Wedding Day Confetti by your Teesside Wedding Photographer
Confetti on your wedding day is purely a personal choice. Some couples do, some couples don't. If you decide to go for confetti my advice is always get plenty of the stuff - makes for great wedding photos. This is actually one of the tips I include on my wedding day advice document that I send out to all of my couples.
Personally I do love confetti photos - once the ceremony is complete and you are married it's such fun watching you emerge into a tunnel of eager guests waiting with confetti in hand. I always advise guests on how best to throw the confetti but as you would image ....there is always at least one guest who has their own idea to step out and aim directly at the bride and groom which always makes for great fun and laughter.
The Hidden Oak has an abundance of space with great backdrops that make for cracking confetti photographs.

The Hidden Oak: Teesside Wedding Photos
Capturing bride and groom wedding portraits at the Hidden Oak Stockton, is an absolute joy for me. The picturesque Teesside wedding venue provides the perfect backdrop for my laid-back, natural, and candid photography style.
The lush landscapes inspire my creativity, and I thrive on incorporating the venue's beauty into my work. However, it's the intimate moments and creative couple portraits that truly capture the essence of my passion. I love the challenge of crafting unique and visually stunning portraits that reflect the couple's love in a way that feels both authentic and artistic. In order to do this I always make sure that I don't take the couple away from their wedding guests for too long. We take around 20 minutes during which I will ask the couple to walk and enjoy being together as man and wife, creating a whole experience. During this time I will maybe share some jokes, little prompts to fully relax the newly weds which always makes for some lovely smiles and laughter in front of the camera without any fuss. With many years of experience following my passion, I have played a huge part in many weddings of all shapes and sizes.
The Hidden Oak Stockton is not just a venue for me; it's a canvas where I can paint unforgettable memories with my camera, celebrating the love and joy of each couple in a style that is distinctly mine.
