Faff Free Wedding Photography

We absolutely love what we do; As Durham Wedding Photographers based in the North East of England, documenting weddings around the North East, including Northumberland, Newcastle, Durham and of course across the UK, we get to share so many wonderful memories and capture the feeling, the fine details, the love, emotion and the expressions without intruding into our clients day. Our Wedding Photography is driven by you, your personalities, your guests, your party - not by a series of shot lists created from previous weddings - you and your wedding are unique and we strive to create compelling, emotive and original ideas that tell the story of your unique day!

We've documented so many beautiful weddings across the entire UK, but we've also captured weddings at some of the most exclusive wedding venues in the North East, including the amazing Bamburgh Castle, Durham Castle, Hallgarth Manor, Langley Castle, Beamish Hall, Ellingham Hall, Doxford Barns, Healey Barn, Wynyard Hall, Newton Hall & the quirky Le Petit Chateau!

About Us

We’re not the average wedding photographer - we don’t work to shot lists, or take the same routine wedding photographs that the majority do - we capture the day as it happens, striving to be different, unique and creative with every photograph we take.

We're a fun & down to earth couple; such an important attribute for making our couples and guests feel so relaxed. It doesn't matter where we are, whether we're photographing a Durham Wedding, a wedding Newcastle, in Scotland, Yorkshire, or anywhere else, each and every wedding is different, each with their own uniqueness, driven by their own vibe & personality. We endeavour to capture those unique special moments; when you are who you are, no fake smiles, no clichés, nothing 'cheesy', no 'staged' scenes; Just honest, emotive, real moments in time, captured forever!

If you're looking for wedding photographers in County Durham, drop us a message, we'd love to have a chat.

Mariam + Liam - Tipi - Ullswater - Lake District

Craig and Andrea photographed our wedding this summer at the Lake District and it was one of the best wedding decisions we made. If you choose them to photograph your wedding you are getting much more than just wedding photographs.

You have the opportunity to meet this awesome couple in person for a complimentary engagement photoshoot (ours lasted over two hours and we got some beautiful photos - they even printed a big version of our favorite shot to display at our wedding) - this is so refreshing because you are able to work with them before your actual wedding day and you get a feel of how to work together to get the best possible pictures on your wedding day.

Most importantly, their presence on the actual wedding day was so unique and unobtrusive. This meant that our pictures were so natural and in the moment, it felt so easy to be photographed by them.

The most unique thing about them was the feeling of familiarity. We felt as though they were friends at our wedding and not someone there to do a job. They got along with all our guests (some who didn't even speak English) and got beautiful shots of the children at our wedding.

We can not recommend them enough!
