Sarah & Franz | Bamburgh Castle Weddings Rock!
There's nothing ordinary about Bamburgh Castle weddings. This wedding venue never fails to excite me as a photographer so when I met with Sarah and Franz I was very happy when they hired me. Sarah's originally from the North East, and Franz from Australia, so for half of the guests it involved travelling halfway round the world.
The day began at Middleton Hall in Belford, Northumberland. A well established venue of its own, Middleton Hall was the setting for both the preparations and reception. The Boathouse was the accommodation of choice for the bridesmaids. Offering the most stunning of views of all the properties, it also made for a dream assignment for me. The guys opted for the main hall, I'm guessing the snooker room made this a no brainer!
The wedding party travelled over to Bamburgh in the most extravagant of luxury cars I've ever seen. Yours truly managed to blag a lift with Sarah and her dad, which allowed me to capture dad seeking comfort in his hip flask.
In typical UK fashion, the weather didn't disappoint our Aussie friends. As if by magic, upon arrival at Bamburgh Castle, the heavens opened.Bamburgh Castle is easily one of the most stunning wedding venues in Northumberland. I want to also mention on my blog the tremendous hospitality shown to me by Chris and his wife Grazia, who are the proprietors. They couldn't have been more supportive, and a real credit to the smooth running of the castle.
Bamburgh Beach is literally a stone's throw away!
The ceremony was beautiful and as grand a setting as I expected. Afterwards, we did a few family photographs followed by some portraits and a sneaky trip to the beach which is minutes away. This worked well as it allowed the guests time to get back to Middleton Hall, so no one had time to report them missing!
Speeches followed the wedding breakfast, which was scrumptious by the way. Since the ceremony was a 5pm start, I stayed later into the evening to make sure I captured some dance moves. There was a slight hiccup which did get a few giggles. The evening entertainment pitched up at Middleton Lodge, a mere ninety miles away! But in true style, the party went on.
