Lusty Glaze Beach Wedding Photographer // Sam & James

I’m super excited to present to you a preview of Sam and Jame’s fun filled beach wedding at Lusty Glaze in Cornwall. Voted best Coastal Wedding Venue in 2019’s UK Wedding Awards and for a reason: This little cove is one of the most romantic places in the Southwest, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and facing west it offers the best sunsets Cornwall has to offer and photo opportunities are plenty! It’s definitely one of my favourite local venues and you can hire it exclusively so the whole cove is yours for the day.

Sam and Jame’s special day was a picture book beach wedding, warm sunshine, turquoise sea, great music, singing waiters, a magician, an incoming tide for sea dips and lots of fun in the water and of course a magnificent sunset! What more would you desire from your special day on the beach! I loved this day, so many moments to capture that it was hard to make just a small selection to show to you guys.

A relaxed vibe day like this is the kind of wedding I specialise in and love capturing so much, so if you’re planning a beach wedding in Cornwall or even at Lusty Glaze, please contact me for some more information and availability, but be quick, 2024 is nearly fully booked and I have opened my 2025 diary now which is filling up super fast…

Wedding Photographer at The Green Cornwall // Faith & Jack

This epic wedding at The Green in Cornwall was a fun filled blast from start to finish. Including a stunning decor inspired by the couple’s favourite movie classics, wedding rings made by their talented friend Jo Mathan, archery, garden games, limbo dancing and granddad being the star of the dance floor! I really enjoyed being Faith and Jack’s wedding photographer, they are such a lovely pair and Faith, words can’t describe what a beautiful person she is, a true angel and the most amazing bride. I’m so excited to show you a little preview of the day and I really struggled to just choose a few of my favourite moments captured as there were so many…

The Green Cornwall is one of my most visited venues in Cornwall and I always love photographing weddings here. People ask me if I get tired working at the same venue, my answer is no as every wedding is so different and every couple’s story is a new one to tell…So here you have a glimpse of Faith and Jack’s wedding day, I hope you enjoy what you see…

Wedding Photography at Tunnels Beaches North Devon // Claire & Matt

Claire and Matt’s wedding at Tunnels Beaches was picture book perfect. I think it was the last day of summer as I feel the summer rainy season started shortly after…In fact, the weekend after when I camped nearby to make a weekend out of it! At least Sunday was nice and we walked a big part of the North Devon coast path enjoying the stunning views. I love this part of Devon, so much that if it fits in my diary I always try and stay a couple of days. It’s a nice change to Cornwall. So when Claire asked me to shoot their wedding, I got all excited although the pressure was high as she is a wedding photographer herself. It always flatters me when film makers and other photographers ask me to photograph their wedding as I know they will really appreciate my work and make the day run smoothly so I can get the shots I need….

Tunnels Beaches is the most incredible exclusive wedding venue by the sea in Devon. It is definitely one of my favourite wedding venues for photography, as the cliffs and coastline here are unique and the light is always incredible. There are plenty of backdrop opportunities for amazing portraits and facing west the sunsets are incredible. A photographer’s delight! The venue, which is an architectural beauty, sits above its own private beach, with magnificent views out to sea. You’re literally all day on or above a beach, it really is the perfect venue for a beach wedding by the sea.

If you are getting married at Tunnels Beaches, and looking for an experienced wedding photographer who specialises in natural wedding photos then contact me. I’d love to be back again and have a little excuse for a trip to North Devon!

Here is Claire and Matt’s mini preview, it was so hard to choose my favourite moments from this day as there was so many amazing moments…

Cornwall Wedding Photography at The Green // Terry & Jade

Terry and Jade tied the knot at The Green in Cornwall on the 18th of July. It wasn’t a fully sunny day and showers were on the forecast but they managed to make their dream come true and got married under the oak trees with an outdoor ceremony. And the only rain we have seen that day was during the late afternoon meal, when everyone was inside the red brick barn, how lucky is that! Well, they did tell me they had buried a sausage the day before, apparently it helps hold off the rain, it definitely seems to work!

