I met with Jaclyn and Tim back in the Springtime, and they showed me around the barn they were going to hold their wedding reception in. A working barn, completely with farm equipment, tractor, straw, mess and, well, smell. They told me they had a vision for their and I never doubted for a second that this pair wouldn’t pull it off – I just never imagined it to look as amazing as it did.

Accompanied by their beautiful son, William, whose christening followed the ceremony, they married on Friday and I couldn’t have been happier to be part of it with the help of the wonderful Darren Mack Photography. Amazing.

As I left, Tim said: “You know, I think we pulled it off.” See for yourselves, here is a little preview of their day..

Moving.. Weddings.. Chaos.. AKA Life recently.

August 28, 2013 | SallyT

The past few weeks have been such a blur, which is why it’s been a little quiet around here. Here is a little breakdown of what’s been going on..

Gorgeous couple Sarah and Lee married at Hall Garth in Darlington in an outdoor ceremony.. they smiled like this all day long..

Kirsty and Mark ran away to the Lake District and married in front of a handful of family and friends in a secret ceremony, then we went for a boat ride around Lake Windermere..

I met Harry! I photographed Bryde and Rob’s wedding last August, their maternity shoot a month or so ago and 10-day-old Harry this weekend. Scrummy.

A family shoot within a birthday party.. lots of bouncing and bubbles.. wonderful chaos.

My own not-so-little Vivienne turned four.. I still can’t believe it. She’s a dream.

We moved house and traded Middlesbrough for Leeds. We’ve been in this house for a few years, and although I never particularly liked it, it’s now full of our memories. Vivienne has grown up a lot here and I think she was pretty sad to leave.. especially once we explained we weren’t moving the house..

Boxes, boxes, boxes. Lots of driving up and down between Middlesbrough and Leeds. Last date night in Middlesbrough with Dav. Stolen moments with Vivienne and her cousins. LOTS of food.

It’s been tough but I’m really excited to see how we make Leeds ‘our place’.. the boxes won’t get unpacked for weeks no doubt.. and while we’ve been so busy Vivienne has been having adventures with grandparents in London and the Lake District.. she’s having a wonderful Summer but unfortunately we don’t have a huge amount of time to share as many parts of it as we’d like at the moment. Every time I see her I could eat her, and can’t wait until we settle in and back into more of a (as much as I thought I hated this word) routine. Hope you’re all enjoying your summers.. I have a few more weddings this weekend and a busy September.. but I promise to take more time to blog it all as I go! Happy days xx

I don’t really know where to begin to tell you about Rosie & Jon’s wedding.. It’s been completely different for me shooting and editing a couple when you know them well as part of your family, have watched their family grow over the past few years, get engaged, moving houses, spent holidays with them.. knowing everything that has preceded them in their relationship before standing up together in front of kiddywinks, family and friends and saying their vows.

We all travelled over to Italy, landed in Rome (survived driving a hire car on the ring road), climbed a winding road high up into the hills to find Arpino, spent nights in the piazza drinking wine, ate antipasti, watched the kids running around (until the wee hours).. All topped off with a fantastic wedding surrounded by dozens of family and friends on both sides..

Here is a small preview from Rosie and Jon’s wedding.
