Wedding Photographers in Newcastle upon Tyne

The bridges over the Tyne are Newcastle's signature, and a Quayside portrait with the river and its crossings behind you is a popular choice. The classical stone of Grey Street and Grainger Town gives an elegant city look, while Jesmond Dene, a wooded valley with a stream and waterfall, offers a green escape within the city.

The Northumberland coast, with its long beaches and castles, is within driving distance for couples willing to travel for portraits or a second shoot.

Light and weather in the North East

Summer days are long, giving plenty of time for portraits in the evening. Winter days are short, so a midday ceremony helps. Sea breezes and changeable weather are common near the coast, and a photographer who plans indoor or sheltered alternatives will make the day easier.

Permissions

The Quayside and city streets are public and easy to use, though they can be busy at weekends. Some parks, historic buildings and estates ask for professional photography to be arranged in advance.

Booking ahead

Many photographers in the region cover Tyneside, County Durham and Northumberland. The most popular are often booked well over a year ahead for summer Saturdays. If you are flexible on the day of the week, you will usually find more availability.
