Wedding Photographer Northumberland, Newcastle upon Tyne, & North East PhotographyMy vision is to create a stunning blend of documentary style wedding photography with dramatic portraiture, as a more contemporary wedding photographer. My style is capturing you as people by being in the background and by being as unobtrusive as I can be. I am a strong believer in retaining your heritage with a few traditional shots and coming home with a few wow shots. It really is the perfect blend for telling your unique wedding story.
Wedding Stories are so much more than great wedding photography. It is having the ability to narrate the day, plan and design the photography around your comfort zones and look after you throughout your special day. I am proud to say that most of my bookings are from recommendations, based on the personalised service that you recieve.
I am an ex-high school teacher originally from Darlington, yet I now reside in Newcastle as a full time wedding photographer. Most of my work is within the North East of England, with weddings in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, Durham, a few in Scotland and a few abroad. My reputation for wedding storytelling as well as my charming personality and relaxed approach are the reasons I am approached for wedding venues, from all over the UK and internationally.

I love looking for connections between people, picking up on the cues and finding your story. I aim to capture those real moments. Most of all its those moments you dont see. My style is timeless, preserving skin tones and light without false colours or overstyled. My approach is unobtrusive and more about getting you, that way when you look back in years to come your photos will not only be amazing, but completely relatable. I'm Paul, a North East wedding photographer covering Northumberland and Newcastle and anywhere couples will have me!
I am Paul, one of the biggest names in the North East with over 400 weddings experience and a 7 year background in teaching photography and film. We are mostly found via word of mouth over any advertising and it is due to our amazing service on the day. We prefer your wedding experience to be relaxed with very little fuss or interference leaving your moments to just happen. We try to keep to 40 full day weddings a year, but this year with postponements are up to 71 full day weddings up and down the country.

Paul did an amazing job with our wedding story! We absolutely love our photographs and the whole day was captured so perfectly through Paul's style. He was fun, energetic and made everyone at the wedding feel so relaxed! Thank you so much Paul, you have given us something so precious, which will treasure forever!

Wow...what an incredible photographer and wonderful man! Paul facilitated the best day of our lives and charmed the entire wedding cohort in the process! He was full of energy whilst being patient, he was flexible whilst ensuring he got the important shots and he was always on hand whilst never being intrusive. I can count on one hand how many reviews I have written but I could not forgive myself if hadn't taken a moment to shout from the rooftops about how amazing Paul and his photography is.

WOW - is all I feel I keep saying! We got married on Saturday 7th July, not even a week ago and already we have received 9 beautiful photos from Paul, which have made us extremely excited about the rest.
Paul is very relaxed and that shows in his natural, beautiful photography. We’re not very good in front of the camera, but Paul told us what he wanted and also told us the best thing we could do was not focus too much on the fact a camera was there.
We felt at ease, which made us enjoy our day even more. All the guests loved Paul. We were so very thankful he was there to capture our special day. If you have a date for your wedding - please book Paul in now - I can guarantee you will not regret it. After all - what else will you have left of your day which will last a lifetime?

From the get go Paul made Ben and I feel at ease when discussing our wedding. We had a Skype meeting where we talked about ourselves, what we do and what we wanted on the day. The conversation felt relaxed and it easily flowed. At the end if the Skype call there was no obligation to book Paul but we were so thrilled we booked him there and then. Any communication from then on was prompt and informative, this I found to be helpful as he explained everything I asked.
On the day of the wedding Paul was just fantastic, we had a videographer which we informed him about and the both of them together were hilarious. He made us feel at ease, there was no camera shoved in my face and anytime he wanted a certain picture he would direct Ben or I to get what he wanted. He captured some top notch natural laughing moments and even some of me giving people "the look".
This I found hilarious as it is me through and through. Some of the pictures he took have been so good to look at because as the bride and groom you really don't realise how fast the day goes by. Once the evening came he was prepared so snap some shots of our first dance, this was a ballroom number so I had told him where I would be moving around so he could get in position.
There are some excellent shots from the dance which I am so proud of. It was raining just before he was about to go and as a last minute shoot we went outside. Now these pictures are incredible, every single person loves the outcome of the light behind us in the rain. I recommend doing this if you can as you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much Paul, you are one amazing person and very talented
