Royal Cornwall Show 2019
It’s not long before our yearly jaunt to the Wadebridge showground! We’ll be in the wedding marquee with a lot of other fabulous suppliers and some amazing special offers for our wedding photography. The show is on from 6th to 8th of June. Put it in your diaries!!
Valentine’s Day
Christmas is a distant memory, dry January done & dusted and, if you happen to have school age children, it may be dawning on you that the half term holiday is here again (“what??!!! They only went back to school 5 minutes ago…….”).
It’s February and that can only mean one thing; Valentine’s Day!! That day in the year so anticipated & dreaded in equal measure. From gloating schoolfriends to smug singletons in the office (and lets not forget that particularly annoying colleague with the husband who always sends a dozen red roses. To work!) it’s never nice to be the one who doesn’t receive anything.
(more…)Wedding Etiquette – Buttonholes & How to wear them
Peak wedding season will be here again before we know it. And with it comes all those inevitable questions for cornwall wedding photographers such as: “Is your camera heavy?”, “Do you actually like weddings?” and, probably the most popular question of all, “Where does this go?”, as the Groom/Best Man/Aunt waves a buttonhole under our nose.
Well the short answer to the first two questions is “Yes!”. The third needs a little more attention.
So who exactly wears a buttonhole? Or boutonnières as they are sometimes referred to.
Free Storybook Offer !!
To combat the January blues we’re offering a FREE storybook with all standard packages booked with us before Valentines Day.
Yes you read that correctly! A completely free book!!

2018 Highlights
Well Christmas is over, New Year’s Eve celebrations have been fully recovered from (although I’m not sure we could cope with too many parties ’til 3am!!) and we’ve finally had the chance to sit down and look through a handful of our beautiful 2018 weddings.
What an incredible year we had! We worked at some stunning venues – Ravello in Italy, St Ives, Carbis Bay, Pentillie Castle, Lanhydrock, Woolacombe, Polhawn Fort, Carlyon Bay & Bovey Castle to name just a few. We photographed farmers & F1! We did family photoshoots for past wedding customers and engagement shoots for future ones. We had some wonderful commercial shoots, made a lot of new friends in the wedding industry and it was great to work with each and every one of them 🙂
So here are a few of our favourites from a few of our weddings. It was a complete honour to be involved in all these special days, and thanks to all the amazing brides & grooms who put their faith in us. Your kind words about us are the biggest buzz we could ever get!
(more…)Wedding Etiquette – Who Sits Where in Church?
You’ve spent hours working out the reception seating plan (“We can’t put Cousin Fred next to Vera-from-work. He shoots pheasants for fun and she’s a strict vegan…”) but no one ever mentioned the church. At least, not until the rehearsal, when one of the ushers asked exactly what they had to do. Um, give out orders of service and show people to their seats. And um…
It’s probably better to work it all out in advance and hopefully this wedding photographers guide to wedding ceremony seating will help!
So who sits where? (more…)
How To Have An Unplugged Wedding
You see it all the time in wedding blogs & magazines, but what does having an ‘unplugged wedding’ actually mean?
Well an unplugged wedding is exactly that, your guests unplug themselves from phones, ipads (other tablets are available…), cameras (yes Uncle Bob that means you too!) and any other device or technology lurking in their bags or pockets. Its about enjoying the moments as they happen, looking around and seeing friends and family, seeing the emotions & feeling the love. We live in a world where people constantly check their phones, take photos and upload them to the social media platform of their choice, but no bride wants to be faced with a wall of phones as she’s about to walk up the aisle. She’s excited and nervous and would much rather see everyone’s smiling faces.
So should you have an unplugged wedding?

Abi & Mike at The Carbis Bay Hotel
Dream weddings do happen! All the planning and preparation comes together and results in a perfect day for everyone – the Bride & Groom, their family & friends and even their happy little wedding photographers! We were recommended to Abi & Mike by the Carbis Bay Hotel and our first meeting was on a slightly drizzly & windy, definitely freezing day in February. Carbis Bay beach still looked impressive but we all expressed a desire for better weather come the wedding day! We weren’t disappointed.
(more…)Say Hello at The Royal Cornwall Show 2018!
We can’t quite believe it, but it’s that time of year again. The amazing Royal Cornwall Show is this week at the showgound in Wadebridge. We’ll be in the wedding marquee again with an amazing not-to-be-missed offer for some lucky brides & grooms 🙂
