Mr & Mrs Hunter - Copthorne Hotel, Newcatle

Robert and Annette Bedson are simply the best. As every bride & groom knows there is so much to arrange for the big day and ensuring that all of those memories are captured perfectly is quite high on the priority list.
For us we had no one who came recommended so it was a case of searching on google, that was where we thankfully came across Northlights Photography. From our first nervous conversation we can truly say Bob put both myself and my husband at ease and are search stopped.
We met several times before our big day 9th Feb 2013, and each time we spoke Bob listened to what we had to say, he gave advice and explained exactly what would happen both on our pre wedding shoot and on our day. Our nerves disappeared and we were able to enjoy the build up to our big day.
When our photos were ready for both the pre shoot and our wedding, they showed how talented this couple truly are as these memories were captured perfectly.
Whenever I am asked to show friends our album they ALL love it, we chose to opt for something Bob had never seen before, bless him, he never tried to talk us out of it but did say he had never had anyone who chose this album - we were so pleased with it because it's different and not the typical leather.
On our big day both Bob and Annette never stopped from 11.30 until well past 8 o' clock, they must have been exhausted, all of our guests commented on how good they were, thank you is quite simply not enough for how amazing you guys are.
PS the final touch of our Calendar was truly awesome :-) We certainly would recommend anyone to use Northlights Photography.

The first time I meet Robert was in 2010 at a wedding fair at the Beamish park hotel, Robert and his daughter Rhiannon were running a competition for Northlights photography to be your photographers at your wedding for FREE!!!

I entered the competition but never thought I would win a few weeks later I received a call from Robert to say I had won the competition I couldn't believe it!!

From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure having Robert and his family sharing our big day. Robert is a true gentleman and the fact he works with his wife Annette and daughter Rhiannon adds something unique and special to there service.

The package we won was fantastic from the pre wedding shoot we got to know Robert better and he got to know us better too which helped us relax a lot more.

Robert kept in contact with us right up to the big day, on the 26th aug 2011 our wedding had arrived. On the morning of our wedding Annette came to photograph me and Robert and his daughter went to my husband Ross, I loved how they did this as from the photos that had been taken a story was told by seeing what both the bride and groom had done on the morning of there wedding.

Robert, Annette and Rhiannon were just fantastic on our big day and so well organised. The weather wasn't the best on the day but the results of the photos were brilliant. I couldn't be happier with our photos and album they are beautiful.

Ross and I would like to say a massive thank you to you all and thank you for the fantastic prize we won.

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did on our wedding photography. The photos are fantastic! Everyone has said how good you were on the day which we completely agree with. We have both said how you helped us relax in the morning and you were really good at getting people where they needed to be!

Mr & Mrs Nattrass - Hallgarth Manor

Robert and Annette were the photographers for my wedding on August 19th 2012. They were professional, courteous, and kind. They went above and beyond what we expected of them throughout the entire process. From start to finish, their organisation skills were exemplary. The pre-wedding shoot where Robert took me and my wife was excellent idea and we will treasure these professional photographs for life. On our wedding day their ideas and creativity truly stood out. From posing guests for family and group portraits to candid shots, they truly captured every magical moment of our big day even when the weather was pouring with rain, they were quick thinking and experienced with how to make every situation an advantage to us. Since the wedding, I have shown my wedding pictures to dozens of people via their professional secure online gallery. Each and every person has been completely amazed at the work that they did for us. Robert and Annette are truly talented photographers and a pleasure to work with. They made the entire process easy for us and enjoyable. North-Light Photography comes with my highest recommendations for your photography needs whether for a wedding or a professional photo shoot.

Mr & Mrs Dunwoodie - Jersy Farm, Barnards Castle

We wanted to share our gratitude and thanks for the wonderful photos taken by your self and your wife on our wedding day.

We booked North lights for our wedding photography roughly a year and a half prior to the wedding day. From the day we met Robert we knew that he was who we wanted to photograph our special day. Robert was helpful as we did not know exactly what we wanted from our wedding photography, but after meeting with Robert and seeing his previous work we both felt confident and at ease with his suggestions.

North lights offer a selection of wedding packages suitable to varied budgets and taste and we felt that the packages offered were affordable and of a high standard. North lights offered a pre wedding shoot as part of the package we chose, as a couple we were both apprehensive about this as did not see the relevance of this, but North lights explained that this would make the day more relaxed. Following the pre wedding shoot we both felt much more at ease having our photograph taken and understood the relevance and importance of doing this, it helped the photography flow well on the day of the wedding.

On the wedding day we had two photographers one whom worked with the bridal party and the other with the grooms party, taking photos over the morning capturing all the wedding preparations. They both went above and beyond their roles helping the groom with his tie and button hole and his wife helping in a wedding dress stain crisis. They both remained professional at all times and did not intrude on the day with our family and friends.

Seeing the photos post the wedding day was a fantastic experience, seeing the day on photo really reminded us of the special moments we shared and the team also captured moments we did not know about providing insight to moments missed.

The final album laouty was very good, photographs well presented in chronological order. Initial draft received was perfect and did not require any touch ups or changes. Online viewing and ordering process simple and easy to use. All interactions with the North lights team were met with a timely response. Overall as a couple we were delighted with the overall product and professional service we received and would recommend North Lights to all those looking for a wedding photographer.
