New Website created to showcase weddings photographed
at Wynyard Hall

Arriving at Wynyard Hall
Arriving at Wynyard Hall

Today our website design friends at PWP Web Design in Darlington have published a new online gallery showcasing wedding photographs taken at Wynyard Hall.

Portrait Wedding Photographers were one of the first local companies to photograph weddings at the Hall when it opened up for wedding ceremonies. Since that time we have photographed in every corner - and every corner at Wynyard Hall is delightful!

The entrance to the Hall is through the equally impressive Wynyard housing development. Then past some playing fields and over the bridge, guarded by Lions! Then laid before you is the Hall, still set back along a sweeping gravel drive. The full height, majestic stone columns catch your eye immediately.

For couple thinking about getting married in a venue like this, there is usually compromise to be made. That compromise is that in order to have your whole day in a splendid venue like this, you have to make do with a civil wedding ceremony. Not so at Wynyard Hall. Just off to the right, and still attached to the main building is the Chapel. Ideal for couples who cherish a religious marriage ceremony.

Inside the decoration is second to none. And you can include in that as many palaces as you like. Sir John and his staff have turned Wynyard Hall into the most impressive wedding venue I have seen in the UK! The sculptures, the stained glass, everything is gorgeous.

Even if you are not getting married here, you simply must pop in, sample a cream tea and just take in the lasciviousness of the surroundings.

As you may be aware Portrait Wedding Photographers travel all over Europe and the World, such is the quality of their work. You can still achieve these high standards and because you are local, take advantage of some spectacular Wynyard Hall wedding packages.

For only £695 (at time of publication) you can have from Bridal prep to first dance, covered by not one, but two top notch, expert wedding photographers! Add to that a guarantee of at least 400 images and a high resolution, printable DVD and you are on to a winner.

WARNING: These wedding photography packages are quickly becoming over subscribed. We only carry out one wedding per day and currently taking bookings two years in advance. Having said that some dates, including Saturdays are still available so it is worthwhile giving us a call. Local number 01642 699 018

Because the tree is quite shady, we have to use a little flash to capture all the details.

Another Bride in the Headlines

In the news items on Yahoo today was news that yet another Bride had her wedding day ruined by a so called professional photographer. I am doing all I can to stop this kind of thing happening, but I need more help.

Please, please please point anyone you know that is getting married to look up out 9 tips on choosing a wedding photographer. With over 25 years professional wedding experience I know a few things on what to look out for. I want all brides to go into their wedding knowing that the choices they made were the best for them and fingers crossed, with good advice their day should be remembered for the right things.

The 9 tips on choosing a wedding photographer is on Blogger as a post and there is a video hosted on You Tube and also on www.portrait-wedding-photographers.co.uk

I and my staff can only do so much. A bride recently chose a photographer who was going to use her wedding pictures as his first sample album. He hadn't shot a wedding before. Really, come on. I can show you where the Crocodile infested river is, but please don't then jump into it head first!

In an effort to help more, because after all these are hard times and budgets are tighter and tighter, we have decided to introduce a new wedding photography package. Called Quality on a budget. It includes two professional and experienced photographers, full wedding coverage, a guarantee of over 400 images, website hosting and copyright free DVD's. All for just £695.

Were will we go. More or less the full length and breadth of the UK. The furthest reaches may attract a little extra for travel costs, but our aim to ensure as many brides as possible get lovely, beautiful pictures to capture the story of her wedding day. What does the Groom get - change from £700!

If you book us or not doesn't really matter to me, please read or watch the 9 tips so you know how to spot a bad photographer. Advice is always free and our phone numbers are on the website. Thank you.

is a professional wedding photographer and has been so since 1984. Graduated as an award winning master photographer in 2005. His company is Portrait Wedding Photographers and is based in Darlington but has bases throughout the UK.
