I loved Anna and Ali’s wedding as soon as I laid eyes on their images. This is everything a wedding needs to be, nothing more or less: a lovely couple surrounded by their best people, and a heartfelt celebration filled with love. Images by Newcastle wedding photographer Joss Denham are relaxed, natural and utterly perfect. Styling was kept understated, yet beautiful, with white and pink blush for the flowers. And the advice Anna and Ali share for other couples resonates with many of our recent posts here on the blog and on our instagram:
Weddings are real. Weddings are real days, in your real lives, where you’re the same people as you are today. Weddings are everyday life, amplified a million times over: excitement, laughter, love and the people you invite to be around you, bring that amplifying effect. If I were to follow that sentence with something about a dress, and floral styling, it wouldn’t quite fit… and yet that’s how we’re generally shown weddings in the media. (Wedding blogs included – we publish weddings with beautiful styling and details, and they’re a joy to share.) But gorgeous styling isn’t what will stand the test of time in your images. We have to turn our attention back to people for that.
Finding amazing suppliers and trusting them to create something stunning will guarantee you an unforgettable wedding. For lovely Amanda & Keith, their dream team included Lakes wedding photographer Mark Battista, floral stylist Kevin from Brackens of Bowness and the utterly charming Broadoaks Country House. If I could start every year with a real wedding like this, I would!

Lake District wedding photographer Mark Battista
Today’s wedding is glorious: a ceremony in nature, surrounded by buttercups and grasslands. Wiltshire wedding photographer Greg Shingler captured the essence of Holly & Adam’s day beautifully. The groom and bride look amazing, the vibe is relaxed and utterly joyful, and the sun shone at the perfect moment!

Wedding photographer review
Greg is amazing! He captured everything we asked for whilst being so lovely to all of our guests. He knows exactly what he’s doing and he’s so easy to talk to.
A real wedding from beautiful Yorkshire… with the most wonderful flowers and a gorgeous couple! I love how the light shines through Megan’s Essense of Australia dress. I adore the meadow style flower arrangements and the way the couple gave florist Jo at Clock Dandelion free rein to create their stunning arrangements. The images are utterly wonderful and I know you’ll adore this day, captured by talented North Yorkshire wedding photographer Joss Denham.
Wedding photographer review
I would recommend Joss time and time again. He was absolutely fantastic, and also slotted right in with all our family and friends. It never felt like we had a photographer following us, and we got some incredible photographs that we will cherish forever.
