Outdoor Wedding Newton Hall - Rachel & David
Wedding photos for an outdoor ceremony at Newton Hall
The sun was shining for Rachel and David's beautiful outdoor wedding Newton Hall. A stone's throw from the iconic Northumberland Coast. I think the day will most certainly go down as the hottest day of the summer, the day topped out at around twenty seven degrees. In fact it was so hot that the staff decided to erect the sun canopy for fear of guests overheating.
Unheard of really for a UK wedding, and in Northumberland of all places! Newton Hall is about an hour long drive from Newcastle, it's always a pleasant start to the day when the sun is shining. Rachel and her bridesmaid Joanna got ready in the Pinarello room, a most luxurious room which forms part of the courtyard.
I'd previously photographed Joanna's farm wedding, her sister's wedding, and several friends' weddings in between. One of the nice things about shooting weddings through referrals, is that often I'm photographing the same group of friends. Rachel has to go down as one the calmest of brides. Usually, when I'm photographing bridal prep, the room is carnage. On this morning, it was Rachel, her mum and Joanna. The atmosphere was calm, despite being so hot!
A brief description of Rachel and David's wedding
The ceremony was an outdoor one, my very first as it happens and hopefully the first of many. From a photographic point of view, having the freedom of movement that outdoor ceremonies offer was quite refreshing. Even David was calm as he waited. Rachel, looked absolutely stunning walking up the aisle with the proudest father in the world.
The day was everything I'd hoped for, tough at times with such bright sunshine, but just a pure joy to be part of from start to finish. It ended with the finest of sunsets, and we managed to finish the day with some amazing portraits, followed by some fun times on the dance floor, (see David with his sister in the image section!)
A little about how I capture wedding photos at Newton Hall
Being primarily a documentary wedding photographer means I tend to photograph around 99% of the wedding day in a very natural and unposed style. Documentary wedding photography is also known as reportage which really allows the day to unfold in real time and as it happens. This doesn't mean that I won't shoot family formals or couple portraits.
Simply put, they're an integral part to any wedding day and so demand my utmost attention. You'll see from the images below that Rachel & David took full advantage of the most beautiful of sunset portraits. I love my job, and this day in the office made me smile for a while afterwards. Congratulations guys, thanks for having me along. If you're planning your own unique and beautiful outdoor wedding Newton Hall, or anywhere else in the UK for that matter, and you'd like to ask me along then why not get in touch?
