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.

Jenny & Kelvin's Winter Wonderland Wedding at The Green Cornwall

I've never seen so much snow in Cornwall! We started green and during half an hour while we were inside for the ceremony the whole place was transformed into a beautiful winter wonderland! I was half expecting it with the news reporting it would snow as the beastfromtheeast was fast approaching, but I never thought I would get stuck there for the night. Well I think it's worth it looking at the images and I guess there is worse places to get stuck than at a white wedding at The Green in Cornwall.. I have now nearly finished editing and I'm pleased to share this very special day with you..

Congratulations Jenny & Kelvin! x

Debbie & Simon's sunny crisp winter wedding at The Green Cornwall

I'm always amazed how different the woodland by the Green looks throughout the year. It's one of my most visited venues and I love witnessing the change of season there, it always looks good on the photos! Debbie & Simon tied the knot there on the 24th of February on a sunny and crisp winter's day. In fact, the weather for their wedding day in Cornwall was the best it's been since a while down here! Lucky guys! They celebrated with just a small circle of friends and family and the day had a lovely relaxed and intimate feel to it. 

Their two lovely spaniels were given the task of 'Ring Security' for the day and they've done a great job. During the couple portraits they were chasing up and down the woodland truly enjoying themselves. Ok, maybe it would have been better if they wouldn't have jumped into the pond, probably the muddiest place on the grounds... Ah well at least it was after the ceremony! 

After the photoshoot, they were called into the Red Brick Barn to enjoy their wedding breakfast listening to the talented Kaj playing an acoustic set.

I was only booked for 2.5 hours, but captured a lovely collection of the day. Here is a small preview..

Laura & James rainy wedding in St Ives, Cornwall

It rained all day on Jame's and Laura's wedding day in St Ives, Cornwall in late november.  However it didn't stop us venturing down the Porthminster beach for some couple portraits equipped with umbrellas and several rain protectors including some waterproof walking trousers for my camera gear. Congratulations Laura & James! Thanks for being so easy going and making these portraits possible.. More from this wedding coming very soon..

Congratulations Erika & Rewan @The Alverton Hotel, Truro, Cornwall

Erika and Rewan were married at The Alverton Hotel in Truro, Cornwall, on the 19th of march. Their wedding was just one week before easter and had a lovely easter/spring theme running through the decorations. It was the coldest and only overcast day of a good run of sunny spring weather, which was a shame for the portraits. However, I'm pleased with the results and respect to Erika who braved the cold in her wedding dress! I even found some daffodils in the hotels gardens to frame a shot and incorporate the easter theme. Here are some of my favourites from our portrait shoot...

Congratulations Danielle & Sean @The Green, Cornwall

Danielle and Sean had a very intimate winter wedding at The Green, Cornwall with just their closest friends and family. I only stayed with them for 4 hours. It was such a lovely relaxed wedding day and I felt very welcomed by everyone. I even practised my German with some of Danielle's family members, who lived in Germany for a few years. I've posted some of my favourite shots on my facebook page
