As a result, the light inside Wylam Brewery was something special.Wylam Brewery in Newcastle is located in the beautiful surrounds of Exhibition Park.

Being so close to the city makes it an ideal venue where music, food and wedding events are a regular feature. The venue itself is actually known as the Palace of Arts. It's from this building from which the brewery operates and weddings take place. For couples looking for quirky wedding photos I would highly recommend Wylam Brewery.

The Grand Hall with all its architectural features and gorgeous natural light is a sight to behold. Adding to that, the modern set up of the brewery with its stainless steel hopper tanks and myriad of pipework and you have a truly wonderful setting.

Wylam Brewery wedding photos with Meg & Eliot

As far as weddings go this one had a lovely relaxed vibe to it. Meg & Eliot chose a party of 80 friends and family to celebrate the day with them. It would be rude of me not to mention Gus, their rather lovely four legged friend. Not only was this a child friendly wedding celebration, it was dog friendly too.

From a wedding photographer's perspective, this place really brings out the best in our creativity. There's chinks of light everywhere that can tell a story when framed with an element of the wedding proceedings.

Meg & Eliot opted for a shorter package which allowed me to photograph their ceremony through until speeches. Considering I was only in attendance for a few hours, we were able to capture some beautiful Wylam Brewery wedding photos together.

Jesmond Dene House Wedding - Rebecca & Philip

Rebecca & Philip's Jesmond Dene House wedding took place in early summer and through light rain and shine they had the most fabulous day.

Rebecca & Philip's Jesmond Dene House wedding took place in early summer and through light rain and shine they had the most fabulous day. The day began with Rebecca and her bridesmaids. Her parent's house was amazing to photograph in. There was an abundance of natural light in a really spacious area .

The bridesmaids were in a classic VW Campervan, and Rebecca and her dad in a classic VW Beetle. We were a little unlucky after the ceremony because the heavens opened as we were about to photograph some groups. However, we eventually got our break, and twenty minutes later the family photographs were done.

We went to the bridal suite after Rebecca and Philip had finished their meal. The room was spacious enough to photograph some really lovely indoor portraits since the rain was still threatening us outside. Philip is camera shy, but you wouldn't know this looking at their pictures. I think even he was surprised at how painless I made this part of the day.

As we were wrapping up, the sun broke through so were able to get a couple of portraits outside. I'd like to thank their family and friends, who made their Jesmond Dene House Wedding a delight to be at and to photograph.

How I photograph a Jesmond Dene House Wedding?

I'm now in my second decade as a Northumberland wedding photographer and my approach over the years has always been the same. Being a documentary wedding photographer, my focus is always on the people first before the venue. My aim is to capture my couples and their family and friends in a natural and candid way.

I do this by using light, composition and the moment to ensure that my images tell a compelling story.If you and your partner are looking for a wedding photographer for your Jesmond Dene House Wedding then feel free to get in touch.

Stunning wedding photos at Jesmond Dene House | Rachel & Sean

Stunning wedding photos at Jesmond Dene House with Rachel and Sean by Newcastle wedding photographer Phil Nunez

I've been so excited about sharing these stunning wedding photos at Jesmond Dene House. Rachel & Sean's wedding was all go from start to finish and it was an honour that I got to capture it. I met these guys a few months before their wedding since they had booked an eshoot with me, and from the moment I met them I knew this was going to be a very fun assignment! Rachel & Sean = Fun, bubbly and just darn good to be around.

I travelled over to Gateshead on the morning of the wedding to catch Sean and the lads getting ready before heading over to Jesmond Dene House to catch up with Rachel. One of the things that was evident between these guys is how calm they were throughout. Nothing was a stress and from a documentary wedding photographer's point of view it was all smiles, laughter and emotion. Jesmond Dene House is a short 10 minute drive from me, and such a beautiful Newcastle wedding venue to have on my doorstep. It has the added bonus of having Jesmond Dene immediately next to it with it's stunning woodland and waterfalls.

As usual, the staff at Jesmond Dene House were great hosts, ensuring their day went without a hitch. Also, a big thank you to the chef for looking after yours truly with those wonderful freshly made sandwiches, how could I have managed without them! It's nice to take a little break whilst the guests are enjoying the wedding breakfast and it means I always remain close at hand. This is ideal if there's an impromptu speech or something that requires my attention at short notice.

As You Like It Wedding | Lyndsey & Michael

A wonderful As You Like It wedding with Lyndsey and Michael photographed by Newcastle wedding photographer Phil Nunez.

