As a wedding photographer in Cornwall there a few venues that I really relish the idea of working at, so I was absolutely delighted when Aelene & Martin chose us to photograph their wedding at the stunning Pentillie Castle in Saltash, Cornwall – definitely one of our favourite venues!  The guys all looked gorgeous in their dress uniforms and Robb spent the morning running from Castle to pub (in nearby St Mellion) to Castle with them before hitching a rather bumby lift to church on the wedding tractor!

Aelene’s preparations at Pentillie were a little more laid-back and she looked absolutely beautiful in her halter-necked lace dress & slightly 60’s inspired hairdo. Transport to Landulph Church for Aelene was a specially decorated military truck, which looked amazing and completely blocked the narrow road between Pentillie and the church!

After an interesting service (sorry but we weren’t allowed to photograph any of it) which featured an inspired reading from Winnie-the-Pooh by Aelene’s mum Patricia and wonderful music courtesy of Mark on Piano and James on Violin, The new Mr & Mrs Allison left the church under an archway of swords & riding crops.

Back at Pentillie the marquee was looking fabulous and a special mention just has to be made of the incredible cake!  We disappeared off in the landrover for some shots of Aelene & Martin around the estate and boy was it windy up in that field!  I was worried that Aelene would be blown away but after rescuing and re-attaching her veil(!) we headed back to the Castle so Martin could change into his kilt and the reception could begin.  Some guests were a little surprised when just before the main course a round of haggis was accompanied into the marquee by a rousing tune on the bagpipes, but everyone entered into the spirit and enjoyed the whiskey toasts!  The speeches were hilarious and afterwards we slipped away to the Bathing Hut down by the river wth Martin and Aelene for some more photos.  The setting was truly magical and Martin got quite romantic about it all!

Big thanks to everyone who helped, and especially to Aelene & Martin for making our job so enjoyable.  We just know you’ll continue to have a wonderful life together!
