Last week the sun actually shone for a whole hour!!  Can you remember what you did during that precious time?

Well I know what I did, I went to the Quayside to catch up with Kay and Rob who get married next month.

I cannot wait for Kay and Robs wedding next month, their reception just happens to be at one of my favourite venues, The Baltic!

Kay and Rob claim they're not a photogenic couple but I have to disagree and obviously it was lovely when Kay commented that I was a genius after she'd seen them, haha

If you are planning your 2013 wedding or maybe you've been caught in a whirlwind romance and need a photographer for later this year, please do contact me and I'll hopefully be available to do your wedding photography.

Gaia and Andys Pre-wedding shoot [Photographer Newcastle}

a few weeks ago when the weather was warm and sunny, I went off to a nature reserve near Ryton with Gaia and Andy for their pre-wedding shoot.



I think you can see how very much in love these two lovely people are.



I can't wait for their wedding next June



The great thing about pre-wedding shoots of course is that you can bring along your doggy.



These two are sooooo happy!



Love, love, love, sweet love!

Nigel and Lou - The Engagement Shoot [couples photographer, newcastle upon tyne}

Yesterday I went down to the coast to shoot Nige and Lous engagement session, Nige is a great friend and if I've been at your wedding you may recognise him because he's also my assistant.

Well Nige and Lou are planning a lavish and spectacular wedding next year and I'm honoured that they want me to take care of the photography.

I have to say that this E-shoot is probably the most favourite I've ever shot and considering it was easily the coldest windiest Sunday ever just makes these images all the better.

Wanna see?




Don't they make a fabulous couple?



I adore this one



and this one too!!



Could Nige be possibly the most romantic man ever to have been present at a couples shoot?



can't wait to see them do this dip in their wedding outfits



love, love, sweet, sweet love!

I know that Nige and Lou love these and that makes me so happy because I truly wanted to do an amazing job, you two have such a once in a life time connection I really cannot wait to shoot your wedding next year.

If you would like to feel the love and book yourself a couples shoot please call me on the numbers on the banner or click through to my website.

A Rather Chilly Pre-Wedding Photoshoot with Maeve and Pete

Maeve and Pete are an adorable couple who are looking forward to a Christmas wedding on the 20th of December.

On Saturday despite the freezing sub zero temperatures I met up with them for their pre-wedding shoot.

It was so cold that we only managed 10 minutes of photography which makes me even happier with the selection of images we got.




The gorgeous couple!



Pete doing a great job of keeping Maeve warm!



a healthy dose of good old fashioned romance.



The warm glow in the photograph comes from the love which Maeve and Pete share and not the weather!! LOL

Maeve and Pete, getting to spend time with you both on Saturday has made me even more excited for your wedding, I'll see you both again in just under a month!!

Kath and Alans Pre-wedding photoshoot at Newcastle Quayside

Yesterday was a pretty grey day weatherwise but it didn't stop me from having an amazing Pre-wedding photoshoot with Kath and Alan down on the quayside.




This is Kath, gorgeous bride to be.




and this is Alan the dashing groom to be.




for me grey skies don't matter, they just add to the retro Love mood I was trying to achieve.




I love the warmth in this one.



and Kaths showing off a fabulous engagement ring here.



Kath and Alan I really can't wait to shoot your intimate wedding at Linden Hall in September, it's going to be a wonderful event. I'm so delighted that you love these photographs and can't wait to provide you with memorable wedding photographs you'll cherish forever.

Kerry and Matts Pre-Wedding Photoshoot - Jesmond Dene

I met up with Kerry and Matt this morning firstly to confirm details of their wonderful wedding which is happening in July this year and also to shoot a few photographs, well it would be rude not to wouldn't it!

Let me first tell you that Kerry and Matt are one of the loveliest couples you could hope to meet, they laugh a lot and you can really feel the love with them, they're a relaxed laid back couple and they fit perfectly with my relaxed style of portraits!




Matt, the dashing groom to be.




Kerry the beautiful bride to be.




relaxing down by the river.




Love this one, it would look awesome on a big canvas, it has that aged dreamy feel that you've all come to know and love me for!



Finally this one, I love how Matts looking dreamily at Kerry while she beams into the camera!

Kerry and Matt, I can't wait for your wedding in July, Rhys and I are both looking forward to it and we'll see you 6 weeks today for the big event!! (can't wait for the Scottish dancing ;) )

Rachel and Jonathans Pre-Wedding Photoshoot, Saltwell Park, Gateshead

Rachel and Jonathan are getting married in August of this year so I met up with them in not so sunny Saltwell park this afternoon for their pre-wedding shoot. Despite Rachel feeling so very nervous I still got some wonderful photographs of them both.


Rachel is beautiful, slender and also has an amazing personality to match.



Jonathan is also gorgeous, he's quite meaty and has promised Rachel that his six pack will be ready for the wedding (LOL)


They simply are the adorable couple don't you think?



Yum!!



I love Rachel when she laughs, its when you see her truly relax and it is of course beautiful.



More giggling :)

We went for a walk and found lots of lovely places to shoot.



Rachel had never been to Saltwell Park and shock horror when I found out that Jonathan hasn't ever taken her on a romantic picnic!!



another lovely moment.




I love this bandstand photo, i think this is the one which would look awesome on a huge canvas!

Rachel and Jonathan, you are the adorable couple and I can't wait for your wedding in August.

Adrian and Stephs Pre-Wedding Shoot at Linden Hall, Northumberland

Linden Hall definetly makes me feel lucky that I'm a photographer, it's a gorgeous venue up in Northumberland and I was quite awestruck by it's beauty. I was there to meet up with wonderful couple Adrian and Steph for their pre-wedding shoot, they're getting married up there in September and it was the perfect afternoon to check out all the nooks and crannies!




Aren't they a lovely couple.




They're so relaxed and cool as cucumbers these two, they're sailing onwards in their wedding countdown and enjoying every minute.



The cherry blossom was awesome today.



I bet you can't guess what these two do for a living?




You're not going to believe me when I tell you they both work in computing as they don't look in the slightest bit like techie geeks, way too cool eh?!



We took a signposted 10 minute walk, let me tell you my new yellow heels (yes I wore heels??!!) did not like the soggy path and I got stung by several nettles!! LOL




Gotta love this one, can you feel the love, are you all squidgy yet?



More cherry blossom, I love this photograph.




Thats my dreamy style you all have come to know and love!



We went inside to the magnificent building and the staircase is just phenomenal but I didn't want to spoil the wedding photographs by shooting on it today so you'll have to wait until September to see it in all it's glory.



Steph - she's gorgeous isn't she?!


and Adrian who is of course charming and handsome.

Adrian and Steph, I can't wait to shoot your wedding, you're a wonderfully warm couple who make spending time with an absolute pleasure, I hope you love these as much as I love them.
