I'm all about crafting one-of-a-kind bride and groom portraits, treating each wedding like a creative playground to outdo my last masterpiece. Every couple is a rockstar duo in my book, and their portraits should totally scream "extraordinary"! My mission as a wedding photographer? Besides making your day look like a fairy tale and ensuring you shine like a star, I'm here to make you feel at ease. I aim to be like a stealthy ninja at weddings—just a friendly face with a camera! I love weaving your day into a captivating story, snapping those magical moments as they naturally unfold, while sprinkling in some dazzling creative shots. I kick things off with the morning prep and hang around after the first dance to soak up the evening vibes. This way, everyone can let loose and savor the day without stressing about the clock. Even if the schedule goes rogue, I'm there to snag all the special moments—no wristwatch required. Think of it as a lifetime investment in joy! If you're s…
At SMJH Photography, I specialise in capturing weddings with heart, honesty, and a calm, unobtrusive approach. Based in Gateshead and working across the North East (and beyond), I document real moments — the quiet glances, the belly laughs, the tears of joy — that make your day uniquely yours.
My style blends candid storytelling with timeless portraits, always guided by connection and care. I work closely with every couple to understand what matters most to them, creating galleries that reflect not just how the day looked, but how it felt.
Whether you’re planning a rustic celebration, a city wedding, or something entirely your own, I’ll walk alongside you with warmth and clarity — helping you feel confident, supported, and truly seen. I welcome all love stories and celebrate every kind of wedding with kindness, creativity, and respect.
If you’re looking for photography that honours your story and preserves your legacy with emotion and authenticity, I’d love to be part of your day.

Debbie Munro Celebrant
I’m Debbie, an independent celebrant, serial happy-cryer and firm believer that your ceremony should never be the boring bit people sit through to get to the prosecco.
Whether you’re planning a big confetti explosion of a wedding, a cosy “just us and a handful of mates” do, or something delightfully quirky that your nan will talk about for years, I’m here to help you celebrate it your way.
I’ll get to know you, dig out those little stories that make your relationship unique, and weave them into a ceremony that’s warm, fun and full of personality. Think less “stuffy script”, more “your love story with better lighting”.
When I’m not writing ceremonies, you’ll usually find me chatting to dogs at weddings, rescuing smudged mascara with tissues, or trying not to well up before you do.
If you’d like a ceremony that feels like you (with just the right mix of romance and giggles), I’d love to chat.
