Cornwall Wedding Photography Kehelland Trust // Dan & Imogen

I don’t know where to begin here, Dan and Imogen’s Cornwall wedding ticked all the boxes for a fun filled intimate day and I feel privileged to have been there to capture it all.

Imogen got ready at a holiday rental right next to her mum’s house in the countryside near St Ives. A super relaxed morning and great to work with Ro Hair and Georgina Yates again, it has been a while. We then ventured to St Uny Church in Lelant for the ceremony. Such a lovely church sitting beside the Hayle estuary. After the ceremony we headed to Kehelland Trust for the reception with a mini stopover at Godrevy. It’s the place where they got engaged! Sadly it was overcast but we still made the most of it, at least it wasn't as busy as a sunny day and we could park super close to the beach. Time was an issue as Dan and Imogen didn’t want their guests waiting for them too long before they arrive at the reception location…

It was my first time at Kehelland, a barn venue with a true rustic and DIY feel to it. Imogen’s brother made the most delicious gluten free cake and and the rings were made by their dear friend Justin incorporating sand from Godrevy beach! I just love little details like that which makes a wedding so personal… Dan and Imogen’s guests were a great bunch and everyone made me feel so welcome. I got right in the middle of the Ceilidh action and I think it’s one of my favourite parts of the day to capture, Ceilidhs are just so much fun and get everyone on the dancefloor, always. But reflecting back there were so many great moments, I really struggled choosing less than 100 images for this little teaser. The 2024 wedding season is just amazing so far, one cracker after another… Roll on June, my busiest month this summer!

For now, just a few from this fantastic day with Imogen and Dan

Cornwall Wedding Photographer at Tregenna Castle St Ives // Hannah & Ross

Hannah and Ross were married at Tregenna Castle in St Ives. Always a pleasure to photograph a wedding in St Ives. The light, the views, the colours, it always works whatever the weather. We had a fine day with a mixture of sunshine and clouds, so during the outdoor ceremony the constant light changes were a bit tricky but I love my Sony gear which easy tackles situations like that…

They had a great line up planned for the rest of the day with Daniel Costin on the Sax for the drinks reception, then Roger Miners for the wedding breakfast inside. I love working with them and Dan always gets the crowd moving which results in great imagery.

We made the most to of Tregenna’s amazing views over St Ives and the stunning tropical gardens for our first set of couple portraits and even did a quick trip down Porthminster beach just after the speeches.

It was Hannah’s brother’s birthday that day and she had a little surprise cake or him which was super cute and I was happy to capture and the Casino in the evening was a highlight too, so much fun!

It’s always great for photos when there is a lot going on entertainment wise and Hannah and Ross really had that part dialled. A perfect day at a stunning location!

Devon Wedding Photography at Higher Eggbeer // Jess & Conor

Now this was a STUNNER of a day in any stretch of imagination! It felt like the first day of spring after a long period of bad weather and I happened to be working at one of the most stunning Devon wedding venues with a bunch of legends! My first time photographing a wedding at Higher Eggbeer and oh mighty what a place. A thatch roof farm with 2 rustic barns full of charm, beautifully maintained grounds with views over Dartmoor. Oh and did I mention the pool and the tennis court? A beautiful setting to relax, unwind and celebrate with your friends and family. And for photography it offers endless photo spots and backdrops.

Jess and Conor were married here on the 20th of April and brought a whole bunch of lovely family and friends with them. I truly felt like a part of their ‘gang’ by the end of the day, a dream wedding which ticked all the boxes!

Here is a little preview for you and I must say I really struggled to keep the amor of images for this post within 100! So many amazing moments…

If you’re planning a wedding at Higher Eggbeer or Dartmoor please contact me for availability and prices. I want to go back and shoot another wedding there as I love, love, love this place!

Cornwall Wedding Photography at Launcells Barton // Abi & Sean

Images of weddings at this stunning North Cornwall venue kept popping up in my feed and it has been on my shoot list for a very long time. So when Abi and Sean asked me to photograph their wedding there it was an immediate yes from me!

Steeped in history and set amidst spectacular wooded countryside, Launcells Barton is a family-owned exclusive use wedding venue in Launcells, a small parish situated near Bude in North Cornwall. Along with boutique accommodation in a historic country manor house a couple of beautifully renovated barns, walled gardens it has access to an ancient church if you prefer to get married there rather than outside or in one of the barns. Abi and Sean married in St Swithians Church. The church has lots of family history for Abi and was where her parents were married too. I love it when couples choose their venues with meaning or history attached to it.

I loved every minute of this day and we got so lucky with the weather. Storm Kathleen was whipping the Cornish Coast that weekend but it stayed dry until the wedding breakfast, maybe a bit on the windy side but that can be dealt with. We even had some golden evening light, not too bad for a stormy day!

I hope I will be back at this stunning venue soon. For now, here is a preview of Abi and Sean’s day

Best of 2023 Wedding Photography

What a year, 2023 you were amazing! I feel truly privileged to do a job I love so much. The people I meet, the places I visit, the laughter, joy and love I witness and memories I capture put a big smile in my face. Thanks to all my couples for choosing me as your wedding photographer, you were amazing and I feel so honoured to have played a part in your very special day. Thanks a million for having me. Here is a look back at some of my favourite moments…to be honest there were hundreds and it was really hard to make this collection.

Roll on 2024, I know it will be a cracker!

