Micro Wedding Spanish City Whitley Bay

Catherine and Steven first contacted and booked me in June 2019, long before we had ever heard of corona virus! The plan then was for a pre shoot in April 2020 and the wedding was due to take place on 11th September 2020.

Things didn't go to plan, but then what did go to plan in 2020! The pandemic forced a few changes and so with the wedding postponed and plans looking toward 2021 the original wedding date of 11th of September 2020 was used as a pre wedding shoot with a few close family members. This was great as it gave me a chance to get to know Catherine and Steven and some of their closest friends and family.

We met at St Mary's Lighthouse where an hour or so was spent capturing some fun and relaxed images before going to the wedding reception venue Spanish City.

The beauty of a pre shoot is that anyone with camera phobia can hopefully use this to overcome that fear and be able to relax and enjoy the moment . This certainly worked for Catherine and Steven who on their wedding day I found adopting their poses before I even said anything!!!

We're getting married!!!

Catherine and Steven watched closely as the rules around social mixing and weddings kept changing until they decided come what may on 23rd April 2021 "We're getting married". Numbers were limited to only 15 but the day was going ahead. These low number weddings are now being known as 'micro weddings' just another phrase to come out of the corona pandemic!
