Harry & Carmella’s Stunning Wedding at The Black Horse, Beamish

There are weddings that stay with you long after the day is over—not just because of the beautiful details, but because of the love, laughter, and raw emotion that fills the air. Harry and Carmella’s wedding at The Black Horse in Beamish was one of those unforgettable celebrations, and we at LUX Wedding Photography—proud Durham wedding photographers—were honored to document every magical moment.

Held in the breathtaking Marquee, with panoramic views over the lush Causey countryside, their day was a perfect blend of heartfelt romance and lively fun. Our team—photographers Richard and Courtney, and videographer Ashleigh—were there to capture every tear, laugh, and dance move. Here’s a look back at their incredible wedding.

A Romantic Ceremony with Stunning Views at the Black Horse at Beamish

The Marquee at The Black Horse provided a dreamy setting for Harry and Carmella’s ceremony. Surrounded by sweeping views of Durham’s countryside, the space was filled with natural light, delicate florals, and an atmosphere of pure love. As Carmella walked down the aisle, Harry’s expression was priceless—a mix of awe, joy, and emotion that set the tone for the day.

Their vows were personal and touching, leaving not a single guest (or photographer!) without a tear in their eye. As Durham wedding photographers, we live for these raw, unfiltered moments—the stolen glances, the whispered "I love yous," the tight squeezes of hands. It’s what makes wedding photography so special.

A Confetti-Filled Walk to the Gazebo

After the ceremony, guests showered the newlyweds with confetti as they made their way to the venue’s elegant metal gazebo. Against the backdrop of rolling green hills, the scene was nothing short of magical. The laughter, the vibrant colors, and the way Harry and Carmella couldn’t stop smiling at each other made for some of our favorite shots of the day.

Richard and Courtney captured candid moments—sweet embraces, joyful cheers, and even a few playful confetti fights. Meanwhile, Ashleigh’s videography ensured every burst of laughter and happy tear was preserved forever.

Heartfelt Speeches & a Surprise Video Message Reel

The speeches were a perfect mix of humor and heartfelt emotion. Harry’s best man had everyone roaring with laughter, while Carmella’s family shared touching stories about the couple’s journey together.

Then came the big surprise—a video message reel from Carmella’s friends and family who couldn’t be there in person. As the screen lit up with loving messages, well-wishes, and even a few hilarious anecdotes, the room was filled with emotion. Carmella was overwhelmed (in the best way), and there wasn’t a dry eye in the marquee. It was a beautiful reminder of how loved this couple is, no matter the distance.

Dancing, Games & Unforgettable Celebrations

As the evening unfolded, the Marquee transformed into a party paradise. The dance floor was packed from the first song, but the real highlight was the dance floor games—hilarious, chaotic, and absolutely unforgettable. Guests were rolling with laughter as they competed in variuos challenges, and Harry and Carmella were right in the middle of it all, living their best lives.

The energy was electric, and as Durham wedding photographers, we thrived on capturing those unscripted, joyful moments—dad dance moves, group sing-alongs, and the newlyweds lost in their own little world.
