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…)

Nikki & Tom at St Ive Church and Lanhydrock Hotel & Golf Club
Nikki and Tom’s beautiful wedding was one of those days that makes you happy to be a wedding photographer. The day started at Nikki’s parents home with plenty of bubbly on hand, and the boys met up at the St Ive Church, with handy copies of ‘Farmers Weekly‘ to keep them occupied until Nikki arrived. I should explain that they are young farmers! A special mention must go to everyone who decorated the church the previous day – Nikki, the Mums, the friends and everyone else who helped. It really did look amazing.
After the slightly quirky ceremony (vicar’s first wedding?!) I hopped in the Range Rover with Nikki & Tom for a quick detour en route to the reception. Nikki wanted to include her beloved horse in the day and had arranged for him to be at Respryn Woods. He was so well behaved – a quick attempt at eating Nikki’s bouquet was made and thwarted! – and Nikki couldn’t resist getting on for some photos. Its rare that your bride wants to ride a beautiful white horse on her wedding day so thank you Nikki!
So we were running a little late by the time we reached Lanhydrock Hotel. Tom made a beeline for his beloved tractor(!) which had been dropped off the day before. Its probably the largest wedding ‘prop’ we’ve ever encountered 🙂 Some quick photos outside and a speedy trip to the lake in the golf buggies couldn’t be missed though. The view at Lanhydrock is breathtaking and with weather like that we couldn’t ignore it. Not hard to see why its one of our favourite Cornish venues.
The cake was suitably themed – Tom is a dairy farmer after all – and the speeches were genuinely hilarious. Its not often that we’re laughing as much as the guests, but this time we really were! More guests arrived for the evening, more food was piled up for the buffet, and Nikki eventually coaxed Tom onto the dancefloor for their first dance. And when Nikki danced with her Dad afterwards there wasn’t a dry eye around.
It really was a fabulous day from start to finish, and we were happy bunnies when we drove away! Nikki & Tom we wish you all the luck in the world for a wonderful future together x

Sarah & James at St Dominic Parish Church & Sarah’s Family Home!
Yes ok you might have seen this couple before! Sarah & James’ lovely pictures feature as one of our ‘Real Weddings’ on the front page of the website, and on our facebook page. Of all the weddings we photographed last year, this one would win the ‘most chilled’ prize! Sarah’s family farm provided the perfect location for the reception marquee – and theres no denying the surrounding fields are an absolute gift to a photographer 🙂 Such a happy day from start to finish. Sarah looked stunning in her bespoke lace dress, and James was definitely one very cool groom!
A fabulous day for all 🙂 And I absolutely have to mention Amelia at ‘Ice & A Slice Cakes’ for making what was possibly the most delicious chocolate cake I’ve ever tasted !! 🙂
Good luck for your future together guys. We wish you all the very best x
Catherine & John at Pentillie Castle
Back at the end of September 2014 we spent our own wedding anniversary working……photographing another wedding! But we didn’t mind at all, in fact we had a brilliant day with Catherine & John and their fabulous family & friends 🙂
Pentillie Castle and Estate is definitely one of our favourite places to be. Our own studio is literally just across the road and how lucky are we!!
Catherine & John were so chilled about the whole day they were an absolute joy to work with. Every detail was beautiful, especially the brilliant Flowers by Catherine – flowers in muddy boots – perfect for a farmer.
The highlight of a Pentillie wedding is being driven around the estate in a landrover full of mud, hanging on for dear life and trying to stop cameras bouncing all over the interior! Its well worth it for the views though – such fabulous photo opportunities 🙂
We’re looking forward to more Pentillie Castle wedding photography this year, and this certainly was a lovely day for a wonderful couple. If you’re planning a wedding there why not get in touch. You can see lots more images from this gorgeous wedding on our facebook page.

Shelley & Dan at The Atlantic Hotel Newquay
Quite an amazing wedding this one! And apologies in advance for putting up so many images, but I just couldn’t narrow it down any more. We were worried about the rain on the horizon, but in the end it was the gale force winds that kept us inside all day. Fortunately the interior of the The Atlantic Hotel is rather fabulous so we just had to settle for dramatic!
Shelley looked absolutely stunning in the most gorgeous fluffy Maggie Sottero dress, and as for Dan – well who doesn’t love a handsome groom in a tux?!
We had great fun with a lovely Bride & Groom, their wonderful families & friends, and all in a fabulous location. It was great to meet Ben from Foster Filming as well. Its hard work being wedding photographers in Cornwall (honest!) but we love it 🙂
Lots of love for the future xxx
