Post Wedding Photography Watergate Bay // John & Caroline

A couple of weeks ago I met John and Caroline at Watergate Bay hotel for some photos after their registry office ceremony in Truro. They wanted to keep their wedding personal and intimate, so they booked a luxury escape with their three teenage children and adorable dog Betty at the fabulous Watergate Bay hotel. I met them early afternoon for some family portraits on the beach.

What a beautiful and fun family to work with! Here is a little taster…

Family Photography Cornwall // Watergate Bay

I recently met the Stokes for a family photo session at Watergate Bay. They broke da mini break at the Watergate Bay hotel and Helen approached me a while back that she wanted to surprise her husband with a family photography session for his 40th birthday. We got so lucky with a warm sunny evening and some stunning light. I had so much fun with this session, it was all about play, run, spotting dolphins (well trying to) and splashing in the sea, a family day on the beach captured in a documentary style to produce natural portraits. So here you go, just a small selection of my favourites…

Family Photography Watergate Bay Cornwall

We had some lovely sunny autumn days here in Cornwall recently. Rebecca contacted me a while ago tp photograph their family during their stay at Watergate Bay in Cornwall. It was her mum’s birthday weekend and together with her sister’s family they stayed at Watergate Bay hotel to celebrate. Rebecca wanted make a photo album with family photos for her mum’s birthday present. I think its such a great idea!

So we ventured to on the beach on a sunny day to take some natural family portraits. They had so much fun playing around in the rock pools, I just quietly observed and took some candid shots. What a lovely family!

Here are a few of my favourites from the session.

Daisy&Alan's intimate winter wedding @Watergate Bay

Daisy and Alan were married on the 27th of February at Watergate Bay Hotel. They had an intimate small wedding ceremony and lunch. There was heavy rain forecast from 3pm onwards and I was pleased it was still dry when I drove there around 12pm. With the ceremony scheduled for 1pm it should leave us enough time for some couple shots down the beach...well, that was the plan. However, we were all restlessly waiting for the bride..it turned out the taxi firm got the pick up time confused and thought they supposed to pick Daisy up at 1.20pm instead of 12.20pm. One of her bridesmaids picked her up in the end, but only to find out her sisters were still missing with no reception on their phones, so nobody could reach them! A very stressful start of the day, but everyone arrived at Watergate Bay Hotel 1 hour later than planned and the rest of the afternoon went to plan. Our photo shoot on the beach had to be shortened to 10 minutes as it started raining heavy, but we took a few more shots in the hotel and I'm quite pleased with the results considering the time we had. Alan & Daisy are a lovely couple to work with and their deep bond to each other really reflects in the images. What a lovely, intimate wedding! I only stayed with them for a few hours, but I'm sure they had a fantastic evening reception...
