Kelly and Bart flew in from Dubai to celebrate their winter wedding back in the UK — and brought the warmth with them. Held at Runa Farm in County Durham, their late ceremony took place under the glow of fairy lights, candles, and one of the venue’s standout features — a grand chandelier that looked straight out of a fairy tale, combining natural rural beauty with cool Balearic vibes-styled interior.
It felt like a destination wedding with a winter twist — rustic textures, warm stone walls, and that moody December atmosphere working in perfect harmony. As darkness fell, the place came alive with twinkling lights inside and out, giving everything that Christmas magic without trying too hard.
After the ceremony, sparklers lit up the night — guests wrapped in coats, drinks in hand, the kind of scene that just feels like joy. And then came the party: live music, laughter, and a proper festive buzz.
This wasn’t just a Christmas wedding. It was a reunion, a homecoming, and a celebration of everything that matters. And it looked incredible doing it.
Thanks to Mark Wallis for second shooting for me!
