Recent Weddings, the stories so far....

Nicole + Chris's wedding photography from Middleton Lodge.
19th January 2020
Methods: Romantic / Sophosticated / Fun-Loving / Natural
A really nice couple. I genuinely connected with their sweetness as a couple which I feel you can see in the confetti shot here. Nicole had a natural sophistication about her, and Chris and I had a few conversations where i felt like we connected. The group were very lovely and attentive the Manor House was just a perfect setting for this wedding party. I made 2 friends at this wedding and I hope to bump into them again in the future which is quite likely as they live fairly close. Love_life+family-PL. xx
Lauren + Andrew’s wedding photography from La Shangri-La, Paris, France.
13th January 2020
Methods: Romantic / Sophosticated / Fun-Loving / Natural
This wedding was a fab experience. Lauren and Andrew were eloping from Melbourne, Australia to Paris for their wedding and were looking for a photographer who could also do videography. I was introduced to their culture and their fun wellbeing as well as their more sophisticated side. We dined at La Procope which was one off the oldest restaurants in the world where President Roosevelt dined. We danced the night away in the streets of St Germain and completed the evening with wine on the balcony of the Shanrgi-La overlooking the twinkly lights of the Eiffel Tower. Thanks for an amazing time guys. Love_life+family-PL. xx
Emma + Chris's wedding photography from Healey Barn.
11th January 2020
Methods: Romantic / Rustic / Fun-Loving / Natural
Emma + Chris. Two very fun and wonderful people who worked together very well. I got along with Chis straight away, he was like an old college buddy, smart and witty and up for a laugh. Emma was one of the girls, but a nice mix of sophisticated and very down to earth. Being winter it pretty much rained all day, and we didn't want to get any marks on Emma's silk dress. As the night went on though we decided to pop outside for a 5 second jaunt to get this shot below. Thank you both for your hospitality and good nature. I made 2 friends this day!

8th December 2019
Methods: Romantic / Epic / Fun-Loving / Natural
With little light outdoors there was plenty of things we could do inside Lumley Castle. Just a mere spotlight in the main entrance to the dungeon, i had a feeling it hadn't been done before. Both Kirsty and Sean were good sports though following my direction we got loads of stuff, the natural work we got was really nice too. Congrats guys!
Ashleigh + Lee's wedding photography from Healey Barn.
24th November 2019
Methods: Rustic / Romantic / Fun-Loving / Natural
Some couples are just perfect. These guys were a perfect match, perfect to work with, perfect together, perfect promoters of my work to their friends, and had perfectly matching kiddy bowl cuts in their younger years as the photos that were passed around showed. (hehe). Thank you for both being so great on your day and come and meet me for a coffee one day!

Rachel + Edward were a lovely couple, favouring that calm but fun vibe. We had some very interesting light to play with so got a few cool shots that have never been done before at this venue. The day was a scorcher and Rachel and Edward enjoyed some great times with friends and family. Thank you both for letting me a part of your day. Best wishes for the future. Love_life+family-PL xx

3rd March 2019
Methods: Romantic / Quirky / Fun-Loving / Natural
With so much on the line, family, friends, suppliers bunched together to make this the wedding to remember. It was truly an awesome day for all as we started with snowballing at the Baltic and ended with sparklers at the Vermont. What an amazing feat this wedding really was. It was unprecedented, unheard of and we knocked it out of the park. A very special occasion indeed! Love_life+family-PL xx
Georgi + Danny's wedding photography from Askham Hall.
31st-1st January 2019
Methods: Romantic / Epic / Fun-Loving / Natural
Spending New Years with a nice couple and a fab party was actually quite a memorable experience. Georgi and Danny were good company and nice and down to earth with a lot of fun as the evening got on. I really felt like one of the party by the end. We had little pop over to the Castle for a few shots and utilised the grounds at Askham despite quite a lot of rain. Thanks for having me guys, it certainly was a New Years I wont forget! Love_life+family-PL. xx
Sarah + Craig's wedding photography from Doxford Barns.