Wedding Photography at Knightor Winery, St Austell, Cornwall // Louise & Tim

Louise and Tim tied the knot late October at the fabulous Knightor Winery in St Austell. One of my favourite and most visited venues here in Cornwall as it’s a great place for a relaxed vibe wedding all year round. Photo opportunities are plenty with a woodland drive, an orchard, plenty of rustic stone wall corners, a wooden arbour …and if you fancy some beach photos, it is a short drive away from a couple of stunning Cornish South Coast beaches.

I met Louise and her bride squat in the chalet for their bridal prep photos. Nice to work with Hannah Symons for makeup and Melody Rose for hair again. They are always great company and are super talented. And how good are the Dr Martens boots!

The guys were getting ready in the main house. They had some problems with the handkerchiefs, how to fold them and put them in their pockets, no-one had a glue! Not even I and I watched it so many times. It’s interesting how your mind works, I often get asked how to tie a tie, but I just observe the actual reactions and clueless faces etc. instead of memorising the ‘how’… So keeping it short, I was clueless too! Thankfully Louise’s dad came to help…

The ceremony was held in the main barn which looked stunning with beautiful autumn coloured flowers created by ‘Blossom and Kelp’ and the fairy lights added a festive atmosphere. Oh and Roger Miners on the piano.

Gladly it stopped drizzling and the weather brightened up for some photos outside straight after the ceremony before everyone headed back in for their wedding b breakfast and speeches. The speeches were super emotional, a lot of laughter but also some tears. Still one of my favourite parts of the day to capture!

It didn’t take long to fill the dance floor with this great bunch of people, so much fun and great music by the ‘Busketeers’…

Louise and Tim, what a fab day to be a part of. It was hard to choose less than 100 images for your preview, I hope you like it as much as I do!

Wedding Photography Launceston Cornwall // Bethany & Alex

I have photographed Bethany’s sister’s wedding a couple of years back. It was during covid times and they managed to have a small intimate wedding at The Green. It was such a pleasure to see the whole family again for Bethany and Alex’ wedding in September!

I met them for getting ready images at Bethany’s parents house in Launceston before we headed to the nearby parish church for the ceremony. Such a stunning ceremony with Bethany’s mum doing part of the final blessing.

There was a lovely woodland footpath for some photos straight after the ceremony and if course we made use of the stunning Jaguar for some more portraits before we ventured to Cowslip Workshops for the reception. Unfortunately the weather turned and we couldn’t head out for our second portrait session. But the mist and drizzle didn’t spoil Bethany and Alex’ day. After some epic speeches they soon got into party mode.

What an honour to capture your very special day Bethany and Alex! Thanks for confiding in me the second time round and I really enjoyed catching up with your lovely family again. I can’t wait to show you the full gallery soon. For now, here is a little taster

Oh and thanks to the team at Cowslip Workshops for looking after me, the food was delicious!

Wedding Photography at The Green Cornwall // Iona & Peter

Iona and Peter said ‘I do’at The Green Cornwall. I always lie coming here, it’s so relaxed when you turn into he drive covered by old one trees, you just feel like you’re miles away from everything. With it’s own woodland walk and rustic barn it is always a pleasure to photograph weddings here. And I walkways find new angles even after years visiting this place!

I wanted to show Iona and Peter a mini preview before I have a well deserved break in my camper van for the first 3 weeks in October. So I won’t be saying much about this wedding and prepare a proper write up once back from my trip.

All I can say, thanks for trusting me to photograph your beautiful day, Iona and Peter and for bringing your gorgeous German Shepard ‘Loki’ along with you…I love dogs at weddings especially when they are as handsome as ‘Loki’…

I hope you like your little preview…

Wedding Photographer Lusty Glaze Beach Weddings // Taylar & Phil

Oh Lusty, I just love you! Another beautiful wedding at one of Cornwall’s finest beach venues. Taylar and Phil’s day was fantastic from start to finish. Sunshine, blue skies, a great bunch of people, good food, great tunes and a beautiful sunset. What more would you want for a beach wedding in style.

I have a little back log of weddings still to edit, so I’m not writing to much in detail but rather let the images tell the story.

Here you go, a little glimpse into Taylar and Phil’s special day at the wonderful Lusty Glaze.

Harefield Barn WeddingPhotography Devon // Emma & Dan

Emma and Dan’s wedding at Harefield Barn in Devon was fantastic. They are such a lovely couple to work with and are truly made for each other. There was a strong bond and connection to feel between them which really helps to produce some great images.

I met Emma and her bride clan at her mum’s house in Exeter before we headed to St Jame’s church just up the road. Emma’s family have a strong connection to this church so the ceremony and music was breathtakingly beautiful. And their lovely labrador Toby did a great job as ring bearer. For everyone who knows me, I love vintage cars and Emma and Dan travelled in style in a beautiful blue Morris Minor to Harefield Barn for their reception.

It was my first time photographing a wedding at Harefield Barn and I instantly loved it. A gorgeous Barn venue located in the heart of Devon countryside with beautiful rolling hills as a backdrop. A great place to have a relaxed style wedding with your friends and family.

Emma and Dan’s day was blessed with blue skies and sunshine, so we spend most of the day on outside until the dancing started and oh my gosh, everyone was straight into it! Even I had a little tinkle in my legs. What a party!

Emma and Dan, I loved every part of your day and thanks a million for having me there, it was a pleasure capturing it. Here is a little taster for you…
