North East wedding venues I love

Choosing the perfect setting for your wedding is the first step in telling your unique love story.

As a North East wedding videographer and photographer, I have had the privilege of working at some of the most breathtaking locations in the UK, from the historic grandeur of Durham’s castles to the rustic charm of Northumberland’s barns and the coastal beauty of the North Yorkshire coast. Most of the venues below are in the North East and North Yorkshire, but I am just as happy to travel anywhere in the UK, or abroad for a destination wedding.

The North East offers an incredible variety of backdrops for cinematic films and natural photography. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony at a hidden gem in Stockton-on-Tees or a lavish celebration at a stately home in Newcastle, knowing how the light hits a specific room or where the best sunset spots are located makes all the difference in your final gallery.

Below are some of my favourite venues across the region. I am proud to be familiar with their layouts, staff, and the best hidden corners for stunning wedding portraits.
