Kate & Paddy at St Mary the Virgin, Walkhampton & EverAfter at Grenofen

romantic wedding photos in the Dartmoor rainSo much fun, is how we’d describe Kate & Paddy’s gorgeous day at Ever After on Dartmoor!  It is the most beautiful venue with amazing photo opportunities everywhere.  In fact we had real trouble deciding which images to blog!

Kate has to be one of the most serene and chilled out brides we’ve ever photographed.  The day dawned bright & sunny and we ignored the rain forecast for later.  Robb headed off to the church and I hopped on the bus with bridesmaids and guests.  Full credit to the choir too, who sang Adele’s ‘make you feel my love’ beautifully during the signing of the register.

Carina & Kev at St Dominic Parish Church & Pentillie Castle

wedding photography at pentillie castleEvery now and again we photograph a wedding that has to be described as epic!  Carina & Kev’s fabulous summer day at Pentillie Castle was amazing from start to finish. Carina brought her beloved vintage VW Beetle and Camper as props for the day and was decorating them when we arrived. I must confess to being jealous here as I’ve always really want a classic VW! The marquee looked fantastic and Carina’s summery colour scheme of bright sunflowers and berry shades with lace on the chiavari chairs looked so pretty. The country theme continued with the table decorations of tiny green wellies and feathers, with each table being named after a gunmaker. (more…)

Bride & Groom with Black Swans on Portreath Beach

Occasionally things change and it just works out for the better.  At April & Richard’s Gwel an Mor wedding on Saturday we were hoping to visit the beach for photos earlier in the day.  A change of timings meant we had to delay the beach until the evening, and we’re rather glad we did!  There were five black swans on the beach when we arrived and lots of interested locals.  The natural reaction was to include the swans in some of our photos – slightly tricky because you can’t tell a swan where to stand, and they’re awfully big close up!  I confess I didn’t appreciate quite how rare these beautiful creatures are until the story got picked up by the local news & Pirate FM.

So here is an official photo of our gorgeous bride & groom – April & Richard – with five rare black swans on Portreath Beach in Cornwall 🙂

Rachel & Will at St Andrews Church Calstock & Tavistock Rugby Club

 

 

On a gorgeous summer day last year (yes there were some gorgeous days last summer!) we had the privilege of photographing Rachel & Will’s beautiful wedding.  Rachel wanted a quiet morning so we started our photography at the church, and said hello again to Chris the vicar whom we’re getting to know quite well 🙂  Calstock Church is a really lovely venue, and it was Rachel’s brilliant idea to use the rugby club afterwards – completely transformed with drapes, decoration & twinkling lights.  Rachel was serene & beautiful, and Will & friends were hugely entertaining throughout the whole proceedings.  There were some very amusing speeches to finish, and we really hope Tavistock has made a full recovery from the loss of its favourite bachelor! 😀

Julia & James at The Carbis Bay Hotel

 

Julia & James’ sunny wedding in Carbis Bay was one of those simply happy days that leaves everyone in a good mood!  As both Julia & James are music teachers there was a nod to musicality in their theme, with pretty musical note ribbon in the flowers and sheet music paper for the confetti.

After the ceremony at The Carbis Bay Hotel and photographs on Carbis Bay Beach, we whisked them over to Godrevy for some photos. The evening sunlight really made the water sparkle, and we all managed not to get washed away by the incoming tide!

A lovely day for a lovely couple 🙂

Abi & Nick at The Carbis Bay Hotel in Cornwall

An absolutely gorgeous wedding at The Carbis Bay Hotel!  Not a whole lot of blue sky, but we made the most of what we got.  Abi looked stunning in her beautiful floaty dress and floral headdress, family & friends were great fun, and there was a lovely relaxed feeling to the day 🙂

Fun With Sparklers….A Sneaky Peek at Danielle & Ryan’s Falmouth Wedding

Last weekend we had the thoroughly enjoyable task of photographing the re-vow ceremony of Ryan and the beautiful Danielle!  It took place at St Michaels Hotel & Spa in Falmouth, which I must say is one of our favourite venues for cornish wedding photography!

Danielle & Ryan were keen to have some sparkler photos…and we threw in one of our favourite led heart shots as well 🙂  Special thanks to Martin for assisting with the sparkler-waving – all that running around was well worth it!

Have a wonderful honeymoon you two.  We’re looking forward to showing you the rest of the photos when you get back 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.

Leni & Mike at Tregenna Castle Hotel

We rarely photograph a wedding without meeting the bride & groom beforehand, but with Leni’s hectic work schedule it just wasn’t possible. Several phone conversations later and I was really looking forward to meeting them both…you just can’t go wrong when you’re being booked on a recommendation and the venue is as beautiful as Tregenna Castle!
We certainly weren’t disappointed when they turned out to be the one of the most chilled-out couples we’ve ever met!
The day was just perfect and even the weather behaved itself.  Being a Cornwall wedding photographer on days like this is really the best job in the world, and the images taken by the pavillion in the evening are some of our favourites from last season.
