Cornwall Wedding Photography Kehelland Trust // Dan & Imogen

I don’t know where to begin here, Dan and Imogen’s Cornwall wedding ticked all the boxes for a fun filled intimate day and I feel privileged to have been there to capture it all.

Imogen got ready at a holiday rental right next to her mum’s house in the countryside near St Ives. A super relaxed morning and great to work with Ro Hair and Georgina Yates again, it has been a while. We then ventured to St Uny Church in Lelant for the ceremony. Such a lovely church sitting beside the Hayle estuary. After the ceremony we headed to Kehelland Trust for the reception with a mini stopover at Godrevy. It’s the place where they got engaged! Sadly it was overcast but we still made the most of it, at least it wasn't as busy as a sunny day and we could park super close to the beach. Time was an issue as Dan and Imogen didn’t want their guests waiting for them too long before they arrive at the reception location…

It was my first time at Kehelland, a barn venue with a true rustic and DIY feel to it. Imogen’s brother made the most delicious gluten free cake and and the rings were made by their dear friend Justin incorporating sand from Godrevy beach! I just love little details like that which makes a wedding so personal… Dan and Imogen’s guests were a great bunch and everyone made me feel so welcome. I got right in the middle of the Ceilidh action and I think it’s one of my favourite parts of the day to capture, Ceilidhs are just so much fun and get everyone on the dancefloor, always. But reflecting back there were so many great moments, I really struggled choosing less than 100 images for this little teaser. The 2024 wedding season is just amazing so far, one cracker after another… Roll on June, my busiest month this summer!

For now, just a few from this fantastic day with Imogen and Dan

Wedding Photography at The Green Cornwall // Iona & Peter

Iona and Peter said ‘I do’at The Green Cornwall. I always lie coming here, it’s so relaxed when you turn into he drive covered by old one trees, you just feel like you’re miles away from everything. With it’s own woodland walk and rustic barn it is always a pleasure to photograph weddings here. And I walkways find new angles even after years visiting this place!

I wanted to show Iona and Peter a mini preview before I have a well deserved break in my camper van for the first 3 weeks in October. So I won’t be saying much about this wedding and prepare a proper write up once back from my trip.

All I can say, thanks for trusting me to photograph your beautiful day, Iona and Peter and for bringing your gorgeous German Shepard ‘Loki’ along with you…I love dogs at weddings especially when they are as handsome as ‘Loki’…

I hope you like your little preview…

Wedding Photographer at The Green Cornwall // Faith & Jack

This epic wedding at The Green in Cornwall was a fun filled blast from start to finish. Including a stunning decor inspired by the couple’s favourite movie classics, wedding rings made by their talented friend Jo Mathan, archery, garden games, limbo dancing and granddad being the star of the dance floor! I really enjoyed being Faith and Jack’s wedding photographer, they are such a lovely pair and Faith, words can’t describe what a beautiful person she is, a true angel and the most amazing bride. I’m so excited to show you a little preview of the day and I really struggled to just choose a few of my favourite moments captured as there were so many…

The Green Cornwall is one of my most visited venues in Cornwall and I always love photographing weddings here. People ask me if I get tired working at the same venue, my answer is no as every wedding is so different and every couple’s story is a new one to tell…So here you have a glimpse of Faith and Jack’s wedding day, I hope you enjoy what you see…

Devon Wedding Photographer for Rustic Barn Wedding // Nat & Luke

I loved capturing this DIY wedding filled with personality. Nat and Luke worked for weeks clearing and cleaning their auntie’s horse barn for their super special rustic barn wedding near Exeter. And they have done an amazing job, the result looked stunning! I love a rustic DIY wedding, especially if it’s in a cosy barn overlooking some beautiful countryside. Not sure what the shire horses thought about everyone partying in their cosy home…

Speeches, speeches, speeches, I love capturing them. And these were insanely good speeches, especially when Luke’s dad starting singing and they really didn’t want him too!. And a party it was, with a free bar flowing all day the dancing started early and I loved being amongst such a good vibe, if I would have brought my van along I probably would have stayed for the night…

Here is a small selection of Nat & Luke’s epic day, I hope you like it.

Wedding Photography at The Green Cornwall // Phoebe & Chris

I can’t believe I finally get to post a preview of Chris & Phoebe’s epic wedding at The Green Cornwall!!

I want to take the opportunity to apologise to all my recent couples who wait for their galleries. This year has been two seasons in one for me and many other wedding suppliers. With shifting nearly twice as many weddings this season there I haven’t been abe to spend as much time on my desk and therefore the editing is delayed. When it comes to delivering your images I’m a perfectionist and can’t rush things and let the quality slip. After all you will hopefully treasure these photos for a lifetime so waiting a few weeks longer will be with it!

So a huge thanks to all my couples to be so patient and understanding. I’m dong my best to work my way through the images and I can’t help a little smile here or there reliving beautiful moments whilst I’m editing…

Phoebe and Chris got married on the … of July. What an epic day! We’re talking garden games, a magician, great music, a fantastic venue and a great bunch of people to add the right amount of good vibes and fun. Phoebe’s family is greek and believe me they know how to party, there were plenty of shots going around during the speeches. I spend my childhood and early teenage years in Greece during summer holidays as we had a house there and we were quite often invited to greek weddings and parties. Oh I remember the delicious food , Ouzos, the warm mediterranean sea and late summer evenings!

I’m always looking forward to Kaj Music playing as he seems to get the danceflloor going with no exception.

