A Winter Wedding Fairytale: Caitlin and Niall

Caitlin and Niall’s Beamish Hall Winter Wedding was an absolute dream, and even the weather gods got involved, delivering just the right amount of snow to create that fairy-tale winter vibe. This chic black-tie wedding was filled with elegant details, from Jimmy Choo shoes to Christian Dior accessories and a spectacular top table decorated with candles. They even finished the night with fireworks before hitting the dance floor with full force!

Caitlin and Niall are two of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Their day was filled with love, laughter, and genuine joy. Everything fell perfectly into place, and their love story shone through every moment. I’ll always remember their pre-wedding shoot at Rockliffe Hall, where Niall proposed to Caitlin surrounded by candles—it was a scene straight out of a movie. Thank you, Caitlin and Niall, for letting me capture such a special journey. Oh, and thanks for the amazing thank-you hamper, 19 Crimes in there—cheers guys!

“Ray, you have been fab from start to finish. Everyone said how amazing you were, and the photos are just next level. We will recommend you to everyone! Thank you for capturing our wedding over Christmas—absolutely brilliant!”

Summer Perfection: Zeynep and Jacob

Zeynep and Jacob’s Beamish Hall summer wedding was nothing short of a chic, black-tie masterpiece. The weather was perfect, their fashion was on point, and the day was filled with laughter and joy. From the moment I arrived, I knew it was going to be an incredible day. Zeynep’s bespoke dress was a standout—complete with a signature bow—and her Tom Ford perfume filled the air as she got ready.

We moved into the Monboucher Room for a beautiful ceremony followed by a relaxed drinks reception in Beamish Hall’s stunning gardens. As golden hour arrived, we captured some breathtaking portraits bathed in soft evening light, and the day wrapped up with the traditional cake-cutting and first dance. Zeynep and Jacob, thank you so much for having me along—what a day!

“Ray, working with you was more than just hiring a photographer. You were a huge help on the day, guiding us through everything, and the photos are just perfection. Thank you for being such a star!”

A Love Story Set to Music: Abigail and Matthew

Abigail and Matthew’s Beamish Hall wedding was a day full of beautiful moments, but what stood out most was Matthew’s surprise for Abigail—a song he wrote, produced, and performed during their fireworks display! He even took secret singing lessons to pull it off, and only a handful of people knew what was about to happen. When the fireworks started and Abigail realized it was Matthew singing, she was completely overwhelmed, and the emotion in that moment was palpable.

Their wedding day was packed with love, laughter, and even some comical moments—like the best man almost tripping over during the ring exchange! The first dance, which they choreographed with the help of Dance City Newcastle, was a stunning moment, too. Abigail and Matthew, thank you for letting me capture your incredible day.

“Ray, you have been absolutely amazing. The photos are more beautiful than we ever imagined, and we love looking through them. Thank you for capturing every moment with such care and joy!”
