🌌✨ Back at Leazes Park for The Northern Lights!

Last year’s Northern Lights at Leazes Park, Newcastle was nothing short of magical — an incredible mix of art, light and atmosphere that turned the park into a glowing wonderland. 🌟

We had the pleasure of photographing the full event — from the stunning light installations to the families, couples and friends who came out to experience it. Capturing those smiles, reflections, and pure awe under the lights was unforgettable.

This year, we’re thrilled to be back again to photograph the brand-new installations and everyone attending. Expect even more colour, creativity and festive spirit — and we can’t wait to see what this year’s show brings. 🎄

If you’re visiting the Northern Lights this season, make sure to look out for our cameras and give us a wave — you might just spot your photo afterwards! 📸

📸✨ Behind The Scenes with Rosie

We had the amazing Rosie in the studio this week to create fresh branding portraits for her new business — “Behind The Scenes ” — a wedding content creation service that captures all the real, unfiltered moments on your big day.

We shot a mix of styles: relaxed lifestyle images with her ☕ coffee, 📱 phone, and 💻 iPad, plus polished headshots on different backgrounds to match her new brand.

It’s always inspiring helping local creatives bring their ideas to life — and Rosie absolutely smashed her session!

👉 Follow her at BehindTheScenes to see her in action.

⚽️❤️ A special one for me today — standing with my uncle, Sunderland AFC legend Gordon Armstrong, at a game this season.

For those who don’t know, Gordon scored that famous FA Cup goal against Chelsea in ’92, and he’ll always be remembered as one of Sunderland’s greats. But beyond the football, he’s always been an inspiration and I’m proud to call him family.

I’m hugely thankful to have him as an uncle!

(And for any of our Newcastle United followers reading this… don’t worry, I won’t rub it in too much. 😉)

Legends on the pitch. Family off the pitch. Memories for life.

– Josh

🎾When we’re not behind the camera, you’ll often find my dad and I out on the padel court. It’s our way of switching off, having a laugh, and a bit of friendly competition (he still swears he’s the better player 😉).

Photography has always been the thing that connects us as father and son — but padel is another way we keep that bond strong. Just like in the studio, it’s all about timing, teamwork, and capturing the perfect shot (only this time it’s the ball, not the moment!).

If anyone fancies a game with us, let us know — we’re always up for a good match, whether it’s on the court or behind the lens. 📸🎾

Here’s to great rallies, great memories, and great photos.

– Josh & David

👋 Hello to all our old and new followers!

I’m Josh from David Lawson Photography Studios in Sunderland. Many of you will know us as a father-and-son team — I’ve been lucky enough to learn the craft of photography from my dad, David, and now we get to work side by side every day.

Photography has always been more than just taking pictures for me. I love capturing the moments people treasure most — whether that’s weddings, families, new arrivals, pets, or the excitement of an event. Every shoot is different, and that’s what keeps me inspired.

Outside of the studio, I’m passionate about creativity, design, and meeting new people. I’m also looking forward to growing what we do here — from new portrait experiences and commercial projects, to expanding more of our work in Spain where we’re building something really exciting for the future.

Over the coming months and years, my goal is simple: to keep creating meaningful photography that tells people’s stories, to bring fresh ideas into the studio, and to continue building on the amazing 40-year legacy my dad started.

Thanks for being here, whether you’ve followed us for years or just joined recently — I can’t wait to share more behind-the-scenes, new projects, and of course the incredible moments we get to capture with you all.

📸 – Josh

✨ Holly & Haydon’s Wedding at Slaley Hall ✨

This one was really special for me to photograph. I’ve gotten to know Holly over the years through working with her on weddings and wedding shows at Slaley Hall, so to be asked to capture her own wedding day was such an honour. 💍

Holly & Haydon are such a brilliant couple — and their day was a perfect reflection of who they are. From the elegant setting of Slaley Hall to the personal touches they added throughout, everything felt uniquely “them.”

One of my favourite details? Their love for Japanese cars 🚘🇯🇵 Haydon’s passion for fixing them up, paired with Holly bringing along her own car, made for some incredible and very them wedding photos.

It was a day filled with laughter, love, and plenty of style — and I couldn’t be happier for these two. Here’s to a lifetime together ❤️

💍 Jade & Rob’s Wedding Day ✨

Some love stories are written over a lifetime — and Jade & Rob’s is one of them. Having known each other forever, it was so special to see them finally tie the knot surrounded by their closest family and friends ❤️

The day began at the George Washington Hotel, before heading into the city for a beautiful ceremony at the brand new Sunderland City Hall. After saying “I do,” it was back to the George Washington to celebrate in style 🎉

Highlights? Their two amazing sons being part of every moment, arriving in the stunning vintage car🚘, and of course, Jade & Rob showing off their moves on the dance floor 💃🕺

A wedding filled with love, laughter, family, and energy — everything a perfect day should be.

✨ Phil & Charlotte’s Love Story ✨

From the moment I met Phil & Charlotte at the St James’ Park Wedding Show, I knew they’d be a joy to photograph. We first captured their engagement-style photoshoot at the beautiful Longhoughton Beach with their dog Jasper 🐾 — full of laughter, windswept moments, and that unmistakable bond between them.

Fast forward to their wedding day — what a celebration! 💍

🌿 Morning preparations at home filled with excitement
⛪ A heartfelt ceremony at City Church, Newcastle
🌉 Iconic portraits down on the Quayside in front of the Tyne Bridge
🏰 And finally, the grand reception at Doxford Hall — the perfect backdrop to end their day in style.

Every step of their journey has been so special to capture, from sandy walks with Jasper to dancing under the chandeliers at Doxford. A true love story told in photographs ❤️

💍 Abby & Callum’s Wedding at The Old Barn, South Causey Inn ✨

What a day! From the moment Abby walked down the aisle to the last dance under the twinkling lights, their wedding at The Old Barn, South Causey Inn was filled with love, laughter, and so many unforgettable moments.

I’ve had the privilege of being part of their journey — first photographing their son as a newborn in our studio, then their engagement shoot at Gibside 🌿, and now their wedding day surrounded by family and friends. Watching their story unfold through my lens has been something truly special.

The Old Barn was the perfect backdrop — rustic charm, warm atmosphere, and plenty of space to celebrate. Every detail reflected who Abby & Callum are as a couple, making it a day no one will forget.

Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and memories together ❤️
