A BRIDE and groom to be, who won their dream wedding in a Northern Echo competition, have met with the photographer who will capture their special day.

Zoe Coleman and Brett Barraclough, from Darlington, were the lucky winners of the Win a Wedding competition and are preparing for their nuptials in the summer.

Their prize includes a complete wedding package - ceremony 50 for guests, at Redworth Hall Hotel, near Darlington, on June 30, as well as other essentials including flowers, a cake, the dress and suits.

Miss Coleman and Mr Barraclough had an appointment with photographer Fyzal Kirk on Sunday (March 31) to discuss arrangements for the big day.

The photography element of their prize includes Sunday’s pre-wedding shoot, with complimentary print, as well as up to three hours of photography on the day, a high-resolution, royalty-free disc with 50 images and a £200 voucher towards the purchase of an album.

Miss Coleman said Mr Kirk put both her and her husband-to-be at ease during the appointment.

She said: “I don’t mind having my photo taken, but Brett isn’t so keen. He was fine on the day though.

“Fyzal is really nice, he made us both feel relaxed and comfortable.”
