Wedding Photography Sandycove North Devon // Rachel & Mandeep

This spot of coast is just divine. I love the North Devon Coastline, so much that I made a ling weekend out of it. I stayed on a campsite literally 15 minute walk from the hotel. A stunning walk through the clifftop woodland and enjoyed a swim in the same cove I took this gorgeous couple for photos the next day.

Rachel and Mandeep said ‘I do’ at Sandycove Hotel with a whole lot of good friends and family. Such a colourful and amazing day to capture!

Here is a little preview for you, I hope you like it as much as I did capturing this stunning wedding. I love my job!

Dan & Harrie // Wedding Photographer at Caerhays Estate - The Lookout

Dan and Harrie opted a for a small family affair at the stunning Caerhays Estate Weddings - The Lookout. Not so much a coastal lookout when we first arrived in the Cornish Mist, you couldn’t even see the sea! I was a bit disappointed to be honest as it was my first time shooting a wedding there and I was a long time looking forward to this one. Magically not long after the ceremony the mist disappeared and we even had a few glimpses of sunshine which made this beautiful stretch of coast even more dramatic in a way. What a stunning micro wedding to play a part in. Here is just a small taster of the day

Aimee & Matt's Beach Wedding at the 'Cornish Riviera' St Ives

I have been traveling a lot over the years, but when it all comes together and we get a heatwave here in Cornwall, it is one of the most stunning coastline in the world! Especially down in St ives, I call it the 'Cornish Riviera' with white sand beaches and turquoise seas, just breathtaking.

Aimee and Matt tied the knot at St Ives Harbour Hotel on the 9th of June. It was one of those scorching sunny days, picture perfect! Aimee's friend Aimee Florence did her makeup, I shot her beautiful vintage inspired DIY style wedding a few years back. It's lovely to meet her and Lewis again, now a little family with cute Elenor...The yummy wedding cake was also provided by Aimee Florence's mum's tearoom in Helston, the 'twistedcurrant'. If you're ever down that way make sure to plan a stopover, the cakes are all homemade and mouthwatering!

Unfortunately Aimee's dad passed away when she was very young but she had a picture of him attached to her bridal bouquet so he could be with her on her special day, a lovely detail!

Even though a hotel wedding the day had a nice relaxed vibe to it and everyone was enjoying the sunny day on the  hotel's terrace or for a walk down to Porthminster beach.

Sit back and relax and get into holiday mood looking through a collection of my favourites from this summery day on the 'Cornish Riviera'

Debbie & Tom's Intimate Summery Elopement at Lowerbarns in Cornwall

I was meaning to post this beautiful summery elopement since ages! My workload didn't allow me to update my blog with all the stunning weddings I shot this season, but I finally can make a start with the posting.

Debbie and Tom eloped to Cornwall late august on a beautiful sunny late summer's day at lower barns boutique bed and breakfast. They only brought their parents, their little daughter and beautiful greyhound with them to celebrate their special day in an intimate circle. It couldn't have been a more summery day, so we decided to make the most out of it and ventured down the beach for some couple portraits. Unfortunately the tide was so high that there wasn't much beach left and the few square meters of sand were filled with tourists, so not the ideal scenario for a photoshoot. I knew how much Debbie and Tom wanted some coastal photos though, so we improvised. It was a bit of a walk up the cliff path to get to the field overlooking the beach and we had to avoid some sheep poo, but it was worth it! 

And to make the day even better, their daughter picked me a little wild flower bouquet to take home with me! What a sweet, personal day to capture, one I will definitely always remember..

Talking about flowers, the wedding flowers provided by the talented Marie Owen from This Rugged Coast were absolutely beautiful!! One of my favourites this year..

Leigh & Karl's elegant wedding in Talland Bay Hotel, Cornwall

Leigh and Karl were married on the 5th of November in Talland Bay Hotel near Looe in Cornwall. They've chosen the boutique hotel as they love to spend their holidays here. When I arrived at the hotel eralier in the year to meet them both for their pre wedding consultation, I immediately knew why they had fallen in love with this place! With it's eclectic style and overlooking the south cornish coast it serves as a perfect wedding venue for a smaller celebration and for a photographer it really has a wow factor, wherever you look there are some new features to discover and photograph. They were blessed with a beautiful sunny late autumn day and I'm pleased we could take most of the portrait shots in the hotel's stunning gardens overlooking the sea. The speeches were great and made me laugh out loud at times, especially when Karl received his best man's present, a portrait of Karl edited into a James Bond poster printed on canvas. Someone showed off their photoshop skills here! The hotel has a nice intimate and calm ambience to it and the meal was delicious to say the least, not a surprise for an award winning chef! Thanks again for looking after me.

Here is a collection of my favourites from the day. Wow and look at them wedding shoes, my favourites this year so far!
