North East Wedding Photographer

We’re husband & wife / best friends, who also happen to be award-winning photographers; passionate, professional North East wedding photographers with a creative, relaxed & distinctive documentary style and a love for a fun-filled, party wedding!

Based in County Durham, up in the North East of England, photographing weddings across the country including County Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, Yorkshire, Scotland, Lancashire & Northamptonshire to name a few.

Your personalities, your guests, your party!

We love weddings, and hanging out with you and your guests, and as such, our relaxed wedding photography is driven by you, your personalities, your guests, your party. Not by a series of shot lists created from previous weddings and each and every wedding we document is different, each with their own uniqueness, driven by their own vibe & personality.

We want to document the atmosphere & essence of the day, utilising creative lighting, unorthodox angles, reflections, framing, and bold colours, to create compelling, unique fine-art images that exceed that of more traditional wedding photography.

We're wedding photographers for those couples who want relaxed, easygoing and absolutely faff free photography; for couples who want to spend their wedding day enjoying it with their nearest and dearest, rather spending their day as if it was a photoshoot!!

Creative, Artistic, Unobtrusive Wedding Photography

We understand that for most people, they hate having their picture taken. We make it as relaxed as possible and much prefer blending in as if we were just another pair of guests, capturing your day as it unfolds, along with the feeling, the fine details, the love, emotion, and the expressions without intruding or unnecessary posing.

We don't spend the day directing, bossing you (or anyone else for the matter) around, or try to instruct you in any way - we document your day as it unfolds, by letting you guys relax, and do your thing with your nearest and dearest! Have a look at our 'Best of Highlights' to get an idea of how we shoot.

We strive to create compelling, emotive, and original ideas that tell the story of your own unique day; when you are who you are, no fake smiles, no clichés, nothing 'cheesy', no 'staged' scenes; Just honest, emotive, real moments in time, captured forever!

As sought-after wedding photographers with such a unique style, we've been lucky enough to document weddings at so many beautiful weddings across the entire UK and many of the most exclusive North East wedding venues! Have a look on our ‘Love Letters’ page for some of the amazing reviews our couples have left for us!

Fun & Down to Earth

We're a fun & down to earth couple and place a great deal of focus on building a rapport with our couples - this really helps us to be able to 'get you' as a couple; combined with our fun & relaxed way of shooting, it really helps not only our couples relax, but their guests too and it shows through in our wedding photography.

"Thank you both so so so much for the day! You honestly both felt like great friends we had always known. We know we wouldn't have had a better photographer for the day than you guys. We had such a fab day, and it wouldn't have been half the day it was without you guys and we know you have captured every moment."

Storytelling Wedding Photography

We firmly believe that anyone viewing your wedding photographs should be able to feel the atmosphere, the vibe of the day, not just a bunch of photographs randomly taken during the day! We take an artistic approach to story telling, using light, angles, and colour to capture individual moments in time to tell this wonderful story.

We use light & shadows, and our imagination to creatively capture a magical, authentic story of your day as it unfolds; using a blend of contemporary & creative signature imagery to not only capture the beauty of your day, but tell it's story through Candid Moments, Real Emotions & Real Connections - this allows you both to be awesome and truly experience the magic, the emotion and moments that make up your day - not forgetting the little details that you've spent so much time creating that help stitch a wedding together.

Hi Guys, Thank you so much for getting this back to us so quickly, absolutely love them. What a day/night it was and thanks so much for capturing it for us and enjoying the day with us. For us it didn't feel like you were our photographers, more friends and part of our day.. Not quite sure how we are going to have favourites amongst all those, we love them all and they bring back some very specific memories. I hope it sticks in your memories as one of your faves and we like to think we`ll say hello again sometime.

It was magical and we both loved having you there. It's hard to describe but it felt like we were pals from the moment we met and that made it all so much fun and a delight to be around you. 

Google Review:

We got married in 2018 and using Craig & Andrea as our wedding photographers was one of the best decisions we made. From the engagement shoot, we got on with them with ease, they made us feel comfortable and we had a great afternoon. We were excited to see them again for the wedding.

On the wedding day, they got a flat tyre and due to our rural location, it was a bit of a nightmare morning for them! They remained professional and managed to get to us in good time for the getting ready pictures.

They fit into our wedding like they were guests, accommodated our requests, and, of course, took amazing and creative pictures. We knew that the photographs for our wedding would be something that we enjoyed for the rest of our lives, so we are glad we made the investment with Craig & Andrea. Our friends were so impressed with their photos, that they booked them for their wedding the following year, it was so nice to be reunited!

I still look at our photos 3 years on and feel the joy of the day, and I know I will for many years to come.
