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..

Sarah & Kat's Elopement at the Scarlet Hotel in Mawganporth

Sarah and Kat eloped to Cornwall on May the 3rd. They've chosen the Scarlet Hotel because Mawganporth is one of their favourite places and The Scarlet is dog friendly. They brought their adorable guide dog with them who also did a great job as the ring bearer. Originally planned as an elopement with just the three of them they decided to bring just a few of their besties and parents along with them to celebrate in style. The ceremony was very special with lots of laughter and good vibes. 

After a few bubbles and canapés we ventured down the beach for some more photos. They did great with their choice of two wedding dresses in opposite complimenting colours. I think they look great in the photos.. 

I only stayed with them for 2.5 hours but I'm sure they had a great evening with delicious food at The Scarlet and enjoyed their mini moon week in Cornwall.

Here is a little taster.

Sarah & Simon's Outdoor Elopement at The Green Weddings Cornwall

Sarah and Simon eloped at the Green Cornwall on the 1st of May. They just brought their closest family with them and their 3 adorable dogs. I arrived at The Green ca 30 minutes before the ceremony and the registrars weren't quite sure if the wedding ceremony could go ahead outdoors  as it kept on raining. The tension was high and we all hoped the clouds would move in time as Sarah and Simon dreamt of an outdoor ceremony. The decision was made to go ahead with it last minute and we all stayed dry. The Green offers a lovely outdoor arbour by a pond surrounded by woodland and greenery, a beautiful romantic setting for an outdoor wedding. I'm so pleased for them their dream came true! 

One of their pugs has done a great job as the ring bearer and I was quite impressed with the 'pug kisses' ...I just love it when dogs get involved in a wedding! To read about some tips about bringing your dog to your wedding please read my blog post here

 We even stayed dry for a little walk through the Green's grounds for some couple portraits straight after the ceremony before we ventured to the house to have some drinks and canapés.

I only stayed with them for ca 2 hours. Here is a little taster

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..

Verity & Ashley's Family Elopement at The Green Wedding & Events in Cornwall

Verity and Ashley eloped to Cornwall on the 24th of April. Verity wanted to be pregnant for her wedding and I must say she really timed that well! They only brought their nearest and dearest along with them and it felt more like a intimate family gathering than a big wedding party. A lovely relaxed afternoon with the children playing, dancing and everyone including their gorgeous Beagle mix snuggling up in front of the woodfire in the cosy white house at The Green. 

I love playing a part in intimate and personal small weddings like this, they are always a pleasure to capture ... here is a small selection..

Beach Engagement Shoot with Becky, Alex and their German Shepherd 'Bear'

I met Becky and Alex for their pre-wedding photoshoot, some may call it engagement shoot, for me it's just a walk with the couple and photographing them 'doing their thing'  in the most natural way possible... just so they know how I work on their wedding day. If you haven't been photographed by a professional photographer before and if you're a bit nervous before your big day, this tester shoot is a perfect opportunity to ease your nerves. You will find out everything about getting photographed without the need of posing in a documentary style or to find out what works best for you. 

Becky and Alex brought their adorable German Shepherd 'Bear' with them to have a play on the beach which helped to take the focus of them and really just have a play around..

I love the results and can't wait to photograph their wedding at Lustyglaze in September.

Here are just a few of my favourites.. 

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
