Still smiling after the absolute privilege of celebrating Sophee & Jonathan’s gorgeous, intimate, joy-filled wedding down at The Lock in Royal Quays Marina, North Shields 💛
It was the first wedding ever held there and what a triumph it was.
From the moment guests arrived overlooking the marina, there was this quiet, beautiful sense that something really special was unfolding. Not flashy. Not over the top. Just deeply personal, full of heart, and wrapped up in the kind of love you can physically feel in the room.
Sophee & Jonathan haven’t had the easiest run at life lately, but you’d never have known it from the way they showed up for each other on the day. So much warmth. So much tenderness. So many laughs woven in amongst the emotional moments. The kind of ceremony that reminds you what weddings are actually about when you strip everything else back.
A huge shout out to the brilliant Jill and the entire team at The Lock who threw their hearts into making their very first wedding such a success. You’d think they’d been doing them for years 👏
If you're looking for a venue to hold your twilight wedding, look no further than either here or it's sister venue in Tynemouth, The View Tynemouth Longsands
And of course, the wonderful Mr Scott Carney working his magic behind the lens, capturing every look, every squeeze of the hand, every little moment that mattered 📸
A historic day for a stunning venue… but more importantly, a beautiful chapter for two very special people.
Sophee & Jonathan, thank you for trusting me with your story. An absolute honour from start to finish 🤍