Jade made most of the venue decor herself and the barn looked stunning, I especially loved the paper curtain made out of coffee filters, genius! And it’s a good backdrop for photos, until the kids ripped it to bits. Oh and did I mention Jade’s dress was from ‘Rue de Seine’, their boho style gowns are just the best, so stunning. It’s definitely one of my top favourite wedding dress brands.

Terry and Jade weren’t keen on too many family photos and didn’t have traditional speeches. They did their wedding their way, which I love! You don’t have to stick to rules, have what’s important to you at your special day, not was the norm tells you to have… The lovely pair also have this beautiful vibe around them and really know how to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated. They even made me take the first ever group photo of the team behind the scenes, a Staff Photo in front of the really rustic barn. An appreciation of the people behind the the wedding, the ones which make sure the wedding day runs smoothly and couples have the best day ever… and The Green team are a dream team when it comes to weddings.

So enough said, I have lots more recent weddings to edit…I let the photos tell the story…

Devon Wedding Photographer for Rustic Barn Wedding // Nat & Luke

I loved capturing this DIY wedding filled with personality. Nat and Luke worked for weeks clearing and cleaning their auntie’s horse barn for their super special rustic barn wedding near Exeter. And they have done an amazing job, the result looked stunning! I love a rustic DIY wedding, especially if it’s in a cosy barn overlooking some beautiful countryside. Not sure what the shire horses thought about everyone partying in their cosy home…

Speeches, speeches, speeches, I love capturing them. And these were insanely good speeches, especially when Luke’s dad starting singing and they really didn’t want him too!. And a party it was, with a free bar flowing all day the dancing started early and I loved being amongst such a good vibe, if I would have brought my van along I probably would have stayed for the night…

Here is a small selection of Nat & Luke’s epic day, I hope you like it.

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! ‘

If you’re looking for a laid back wedding with super tasty vegan food in Cornwall, look no further, Mount Pleasant Eco Park is the perfect venue. And if you like this preview and looking for someone capturing your day there, please contact me for availability.

Wedding Photographer Polhawn Fort Cornwall // Kay & Tom

How good did it feel to be back to photographing a wedding at Polhawn Fort! It has been at least 3 years since I have last visited this beautiful venue. Kay & Tom didn’t only have great weather, they had a brilliant bunch of family and friends to celebrate with them. The fabulous Polhawn Fort in Cornwall is a venue where couples can really make it their own rather than being restricted and regimented like at a lot of other wedding venues. And set in this beautiful location with it’s own private beach it is pretty unique! So if you’re looking for a relaxed unconventional wedding venue I would definitely recommend them.

Here is what Kay had to say: ‘I found the venue online. I couldn't sleep, I was looking for venues by the sea and I fell in love with it. It was a perfect fit because it's a fort which Tom loved and its whimsical and romantic in an unconventional way which I loved. ‘ 

Blessed with beautiful weather most of the day was spent outdoors and kay’s dream wedding came reality. Her highlight of the day: ‘I really enjoyed the music, games and mingling on the lawn. Lots of good food.’

Tom’s highlight of the day (bless him): ‘Marrying the girl of his dreams’ (he's a keeper) 

Enough said. Here are some of my favourite moments from being Kay & Tom’s wedding photographer.

Wedding Photography Falmouth and Lamorran Gardens Cornwall // Liz & Robin

Liz and Robin’s wedding day was truly magical! They said ‘I do’ in the beautiful Lamorran Gardens overlooking the sea, followed by a boat reception with Falmouth Pleasure Cruises and an evening at the Working Boat Pub in Falmouth. The weather couldn’t have been better for it and I had an epic start of the day with a mini boat cruise from Falmouth over to St Mawes. I had an incredible time capturing this day filled with emotion and awesomeness, a truly extraordinary wedding and one I will remember forever!

