Jo & James – Cuddystone Hall, Northumberland

Cuddystone Hall is situated in The College Valley, set in over eleven thousand acres of beautiful Northumberland countryside. I read that it’s one of the most silent places in the UK – certainly not on the Saturday night Jo & James got married! The day started of with Jo and her bridesmaids getting ready in a cute little cottage near cuddystone hall. Not before long a lack of hairspray kind of stopped any progress, so I offered to go and get some before things could get back on track (not just a wedding photographer!). The Rolls Royce arrived just before I set off to St Ninians Church in Wooler where the ceremony was being held. Once there I got a few quick shots of James and his best man and ushers before awaiting Jo in the Roller. The Church was beautiful, and so was the ceremony. The main reception was back at Cuddystone Hall though so once everyone arrived I set about getting the formal wedding party photographs and then something a little less formal for Jo & James. The weather didn’t exactly make things easy for me – did I mention it rained for most of the day – but we managed to have a laugh and get some lovely romantic wedding images. A cracking ceilidh saw the evening off to brilliant and noisy start and probably echoed through College Valley until the early hours! Thankfully it’s pretty remote so I doubt anybody heard
