Wedding Photography Rock Cornwall // Charlie & Louisa

Louisa and Charlie’s relaxed vibe wedding at The Pityme Inn, Rock Cornwall

Charlie and Louisa’s fab day in Rock Cornwall. They got so lucky with this stunning location out of the ordinary. Not a wedding venue, but the most perfect layout for a wedding reception, the Pityme Inn in Rock. Owned by Louisa’s friend she knew from when they worked together years ago. So they decided to get married in St Michael’s church in Porthilly overlooking the estuary and celebrate after with their closest friends and family at the beautiful Pityme Inn.

A super relaxed afternoon in the pub’s stunning beer garden. So many laughs, so many tears of joy, what day! Thanks Charlie and Louisa for letting me capture it!

Here is a little taster of the day…

Venue: Pityme Inn and St Michael’s Church // Date: 08.06.2024

I loved photographing Megan & Jack’s wedding at Cornwall. Here is a gallery of some of my favourite images

I loved photographing Megan & Jack's wedding at Polhawn Fort, Cornwall. Megan and Jack were amazing to work with, so much fun and a full on action filled day. I hardly had time to sit down and was truly knackered when I came home but it was so worth it. So many beautiful moments. Here is a gallery of some of my favourite images.

Cornwall Wedding Photography Kehelland Trust // Dan & Imogen

Dan and Imogen’s fun filled Cornwall Wedding at Kehelland Trust and St Uny Church. A rustic DIY barn wedding with Ceilidh dancing…

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

Always a pleasure to photograph a wedding in St Ives. Here is a preview of Hannah & Ross’ wedding at Tregenna Castle

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!

My first time shooting a wedding at Higher Eggbeer in Devon and I can’t wait to be back! A thatch roof farm with 2 rustic barns full of charm and amazing views over Dartmoor…

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

Abi and Sean’s Wedding at Launcells Barton. A stunning venue with history attached on the North Cornwall Coast. It has been on my shot list for a while and when Abi and Sean asked me to shoot their wedding it was a definite yes from me!

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

Venue: Launcells Barton // Date: 06.04.2024 // Flowers: Bude Botanical // Dress: Jitka’s Made to Measure // Bride’s Shoes: Phase Eight // Groom’s Suit: Benetti, CityMan - Derry // Decor: Stargazey Decor // Band: The Root’s Acoustic Trio // Food: The Good Food Company

The Green Cornwall Small and Intimate Wedding Photography // Vicki & Jason

A small intimate wedding at The Green Cornwall to kickstart the 2024 wedding season…

My first wedding this season and a lovely intimate day to capture with Vicki and Jason at The Green Cornwall. They both live in Plymouth and wanted a relaxed style rustic wedding with just a few of their best friends and family. The Green is the perfect place for it. Surrounded by green countryside and on the gateway to Bodmin Moor you can truly relax and unwind. It was a bit of a drizzly early April day but it didn't spoil their special day in the slightest. I was only with them for part of the day, but what a beautiful wedding to kickstart the 2024 wedding season with…

Venue: The Green Cornwall // Date: 4. 04. 2024

Engagement Session Crantock Cornwall // Gemma & Adam

Meet Gamma and Adam! A little taster from their engagement session at Crantock Beach…

A few from Gemma and Adam’s engagement session at Crantock a few weeks back. Gamma and Adam are getting married in July at Knightor Winery. They wanted a little practise before their big day, so we arranged an engagement shoot to ease their nerves of getting photographed. I love meeting couples this way, it really helps to get to know each other a bit and how we work together before the wedding day.

Here is a little taster from the session…

Cornwall Engagement Photography - Holywell Bay // Dan & Imogen

It was a pleasure meeting Dan and Imogen a few weeks back for their engagement photos at Holywell Bay

It was a pleasure to meet Dan and Imogen for their engagement photos a few weeks back. We went to one of my favourite local beaches, Holywell Bay. This beautiful Cornish gem is one of my top go to locations for photoshoots. Dan and Imogen don’t like their photos taken and wanted a bit of practice before their wedding in May. We had a great time and I’m quite sure they realised that it’s pretty easy to create some unposed, natural portraits… I can’t wait to shoot their wedding soon…

So great to meet you guys! Roll n May…
