Northumberland Wedding Photographer
Award-Winning, Natural & Timeless Wedding Photography Across Northumberland’s Castles, Coast & Countryside
Hi, I’m Erika — a wedding photographer specialising in relaxed, documentary-style celebrations across Northumberland. From the dramatic coastline of Bamburgh and Alnwick to elegant country houses and historic castle venues, I capture weddings in a way that feels effortless, romantic and true to you. My approach is natural and unobtrusive, focusing on genuine moments as they unfold against the wild beauty of the North East landscape.
If you’re planning a city celebration instead, you can also explore my work as a Newcastle wedding photographer or view weddings I’ve photographed in Durham.
Northumberland Wedding Photography - Venues Spotlight
My love for Northumberland is no secret, and trying to choose a selection of wedding venues to showcase is almost impossible. I mean, how do you pick? Northumberland has so many hidden wedding photography gems like Le Petit Chateau, or Cuddystone Hall on the Scottish Border; historical castles like Alnwick Castle, or Bamburgh Castle; country houses like Shotton Grange; and rural venues like Vallum Farm and Halton Grove.
Here are four very different wedding venues that I think are particularly special:
Healey Barn
Healey Barn is always fun. The varied indoor spaces give a variety of looks. Outdoors there is woodland, an elegant courtyard, and fields that drop away for perfect sunset portraits. There should also be a special mention for the in-house cocktails!
Matfen Hall
For stately beauty you can’t beat Matfen Hall. A Northumberland wedding photographer’s dream! The fireplace in the drawing room was originally build for Buckingham Palace, and it fits right in. An elegant frontage, stunning golf course, and top quality food. This five star wedding venue is something else.
The Barn on the Bay
If you’re looking for low key coastal wedding photography in Northumberland then The Barn on the Bay is perfect. Wed beneath a dramatic Northumberland sky with breath taking views across the North Sea. White sands offer the perfect backdrop for portraits, before dancing the night away in rural comfort.
Newton Hall
Newton Hall is an elegant country house, a short distance from the beach. With high end rooms, a modern ceremony space, and extensive grounds to explore with your guests, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to wedding photography locations in Northumberland.
Beautiful Moments, Exceptionally Captured: Your Northumberland Wedding Photography Story
Although a few posed shots are natural on your wedding day, often the most memorable moments are the unscripted ones. As a Northumberland wedding photographer, I specialise in finding those fleeting, honest fragments of time. A look of love shared in a glance. The laughter of friends and family. The tears of joy as you say say your vows.
These are images that endure against changing trends; suiting historic, modern, and rural venues alike. My aim is to capture the story of your day and present in in such a way that in years to come your images will look just as fresh as they do today.
My job is to capture these moments in all their glory, immortalising them so they can be cherished forever. I focus on the authentic emotions that make your story unique.
Land of singing waters,
And words from off the sea,
God bring me to Northumberland,
The land where I would be.
-Wilfrid Wilson Gibson

Hannah & Graham, The Barn on the Bay, Northumberland Wedding Photography“Erika did out wedding photos which was an absolutely amazing experience.
We didn't have the best weather but Erika managed to capture some amazing photos outside and she adapted amazingly to get great photos inside our venue.
It was a real pleasure to have Erika with us on our wedding day and she did a fantastic job capturing the important moments for us especially of our little girls.”
Will & Nicola, Vallum Farm, Northumberland Wedding PhotographyA Little Bit About Me…
I live on the border of Northumberland, with my partner and an army of free ranging chickens. All of whom have names, such as Bilbo, Pippin and Moth, and all of whom have their own unique little personalities and quirks. Chickens are cool :p
When I’m not photographing weddings in Northumberland I like to travel and spend as much time outdoors as I can enjoying nature and seeing the world. I’m also a mean cook, which leads into other fun areas of my photography. I love to come up with new dishes from the food we grow in our back garden and get up to all sorts of weird experiments and testing involving pickling and fermentation. Sometimes my experiments don’t explode.
I also have a love of old horror movies, adventure stories, whisky, blues dancing, heavy metal, and I’m developing a small addiction to Warhammer 40K. Please don’t judge me.
