NATURAL, TIMELESS STORYTELLING
A DIFFERENT KIND OF NORTHUMBERLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi, I’m Erika, a Northumberland wedding photographer who’s captured hundreds of weddings across the region.
Every wedding is unique, as is every couple, and I think your photography should reflect that. Your wedding is made up of countless unscripted moments: the sharing of laughter, the pop of a champagne cork, the terrible dance moves. It’s in the sound of the cheers, the drift of confetti, the fires of emotion burning bright. All these add up to a day of unforgotten memories.
My documentary-style photography lives in the unplanned moments. Images that feel intentional without feeling staged. These, paired with editorial portraits, create a timeless aesthetic for your day.

PHOTOS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEIR PEOPLE
While much of my work is filled with natural light and vibrant colour, stripping that away reveals a different kind of magic. My editing style recreates the filmic texture of the pre-digital era, leaning into dropped greens and vivid skin tones—a timeless aesthetic that looks stunning against Northumberland's landscapes.
My wedding photography is all about capturing the moment and preserving memories in a beautiful and artistic way. I capture the true atmosphere of your day as it unfolds naturally—so when you look back at your photos, you see real emotions, real connection, and the people you love most.
MY PHILOSOPHY
Candid & Colourful
I embrace unscripted moments and rich, timeless colour. My focus is on capturing the genuine atmosphere and vibrant palette of your celebration without interrupting the natural flow of your day.
Unobtrusive & Intentional
I rely on a quiet, low-profile approach on the day. This keeps you completely comfortable and present with your guests, while quietly making space for portraits that feel effortless, relaxed, and intentional.
NORTHUMBERLAND WEDDINGS, THROUGH MY LENS
A LITTLE LOCAL KNOW-HOW GOES A LONG WAY
Northumberland offers some of the most dramatic wedding backdrops in the UK, but every location comes with its own light, landscape, and weather quirks. Knowing how to work with those elements is key to effortless documentary photography.
Having photographed celebrations across the region, I understand how to get the absolute best out of every setting—whether that’s navigating the coastal wind at Barn on the Bay, capturing evening fire-pit glow at Le Petit Château, or chasing golden hour light across historic estate grounds.
If you're planning your day in this incredible region and want a photographer who understands its unique rhythm, I'd love to chat.
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 built 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.

“Erika did our 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.”
