Riva and Mabel's Christening at St. Margaret's Church in Brotton with Father Jonathan was a heartwarming event that unfolded on a tranquil Sunday morning.

The historic church, steeped in centuries of stories, set the perfect backdrop for this sacred occasion. Father Jonathan presided over the ceremony with a blend of grace and reverence, leading the attendees through the rituals of baptism while hymns filled the air, infusing the atmosphere with a sense of sanctity.

There’s no need to cry, a wedding can be a stressful and eventful occasion to organise. The important things that need to be put together, the venue, the dress and of course the photographer - I’m a little bias there. Not forgetting the save the dates cards, the table plans and a whole host of tiny things that come together to make your day one to remember.

I love capturing family portrait photography, The North East has some wonderful locations to capture children, families in front of the camera. I find locations shoots so much relaxed and because of that the images I capture look so much more natural. I always feel happy knowing I can let the children be themselves, play and run around.

Another local and favourite venue of mine, do I have any other venue? What can I say, I’m passionate about my profession and love working everywhere I capture weddings. Mark and Joanne’s wedding at Gisborough Hall was special to me. I’ve worked with Joanne for some years as a model and commercially for her work too.
