Nick & Kim, were married at the wonderful Matfen Hall in Northumberland.

The atmosphere surrounding the wedding was wonderful – an intimate winter wedding with close family and friends.They were a  lovely couple to work with but I may be slightly biased as I used to work with them both (in a past life!) and know them very well. I love working at Matfen Hall, with its huge bridal suite, and  massive open rooms, it makes my job a pleasure.

Even though it was snowing outside we still popped out to do some  portrait shots, I love a bride who’s determined to get the photos she wants!!!

Once again here’s some of my favourites.

The maid of honour will likely be spending a great deal of time with the best man, since their duties are often the same and require them to work hand-in-hand [...]
