July/August 2022

 
Hello, my name is Claire and I’m addicted to looking at reader weddings. And nope, it’s not those group or couples’ shots I’m yearning for, as gorgeous and glorious as they may well be. In fact, it’s those ‘caught-in-the-moment’ snaps I particularly love, where you or your guest have been papped without even realising. The moment a real wedding gallery pings in my inbox I’m on it, poring through the evening reception photos for the perfect shots that capture your big day to perfection. By this time those nerve-wracking speeches have been spoken, and the drinks have been flowing, with everyone properly letting their hair down for the first time that day. The result? Some cracking wedding pictures. Groom deciding his tie is better suited around his head than his neck? Check. Female guests’ sky-scraper heels abandoned for some serious moves on the dance floor? Check. I can go on and on…

With my guilty confession in mind, it goes without saying that this issue has a host of amazing wedding photography for you to savour. We’ve 12 pages of stunning reader weddings to enjoy, starting on p27, and two exclusive local shoots for you to be inspired by, shot on location at Northumberland’s Lough House Farm (p45), and Newcastle’s The Willows at The Woodmans (p78). Then there’s our line-up of some of the North East’s top photographers over on page 48 – if their images don’t whet your wedding appetite, nothing will! Also this issue, we’ve been busy scouring the region for the very best venues to say ‘I do’ to, from sensational Sunderland (p15), to rustic locations perfect for a boho festival vibe (p21). All that plus incredible honeymoons, grooms’ news, fashion, beauty, venue styling and more.

Happy wedding planning!

Lumley Castle Hotel

Perched on a hill just 10 miles from Sunderland’s centre you’ll find Lumley Castle, a much-loved landmark and testament to a bygone age of chivalry and romance. A quintessential fairytale castle, complete with turrets, drawbridge, a pretty courtyard and sweeping driveway, it certainly makes the most stunning setting for a wedding.

Opulence and comfort are the hallmarks of Lumley Castle’s interior, where Medieval features, such as flagstone floors and vaulted ceilings, coexist with spectacular Georgian plasterwork. Step outside and you’ll look on to the banks of the River Wear, with the hotel’s nine acres of grounds the perfect setting for fireworks and photographs.

Ceremonies can be held in either The Scarbrough Room – one of the largest State Rooms, overlooking the grounds and with a maximum capacity of 80 – or The Garter Room, which boasts exquisite Georgian plasterwork and can hold up to 132 guests. You can then enjoy a reception in The Garter Suite (132 guests); Barons Hall (110 guests); The Scarbrough Suite (56 guests); The Northumbria Suite (40 guests); The Black Knight Restaurant (50 guests); The Gilt (18 guests); or The Sceptre (12 guests).

94% of dog owners getting married want to involve their pets
 
On the biggest day of their lives, 94% of dog owners planning a wedding for this year revealed they will give their dog a starring role in the celebrations. This shows a new trend for this year, increasing by more than a third (39%) since pre-Covid and reaching more than three times the level of 30 years ago (213% increase). The new research by charity Guide Dogs shows that the wedding roles dogs can expect to play over the next 12 months will vary.
