South Causey Inn was the perfect location for Ashley and Michael's summer wedding. With its breathtaking views of the Beamish Valley and rustic charm, it provided the perfect backdrop for their special day. I knew the day was going to be amazing right from the start, with the girls setting the tone for the day as they got ready. The room was a buzz, filled with laughter, and fun, and I loved being there to capture it all in photographs. Nigel was there also to capture the other side of things as Michael and the lads finished getting ready in the Old Barn bar, and the guests arrived for their ceremony. They tied the knot in the St Cuthbert’s Suite, surrounded by their closest friends and family. Ashley looked stunning in her elegant a-line wedding gown as she walked down the aisle on her dad’s arm to meet her groom.
After a fabulous drinks reception in the Old Barn Bar and a few pictures outside, Ashley, Michael, and their guests made their way into the Old Barn for their wedding breakfast and some really fantastic speeches. In the summer, the best light always comes towards the end of the day, so after dinner, we took advantage of the good light and made our way outside to explore the grounds of South Causey Inn. As the evening progressed, the partying started. Ashley and Michael kicked things off with their first dance as husband and wife, opening the dancefloor to everyone else, who all joined in, dancing to their favourite modern country tunes - and wow, these guys love a dance!
Ashley and Michael originally planned to get married in 2020. Two years after their original wedding date and over three since booking us, it was wonderful to finally see them make it down the aisle. It was also great to catch up with Michael’s best man Ben, and his wife Natasha whose wedding we photographed at Brinkburn Priory in 2019. If you want to see their wedding photographs, you can find them here.

“I just wanted to say how thankful we are to have you two capture our day. We honestly had the best day ever. We loved every moment. You guys are just amazing, you made us feel so relaxed and calm all day. You guys are the best!” - Ashley and Michael.
