Dawn & Keith's Wedding

Horton Grange is a fantastic exclusive use wedding venue close to Ponteland near Newcastle, and when Dawn & Keith decided to book us to cover their wedding day we were thrilled. We met up a few weeks before the big day for their Pre-Wedding Photoshoot which was good fun, and we had to be a little more creative than normal as Keith's hand was in plaster! Luckily he had the cast off for the big day, which was a relief as Dawn had said that if it wasn't she'd cut it off herself!

We started the day at Dawn's parents' house with a few bridal preparation photos. Dawn's father Dave was so overwhelmed when he saw how amazing Dawn looked in her beautiful dress, and neither of them could hold the tears back which was lovely. The bridesmaids were on hand with tissues to keep Dawn's makeup intact too!

The wedding ceremony at Horton Grange was really special, Keith & Dawn are a fantastic couple, and the love between them was so clear for everyone to see. They really do both wear their hearts on their sleeves so it was great for us to be able to capture all the emotion for them.

The gardens are superb with several areas for us to choose from for the group photos and the shots of Keith & Dawn on their own. After the drinks reception & formal photos we headed inside for the wedding breakfast (also thank you guys for feeding us - the food was superb!). The speeches were fantastic, and everyone was in stitches - our favourite parts had to be the arm cushion, the Keith doll (photo below!) and Keith giving his best man Steve a signed Jose Enrique shirt.

Later in the day everyone gathered for the first dance, which is one of our favourite parts of the day to photograph. We had a really great day with Dawn, Keith and all their friends and family, and we felt so welcome and part of the wedding day.

We've had some really lovely feedback since the big day too, on receiving their wedding album Dawn emailed to say:

We have just received our beautiful wedding album, it's amazing and you have a talent of making me cry!!!! Thank you both so much for everything you have both been brilliant and I can't wait to show it off!!!

Everyone was on hand for the finishing touches, great how even the bedroom Dawn got ready in matched the colour scheme!

We headed back to the main house for a few more photos, and Keith & Dawn had a sneaky kiss on the way. We love this photo, as did Dawn & Keith as they chose it for their album cover.
