Claire & Elliott's Spring Wedding at The Parlour - Sarah Metcalf Photography

Claire & Elliott's Spring Wedding at The Parlour - Sarah Metcalf Photography

Claire and Elliott’s beautiful spring wedding was just amazing and I’m excited to share some of my favourite images from this very special day! They had their wedding ceremony at St John’s in Killingworth which is surrounded by woodland, filled with beautiful trees and lots of daffodils and bluebells. After a heartfelt ceremony witnessed by their nearest and dearest, and one of the longest, most enthusiastic confetti lines I’ve ever seen, the guests were whisked off in a vintage double decker bus to an exciting reception at The Parlour at Blagdon.

The Parlour is fast becoming one of my favourite venues to shoot. I love how they’ve opened up the outdoor space with the canopy, it’s intimate without feeling small and it’s the perfect size for guests to mingle and move freely without feeling too separated. From a photographic point of view, there are so many beautiful spots in and around the grounds to take portraits, I’ve had the pleasure of shooting several weddings here now and they’ve all felt unique and special!

I loved every one of Claire and Elliotts wedding details; gorgeous white and pink roses, bright pink bridesmaid dresses complimented with cornflower blue tie for the groom. Hand drawn illustrations and names of fells for the table centrepieces, pink silk chair wraps, and a classically perfect three tier wedding cake with floral details.

After their wedding breaktfast, the evening reception brought a new lease of life with more friends, Claire’s bouquet toss, toasted marshmallows and s’mores around the fire pits, cocktails and a dance floor so bouncing that every time I was about to pack up and go home, something exciting would happen and I’d find myself staying for another song!

St Mary's Cathedral and St Mary's Heritage Centre, Newcastle Wedding - Libby and James 21/9/19

Mr & Mrs Perry ♥️ 21/9/19

Libby and James had a beautiful day filled with sunshine, friends and family! Their ceremony was at the stunning St Mary’s Cathedral in Newcastle City Centre. I was really excited to shoot here; one of my best friends got married here a couple of years ago when I was bridesmaid for her, and it really is an incredible building with beautiful architecture, so I knew it was going to be an amazing backdrop for Libby and James.

St Mary’s Heritage Centre was the venue for the their wedding reception. It’s one of Gateshead’s hidden gems and can be found just beside The Sage. It’s a fantastic building for a wedding with amazing high ceilings and an unbelievable view of the Tyne Bridge.

This was a fantastic wedding to shoot - I loved working in new, challenging venues and finding creative ways to capture the day. And on such a stunning day in September, the conditions were perfect!

Congratulations again to Mr and Mrs Perry!

As You Like It Wedding Photography, Lesley & Barry 17th March 2019

With a busy month of weddings coming up this May I’m looking back at my first wedding of the year in March, when Lesley and Barry said “I do” with an intimate wedding ceremony at As You Like It. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing a previous wedding party at this amazing venue, so it was great to be back! I just love that the whole place is covered in fairy lights, and the terrace bar provided a stunning backdrop for some group photos with the happy couple and their families.

Rebecca & Luke Hallinan, Storthes Hall Wedding, 26/08/18


Mr & Mrs Hallinan 💗

This was a really special wedding for me to photograph because Rebecca has been a close family friend of mine for a very long time so it meant a lot to me to be a part of their big day. Rebecca and Luke said 'I do' at their local church in Halifax, followed by a stunning reception at Storthes Hall Park - The Venue in Huddersfield with lots of friends and family. It was such a brilliant day with an delicious two tier battenburg and carrot wedding cake made by Emma, Becca's sister! Flowers arranged by their Aunty Linda, and excellent music performed by North Road, who took "audience participation" well in their stride! (Microphone hi-jacking and 2-year old tambourine players 😂)

Sarah & Kev, Vallum Farm Wedding. 26th July 2018

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Sarah & Kev's Wedding at Vallum Farm last month. Sarah and I have known each other since nursery so I was really happy when she asked me to photograph her wedding! They had a beautiful reception held in the marquee with fairy-lit-gin-bottle centre pieces, cocktail themed tables and a bake off style cake table! Vallum Farm is surrounded by stunning Northumberland countryside and it was the hottest day of the year. It was an amazing day to photograph and I feel very honoured to have been chosen as their wedding photographer :) Congrats again Sarah & Kev! I wish you both a full and happy life together! ♥️

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Ward! 💛

Russell & Phillipa had an "After the Wedding Wedding Party" at As You Like It after their official wedding in Barbados in June. It was an evening filled with friends, family, adorable kids & lots of dancing! I absolutely loved photographing at this venue, there are so many twinkly lights and cool details that really help to make the photos pop!
