Shona & Mark's colourful countryside wedding @The Green, Cornwall

I was meaning to post this in ages, but I had a busy summer editing all your nice weddings!

Shona and Mark celebrated their special day for a whole weekend with family and friends who traveled from far, far away. They rented the house and the 5 cottages at 'The Green House and Cottages' located in a lush green valley in the heart of Bodmin Moor, not far from the infamous 'Minions'. A hideaway perfect spot for a relaxed weekend in nature.

Shona and Mark planned a 3 month honeymoon around Southeast Asia and Australia straight after their wedding and integrated a bit of a travel theme into their table decorations. I really liked the vintage alarm clocks showing off each country's timezone. Besides Shona's obsession with sunflowers, she loves cows and wanted a picture with them! Surrounded by farmland it shouldn't be too hard to find them, but unfortunately it started raining and the food was being served. So while everyone had their wedding breakfast, I ventured out in the rain to find cows. I got lucky apart from that they started chasing me out of the field when I tried to take the photo!

The evening started pretty early with everyone joining in on the dance floor as soon as the live music started. I'm quite sure the late afternoon rain increased the bar visits and the alcohol consumption!

I'm convinced Shona & Mark had an amazing trip together as they are such a perfect match with a great sense of humour and I wish them all the best for their future together.

Sara & Scott's intimate wedding day @St Ives

Sara&Scott celebrated their special day with just a few members of their family in St Ives and show us that a 'special day' doesn't neccessarly have to be a 'big day'! They were married in St Ives Guildhall and after a few glasses of Champagne we were waiting for the sky to clear up and had a stroll through St Ives to Porthminster beach for some photos. I only stayed with them for 2,5hrs, but the day had a very special, relaxed and positive vibe to it, inspite of the rainy start! Here are a few highlights..

Andy & Carly's wedding @Lusty Glaze, a few highlights..

I met Carly just before she left the Headland Hotel with her dad to drive down to Lusty Glaze where they had their ceremony and reception. By their relaxed vibe I could already tell that it would be an amazing day to shoot. The late September day was blessed with sunshine and high temperatures and everything came together on their day. Carly and Andy were a pleasure to work with and didn't mind 'getting their feet wet' and we had a great laugh taking the portraits down the beach. They were hoping for a sunset photo since I first met them for their wedding consultation and they were rewarded: the cornish coast delivered and we had the most beautiful sunset over Newquay headland.  I left soon after as I was only booked for 7hours, but I'm sure the dancing went on till late in the night... What a day! 

Louise & Alex @Lusty Glaze Beach, small preview church wedding

What can I say! Louise and Alex were blessed with a beautiful sunny September day and had their reception at the stunning private beach venue  Lusty Glaze. You can't get closer to the beach to celebrate your wedding in Cornwall. Louise and Alex were a real fun couple to work with and they didn't care getting their feet wet.. Here are a few images from our private couple portrait shoot on the beach.. more coming soon, I promise. I'm just really busy at the moment editing all your lovely weddings..

Congratulations Zephy & George! @Mevagissey and @Heligan Gardens, Cornwall

1 image preview..busy, busy times editing lots of great weddings I recently photographed all over Cornwall and Devon. I promise I'll be posting more images very soon ;-)

So now the season has quieted down a bit, I can start posting all my favourite weddings from this summer, exciting times! 

Zephy and George were married in Mevagissey church and had their reception in a village hall nearby. The whole day had a very personal touch to it and all the decorations were DIY. We were pleased when their caterer said we could sneak into their private garden which is basically located in Heligan Gardens. It was a much better choice for the couple photo shoot than the plain village hall field. They really went to town with the decorations and converted the hall into a lively wedding venue! I loved every minute I spend with them and their guests. Here are a few of the days highlights..

no need for second photographers...?

I've got a feeling I don't need to hire a second photographer anymore as I meet all these lovely second shooters at recent weddings ;-)

Congratulations Vanessa & James! @Porthpean beach, Cornwall

Niels & Harriet's wedding @Huntsham Court, Devon

What can I say! Niels and Harriet celebrated their special day in style at Huntsham Court in Devon. The stunning mansion is situated in the beautiful Devon countryside on the border of Exmoor National Park. It's always a great pleasure shooting at a stunning location like this. With it's  5 acres of private gardens surrounded by rolling countryside there are plenty of photo opportunities!

The speeches were epic and I loved the beef carving outfits! My highlight was the first dance with The Rebel Party Band absolutely rocking the night away... I wished I could have stayed a bit longer to get my rusty dancing legs swinging again!
