Belle Studio

Belle Studio is a specialist wedding photography team based in Chester-le-Street, led by husband-and-wife duo Faye and Davy. We focus entirely on wedding photography — from the quiet, joyful moments on the morning of the bride to the laughter and dancing that define your evening. Our approach is relaxed, fun and personal: we want you to enjoy the day while we quietly document the story. Why choose Belle Studio? Because we care. We pour our heart and soul into every wedding, seeking authentic, emotional images that feel alive. Colourful, vibrant imagery and candid, documentary-led moments are at the centre of what we do. We aim to capture the small gestures — the look across the room, the squeeze of a hand, the tear wiped away — as well as the big moments that become lasting memories. As a team who’ve photographed weddings across the north of England and beyond, we understand how to read a day and be in the right place at the right time without interrupting it. What makes our approach special is the combination of personality and professionalism. We blend into the background when you want to be present, and step forward with calm direction when a beautiful, composed portrait or couple moment is needed. We love a good laugh, a bit of Disney-inspired charm, and making couples feel comfortable in front of the camera — whether that’s during a lively reception or a quiet stolen moment away from the crowd. We also offer pre-shoots to help you get used to being photographed and to create relaxed engagement-style images before the wedding. How we work with you: it starts with a friendly chat — often over a cuppa or a beer — so we can get to know each other and plan the flow of the day. We’ll meet again before the wedding to discuss timings and ideas, so on the day everything runs smoothly. Our priority is to create a calm, enjoyable atmosphere where genuine emotion can flourish; our images feel natural because you felt natural. Based in Chester-le-Street, Belle Studio specialises in wedding photography for couples who want joyful, honest, and beautifully crafted photos of their day. If you’re planning a wedding and want a team that brings warmth, humour and wholehearted dedication to your story, we’d love to hear from you.
