Harefield Barn WeddingPhotography Devon // Emma & Dan

Emma and Dan’s wedding at Harefield Barn in Devon was fantastic. They are such a lovely couple to work with and are truly made for each other. There was a strong bond and connection to feel between them which really helps to produce some great images.

I met Emma and her bride clan at her mum’s house in Exeter before we headed to St Jame’s church just up the road. Emma’s family have a strong connection to this church so the ceremony and music was breathtakingly beautiful. And their lovely labrador Toby did a great job as ring bearer. For everyone who knows me, I love vintage cars and Emma and Dan travelled in style in a beautiful blue Morris Minor to Harefield Barn for their reception.

It was my first time photographing a wedding at Harefield Barn and I instantly loved it. A gorgeous Barn venue located in the heart of Devon countryside with beautiful rolling hills as a backdrop. A great place to have a relaxed style wedding with your friends and family.

Emma and Dan’s day was blessed with blue skies and sunshine, so we spend most of the day on outside until the dancing started and oh my gosh, everyone was straight into it! Even I had a little tinkle in my legs. What a party!

Emma and Dan, I loved every part of your day and thanks a million for having me there, it was a pleasure capturing it. Here is a little taster for you…

Wedding Photography at Tunnels Beaches North Devon // Claire & Matt

Claire and Matt’s wedding at Tunnels Beaches was picture book perfect. I think it was the last day of summer as I feel the summer rainy season started shortly after…In fact, the weekend after when I camped nearby to make a weekend out of it! At least Sunday was nice and we walked a big part of the North Devon coast path enjoying the stunning views. I love this part of Devon, so much that if it fits in my diary I always try and stay a couple of days. It’s a nice change to Cornwall. So when Claire asked me to shoot their wedding, I got all excited although the pressure was high as she is a wedding photographer herself. It always flatters me when film makers and other photographers ask me to photograph their wedding as I know they will really appreciate my work and make the day run smoothly so I can get the shots I need….

Tunnels Beaches is the most incredible exclusive wedding venue by the sea in Devon. It is definitely one of my favourite wedding venues for photography, as the cliffs and coastline here are unique and the light is always incredible. There are plenty of backdrop opportunities for amazing portraits and facing west the sunsets are incredible. A photographer’s delight! The venue, which is an architectural beauty, sits above its own private beach, with magnificent views out to sea. You’re literally all day on or above a beach, it really is the perfect venue for a beach wedding by the sea.

If you are getting married at Tunnels Beaches, and looking for an experienced wedding photographer who specialises in natural wedding photos then contact me. I’d love to be back again and have a little excuse for a trip to North Devon!

Here is Claire and Matt’s mini preview, it was so hard to choose my favourite moments from this day as there was so many amazing moments…

Devon Wedding Photographer at Sandy Cove Hotel // Sophie & Carl

Welcome to the second part of my 2 weddings weekend in Devon. Sophie and Carl’s super stylish and relaxed vibe Sandy Cove Wedding. Sophie and Carl are such a dream couple, they are both such lovely people which me feel super welcome from the start of the day. And not just that, they are both super good looking and creative too! Sophie made all the stunning sea themed decorations herself including the cake topping. My jaw was dropping in awe when she told me, they just looked so fantastic and unique, something I haven’t seen before! She even illustrated the table seating plan, absolutely inspiring…

And then there is her most gorgeous wedding dress and the accessories, so beautiful…

So yes, I was excited from the start as I knew this is going to be a great day to capture. It was my first time at Sandy Cove Hotel. I heard and have seen a lot about this North Devon cliff top venue and couldn't wait to finally shoot a wedding there myself. Sophie and Carl had an outdoor ceremony on the hotel’s cliff top space overlooking the beautiful Nort Devon coast. What a place to say ‘I do’.

After the ceremony we ventured to Broadbands Beach. A 5 minute woodland walk from the hotel this picturesque beach is secluded and has been voted number 3 in Britain’s best secret beaches. An area of outstanding natural beauty for a reason and well worth the over 200 steps down (and back up!). Quite a few wedding guests followed us as they couldn’t resist a trip to this jewel of North Devon beaches. Sophie’s brother played the mouth organ and everyone enjoyed some drinks and a stroll on the sandy beach before climbing back up for the wedding breakfast. It was time for me to leave, sadly they had only booked me for a half day package.

I hope you enjoy the images as much as I did capturing them. I hope I will be back at the stunning venue soon.

Please contact me for availability and prices if you are planning to get married at Sandy Cove or anywhere else in North Devon. I take bookings for 2024 now.
