You are the reason 💕

It was Molly and Johnathon’s wedding last week, and wow - what a way to start the year! This was my first wedding of 2026 and it was actually a year ago from their date that I photographed my first wedding as Lydia Turner Photography. So this wedding is special to me as it is to the couple ❤️

Their venue, Whitworth Hall, was gorgeous inside and out...plus it’s a deer park! There was so many photo opportunities that we had to had to sneak out of the reception for the couple photos, but it was so nice to wind down and take it all in before they danced the night away. The chapel, the gardens were beautiful even in winter and they even got photos with the deers. As you can tell, it was a dream to photograph!!

For this wedding I actually stayed with the bridal party the night before due to the distance (Spennymoor, Durham) and by the end of it I really did feel like I was a guest. Everyone was a joy to work with, the couple were up for all the suggestions I had and the atmosphere was just fantastic all-around! Thank you so much again for having me and I hope they enjoy the preview photos below☺️
