A (Very!) Quick Look at Some Royal Wedding Photography

/ Blog

Unless you’ve been hidden under a rock recently you will know that HRH Prince Henry Charles Albert David Windsor (that’s Prince Harry to you and me) is marrying Meghan Markle (actually Rachel Meghan – who knew?!) on Saturday 19th May.

The whole world loves a royal wedding. Curiosity about the dress reaches fever pitch and wedding suppliers brace themselves for all those requests “I want my cake/dress/bouquet exactly like that……..!”

Wedding photography is subtly different in that no one asks for their photos to be royal copies. To be fair not many people have a spare ballroom to set everything up in, but we do get to see everyone else’s fabulous efforts.  But as a wedding photographer myself it got me thinking about royal weddings in general and how much – or little – the public actually get to see.

Eloping to Cornwall – The Best Idea You Ever Had?!

/ Blog

There’s a growing trend in the UK which you may have heard of, in fact if you happen to be at the wedding planning stage yourself it may even have crossed your mind as being a jolly good idea.  The plot twist of many romantic novels – think daring rendevouz with an unsuitable beau and a moonlit dash to Gretna Green by horse & carriage with cross relatives in hot pursuit! Alright, maybe I’ve watched a little too much ‘Poldark’ and it didn’t work out quite as planned for Downton Abbey’s Lady Sybil when she first tried to run away with the chauffeur, but elopement weddings are definitely gaining popularity.

I’ll admit to being a little biased when it comes to weddings. Obviously I’m going to say that the wedding photography is the most important thing to get right! Ok, perhaps the dress is uber important too (and I’m assuming you’ve chosen the right partner!) but it’s a big decision. Your wedding day will go by in a flash and your wedding photographs may be your only real memories from one of the most special days of your life. With all that in mind, here are our top 10 tips for choosing the right photographer for you:

2017 Wedding Photography Highlights

How fast is January whizzing by?! Christmas seems like months ago and we’re looking forward to another year of  beautiful wedding photography in Cornwall, Devon and beyond this year. But 2017 was fabulous as well and we even managed to visit some of our favourite venues several times!
We’ve spent the afternoon compiling a few of our favourite images from some of our lovely 2017 weddings! Some are posed, most are not, but each image has our signature natural, romantic and bespoke style. Thank you 2017 brides & grooms – and thank you to all of the hard-working wedding co-ordinators that we had the pleasure of working with. We loved you all!! (more…)

Tom & Lydia at The Carbis Bay Hotel

Our very last wedding of 2017, a tiny occasion with just Tom, Lydia, their two guests and their beautiful baby!  The days between Christmas and New Year can be a bit dull even in beautiful Cornwall (collapsing on the sofa with a box of choccies can sometimes lose its charm…) so I was super pleased when Tom booked me for their wedding.  Everything was casual, the Carbis Bay Hotel looked beautifully Christmassy and even the weather behaved itself.  Bit of a fresh breeze(!) and the sea was having a tantrum, but Tom & Lydia were happy to brave the beach!  We wish them every happiness for a fabulous future 🙂 (more…)

Another gorgeous Carbis Bay Hotel wedding. This time at the end of a very busy summer season, when the hotel and beach were full of holiday makers enjoying the spectacular surroundings. It’s a definite perk of being recommended wedding photographer at the Carbis Bay Hotel that we get to see the bay in all its glory throughout the year.