Here is a little summary about the day from the couple:

Liz and Robin met almost 5 years ago after he wandered into the Dive Centre she was working in and they got chatting about their mutual love of the sea. Him a professional offshore sailor and her a scuba diving instructor. They went on their first date at the Working Boat Pub Falmouth and knew from very early on that they'd found something very special. They got engaged in Nov 2020 and started thinking about how they could work their love of the ocean into their wedding day. St Mawes had always been special to them as they had their second date and first kiss there. Lamorran Gardens was the only wedding venue they visited and fell in love straight away with Mediterranean vibe and stunning sea views. It seemed fitting to have the reception at the pub where they had their first date and adding the party boat in, to have a little river cruise just tied it all together so perfectly. 

Robin - 'My favourite part of the day was saying our vows under the cuppola. Lamorran gardens is such an amazing and magical place, we felt so lucky to be able to get married there.' 

Liz - 'It's so hard to choose a favourite part of the day because I honestly loved every single second. But walking down from the ceremony with all our family and friends in the sunshine overlooking the beautiful St Mawes and Carrick Roads felt very very special.'

The day was incredibly emotional as on the 9th March, just a few months earlier, whilst Liz & Robin were out in Antigua, Robin sustained major skull fractures, broke his neck and sustained a traumatic brain injury. Resulting in him being medically evacuated to Miami ICU where he underwent emergency brain surgery and skull reconstruction. He spent 16 days in ICU. And 2 more weeks as an outpatient in Miami. The first thing that Robin said when he woke up was 'we're still getting married' and I truly believe the belief of better days to come helped to pull us through some of the darker moments. There were many moments where we didn't think we would still be able to get married, so having the day we'd always planned made us feel like the happiest and luckiest people alive. To be surrounded by our family and friends who sent so much love and support across the ocean was incredible. I still thank my lucky stars every day that we're here and we're married.

Eden Project Cornwall Wedding Photography // Ash & David

It’s always a pleasure to photograph a wedding at the Eden Project, a feast for the eyes and inspiration. And even better if it’s such a lovely couple like Ash and David. I met Ash early afternoon just down the road for some bridal preparation photos. How amazing is her bespoke sparkly dress by Hen House Brides, and it’s blue! I love to see something fresh when it comes to weddings and I have a special weakness for non white wedding dresses…

Ash and David tied the knot in the Mediterranean Biome on the 13th of May in beautiful golden afternoon light. They had a registry office ceremony before the ‘big day’, so one of their close friends could hold a much more personal ceremony at the Eden. It was fantastic! You would have thought it was his job, so special, so personal, so emotional, one of the best ceremonies I have ever witnessed!

After the ceremony we made the most out of the location and had a wander around the Mediterranean and Tropical Biomes. The photo opportunities are plenty and I had to force myself to stop as it was time for dinner and speeches. I got spoilt with a 3 course meal and it was one of the best I had in ages, so delicious. The Eden Project is definitely in my top 5 list for food!

There was plenty of laughter and tears during the groom’s and bride’s speech and the warm sunset light added a great Mediterranean flair.

Sadly Ash and David didn’t opt for a cake or first dance…I love a first dance, but their friend’s made good for it with some great moves.

I’m not very good with words and writing so I let the images so tell the story…I hope you this little preview of an epic day

Wedding Photographer Knightor Winery Cornwall // Ed & Lois

Wow, I couldn't have imagined a better start into the 2023 wedding season than this stunning Easter Weekend Wedding with Ed and Lois at Knightor Winery in Cornwall!

When Ed asked me a year ago to be his wedding photographer I was slightly flattered when I found out that he has his own film company ‘We are Wild Studio’. It’s always satisfying to work with someone who understands photography…

Ed and Lois’ wedding day couldn’t have been more perfect. The weather was great, so they had their drinks reception and wine tasting outside by the oak arbour which I thought was a great touch and never has been done before at Knightor.

The speeches were epic and after a second set of photos with the lovely pair, a sparkler exit announced the evening entertainment and a beautiful first dance indoors and outdoors…

I love shooting weddings at Knightor Winery, there are so many photo opportunities and it always has this special relaxed vibe. So if you’re planning to get married there and are looking for a wedding photographer please contact me for availability. It’s one of my favourite venues here in Cornwall.

But fr now, enjoy a small preview from Ed & Lois’ cracker of a day!
