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!!

A gorgeous two bride wedding at Matfen Hall (Nikki & Catherine)

I was absolutely thrilled to be part of Nikki & Catherine's special day in May at Matfen Hall  in Northumberland. The couple are huge football fans and chose a black and white colour scheme for their wedding to celebrate their love of Newcastle United. 

Nikki's dress & and the bridesmaid dresses came from Mao Couture Bridal. Donna Ganley from Powder and Pin Ups in Sunderland did the make up for both brides.

The wedding bouquets and centre pieces were from floral expert Jean Hepple.  they chose white gerberas to match with their black and white theme. 

By Wendy Unique Stationery created the table plan, names and menus, in a Gatsby style. The tables were name after the ladies favourite drinking places!

Catherine & Nikki had a lovely tiered cheese cake from Churchmouse Cheeses, topped with their homemade fabulous wooden peg doll toppers, even featuring their cats. 

Both Dads made lovely speeches, and their maid of honour, Roisin made a fabulous speech featuring props, lots of funny moments and even a message from Alan Robson from Metro Radio! 

Catherine wrote a poem for Nikki which she read out. All the speeches were fab, funny and moving!

After the meal we popped outside for some photographs in the beautiful evening light.

Instead of a traditional first dance, Nikki & Catherine chose '500 miles' to dance to with all of their family and friends joining in and freestyling.
