Cornwall Wedding Photographer at St Ives Harbour Hotel // Rachel & Dan

Flying through my previews at the moment! Here is a sneak peek of Rachel and Dan’s Cornwall wedding at St Ives Harbour Hotel last month. They were blessed with a gorgeous sunny day and had an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Cornish Coast including an epic entertainment by the fab Daniel Costin sax player. What a day!

Rachel and Dan actually been together almost 23years! They started dating with 18 after meeting at work in Dan’s pub in Worcestershire, Rachel’s home town.

It took moving house, Dan turning 40 and a world pandemic for Dan to pop the question on Christmas Day in 2020. 

Rachel and Dan have always loved spending their holidays in St Ives, following Dans family tradition, so when they were looking at venues they both knew St Ives would be the perfect place to celebrate with friends and family. Here is what Rachel had to say about their day:

‘It's been lovely seeing our loved ones enjoying st ives and seeing it in all its beauty as we have done for the last 20years... we were delighted that 40 of our closest friends and family made the 300 mile trip down to St Ives (on Easter weekend!) to celebrate with us, and the sun shone for them! It was a perfect day! ‘

I’m so pleased they had their dream wedding, good things come to the who wait!

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…

If you’re planning a wedding at Knightor Winery please contact me. I’m super flexible with my packages and cover everything from elopements, micro weddings and larger celebrations.

Helen & Ed // Mount Pleasant Ecological Park Cornwall Wedding Photography

It has been a while since I photographed a wedding at Mount Pleasant Ecological Park in Porthtowan. I think at least 3 years! So much has changed since then, they have a great cafe there now with delicious locally sourced food and excellent coffees. Oh yes, a venue always gets some extra bonus points form me if there is good coffee to keep me going…

Add some sunshine, a bunch of fun friends and family, a gorgeous couple and some great suppliers and you get the perfect wedding day. Helen and Ed are keen Triathletes and it has been said that they are hardly seen without their wetsuits on. The sea means a lot to them, so we ventured to the nearby beach for some couple portraits and a paddle in the sea to cool down..

When we came back everyone enjoyed the sunshine and played garden games, a real relaxed festival style wedding kind of feel. This place is just made for a day like this kind of celebration! I would have loved to stay into the evening and see the band playing but I was only booked for half a day. So no getting ready images either, which is a shame as I always feel the story isn’t quite complete..

Helen and Ed, you were fantastic. I absolutely loved capturing your wedding day and would do it all over again any time!

Here is a rather large preview. I just couldn’t help myself to make it smaller…

Cornwall Elopement Wedding Photography at Lower Barns // Kirsty and Rich

What can I say, Rich and Kirsty really showed us how a runaway wedding is done properly! They only brought their mums, brother, a chocolate labrador and their adorable little daughter with them and didn't tell anyone at home. It officially just was a holiday in Cornwall. And when Kirsty called her dad after the ceremony to tell him they just got married there was a big 'WHAT, WOW, REALLY??' On the other end of the line. A great surprise!

They tied the knot at the fabulous Lower Barns Boutique and Breakfast on the Cornwall South Coast. The morning started unsettled with drizzle so it was a bit worrying if the sun comes out for them. But just in time during their ceremony the clouds cleared and we were blessed with scorching sunshine, ideal for a photo trip to the nearby Vault Bay.

Rich and Kirsty, I can't say enough how much I loved working with you. You have such a lovely bond for each other and your daughter is just so cute I couldn't stop taking photos of her!!!

I wish you all the best for your married life and I hope you like this little preview xxx..

Cornwall Wedding Photography at Roscarrock Farm // Mat & Kate

It was an absolute honour when Mat asked me to photograph his wedding. He is a talented photographer himself and I always admired his work. In recent years he started Hailer Media, a marketing consulting agency in the heart of Cornwall. Have a look, some great stuff there!

So what do you get if you cross a talented photographer with a gorgeous blonde teacher and their cutest little son with a cherry picked selection of the best suppliers in the cornwall wedding business plus one of the most stunning wedding venues Cornwall has to offer? You get Kate and Mat's picture prefect wedding at Roscarrock Farm near Port Isaac. A day filled with friends, laughter, good vibes and love.

Roscarrock is a farm with walled gardens overlooking the beautiful cornish north coast. A spectacular setting which has been used for TV and Film productions before. Roscarrock was Nampara in the original series of Poldark, Winston Graham was said to have written the books based on Roscarrock. It was my first time there and I love it! It feels feel like you are at a country house summer party.

To top it all off, the day was blessed with beautiful blue skies and sunshine. I was only booked for the ceremony and the afternoon and left just after the space hopper football game, but I wish I could have stayed on as it looked like there was an awesome party on the way! Well at least I got to taste some of Ben's (Woodfired Canteen) super delicious food on the way home...

Here is a little taster for you, Mat & Kate! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did shooting your your absolute corker of a day!