So here we go, enough said, I let the photos do the talking and need to get back to the editing…

Cornwall Wedding Photographer at Nancarrow Farm // Ben & Jenny

There would be too many words to describe Nancarrow Farm, I absolutely love this place, one of my top 3 wedding venues in Cornwall! It’s not just around the corner from where I live, that’s always a bonus, it is more than my words can describe it, truly awesome, fabulous, lovely, superb, cracking and so much more… and tucked away in a green valley near Truro, it’s always sunny there or at least warmer than anywhere else in Cornwall. The staff are lovely and organised, the venue is beautifully rustic one of a kind and the food is divine.

Ben and Jenny’s day day started with the girls getting ready at Nancarrow’s bridal suite and finished with everyone going off on the dance floor to Fistral Stereo’s fine tunes covered in glitter. When I came home my partner asked me if I really have been at work or partying as my face was covered in it…

Jenny’s dress was so gorgeous! Her friend Amy designed it, she has her own fashion and bespoke bridal dress label ‘Fleetwood of London’, have a look at her designs, they are amazing! She also made the bridesmaid dresses herself, love the detail and the colours went so well with the venue. Her sister Sophie Higginson is a super talented Makeup Artist, so we had a dream team at work. Jenny is truly blessed to have such talented friends along with her at her wedding, gorgeousness overload!

And did I mention that we had a very special guest that day and I didn’t realise till later on? Not sure what goes on in my head when I’m in the creative zone! Jeremy Corbyn and his wife were amongst the guests, I guess that doesn’t happen every day…Well when the groom works for him, then it does…

Ben and Jenny, it was such a privilege to be part of your perfect day with such a lovely bunch of people. Here is a sneak peek, I hope you like what you see. Not long now until I can send you the rest of the images, promised…

Hannah & Joel // a summer wedding The Green Cornwall

Oh so gorgeous, this wedding at The Green in Cornwall! The weather, the insanely good looking couple, a lovely bunch of friends and family, stylish decorations, tears and laughter during the speeches and to top its all, my first ever ceremony I photographed in the Rustic Barn. I have photographed weddings at The Green since years but never had the opportunity, so here we go finally! I’m just slightly sad I couldn’t make it a full set as they have only booked me until the speeches. I would have loved to capture the dance images for this one, but hey..

Hannah and Joel, you are the most wonderful couple, anyone can see how deeply in love you are and it was just such a magical day. Thank you for having me along to tell your story. xxx

Nat & Terry // Wedding Photography at The Green Cornwall

Nat and Terry wedding at The Green Cornwall back in may was simply awesome and positive vibes were running throughout the day. The kids were enjoying the space and garden games and were running riot all day. Everyone else mingled in between bar and outdoors, enjoying the good weather, even though a bit breezy at times. Nat and Terry were just so relaxed and just themselves on our couple portrait walk through the woods, it always helps when couples can just be themselves and have fun during the shoot, and saying that, most people enjoy a little time for themselves away from the hustle of the wedding. Well, with me being there somewhere hiding in the bushes to get the shots!

The evening started promising with the Motown Pirates playing some funky tunes and filling the dancefloor rapidly and old and young alike throwing shapes.

A day when everything just ran smoothly apart from Harry, their little terrier, eating my sandwich out of my camera bag during the bridal preparations. I thought I was going mad, I looked everywhere for it! Well at least I got to enjoy the delicious food prepared by the talented caterers of The Green later in the day.

Another fantastic day I had the honour of photographing and it was just so good that I yet again couldn’t make a smaller selection of my favourites. So here you go, a rather large preview.

Becky & Jonathan // Trevenna Barns Wedding Photography

It’s always a bonus when the sun comes out for a winter wedding, well it’s late winter and in recent years I had more sunny weddings in March than in August here in Cornwall. And it’s extra special as it was my first outdoor ceremony this year! Becky and Jon, you were so lucky, what a day for your winter wedding at Trevenna Barns in Cornwall…

I was only hired for half of it, so ca 5 hours and must admit I was sad to not get the whole story for this one covered!

Here are a few of my favourites. I hope you like them…

A stylish Cornwall Wedding at The Green // Becca & Mike

Genuinely... I don't even know where to begin... SUCH A GREAT DAY EVEN THOUGH IT RAINED!  It was typical Cornish drizzle for one day sandwiched between sunny days of a fantastic heatwave summer. But it didn't stop Becca and Mike from having the best day of their life. 

THE VENUE

Tucked away in a green valley on the edges of Bodmin Moor The Green just stays one of my favourite venues to photograph at. I have been photographing weddings there since years and every time I drive to the venue through this beautiful moorland landscape, dodging sheep running across the road, I feel relaxed and excited about the day. And set in it's own beautiful woodland grounds it offers plenty of photo opportunities.

THE WEDDING DAY

Becca was collecting ideas for the decoration for ages on pinterest and her friends and family helped her putting it all together for the 'big day'. She even painted all the name tags (hexagonal tiles) herself. I must say it was one of the most stylish DIY weddings I have seen in a long time, just beautiful!

It was a shame it rained but gladly by late afternoon we found a gap in the drizzle and ventured out for a walk in the woodland grounds for some photos. I'm not sure if it was the rain, but the alcohol was flowing fast and by the time Kay started the music, the dance floor was soon filled with everyone dancing the night away.

Anyway I think I'm going to let these highlights do the rest of the talking but I do just have to say Becca & Mike what an honour and pleasure it was to spend a the day with you and your friends and family and to share a small part of your incredible love story.  Thank you. 

And I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon to Canada and Alaska! Your photos went in the post this morning and should be with you this week. Here is a little preview..
