Linden Hall Wedding Photography with Kathryn & John..

Kathryn and John’s Linden Hall wedding photography gives a lovely insight into a wedding at this lovely Northumberland wedding venue. It's amazing that some of my clients hire me up to 2 years in advance yet the pre wedding planning meeting seems to come around so quick! Kathryn was keen to have their pre wedding photography by the pier and beach at South Shields. It was February at the time so the weather was always going to be against us be it wind, cold or rain. I guess we were lucky in that it was only wind and cold but fair play they were happy to walk, talk and have their photographs made in pretty naff conditions.

As a wedding Photographer in Northumberland..

As a wedding photographer in Northumberland this was actually the first time I've been hired for Linden Hall Wedding Photography. I always mention time and time again though, I love shooting new venues.

Nestled in the heart of Northumberland immediately off the A697 and just a stone's throw from Newcastle. The venue is one of the hotels in the prestigious Macdonald chain, so all in all not too shabby a venue. I think there's always one or two clients upon hearing that I've never photographed at their venue before, get a little nervous.

You ask a hundred full time North East wedding photographers if they'd be happy to shoot a new venue and the answer will be 100% YES!! Taking the venue to one side, the single most important ingredient of any wedding celebration has to be the people. Let's face it without the people we don't have a wedding! So, for me the day is about capturing the essence of the personalities in attendance. Unposed, unplanned, tears, laughter, joy, sadness and real spontaneous moments for documentary wedding photography.

The venue, at least in my view comes a very distant second. Kathryn and John are warm, friendly, fun, totally in love. Kathryn has an infectious giggle, John can talk for Great Britain (the speeches lasted over an hour and a half.. John mainly!)

I think the Manager was panicking at one point since the wedding breakfast had been due to start an hour before the speeches ended. The stories were entertaining though and I couldn't help but giggle out loud myself on more than one occasion. Here's a few images I captured of their very special day..