This was my very first As You Like It wedding! The venue is about 6 miles from my doorstep and a nice change to be shooting somewhere so local to me. As you Like It, according to their website is cool, quirky and one of a kind and it certainly didn't disappoint. With lots of alternative decor and what I can only describe as "interesting lighting" it's definitely a challenge to photograph, but I think it's fair to say their wedding was an amazing day from start to finish, and not without its minor hiccups!

I already knew Lyndsey and Michael from when I photographed her sister Alicia's Hotel du Vin wedding at the Quayside in Newcastle. So when they asked me to be their photographer I was pretty honoured to be asked. It's always nice to share in another day with their family and close friends.

So, about their day.. Well I have to mention the Louboutins and for those like me who had never heard of them, they're fancy shoes apparently, that cost a small fortune! So naturally, they featured in a few of their wedding photos! Check out the Pontiac, an all American classic car, an absolute beaut of a car which again, I managed a few frames before it unfortunately broke down whilst waiting for Lyndsey (I managed a frame with the drivers head under the bonnet trying to fix it too!)

I felt for the driver, it was his pride and joy and I could see the disappointment on his face. However, being a wedding photographer who drives a white car who generally keeps it clean and tidy, I came up with a cunning plan.

I could have hugged Lyndsey when we broke the news about her wedding car breaking down, she took it on the chin and it didn't phase her one bit. So with the previously mentioned cunning plan, yours truly Mr wedding photographer swapped hats for Mr wedding chauffeur, and whisked the bridesmaids and her mum off to the venue, quickly returning to collect Lyndsey and her Dad. #allinadayswork#noordinaryweddingphotographer So, on with the story. I loved every minute of it, just a truly fab day in the office for me, and it went a little bit like this..

Documentary Wedding Photography Newcastle | Kay & Alex

Documentary wedding photography with Kay & Alex who chose Close House as their wedding venue. Read all about it here..

Close House near Newcastle was the setting for my last but by no means least documentary wedding photography adventure of 2013. It is this style of wedding photography which allows me to seek out spontaneous and completely unplanned moments without the need to interrupt or stop proceedings during the wedding day, and this day delivered in abundance.I met Kay & Alex at Jesmond Dene House to confirm the timings for their wedding day and do their pre wedding photo shoot shortly afterwards in the dene itself. Hats off to Alex, it's rare that the bloke takes such an active role in the planning of his own wedding but due to the nature of Kay's job it was Alex who took the lead. Kay is stunning, lovely dark skin, hair and eyes and I just knew, as shy as she was, that she'd look great in her pictures and she didn't disappoint! Due to distance, time and logistics, the pre wedding photo shoot is sometimes the first time I get to meet my clients, even though they may have booked my services some 18 months previous, so I always enjoy these bonding sessions, it helps everyone to relax and put their trust in me, and when that happens, that's when you get the best from people where the photography's concerned.The wedding day itself started for me with the lads, and a rare image of a man ironing! When I moved onto Close House although Autumn was coming to an end we were still blessed with some lovely golden browns and a rich blue sky. Not too shabby a day to get married. Kay looked stunning, even more so than during their pre wedding shoot. Love to both of you, I wish you both the best in life xxxPS. It was at Kay & Alex's wedding I took my favourite wedding image of last year. Alex, I loved your mating call to Kay, not 30 minutes after the ceremony. Yes, you know the moment, the one I captured that sits proudly on my virtual mantelpiece. Thank you brother.Onto the images, enjoy their little story.. wedding photography north east__0001

Jesmond Dene House Wedding Photography | Vicki & Marc

Vicki & Marc’s Jesmond Dene House wedding photography gives an insightful view of a wedding day at this sought after venue in Newcastle upon Tyne.

As it happens Marc is from Glasgow, and was working at the time so was unable to make it. I must have made a suitable impression I guess or I wouldn't be writing about their wedding story! The first time I met with Marc was at their Pre Wedding Photo Shoot in Jesmond Dene, a sound bloke I could see how well they worked together.

Kudos to both of them for what was at the time a "long distance relationship."The wedding day started at Vicki's Mum's house for bridal preparations where the amazingly talented girls from ND Makeup Artists were working their magic, not that it must have taken much as Vicki as you'll gather from her photos is already pretty stunning.

From there we headed to the church in Cramlington where Marc's father who's a serving pastor over in the US, conducted part of their ceremony. Due to the rules set by the vicar of that particular church, I wasn't given permission to photograph their ceremony which was a shame.

From the church we made the short journey into Newcastle and to Jesmond Dene House. I enjoy Jesmond Dene House wedding photography very much. It's a stunning wedding venue, and the staff and overall atmosphere is relaxing and inviting. From a photographer's perspective Jesmond Dene House is a joy to photograph. Especially so when you family and friends such as Vicki and Marc's.
