Working as a wedding photographer in Devon and Cornwall makes it possible to meet some truly wonderful people and to visit some of the hidden gems in and around the west country that you’d never normally get to see.
It’s difficult to describe this wonderful wedding and do it full justice! Having decided on a rainbow/vintage theme for their wedding, Claire & Tim found a beautifully unique venue for their reception – Porth en Alls is right by the sea and the house itself reminded me of something from ‘Alice in Wonderland’ with its quirky rooms & corridors. The beautiful & unusual flowers from eco-friendly florist Daisy Roots arrived while Claire and her nine bridesmaids were getting ready. It was quite a feat getting everyone curled & coiffed & into those petticoats! But when everyone was ready I hopped on the vintage coach with the bridesmaids, and Claire and her Dad travelled to the beautiful Germoe Church in a horse-drawn carriage; those horses were so gorgeous! Tim & the boys all looked fab in uber-cool hats & seriously bright ties too. The service was lovely – all the little bridesmaids sitting amidst a sea of frothing petticoats made everyone smile, and Booboo (Claire & Tim’s rescued greyhound) made an excellent ring-bearer!
Back at the house the reception was held in the most amazing tipi marquees (think giant hats…) and the sun finally decided to shine on the proceedings. Speeches were rather emotional, and the evening barbecue was a huge success, as was the Uley Cotswold Bitter, brewed by a relative of Tim’s!
Claire & Tim, we wish you both a long & happy life together – full of rainbows!
