This was the last of my winter weddings which I photographed in December 2011 and boy did it finish the year off nicely… I had the pleasure to photograph the very handsome couple Kym & Mark at their intimate wedding at “As You Like it” in Jesmond, if your familiar with my blog you will know photographing at as you like it is becoming something of a regular event for me. The wedding itself was a very intimate and a close family affair, Mark held his youngest son in his arms for much of the ceremony while family and friends looked on with warm smiles.
I first met them both in their home last May, Kym is an Air Stewardess for Virgin Atlantic and Mark is a graphic Artist /Mac operator and live in Heburn, I knew straight away they were going to make amazing pictures.. and I was right. Kym’s dress was a stunning Pronovias ” Sam Patrick” dress from The White Tulip wedding company in Prudhoe and it fit her like a glove, She looked absolutely stunning. The gorgeous flowers and table decorations were from Helen at the very talented Bels flowers , with some finishing touches from Charlotte at the ermm….. the aptly named Finishing touch company
I had such a good time photographing their wedding and it felt more like I was a guest than working , I even tried a bit of Magic ( arguably ) only to get the odd smile from her fantastic kids, My daughter, who assisted me has a future boyfriend there I think!
but I was there to work and work I did, below are a few images from the day.









Kym & Mark, you are some of the most genuine and nicest people I have met in such a long time, the love you have for your children is plain for all to see, I wish you all every health and happiness.
Love Dave xxx

Another visit to Newcastle and another outing with two of the North Easts top wedding photographers Karen Mcgowran and Phil Nunez, Accompanied by the lovely and multi talented, Ice skating, model and relative of the infamous Audry Hepburn no less…. Tamarin wilkinson,
We do like to set ourselves challenges when we go out and about and this one was the limitation of only one prime lens a (50mm in my case) and one reflector to compensate for the harsh sunlight.
Heres a few of my images taken on the day…
shooting with a 50mm Tamarin’s back was to the sun, I used a reflector to bounce some of the light back into Tamarin’s Eyes




if you would like a photo session with images similar to this one, why not get in touch , I offer lifestyle photo shoots for individuates and groups, in a location of your choice, prices start from as little as £75 and includes two 10×8 prints. Hair and makeup can also be arranged in the Newcastle area.
Following on from my earlier post with sophie (model), Phil ( black coat ), Karen ( red coat ) and myself ( ermm. you can’t see me I’m taking the photos),
Anyway, I did threaten to post a few of the behind the scene shots of the model shoot in Newcastle and here they are. As you can see we really are a nice bunch of friendly people, theres lots of lying around, (especialy Sniper Phil) frolics and fun and we do like to have a mess around ( especialy Karen), in professional way of course!
Cant wait for the next shoot in late January, “Lenses ready!!!”

What happens when you take three North East photographers and get them together for a day? I can honestly say, lots of love, fun and laughter.
I met up with Karen Mcgrowen and Phil nunez, two of the North Easts top wedding photography talent for an impromptu shoot somewhere in Newcastle.
Armed only with one flash each we took to the Newcastle streets with out trustee model, the very lovely Sophie mckennzy.
We managed to make complete fools of ourselves as paaers by stopped to look at our shinanigans but did have a great time as we captured some great images in the process! Sophie even got to splash in some puddles too
We are always looking for models or people who want to be models and need images for their portfolio, if this is you, do get in touch through my contact page or friend me on facebook.

You might remember Sharon and Iain from an earlier blog post from their E-shoot in Fountains abbey, ( heres a link in case you didn’t) Only this time I was the photographer for their winter wedding in Jersey Farm. As usual Ive posted a few images from the day below.
The wedding had a lovely winter theme, (including the cold) Sharon decorated the tables herself, with a little help from friends and family and made an utterly fantastic job to boot., The cake was stunning and was made by her Aunt and again following a winter theme came complete with snowflakes and frost. Sharon looked amazing in her dress, and the boots where definately a new one on me.
So…. here’s to you Sharon and Iain, and when you have your first child… your gonna need photos

Here’s a few from the day, Enjoy!!






Sharon and Iain, to you both I wish you all the happiness in the world!
