Laura & Alex — Just Married in Sunderland 🤍

From first meeting in the Board Inn, to getting engaged at the Trevi Fountain in Rome, and now officially becoming husband and wife at Sunderland City Hall 🥂

After a beautiful ceremony in the Mayor’s Parlour, we headed outside for the confetti, took a walk across Keel Crossing Bridge, jumped into a Tesla Model X and made our way down to Roker Beach for some photographs with the lighthouse in the background.

Then it was on to the Queen Victoria to carry on the celebrations!

Such a relaxed, fun day with a brilliant couple. Congratulations again, Laura & Alex — we loved capturing it for you both 🤍

Huge congratulations to Alex & Josh 🤍

What a day at Ramside Hall — married in the beautiful Fountain Room, followed by a sun-filled celebration in the Barn Marquee. The drinks were flowing, the speeches brought plenty of tears and laughter, and the dance floor definitely didn’t disappoint!

This one felt extra special for us too, as David photographed Alex’s parents’ wedding around 30 years ago — a lovely full-circle moment to now be there capturing Alex & Josh’s day.

Such a warm, fun couple and an amazing summer wedding from beginning to end. Congratulations again to you both — we loved being part of it! 🥂☀️

There’s something special about capturing a wedding day — the moments you see, and the moments you might have missed. 📸🎥

Photography freezes the memories, while film brings them back to life.

Two ways to relive one incredible day, for years to come.

Memories made. Moments captured. Forever yours.

What's better than Dancing with the Ones you love the most?!

No one wants to be the first on the dance floor but as soon as the Couple does you get shots like this!

We capture all aspects of your wedding day but make sure you save enough energy for the first dance and for the songs to follow after.

Alex & Ryan's home wedding celebrations! Hope you're both enjoying married life!

They'll Never Be This Small Again!

Anyone who has had a newborn baby knows what it's like to see them go from a tiny baby to sitting up, crawling or standing within their first year.

You only get around 3-6 weeks before they start growing faster than you can keep up with!

Don't leave it too late to book one of our Newborn & Family Studio experiences from £99 at our Award Winning Sunderland Studio.

I still absolutely love these pictures of Lyla-Jade and her beautiful family.

Happy Father’s Day to my dad 💙

Not only is he my dad, but my mentor, business partner and best friend. I’m incredibly proud to work alongside him and continue the family business together.

Today, we’re also thinking of everyone who is missing their dad or remembering someone special. Father’s Day can bring a mix of emotions, and our thoughts are with you too.

Wishing all the dads, grandads and father figures a wonderful Father’s Day. We hope you’ve had a day full of love and memories. 💙

We don’t just capture people…

We capture movement.

The way the dress flows, the way the light hits, the way a moment feels as it happens.

This is where photography comes alive.

After photographing so many weddings at Matfen Hall, we’re always looking for new ways to use the space.

Sometimes it’s not about going far…

It’s about seeing what’s right in front of you.
