The Parlour, Blagdon - top wedding photographer
A stunning wedding for Abi & Joe at The Parlour in Blagdon, Northumberland, complete with a fairytale wedding dress!
The parlour might be a compact wedding venue site compared to some, but from a top wedding photographer’s point of view it’s packed full of different photo ops. Take a look at some quality wedding photography from a top Northumberland wedding venue…
Bridal preps took place in the cottage which is part of this wedding venue. Hair and makeup was by Claire Alexander.
As well as the documentary style candid photos, I found a spot in the bedroom with some stunning light for a few semi-posed bridal boudoir style images. I often do full bridal boudoir shoots for brides before their wedding day so they can gift an album to their partner on their wedding day so this was just a hint at this style.
Meanwhile, over with the groom and groomsmen, the wedding guests were starting to arrive.
Back at The Parlour cottage, the bride was in the final stages of getting her dress on. And what a wedding dress! A stunning Dune Bridal wedding dress from Sisters of Grace in Newcastle on Tyne.
Stepping into the cottage garden, which is out of view of all the wedding guests we did some lovely ‘first look’ photos with the bride’s dad and her brothers.
I then hot footed it across to the wedding ceremony room in time to capture the nervous groom and some emotional images of the bride’s entrance.
After nailing some photos of that all important kiss we headed back to the cottage garden for some requested group photos of all the wedding guests.
Once the bride and groom had refreshed themselves with a drink and a nibble I stole them for 15 minutes to grab some couple photos (I don’t like to take couples away from their guests for any longer than this unless they specifically request it).
A partly overcast day created some lovely light for beautiful wedding photography.
We also explored a couple of ‘secret’ areas slightly away from the main venue location for some natural wedding images.
And made some use of the beautiful stone walls of the Parlour.
As we moved in to the evening we started to capture the fun of the party and of course the start of the big night - the cake cut and first dance.
Abi & Joe left me such a lovely review after receiving their wedding photos from me:
We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos! Geoff was so friendly and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. He captured the most beautiful, natural looking moments without anything feeling staged. Looking back through the photos feels like reliving the day all over again. Our photos are absolutely stunning and… we got them so quickly!! We got our photos back in just over a week and we got a preview of a few photos the day after the wedding. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer!

This is of course just a small selection of the photos received by the couple soon after their wedding day. If you’d like to see a full wedding gallery to get a sense of the mix of candid photos, guest photos, fun and laughter of the day please contact me - I might well have a gallery for the venue you are booking.
