Beamish Hall Wedding Photography
This is the first in a series looking at some of best venues from my perspective as a wedding photographer in Newcastle. As a wedding photographer I will naturally pay a lot of attention to the aesthetics of the venues, but I know how important other factors like the food and staff are to a wedding day so I’ll also say a little from my own experiences about those other elements that make a venue special.The first venue, Beamish Hall, is one of the top venues for wedding photography in Newcastle, thanks to its combination of stunning architecture and scenic setting.
Shafto Hall, the usual room for wedding ceremonies at Beamish Hall, has a very traditional feel and looks particularly good once the candles are lit. As nice as the interior of Beamish Hall is, it is the exterior of the building that really makes it special for wedding photography.
I’m going to betray my lack of architectural knowledge by guessing at neo-classical to describe the pillars at the side of Beamish Hall. Wedding photographers love the opportunity to use the features of buildings as components of the wedding photos and Beamish Hall is perfect for that.
There are also very spacious grounds which extend into the distance and make a beautiful backdrop for both more formal and reportage wedding photography. Newcastle doesn’t have many venues that offer a better a combination of architecture and sheer open space.
Although it isn’t essential for me as a wedding photographer, Beamish Hall has incredibly friendly and efficient staff which makes a massive difference to the perceptions of the couple. Like a duck above water the wedding day will be cruising along perfectly, while the staff work hard behind the scenes to keep things smooth.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Beamish Hall as one of the top wedding venues in Newcastle for wedding photography – and one of the very best at making sure your wedding is everything you wanted it to be.
