Newcastle Wedding Photographer

Serving the North East of England

Hi, I’m Erika, an award-winning Newcastle wedding photographer specialising in weddings across the Newcastle and the wider North East.

With 14 years of experience as a Newcastle wedding photographer, I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings at a wide-range of local Newcastle and North East wedding venues. I have a great relationship with many of the top wedding venues in Newcastle and the wider area, meaning I know how days actually run — the light, the timings, and how to get the best images without disrupting your wedding.

My style focuses on luxury, colour and mood — ideal for couples planning relaxed, elegant weddings, from intimate micro weddings (prices starting at £500) to half-day weddings (£995) to full-day celebrations (£1595) at Newcastle and North East venues.

You can view my wedding portfolio to see if my style feels right for you, explore my prices to check availability within your budget, or head to my FAQs for quick answers to common questions.

“Best choice ever! Erika is without doubt one of the best photographers going. We absolutely loved our wedding photos. All my guests commented about how awesome and cool Erika was and how her warm personality allowed her to slip from group to group capturing wonderful images. She was also so kind to me on the day when I got nervous, which really helped going down the aisle. You don’t realise how much your photographer will play a part in your day, and I am so glad we went with Erika.”

Wedding Photography Style for Relaxed, Elegant Newcastle Weddings

The way I photograph weddings in Newcastle and across the North East is built around three things: Natural. Timeless. Storytelling. Together, they create relaxed, elegant wedding photography that allows you to enjoy your day while I quietly capture the moments that matter.

Natural

This approach is ideal for couples who want to spend time with their guests, not posing for hours, and who value genuine moments over stiff, staged images. The best images are where you’re being yourself. I blend into your day photographing as the day unfolds, allowing you to have the magical wedding you’ve been dreaming of. Posed pics are great, but they aren’t where the “true gold” of photography is.

Timeless

This matters especially for weddings at classic North East venues, where elegant surroundings deserve photography that will still feel relevant decades from now. As the years pass what’s in vogue changes. Trends change. Even colour changes its meaning to people. What was cool and hip in the 90’s may not be cool and hip right now. Timeless wedding photography exceeds the barriers of time, becomes classic and enduring. This is done using a perfect blend of composition, creativity and mood.

Storytelling

From morning preparations to the final dance, your images come together as a complete visual story of your wedding day — not just a collection of highlights.

How to Choose your Perfect Wedding Photographer

So you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Newcastle or the North East; perhaps even further afield. With a wide range of photographers to choose from, how do you choose the right one?

A great way of ensuring your wedding photographer is the right fit for you is to find out as much about them as you can.

So what to check?

Firstly, do they cover your area? Whether your wedding is at a Newcastle city venue, a North East castle or barn?”

Do they have a varied, high-quality portfolio and a wedding photography style that matches how you envision your day?

Is the photographer’s personality one you can work with?

Do their FAQs answer some of your burning questions and offer peace of mind that what you will get the coverage you are after?

Do their prices fit your budget?

Do their reviews provide a sense of security and trust? Do your homework: check Google & Hitched to make sure great reviews across the board, especially for local couples who’ve married at venues like Wylam Brewery, Matfen Hall, or Le Petit Chateau.”

Once you’ve answered those questions, you’re ready to pick the right wedding photographer for you.

TIMELESS NORTH EAST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

So, what makes me tick outside of photographing weddings in Newcastle and across the North East?

I love the outdoors. If there’s ever a weekend where I’m not shooting a wedding, you’ll find me half way up a mountain, or traipsing through one of the many beautiful woodlands or beaches the North East has to offer.

On quieter days I love a good book. I enjoy a variety of genres, everything from fantasy to Scandi noir, Edwardian tales of the weird to dark futurism, fantastical realism, and horror. I adore horror movies too, especially the bad ones! You know the terribly acted ones where they’re just as funny as horrific? Rubber monsters are a bonus.

I also have an army of free range chickens in my back garden who sneak into the kitchen on occasion for treats. Did I say ‘on occasion’? I meant all the time. They are like pampered royalty, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Pictures of said chickens, in an array of cute poses, available on request :p

If you have any queries or would like to book me as your wedding photographer don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to hear from you!
