Debbie & Rob's stylish country Wedding at Trevenna Barns in Cornwall

We were blessed with beautiful scorching sunshine over the last few weeks here in Cornwall and for Debbie and Rob the temperatures seemed to reach their max, it was 32 degrees in the bridal suit during the preparation shots. I was impressed the makeup stayed on ;-)

Debbie did a beautiful job decorating everything with great attention to detail. I loved the dreamcatchers, pastel colours and the fabric ribbons were swaying in the wind framing the back of the oak arbour were they held their outdoor ceremony. The dress had her name stitched on the inside ('something blue') and the wedding cake was just amazing, Debbie & Rob with their camper van and 2 little dogs. Shame I couldn't meet their pooches as they didn't come along..well at least there was a good copy of them on the cake!

It was the happiest of days... family, friends, laughter, music, smiles and dancing... lots of dancing.  Jessica and the Rabbits were playing funky tunes and it didn't matter what age, everyone was found on the dance floor at some point even though it was slightly too hot to move!

Debbie & Rob... it was simply wonderful.  You and all your friends and family were so much fun and so damn lovely.  Congratulations yet again and I hope you enjoy this small selection of previews.. not long now until you see the whole collection xx

Aimee & Matt's Beach Wedding at the 'Cornish Riviera' St Ives

I have been traveling a lot over the years, but when it all comes together and we get a heatwave here in Cornwall, it is one of the most stunning coastline in the world! Especially down in St ives, I call it the 'Cornish Riviera' with white sand beaches and turquoise seas, just breathtaking.

Aimee and Matt tied the knot at St Ives Harbour Hotel on the 9th of June. It was one of those scorching sunny days, picture perfect! Aimee's friend Aimee Florence did her makeup, I shot her beautiful vintage inspired DIY style wedding a few years back. It's lovely to meet her and Lewis again, now a little family with cute Elenor...The yummy wedding cake was also provided by Aimee Florence's mum's tearoom in Helston, the 'twistedcurrant'. If you're ever down that way make sure to plan a stopover, the cakes are all homemade and mouthwatering!

Unfortunately Aimee's dad passed away when she was very young but she had a picture of him attached to her bridal bouquet so he could be with her on her special day, a lovely detail!

Even though a hotel wedding the day had a nice relaxed vibe to it and everyone was enjoying the sunny day on the  hotel's terrace or for a walk down to Porthminster beach.

Sit back and relax and get into holiday mood looking through a collection of my favourites from this summery day on the 'Cornish Riviera'

Claire & Mike's rustic Nancarrow Farm Wedding in Cornwall

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I feel I need to write a bit and try to describe this cracker of a day. Firstly, if you’re thinking of planning a country wedding and have a passion for rustic and vintage then look no further than Nancarrow Farm in Cornwall. And did I mention the overly delicious food all locally sourced from the farm and mainly cooked over open fire? I went to a few of their famous Nancarrow Feast nights and hardly ever tasted such delicious meat cooked to perfection! 

Mike and Claire got hitched at this incredible venue on a roasting hot June day. I’m pretty certain that I can speak for everyone there when I say that their wedding was flawless and buzzing with happy summery vibes from start to finish.

Claire had the old rustic barn decorated with a beautiful flower arch and vintage milk cans filled with stunning blossoms provided by the talented George Mackay and the rest of the venue's flowers (tables, buttonholes, bouquets) were selected by Mike's mum. 

Joe Hurworth got everyone rocking the wedding during the Cocktail Happy hour early evening..I felt me feet tapping to the funky tunes a few times and one particular younger guest couldn't stop dancing and impressing everyone around him with his funky moves..

I also am sure I can speak for Claire and Mike when I say that if they had the opportunity to do it all again, they would. And so would I, I felt just like a friend photographing their wedding and enjoyed every part of it!

I’d now like to invite you to get comfy and look through their pictures – I hope you enjoy re-living their utterly fantastic day..

Faye & Evan's beach themed wedding at Gwel an Mor Resort Cornwall

Faye and Evan tied the knot in a yurt at the fabulous luxury resort Gwel an Mor in Portreath on the cornish coast. Faye and Evan live in Bristol, so not far from Cornwall, and as they both love the sea, they even started to surf not long ago, it was an easy decision to make to get married near the stunning cornish coast.

Their wedding date was little special as it was coinciding with the Royal Wedding, Saturday the 19th of May. The girls had the Royal Wedding live on TV while they were getting ready. And when Meghan walked down the isle, the emotional level was high and some tears were shed by one of the bridesmaids. There was a big question raised wether she was crying for the Royal Wedding or for Faye's? 

Faye had a surprise present for her dad and it was lovely to see he enjoyed his new watch!

