Knightor Winery Wedding Photography // Mims & Sam

A few highlights from Mims and Sam’s wedding at Knightor Winery back in September. Bless them, it did rain all day, but it wouldn’t stop them having a great time. It shows that if you just roll with it, it really doesn’t matter as all your loved ones are under one roof having a great time with you and celebrating you! We even managed to sneak outside for some photos in some of the venue’s sheltered spots. Definitely one of my wettest days at this venue ever but nevertheless what a lovely day to capture!

Celestial Themed Winter Wedding Photography at Knightor Winery Cornwall // Rob & Anya

Rob and Anya’s winter wedding at Knightor Winery in Cornwall was so beautiful! A feast for the eyes, so much personality put in every little detail! I love seeing something different in styling and this wedding ticked all the boxes.

Rob and Anya chose the moon part of the theme first, after a quote from the film Labyrinth "I'll place the moon in your heart", then the rest of theme (colours, stars etc) came after Anya found her dress from Glitter Soup. ‘I loved the handpainted details from the Ukrainian maker, and thought having a deep moody celestial setting would suit the time of year as well.’ 

A lot of the decor was DIY'd, including stationary, signage, the candle sticks etc, or sourced within the UK. 

Flowers were all purchased from a Willow Cottage Flowers on Etsy and put together by the bride herself, with some help from Youngest Child Events for the signing table. They looked pretty amazing considering she never made a flower arrangement or bouquet before!

Rob and Anya only wanted a small cozy wedding with those closest to them. Sadly Anya’s maid of honour passed away a few months before the wedding, but she was there in spirit. Knightor is the perfect venue for a small intimate wedding like this. Making sure their guests had amazing food was one of the major plus points. Fancy marshmallows, sparklers and firepits finished the evening cozy vibe.

‘Whilst the mention of eels seems a bit random, it makes sense to Rob and I, as one of our earliest dates was at Ely Eel Festival where Rob took part in the World Eel Throwing Championship (the eels thrown were toy eels!). His magnificent throw didn't make the podium, but pretty much secured his place in my heart’

Loved the cake so much that I cried when saw it in person, and our favourite part of the day was seeing each other at the front of the aisle and reading our own vows.’

I feel honoured to have played a part in this very special day! My first wedding to capture this season and one I will remember for sure.

Knightor Winery Wedding // Elizabeth & Matt

Oh mighty, what a day it was! Elizabeth and Matt got hitched mid October at Knightor Winery. I covered the whole day and worked with Luke form ‘I do Film and Photos’ again, dream team! A day filled with fun, love, laughter, goats, pirates and two first dances…

We started with bridal preparations in the morning and also spend a little time with the guys but they weren’t so fussed about a having plenty of photos taken. I think I nearly shed a tear when Liz’ dad came into the chalet and seen his daughter in her gorgeous dress the first time. One of my favourite moments to capture!

The ceremony was held in Knightor’s barn as the day was a bit unsettled, showers and sunshine at the same time, so it was saver and warmer to say ‘I do’ inside. Gladly for the rest of the afternoon we had glorious sunshine which helped to create some stunning couple portraits throughout Knightor’s beautiful grounds. I think we nearly went in every little corner Knightor had to offer as Liz’ had seen a lot of my previous Photography at Knightor and literally wanted it all… so we did a little tour starting with a visit to Knightor’s gorgeous goats which seemed to have an obsession with her beautiful colourful bouquet!

When we got back the bridesmaids had a champagne ready to be opened which resulted in one of my favourite shots from the day, I love a good champagne spray! In the meanwhile matt and the grooms men adopted the wooden playground ship as their very own pirate’s vessel!

Andy Mitchell got the dance floor going early and Liz’ and her bride clan had a very special set planned for later in the evening, Abba time, oh yes you heard me right, Liz is a big Abba fan and I think I haven’t seen so much fun on a small dance floor in a long time. Well, Matt wasn’t really planning to join as he’s not really part of the fan club, so he had a special treat for the guys planned, Cuban cigars and plenty of rum were enjoyed in the courtyard whilst the girls were rocking the dance floor to Abba tunes.

Oh and did I mention that the two of them had 2 first dances? an official one inside and another one in the courtyard lit by fairy lights and fire pits. My personal favourite is the al fresco dancing for sure…

So here you go, I’m so excited to share with you my favourites form Elizabeth and Matt’s epic day

Wedding Photography at Knightor Winery Cornwall // Emma & Jacob

Emma and Jacob decided to have a jut a small celebration with just their closest friends at Knightor Winery. No family just friends as it was easier to keep the wedding small that way. They had booked me for 4 hours, so we decided to include getting ready images, the ceremony and some natural and posed portraits after.

So I met Emma for her bridal preparations late morning and was pleased to greet Penny Pascoe doing the makeup, she is just so lovely to work with. Emma looked stunning and had thought about every little detail including a present for her future hubby. A very special gift, it was a custom made cufflink with Jacob’s recently deceased best friend’s ashes integrated into the design, so he can be with him in spirit on his wedding day. She really wanted me to capture the surprise, a very touching moment to say the least, I almost got a bit emotional myself. A love details like this, full of thought and personal which make a wedding so much more special.

Knightor has become a second home to me, I have a set of locations there for photos which work well in all kind of light and weather situations. So here you go, a mini taster of a short coverage for a small wedding, but still telling a story within the day…and for everyone knowing me, I love a story! I hope you like it.

Knightor Winery Wedding Photography Cornwall // Claire & Andy

Claire and Andy got marred on the 24th of July at Knightor Winery with ca 40 guests, a small relaxed summer wedding in Cornwall. They were blessed with a mild day and most f the wedding was spend outside in the beautiful courtyard of Knightor. Unfortunately some of their guests couldn’t attend because they tested positive with Covid including Andy’s brother who was holding his best man’s speech via Zoom. It was extremely touching seeing all the emotion in the room during that speech! You could just tell Andy would have loved to have his brother by his side on his special day…

The Wine tasting was loved by all the guests and is always a great addition to your wedding here at knight Winery. My personal favourite is the ‘Carpe Diem’ Rosé.

Laura Kelly’s live music created a vibrant evening atmosphere in the courtyard when I left and I’m sure they had a a brilliant night.

Here you go, Claire and Andy, a small preview for you to shorten the wait for your final images…

Knightor Winery Wedding Photographer Cornwall // Tracey + Will

Tracey and Will didn’t want all the fuss of a big wedding day, they just wanted a casual, laid back day with friends and family. So they decided to get married at Knightor Winery in Cornwall. This timeless Cornish venue is set in four acres of vineyards, pasture and orchards and the granite barns give it a very special charm. They also produce some delicious Cornish Wine and offer tasting sessions if you are a wine lover. One of my favourite local venues!

Another small package for me, with just 3 hours coverage. Although again, I think we fitted a lot into the short time I was there. We even covered the speeches, which were hilarious and Tracey’s brother made a surprise appearance which made everyone crying with laughter.

A few of my favourites to follow here…
