Jesmond Dene Pre Wedding Photography | Gemma & Ivan

Gemma & Ivan’s Jesmond Dene pre wedding photography was a belly laugh and a half! These guys drove up from Essex the night before to execute a military style operation involving wedding meetings, tasting sessions, make up and a photoshoot in Jesmond Dene.

Having never met them it's always nice to hook up for the first time. We chose Cafe Bar One in Jesmond to meet for a cuppa first and summarize the wedding day plans. You get an idea of someone's personality just in the manner in which they email you, so when I met Gemma she was exactly how I expected. Very bright, bubbly and full of energy!

We discussed the wedding day and headed out onto the Armstrong Bridge to do our shoot. Gemma explained to me how handsome Ivan looked in black and white photographs, and so Ivan and I spent the next few minutes discussing how we looked like German U Boat Captains, what with our weather beaten faces and rough beards. It's fair to say I liked them both from the off..

The wedding itself takes place at Newton Hall in Northumberland, and I'm excited to be back there again. A stunning venue and judging by their fun and a bit quirky outlook on life, I know they're going to have a ball. Fingers crossed for the weather, Gemma has hinted on some beach wedding portraits too! Here's a few from their shoot. EDIT - Head this way to check out the most epic of Newton Hall Weddings.

Couple Shoots - Not as scary as you might think!

Couple shoots are fun, relaxed and give you an opportunity to get some professional photographs that you can both cherish forever. Choose a location close to your heart that has some personal meaning that tells the story of your relationship outside of a wedding day. Couples can book a shoot at any point and I must stress, you don’t have to be getting married, or have booked me as your wedding photographer. Inquire here.
