Tredudwell Cornwall festive Winter Wedding - Emma & Lee

THE VENUE

Emma and Lee tied the knot with a festive winter wedding at Tredudwell Manor in Cornwall. This stunning venue was on my bucket list for a while and I’m pleased that I finally had the opportunity to shoot a wedding there. The stunning Queen Anne Manor house dated 1705 was entirely renovated keeping most of it’s features. With acres of land and views over cornish hills it is a hidden gem on the beautiful south coast not far from Looe.

THE DAY

It was an overcast day and drizzled on the way there and I was slightly worried about the lack of light this time of year especially on a rainy day, but the rain stopped just after the ceremony and we could venture outside for some photos. While the guests kept busy drinking Gin from the mobile Gin bar. The styling was kept simple with green leaves, pine cones and recycled Gin bottles as candle holders and centrepieces.

The couples son Seb kept entertaining everyone with his unique charm. During the ceremony he thought it was his job providing his parents with chocolates given to him by grandma and later in the day he even had his part to say or ‘sing’ in the speeches!

Thanks to the steady flow of alcohol the dance floor filled up soon and I’m sure one of the bridesmaids didn’t remember all that much the next day ;-)

Emma and Lee, thanks again for having me photograph your truly wonderful day. Here is a small collection for you. I hope you like the images as much as I do and I’m pleased to tell you your USB is in the post to arrive in time for Christmas x

A perfect day at Prussia Cove in moody cornish light..

Congratulations Zoe & Dave! It would have been better with some sunshine, but I kind of liked the moody cornish light down at Prussia Cove. What a stunning venue tucked away on the end of the road set on top of the cliffs! 

The DIY/ vintage themed decoration was a pleasure for the eye to capture especially with the beautiful flowers mixed in from the talented George Mackay. 

My highlight was the cake judging and the open mic night. Dave and Zoe love music and Dave has his own band, so I wasn't surprise that the open mic night was a great joy to listen to and really got everyone involved singing along creating a great atmosphere. I didn't want to leave I enjoyed it so much! Who needs festivals when you can work at weddings ;-) 

I really struggled to make a small selection, but here you go, just a few of the highlights..

Congratulations Jasmine & Richard at Pengenna Manor, Cornwall

Jasmine and Richard celebrated their big day at Pengenna Manor, a beautiful grand country house  tucked away in quiet secluded valley on the north cornish coast. When I met them for their pre wedding consultation I was honestly a bit worried about the unreliable cornish weather when they told me all their outdoor focused wedding plans. But it all came together on this hot blue sky mid summer's day.

The decorations were a feast for the eye including origami paper folding cake decoration, DIY bunting and a woodland walk framed with the couple's pictures..Everything had such a personal touch to it and reflected their vibrant personality. 

I'm so pleased their outdoor wedding dream came true. Such a nice colourful mix of people having fun with garden games (the giant Jenga is always my favourite, especially when it finally collapses!), an outdoor bar/sweets bar, outdoor Photo Booth and a surprise ice-cream trike to name just a few.. the wedding breakfast was in laid back picnic style andRichards dance off just after the first dance made me cry out loud from laughing, I'm sure they had a great night after I left..

Here is a collection of my favourite shots from the day..

Congratulations Charlotte & John @The Escot Estate, Devon

Charlie and John are a lovely couple and I felt honoured when they asked me to be their wedding photographer through a recommendation. They were blessed with beautiful weather and after a church ceremony at Ottery St Mary we went to the beautiful Escot House for the  wedding reception. They didn't just choose an ordinary transport, but instead were driven in a stylish 1961 Jaguar Mark IX with red leather interior, perfect for some great shots! Here is one of them on the way to the venue..more coming very soon..

a few more from the day caught my eye while I was editing..

Niels & Harriet's wedding @Huntsham Court, Devon

What can I say! Niels and Harriet celebrated their special day in style at Huntsham Court in Devon. The stunning mansion is situated in the beautiful Devon countryside on the border of Exmoor National Park. It's always a great pleasure shooting at a stunning location like this. With it's  5 acres of private gardens surrounded by rolling countryside there are plenty of photo opportunities!

The speeches were epic and I loved the beef carving outfits! My highlight was the first dance with The Rebel Party Band absolutely rocking the night away... I wished I could have stayed a bit longer to get my rusty dancing legs swinging again!
