wonderful getting to know them more and keep your eyes out for their wedding which will be featured shortly on the blog.

A perfect pink, two bride wedding at Gisborough Hall (Sandra & Beth)

 Sandra & Beth are one of those couples that I clicked with as soon as we met. They were planning their civil partnership when we first met, but thanks to the fantastic change in law were able to get married officially instead!

They chose to have their big day on 8th June 2014 at Gisborough Hall, which is nearby to where they live.  As you can see it was a cloudless day at Gisborough, heavy rain was predicted for all day, but this didn't materialise at all, woohoo!

Sandra had a bespoke trouser suit made from Bex Brides and Beth found her gorgeous silver wedding dress from Elizabeth George Bridal in Darlington.

The great thing about Gisborough Hall, is that they have a big staircase with two sets of stairs, meaning one set of stairs for each bride to walk down! 

After a beautiful, personal ceremony, the Paul Lytton, a fabulous wedding magician entertained their guests who were left amazed.

The gorgeous flowers were created by Beth's cousin who is a talented wedding florist from Flowerlab  in Darlington. They featured roses and peonies with a vintage feel.

Thanks so much for having me photograph your special day and congratulations on becoming Mrs & Mrs!!
