Wedding Photographer Mount Pleasant Eco Park Cornwall // Abby & Liam

Abby and Liam’s relaxed style wedding at Mount Pleasant Eco Park was amazing! They wanted a chilled laid back wedding venue who could also serve amazing vegan food, which didn’t turn out an easy task, and they have found just the right place for it!

Here is what Abby says about the Eco Park and Cornwall: ‘When we first got engaged in December 2020, we searched high and low for the perfect venue in our area, however they all fell short when it came to one thing… the food. I always knew I wanted a menu with the yummiest vegan options, but unfortunately lots of venues really struggled to meet our expectations. I’ve been a vegan for the past 4 years and Liam a vegetarian for 3 years, so this was something that was really important to us, not only the flavours, but the values that came with food creation and cooking. When we were about to give up, I stumbled across the Eco park online and after visiting them a few weeks later we had fallen in love with not only the food, but the beautiful venue. Cornwall has always held a special place in my (Abby’s) heart as my brother and I used to stay with our Gran in Cornwall every year during the summer holidays. Not only does it have some of the most amazing views, beaches and landscapes but the people and communities are the most relaxed, friendly and easy going, something we vibed with straight away!

With a sunny day and lots of garden games entertaining their guests it was one of the best laid back days I have photographed recently. And preferring a plant based diet these days, I had a delicious treat cooked up by the awesome team from the Canteen, thanks again guys for looking after me!

I met Abby and the bride clan for bridal prep photos at their accommodation in Porth, literally on Porth beach. Abby had the prime seat there with stunning beach views whilst she had her makeup and hair done. She got picked up in a shiny VW T1better known as ‘Honey’ from Honeybugs Cornwall to make her way down to Porthtowan. I love a wedding car or van and don’t see them that often anymore as a lot of people get married at wedding venues where everything is in one place and there is no need for transport. So I’m even more excited when I finally get the opportunity to take photos with the couple and their vehicle of choice!

The speeches, oh man, so emotional, Liam just couldn’t hold back his tears! So sweet, I love photographing a good speech exactly out of this reason, capturing pure emotions of you and your guests, my passion…

Liam and Abby’s highlights of the day: ‘The speeches. There was a lot of emotion and not a dry eye in the house! Each speech was truly heart felt and pained a beautiful picture of how the day came to be. 

The food was absolutely incredible, better than we could ever have imagined! We had a mix of Mexican and Caribbean street food and it did not disappoint! ‘

Micro Wedding Photography Porthtowan Cornwall // Robyn + Amy

Robyn and Amy asked me if I could take some photos of them after their registry office ceremony on their favourite cornish beach, Porthtowan. They weren’t too fussed about having their ceremony photographed but rather wanted a couple of hours with me taking some relaxed photos of them and their friends on the beach afterwards.

I was a bit worried how it would turn out as the day started rather stormy with no breaks in the rain in sight. I ventured down anyway, finding shelter at the Blue Bar. I was waiting for them half an hour loosing hope they would turn up. When they finally arrived they told me they had some problems at the registry office. I guess the slight delay was meant to be as the clouds broke and the sun came out for an hour, just in time for our photo session! And how beautiful is the light just before or after rain, especially in autumn!

What a pleasure to meet you, Amy and Robyn! You and your gang were absolute stars and I had a great time documenting a brief time of your very special day…champagne was flowing en masse, I’m sure you enjoyed your wedding meal, ha, ha!