The day was blessed with beautiful sunshine so everyone was enjoying the relaxed summery vibe in the courtyard after the wedding. After the speeches Faye, Evan and I ventured down to Portreath beach for some couple portraits. 

The wedding cake had a lovely personal touch to it with a hint to Evan's love for fancy dress.. And the bottom of a retired surfboard with some beautiful artwork by a local illustrator served as 'guestbook' .

There was some great dance moves to be witnessed straight after the first dance and I'm sure they had a good party after I left.

Here is a collection of my favourites..

Denise & Michael's summery Beach Wedding at Lusty Glaze Cornwall

Denise and Michael certainly done something right as they were blessed with the most gorgeous sunny day for their wedding at Lusty Glaze. Their dream was to have a relaxed beach vibe wedding with their friends and family. The day couldn't have been any better for it, sandwiched between really cold showery days for this time of year here in Cornwall, it was a scorching summery day, even staying warm well into the evening. I'm so pleased for them! Everyone enjoyed the beach vibe lifestyle and were well up for the beach games and a dip in the sea. I'm sure I've seen some sun burnt faces and shoulders around sunset time. 

The sun was high in the sky for our first set of couple portraits, so we ventured out in the golden light of the evening to take some more gorgeous shots on the beach. Lusty Glaze was voted beach wedding venue of the year in 2017 and they well deserve it! One of my favourite venues in Cornwall, the staff are relaxed and super friendly and the little cove offers endless photo opportunities right on your doorstep. 

I couldn't make a small preview as there are so many nice shots from this glorious day tp choose from and I'm really bad at making decisions! So here you go, a rather large selection of my favourites..

Rachel & Wayne's sunny countryside wedding at Kilminorth Cottages

Rachel and Wayne married on a beautiful warm and sunny spring day at Kilminorth Cottages near Looe in Cornwall. It was one of the venues on my bucket list and I was really excited for this day when I drove down this secluded green valley. It didn't disappoint: the stylish refurbished cornish cottages are tucked away in acres of Cornish woodland not far from the stunning harbour villages of Looe and Polperro. There were photo opportunities a plenty with woodland and fields and beautiful landscaped walk way to the marquee area.

Rachel and Wayne's dream was an outdoor ceremony and I'm pleased the weather played the part. Garden games were entertaining the guests and the children had fun with the giant trampoline and tree swing. A picture perfect day for a relaxed wedding in the cornish countryside. 

The alcohol was flowing fast and with some great funk and soul tunes by Jessica and the Rabbits the dance floor was soon filled with some funky moves..

Here is a small preview of the day..

Frances & Ian's relaxed vibe spring wedding at The Green Cornwall

Such a pleasure to be able to share Frances and Ian's early spring wedding with you. It is my fourth wedding in a row in just 6 weeks at The Green Cornwall with another one to come next week, so I'm breaking my own record in visiting this beautiful venue!  

Gladly the weather warmed up nicely and it really feels like summer is slowly approaching. The woodland is tarting to blossom too. I'm always amazed how different this venue looks throughout the season..

Ian works for the Royal Navy, so he and his ushers were wearing their uniform and had the couple walking through a sword arch with pom pom confetti. A nice feature to capture.

The decoration was kept in pastel greens and creams and fitted great to the venue's style. The Great Barn's decoration looked stunning. And I loved the bridesmaids dresses which were perfectly matched to the woodwork colour of the couples cottage. Perfection!  

The alcohol was flowing fast and there was a lot of fun action to capture early in the day. The Swing Kings added a great vibe and the dance floor was going off with some quite impressive dance moves even before the first dance started.. I love a great party, more action to capture!

Here is a rather large collection of my favourites from the day. I just couldn't decide which ones to post as it was such a fun day..

Patricia & Darren's late winter wedding at The Green Cornwall

Patricia and Darren tied the knot on the 11th of march with a late winter wedding at The Green Cornwall. A beautiful relaxed day with their closest family and friends. They were blessed with dry weather so we could venture for a little walk through the surrounding woodland for our couple portraits. I'm always impressed how this venue changes colour throughout the season and never looks the same, always a pleasure to photograph there. 

The beautiful flower arrangements were created by the talented Kirsty from Escential Blooms and Patricia added her personal touch to the table decorations with illustrations of her favourite horses which is one of her passions. The cakes from Dollybird Bakes fitted to the rest of the styling and looked mouthwatering delicious..

The highlight of the speeches was the best man coming showing off a 'special accessory' from the stack party, the whole barn was drowned in laughter! While the dedicated team from the Green turned the Red Brick Barn around fro the evening we ventured in the bar area for a most hilarious couple quiz. I haven't witnessed one of them for a while and really can recommend it for any wedding, it's so much fun! 

The fantastic Kaj Music did what he does best and played his beautiful music for the evening entertainment..

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..
