fun on the beach with lovely Laura & Paul, a sneak peek

What can I say! Laura and Paul's wedding was just beautiful to say the least. They made their dream come true to get married on the beach in a hidden cove in Cornwall. I'm in the middle of editing their special day and couldn't help myself to post these from our fun little photoshoot on the beach..

Lorraine & Peter's spectacular seaside wedding @The Scarlet Hotel, Mawganporth

Lorraine & Peter got married in The Scarlet Hotel overlooking Mawganporth beach. Scarlet Hotel weddings are exclusive hire only, so they celebrated their special day exclusively with just their closest friends and family in style. We were blessed with a sunny but breezy day. In fact, so breezy that we couldn't really go down the beach for the planned couple photoshoot, which was a shame as they hired a camper van for the trip down the hill and brought these colourful balloons I would have so loved to photograph on the beach! Never mind, the hotel offers such amazing views, that we got some nice shots in semi sheltered gardens overlooking Mawganporth beach. The speeches were incredibly touching, reflecting the close bond they have with their friends and family and there was more than one tear shed! "The Strutts' got the party vibe going for the evening entertainment lit up by spectacular lights from 'say it with lights'. This wedding couldn't have been more perfect with a few of one of the best wedding suppliers Cornwall has to offer including the lovely Jenny from Jenny Wren Wedding & Events  bringing them all together under one roof.

with Claire&Matt on a tractor on top of a hill near St Ives

I couldn't help myself posting these as a mini preview of Claire&Matt's amazing farm style wedding..After their ceremony in Zennor near St Ives we did an excursion to the top of a hill with amazing views. This place has a very special meaning to Claire&Matt and I'm pleased we went up there on a very special wedding car, a red tractor. It was probably the best ride I ever had with a couple in a wedding car! Although the little photo trip took a bit longer than expected ;-)

Christine & Bouke's beautiful dutch themed wedding @Lanyon Cottages, Cornwall

What can I say! On Christine and Bouke's special day everything came together. The weather was amazing, a lovely sunny may day. They were so lucky as this year may has been rather disappointing! I also love shooting outdoor ceremonies, they are just so much nicer and have a real country style relaxed feel to them. It's the first time I shot a wedding at Lanyon Holiday Cottages and I must say it's an absolute stunning venue!

The cottage garden was flooded in sunlight and everyone seemed to enjoy the crepes from Coastal Crepes so much that the queue just didn't seem to get any smaller the whole afternoon! 

There was a lot of fun and laughter to be had with the garden games including a Croquet set, boules and some wooden stilts.

The reception room was decorated dutch themed in blue and white and was eye candy for me and my camera, unfortunately I only had a quick glimpse of it as I only stayed with them for 6 hrs.

For the couple shots we went down to the Godrevy beach. A stunning cornish beach with lots of photo opportunities! 

Naomi & David's Cornish Blessing on the Island in St Ives

Naomi and David renewed their vowels in the ancient chapel of St Nicholas on the island in St Ives in Cornwall. This beautiful spot on the cornish coast has a strong personal meaning to them and apart from that, I couldn't imagine a better location to have a very special cornish ceremony..

Olivia & Jonathan's sunny april wedding in Rock, Cornwall

Olivia and Jonathan were married in St Minver church and had their reception at Porthilly Farm in marquee situated right next to the Camel river estuary. I met Olivia and her bridesmaids at her grandma's house in Rock for the bridal preparations. There was a lot of laughter, bubbles and love in the air and you could just get a glimpse of the marquee from the house's beautiful view over the estuary. At St Minver church, unfortunately the vicar wasn't the most helpful and told me I was just allowed to take photos from the back. I improvised with help of the friendly church warden and the piano player to put up some  ladders in the storage section separated from the front part of the church by a huge wall. This way I could at least get a glimpse of the couple from the front standing on some wonky ladders.. after all who wants to see their backs on all the photos!) standing on some wonky ladders.. 

On the way to the reception we stopped at Porthilly beach for a few couple shots and then made our way to the sun flooded field for the reception where I took some group shots and captured the atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful early spring sunshine and I'm sure they had a great night..

Package 2-6hrs coverage from bridal prep till just before speeches

Shona & Mark's engagement shoot @Crantock, Cornwall

I met Shona & Mark last weekend to discuss their wedding at a cafe overlooking Crantock Bay. I told them to bring wellies as the weather forecast didn't look very promising for that day. It turned out to be a stunner and nobody would believe these are shot start of march, doesn't it look like summer!
