Healey Barn Wedding Photography – Natural and Emotive

I really do recommend Healey Barn for couples planning their wedding in the north of England, and I’d like nothing more than to be your Healey Barn Wedding Photographer.  Wedding photography is an incredibly important aspect of your wedding day. Your wedding photos will serve as a lasting reminder of your special day and the love you share. Through my photographs I capture the emotions, moments, and memories of your wedding day in a way that you can cherish for years to come.  With me on board,  you know you have a skilled and experienced photographer on your wedding day can make all the difference in the quality of your photos.

I’m an award winning UK based photographer who specialises in natural photography.  My focus is on empathy and telling your story.  I want my images to really reflect who you are, how you felt, how you loved and were loved.  To me weddings are more than about one day, it’s about capturing relationships and I create images that you will want to look at time and time again.  I join you at the start of the day and am often the last to leave at night.  I believe the only way to truly capture your day is to live every moment of it with you.  When the time is right, maybe between courses, maybe as the evening guests start to arrive, we can slip away for a few moments and make some truly awesome portraits and you guys can take in how awesome the day really is and how awesome being married is!

Your wedding photos will also provide a way for you to relive your wedding day whenever you want. As time passes and memories fade, your photos will allow you to revisit the emotions and moments of your special day and remember all the love and joy that you experienced.   In short, choosing the right photographer for your wedding is essential and I that guy!

Healey Wedding Photography that tells your story…

“Andy’s photographs just blew as away.  Wed been drawn to his work from the first look, and after talking to him we knew he just ‘got us’ and what we wanted. He out us at ease and we knew we were in safe, experienced and talented hands.”

Your wedding photographs matter…

Your wedding day will go so quickly, but with the right photographer you can relive the day over and over again.  Each photography I take makes you ‘feel’ once again how you felt at that very moment when it was taken.   It’s the photographs of your wedding day that mean you can relive each moment again and again for the rest of your lives.

In addition to photography, in the last couple of years we have added wedding videography to our packages as an optional add on. My wife, and business partner, Abigail creates the films, shooting alongside me on the day. We both work in the same documentary approach – nothing staged or re enacted, we document what is really happening.  We have a range of film packages for you to choose from – get in touch if you’d like to find out more.

Healey Barn Wedding accommodation and travel

Northumberland is an amazing place to get married, and Healey Barn really is the perfect venue. Rustic charm and rolling countryside.  Getting to Healey Barn is pretty simple – between Newcastle and Hexham, it’s not far off the A68.  The nearest train stations are Riding Mill and Stockfield.   In addition to lots of local accommodation, those hiring Healey Barn can also hire Healey Hall. Located just a short drive one mile away from Healey Barn, the accommodation offers not just the hall but also adjoining cottages that have 17 rooms accommodating up to 34 people.

It’s got some good history to the hall too –  an outpost of The Knights Templar during the Middle Ages, it later acted as a fortified settlement for the English border.  The hall as it is now was completed in the early 1800s and includes numerous period features but also all the home comforts you could ever need.
