Some weddings just mean that little bit more ❤️

A huge congratulations to Mathew & Courtney, who celebrated their wedding at the beautiful Ramside Hall, followed by an incredible evening in the Barn Marquee.

Mathew isn’t just one of our grooms — he’s Josh’s best mate, with Josh having the honour of standing beside him as Best Man. So for this one, Josh swapped the cameras for a suit, while David took over behind the lens to capture the day from start to finish. 📸

It was brilliant to see two people we know so well surrounded by their family and friends, celebrating, laughing and making memories together.

An amazing day, a packed dance floor and plenty of moments we know they’ll look back on for years to come.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Kirby❤️🥂

📍 Ramside Hall, County Durham

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!

Chihuahua Appreciation Post! Is 4 too many? I don't think so!

Thank you Kate for bringing them all in the studio and for having your photo taken with them too.

Here's some of my favourite photos from the shoot.

If you're wondering how we take each pet separately and then get a one of them all together - you will have to book a Pet Photography experience with us and find out!

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.