18th November 2018
Methods: Rustic / Unique light use / Fun-Loving / Natural
Craig was instantly like an old buddy of mine, we had a few laughs in the morning and worked well throughout the day with the photography. Sarah was a good match for Craig, classy, quaint and they were both very smart. This is one of my favourite pictures from the day although there were so many. I just feel like I captured Sarah in a really natural way. xx
Holly + Neil's wedding photography from Doxford Barns.
11th November 2018
Methods: Epic / Discreet / Relaxed / Natural
We first met down at Whitley Bay at St Mary's lighthouse for a pre-shoot. Upon meeting Holly & Neil, I realised that they really enjoy the high life and life in general which is great for my style of work. I immediately knew that my natural work would be a hit but in the spur of the evening I approached them with a more epic piece. It is something never done before too, exposing for the stars in the sky and lighting with a car behind and two sidelights whilst using 2 smoke grenades with a mix of green and white. This is the end result and to be honest I do love the natural work that we got, but this is a once in a lifetime image. 2 lovely people with fantastic spirits and families to match! Keep doing your thing guys you are awesome!
Anabelle + Gareth's wedding photography from Middleton Lodge, Yarm.
4th November 2018
Methods: Epic / Discreet / Relaxed / Natural
Middleton Lodge is one of those venues that works perfectly for weddings. Anabelle & Gareth were the perfect couple and the venue was completely fitting for their special day. I got to know Anabelle and bridesmaids quite well throughout the day, and they made me feel like a part of the wedding. It was great to see that everyone was there to have a great time. There was a lot of magic between Anabelle and Gareth too you could see that they were such a great match, and this created some truely great imagery. Thank you guys! xx
Fran + Anil's wedding photography from Le Petit Chateau, Northumberland.
28th October 2018
Methods: Epic / Discreet / Relaxed / Natural
This was my first outing at Le Petit Chateau. Le Petit Chateau is a new venue and perfect for my style, and I was in luck that the one and only fire fountain in the UK was operating, so amongst all of the fabulous images we got it was a great opportunity to capture the flames rising from the water. It required 3 off-camera lighting tools to make the shot work, so this here is a shot you possibly won't see again. On the day Fran and Anil were a great and very natural couple to work with so the photography was designed more around their personalities than tediously dragging them around the hotspots. We got some fantasic natural images though, hopefully they will let me blog the wedding and show off the high energy that was there on the day. Fran's sister is a celebrity so there were a few celebs in attendance. It was great working with you guys and lovely to see how much you were both in love. Congrats again! Paul.
Joanna + Richard's wedding photography from Healey Barn.
21st October 2018
Methods: Rustic / Epic / Fun-Loving / Natural
Joanna and Richard were a very sweet couple with a nice set of family and friends. They were very laid back on the day and were happy to pop out for a second to get this epic shot. Richard's uncle Andy Serkis was present who is a A-list hollywood film star, so it was interesting mingling and chatting with the stars! Best of luck for the future guys and keep in touch! xx
Stephanie + Jonny's wedding photography from Middleton Lodge.
16th September 2018
Methods: Unique light use / Sophisticated / Discreet / Natural
It was my first visit to Middleton Lodge, but earlier in the week when I did my recci after a few hours scoping out the venue it was clear that there were so many opportunities here and many that had not been done before. On the day Jonny and Steph were just out to have a great time and mingle with guests, with the options available it was easy to cater my ideas to what worked for them when they were ready. A nice, smart couple and a lovely day altogether.
Olivia + Matthew's wedding photography from Middleton Lodge.
9th September 2018
Methods: Romantic / Sophisticated / Fun-Loving / Natural
Le Petit Chateau is getting to be a regualr place for my work, it certainly suits the style of venue. Olivia and Matthew were a very natural couple with a huge group of friends. Actually when i think back to the fun we had it would be awesome to see them again in a future wedding. A great selection of family and friends. It was great working with you guys. xx Paul.
Shelley + Tom's wedding photography from Whalton Hall.
2nd September 2018
Methods: Romantic / Sophisticated / Discreet / Natural
What i love the most about my job, is meeting fantastic people. Tom and Shelly both keen travellers and doctors and just starting out in life had such a wonderful aura about them. There was a sense of adventure and a sense of longing and the feeling that this step meant so much in their lives. Best of luck for the future and may many more adventures lie ahead! Paul.
