Patty Wijas Photography
Part artist, part storyteller, Patty Wijas is the kind of wedding photographer who makes your day look like something out of a film. Based in the North East and open to travel, she shoots in both analogue (35 mm film) and digital formats, embracing an editorial luxury aesthetic.
With an eye for candid, she’s drawn to the real, in-between moments: laughs, tears, quiet glances, weaving them into a beautiful narrative. Past clients mention that she’s calm under pressure, helps with direction when nerves kick in, and manages to blend into the day so seamlessly you barely notice she’s there.
When you hire Patty, you’re securing someone who cares about your story, and will treat your memories like art.
Just Press Play Films
If you want your wedding memories captured in motion, Just Press Play Films are a breath-of-fresh-air videography team based in the North East with national reach. Their signature? Cinematic storytelling that’s subtle, stylish and emotionally grounded. They don’t just record your vows; they capture the space between the words.
Using a mix of super-35mm, 4K and carefully curated sound design, they render your day with a modern, filmic style that feels editorial rather than reportage. Their highlight reels feel like short films, and their feature edits like mini-indie love stories. And because they genuinely care, they’ll guide you through shot lists gracefully, never forcing awkward poses or stolen glances.
Verde Flower Co.
Verde Flower Co. is the kind of florist whose work looks like it leapt off an editorial mood board. Based in the North East, they specialise in eco-conscious, seasonal arrangements that are grown in Northumberland.
They’re passionate about sustainability, growing gorgeous nature-friendly flowers with a wild, joyous design. When you hire Verde, you get more than centerpieces; you get floral storytelling that complements your aesthetic.

Just launched this year, they’re so reasonably priced as they build their portfolio – so get in quick. The Solastra approach is unobtrusive, designed to let the day unfold without interruption.
