There are so many really great reasons to have an engagement shoot, and this post explores why a pre-wedding photography session is more than just a few pics!

Essentially, it is about capturing all the emotions so that you can look back and relive your incredible day. That’s it in a nutshell but, of course, there’s more to it than that.

2019 was a wild ride of a year, wasn’t it? I had the pleasure of meeting some incredible people and the weddings I had the privilege to capture were all beautiful and unique.

Jennifer and David got married in the most beautiful of settings, at the stunning Wynyard Hall in Stockton.

Timeless, elegant photography in a an exclusive and intimate venue. History, art, and love together.

With so much excitement going on it’s easy to just keep moving on to the next wedding without stopping to look back. I’ve therefore picked out some of my favourite pictures for you all to enjoy.

Some venues look totally different every time you see them & the South Causey Inn styles up beautifully every time.