Rebecca + Christopher's wedding photography from Headlam Hall.
28th August 2018
Methods: Romantic / Classical / Discreet / Natural
I like to do something a little different and this shot has never been done before at Headlam Hall so it was quite special. We had a lovely day with Rebecca and Chris and on the way back from the church I had this field spotted so we popped in for a quick photo. Thanks for a fab day guys! Paul.
Justine + Paul's wedding photography from Woodhorn Museum.
5th August 2018
Methods: Quirky / Fun-Loving / Relaxed / Natural
This wedding really was a perfect fit for my style and approach. It was different and quirky and best of all we had a lot of fun. Every wedding is so different and it really is about reading the couple and understanding their needs with a bespoke design. Paul and Justine were a pleasure to work with and I am looking forward to seeing them again at future weddings. xxx Paul.
Helen + Wayne's wedding photography from Eshott Hall.
1st July 2018
Methods: Romantic / Sophisticated / Rustic / Natural
Eshott Hall is a venue of many possiblities with both inside and outside ceremony areas. With the right lighting you can really put your own stamp on this venue which is what we did with Helen and Wayne's rustic wedding. Both doctors understanding the preciousness of time, so we didnt spend a lot of time getting couple shots but we aimed for quality. Their natural love for each other and sense of humour allowed us to get something magical and never done before at Eshott. Congratulations guys.
Louise + Lee's wedding photography from Bambrough.
24th June 2018
Methods: Romantic / Sophisticated / Fun-Loving / Natural
Louise and Lee certainly were a lovely couple to be around, Louise was a very natural and lovely person and Lee a very charasmatic and fun person, the combination of them both along with their dog Murphy were a great family together. On the day there were laughs all round and nice quiet moments where we escaped to the beach. I made some lovely friends during this day, best of luck for your future together! Paul.
Rachel + Andrew's wedding photography from Woodhill Hall.
17th June 2018
Methods: Romantic / Whimsical / Relaxed / Natural
Rachel and Andrew were a very nice and down to earth couple who had full trust in my work. With such a scorcher of a day we were spoilt for choice for opportunities. A lovely crowd in attendance and a few guests who knew of my work put a smile on my face. The whimsical wonderland wedding came true for Rachel and Andrew and what a wonderful day it was!
Heather + Ian's wedding photography from Doxford Barns.
25th May 2018
Methods: Romantic / Whimsical / Relaxed / Natural
Having already done a pre-shoot with Heather and Ian it was like old friends reuniting again at the wedding. Every wedding I do at a repeat location gets a new wedding story. Heather and Ians wedding was no different as we ventured to the secret meadow and took the very first shots there. They were so relaxed and could just let go and be themselves so it was fun to get a few couple shots and individual portraits of the bride such as this image below.
Rachel + Jonathan's wedding photography from Bamburgh Church.
13th May 2018
Methods: Sophisticated / Discreet / Relaxed / Natural
Rachel and Jonathan were a very nicely suited couple, I think in their own words during the speeches they said that they understood each other more than anyone else did. Just watching their body language they really were as one, they perfect. xx
Sarah + Kevin's wedding photography from Healey Barn.
11th May 2018
Methods: Epic / Discreet / Relaxed / Natural
Some of the sunsets at Healey Barn are just outstanding, and with a sunset around the corner I took Sarah and Kevin to the perfect spot to capture it at its best. Overlooking the valley in this secret location made this picture not only special but unique to Sarah and Kevin. They had a lovely day and this was the perfect way for them to end it. Best of wishes, Paul. xx
Charlotte + Zach's wedding photography from Hexham Winter Gardens.
6th May 2018
Methods: Epic / Discreet / Relaxed / Natural
Charlotte and Zach booked me about 2 years ago so it was a while since we last spoke. We got so many natural and beautiful images that we decided to get a stylish picture that hadnt been done before at the venue. All the guests were a real blast and I made a few friends on the day it was a great wedding and a beautiful setting! xx Best of wishes, Paul. xx
