Wedding Photographer Photographed!
Attached to rather fantastic email I received from Jenny & Richard on their recent wedding at Dissington Hall in Ponteland was a few photographs from guests that managed to catch me shooting. Apart from the fact I’m probably better off behind the camera than infront of it!, it’s quite rare to get snaps of me working. On this occasion I actually remember the wedding photograph that resulted from my sneaky shoot through the doorway, so I thought I would post both images. The little chap in question is quite clearly a budding photographer in the making and at first I thought I might actually have some fierce competition on my hands – but he assured me it was just a hobby for him. He looks like he was quite pleased with his results – as was I too.
Dissington Hall, Ponteland – Jenny & Richard
Dissington Hall Wedding Photography
A generous late September gave Jenny & Richard a wonderfully bright and warm day to get married. Although their reception was held at the magnificant Dissington Hall in Ponteland, Northumberland – the ceremony was held at a lovely church in Rowlands Gill. Top hats and tails were the order of the day for the guys whilst summer blue was the running theme for the ties and bridesmaids dresses. I was very priviledged to be able to be able to capture the ceremony as the ministers standard rule is no photography at all – but he was aware of my style of photography and complimented me afterwards on my discrete way of capturing the cermony. A vintage double decker bus waited to take guests over to Dissington Hall for the reception. A champagne reception from the amazing staff at Dissington Hall greeted the guests and after both Jenny and Richard chatted to their guests for a little while we gathered the wedding party up to a room I had set aside so we could shoot the more formal wedding photos. Leaving enough time aside I took Jenny and Richard (champers in hand of course!) for a planned leisurely stroll around the stunning grounds so we could get some photos of the two of them. If you’ve been here then I don’t need to tell you how magnificent the surroundings at Dissington Hall are, and if you haven’t been it’s certainly worth a visit – especially if you’re planning a wedding in Northumberland! A wonderful day from start to finish. A big thanks to both Jenny & Richard for their warm hospitality – and a huge thanks to the staff at Dissington Hall for being friendly, cooperative and extremely organised. I look forward to my Dissington Hall wedding.
