Michelle and Sam were married late July at Knightor Winery in Cornwall. They had chosen Knightor Winery for it’s rustic and relaxed vibe which suited the kind of wedding they were planning for. The outdoors plays a huge part in Michelle and Sam’s life, they met working as guides in an outdoor centre. So I was so pleased for them when their special day turned out super sunny and they could have their ceremony outside under the beautiful oak arbor. I loved the little flower vase Michelle put up on the signing table in memory of her grandma who so sadly is no longer with us. I love special details like this and always make sure they are captured. Another one which caught my eye was the ‘hiking boots flower vases’ which reflects their love for the outdoors, the two were heading straight to the Lake District for their honeymoon.
After the ceremony we ventured to the nearby South Cornwall Coast in a vintage VW Campervan. A beautiful scenic 10-15 minute drive and they took me along for the ride. ‘Honey’ she is called and has been lovingly restored by the owners of ‘Honeybugs’ one of Cornwall’s finest Vintage Campervan hire companies. The trip to the coast was well worth it as we created some stunning shots which are a nice addition to the woodland portraits we took at Knightor.
When we returned to Knightor everyone was enjoying themselves in Knightor’s cosy courtyard playing table tennis and lawn games or just chilling in the sun.
Michelle and Sam weren’t overly keen on a first dance, but some of their guests did the job for them, especially the flower girls. The Smores Bar was also a favourite of young and old, dancing makes hungry!
What a beautiful relaxed day at Knightor. It was an honour to have played a part in it and I made a small collection of my favourites from the day.
