It's always special shooting a wedding right on your own doorstep, and this past Saturday was an absolute belter! 📸
I was down the road to capture the beautiful wedding of Jess & Mark, and honestly.. you couldn't ask for a more welcoming bunch! 🥂
The morning started over at Babs’ house (Jess’ mam) with the girls getting ready, and the atmosphere was brilliant—they were so much fun to be around! After that, we popped over to the Hilton Hotel in Stockton to catch up with the groomsmen! 🏨 Jess had organized the most incredible surprise for Mark.. who sadly lost his mam not long ago. She had her ashes placed inside a beautiful pair of cufflinks, ensuring she was right there with him every step of the way on his big day 🖤
They said their 'I dos' in a lovely local church that held such a deep personal meaning for Jess, as it was the church her late Grandma Valerie used to attend. ⛪ Following the ceremony, we whisked these two beauts away to Norton Duck Pond for some cracking portraits by the water, before heading over to Moline Cross for an amazing reception! 🌿✨
Being a Thornaby lad myself, having a wedding so close to home was lovely, but it was Jess, Mark, and their amazing families who truly made the day. They made both me and Russ feel like part of the family from start to finish—keeping us looked after with drinks and feeding us some proper belter pork buns and roasties! 🥩🍺
Massive congratulations to this gorgeous pair, and a huge thank you from both me and Russ for having us along!
Here's your Sneak Peeks! 🖤
