Hadrians Wall Wedding Photography | Becky & Adam
Becky & Adam’s Hadrians Wall wedding photography involved a trip to the world famous Sycamore Gap. When they got in touch with me, I was so happy I was free. It's not every day you get an enquiry for a wedding overlooking the world famous Sycamore Gap at Hadrian's Wall. Those who are unsure of the location need to watch Robin Hood starring Kevin Costner!
Becky & Adam live in Birmingham so I didn't actually meet Becky until a week before their wedding. I thought it'd be a good idea to meet her before her wedding. I'm so glad I did because their house is beautiful but also very isolated. I didn't want to take the chance of getting lost with a wrong turn on her actual wedding day!
A little bit about Hadrian's Wall wedding photography
The day had the usual mix of UK weather. This ranged from overcast and windy, to outbreaks of sun, torrential rain and the most stunning rainbow display I've been lucky enough to experience on any day, let alone a wedding day. I've never been one for insisting couples have fancy posed photographs but a rainbow portrait is the exception!
The service was conducted by an extremely nice vicar at their local church, followed by a bus trip back to the house where a beautifully dressed marquee awaited their guests. One of the highlights of the day was a short drive to Sycamore Gap to shoot a few frames for Becky & Adam. Becky's father Ian managed to get permission to access the land and drive us to within 200 yds of the tree.
I'm almost certain that Becky & Adam are the only couple that I'm aware of that have Hadrians Wall wedding photography by the Sycamore Gap. Speeches, food, drink and lots of dancing followed. I remember the speeches like they were yesterday as they were extremely funny! Here's a few from their day.
I want to thank Becky & Adam, and their parents, the rest of their families and guests for making me feel so welcome on the day, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a real pleasure from start to finish.

What happened to Sycamore Gap?
On the evening of the 28th September, our beloved Sycamore Gap tree was felled through the night. Locals were unaware of this as the high winds throughout the night caused by Storm Agnes drowned out the sound of this blatant act of vandalism.
As of April 2024, Northumbria Police are still investigating but whatever the outcome, this doesn’t take away the loss that we all are experiencing. Thankfully, the tree lives on and in the future it is thought that the tree will grow back. We live in hope. You can read more about it here
