Discovery Museum Wedding with Kim & Karnan

Kim & Karnan's recent Discovery Museum wedding in Newcastle upon Tyne was a beauty from start to finish. The Discovery Museum was a first for me as a wedding venue. I'd only ever experienced it as a museum visitor with my wife and family. I had a really good feeling that photographing a wedding here would be special.

When I first spoke with Kim on Skype way back when she originally booked me, we got along straight away. She's a gorgeous Geordie lass, both in looks and personality. Kim lives in London with Karnan, her partner and all round nice bloke. I met with Kim and her Mum, in the days leading up to her wedding and we instantly got on great.

Her wedding was on a Saturday in the centre of Newcastle. As a result, we were contending with the traffic for a Newcastle United game and a Rugby World Cup Fanzone event. Thinking ahead, I opted to ditch my car at Kim's parents' house and hitch a ride back into town with the bridesmaids. That all done, it meant I could concentrate purely on the photography.

I couldn't have received a warmer reception when I arrived to do the bridal preps. Kim has three sisters and they're all gorgeous inside and out. Along with parents, partners and hair and make up artists, the house was a hive of activity.  The day went brilliantly, and I was blown away by how warm and friendly everyone was.

The venue didn't disappoint. I was so impressed by the layout and the lighting in the ceremony hall was beautiful. The mix of old and new really made for an interesting day. From a wedding photographer's perspective there's a lot of creative opportunities. I think it's fair to say I'd jump at the chance of another Discovery Museum wedding.

Kim, you're just lovely in every way, inside and out. Karnan, I discovered more and more throughout the day, just what an incredible bloke you are. I was deeply touched at what you do for those veterans and I salute you sir.

Thanks for hiring me guys, it was a genuinely lovely experience meeting you and your lovely families. For those planning their own Discovery Museum wedding, feel free to get in touch to discuss your plans with me.
