I am going to photograph Victoria and Stuart’s wedding at Lumley Castle this summer. Meanwhile we met in Newcastle for their pre-wedding shoot. Victoria and Stuart are both serving away in the Navy so it was a good opportunity for us to finally get to know each other. John was assisting.

Here are some photos from their session exploring urban textures and settings.

Amazing - just opposite there were some modern bike stands and delivery bays:
