If you are looking for a wedding destination that will take your breath away, look no further than the North East of England. This region is rich in history and culture, and boasts some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. Imagine saying your vows in front of the ancient Hadrian’s Wall, the awe-inspiring Angel of The North, or the charming Bamburgh Castle – heaven forbid you travel as far as the Lake District wedding photography. You will be surrounded by nature and beauty, and create memories that will last forever.

Alnwick Gardens, Alnwick

If you’re looking for a magical and enchanting wedding venue in the North East of England, look no further than Alnwick Gardens.

Alnwick Gardens is a complex of stunning gardens adjacent to Alnwick Castle, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. It offers a variety of settings for your wedding ceremony and reception, from the contemporary and elegant Pavilion to the rustic and whimsical Treehouse.

You can exchange your vows in the leafy tunnels next to the Grand Cascade fountain, or on the sun-soaked decking surrounded by the woodland. You can enjoy a delicious wedding breakfast prepared by in-house chefs using locally sourced produce, either in the Pavilion overlooking the lawns and fountain, or in the Treehouse among the twisting branches and fairy lights. You can dance the night away with your guests in either venue, or explore the 12-acre garden with its unique features and breath-taking views. I love Alnwick Gardens for creative wedding photography

Top Tips from a North East Wedding Photographer

What a wonderful region of the UK to get married in – from beautiful castles through to glorious beaches there’s a location and theme for everyone! Here are my top tips for planning a wedding in the North East.

And if you want Newcastle Wedding Photography, do get in touch – and of course if you’re tempted by something further afield, I’m a Mallorca Wedding Photographer too!

1) Choose the best wedding photographer for your style and budget

The best creative wedding photographer is one who can capture the emotions, moments, and details of your wedding in a way that reflects your personality and taste. To choose the best wedding photographer for your style and budget, you should first decide on the type of photography style you prefer.

Then look for photographers who specialise in that style and have a consistent portfolio of work that appeals to you. You should also compare the prices, packages, and services of different photographers and see what fits within your budget.

2) Hire reputable and experienced vendors that match your vision.

You’re looking for vendors who have a proven track record of delivering quality products and services, as well as positive reviews and references from previous clients….

…Do your research, ask for recommendations, check their portfolios, read their contracts, and communicate clearly with them. You should also look for vendors who match your vision and budget, meaning they can provide the style, personality, and value that you are looking for.

3) Set a realistic budget and stick to it.

Decide on an amount that you are comfortable spending without taking on debt or compromising your other financial goals. You should also research the average costs of weddings in your area and the types of vendors and services you want.

 A budget planner tool can help you track your expenses and avoid overspending – Hitched has one, but so do many other websites!

Frequently Asked Questions

I edit in my signature style – bright and airy. Take a look at my portfolio on this website to get a feel!

I very much blend into the background to make sure I can get the best candid pictures! There are a few times in the day where I’ll be a bit more interactive, particularly you portraits!

I rarely need to – though I will recommend it at larger weddings… and by larger I mean over 200 guests! Otherwise it can disrupt the natural feel of my work

Hundreds! All over the world and in different conditions, so we should be ok 😉
