Nicky & Chris at Langdon Court Hotel – Devon Wedding Photographers

24 June 2016 / Blog

Nicky and Chris’ wedding was a real treat because I already knew them pretty well. From first meeting them at the Royal Cornwall Show, then the family photoshoot on Plymouth Hoe with their gorgeous girls, we were definitely looking forward to their wedding!

Nicky had chosen a fresh spring flowers theme and was rewarded with bright spring sunshine and blue sky on the day. Two very excited girls couldn’t wait to get into their princess dresses to look like their Mum, who wore a beautiful lace trimmed shorter-length dress. Nicky was so calm she was an absolute masterclass in bridal serenity! And I have to say that Chris was very laid-back too 🙂

Langdon Court is a fabulous venue and after the ceremony the guests enjoyed drinks outside while we took some photos in the beautiful gardens. Speeches followed and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room when one of the girls read out the poem she had written titled ‘wedding’.

A beautiful day with such friendly people it was an absolutely joy to be a part of. Nicky & Chris (and girls!) we wish you all the best for a long and happy future together 🙂

Bride & Groom with Black Swans on Portreath Beach

10 May 2016 / Blog

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 🙂

Bark Online? Just give us a call…

7 April 2016 / Blog

Just a little bit of info about ‘Bark’ online tendering. We are getting on average 3 emails through each day from ‘Bark Team’ regarding potential wedding customers, and so are many other photographers.
What customers may not know is that it would cost us £10 to reply to each email, with no guarantee of getting the job or even getting a response from the customer.
Absolutely no disrespect to Bark. For large companies and other industries this is probably ok, but as the majority of wedding suppliers are small businesses it makes more sense to contact them directly. That way you are guaranteed to get a reply, and even better they can tell you all about their latest special offers!

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

15 March 2016 / Blog

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! 😀

Liz & Geoff at The Harbour Hotel in St Ives

13 February 2016 / Blog

Last July we spent a fun afternoon photographing Liz & Geoff’s wedding in the stunning venue of The Harbour Hotel in St Ives. Liz & Geoff had made the decision to walk down the aisle together, and to get ready together too. Geoff did look slightly out of his comfort zone in a room full of bridal preparations and then helping to lace up Liz’s beautiful dress, but he coped splendidly!

The weather was kind to us – how fantastic are those skies?! – and after the laid-back ceremony everyone rushed to the beach for a sneaky ice-cream or paddle. Days like this don’t get much better, and we always say that being wedding photographers in Cornwall is the most enjoyable job 🙂

Since then we’ve put together a couple of wonderful storybooks for the family, which reminded us all over again what a lovely day it had been. Liz & Geoff we wish you all the very best for a very happy life together 🙂

To hire or not to hire……

16 January 2016 / Blog

A professional wedding photographer to cover your wedding that is!

Ok I admit it’s a well debated topic, and one that will probably never go away. Our views are obvious. Not least because (a) its our livelihood (b) we trained for it & spend a fortune on kit & insurance etc and (c) we’ve seen lots of ‘my friend has a camera’ photos and usually they ain’t pretty. But do people really believe that not hiring a professional is a good way to save money?

My standard reply at wedding fairs to anyone who says “my friend is doing it…she’s got a camera and takes nice pictures of flowers/cars/cats..” is to mention that I have a sewing machine at home and make nice bunting…but I wouldn’t dream of making a wedding dress. Oh yes I know my limitations.

So naturally I was surprised when Vogue magazine (you know…that glossy magazine full of glossy professionally taken pictures…) said it wasn’t worth hiring a pro. Fortunately for us we’re in demand, which means there are lots of sensible couples out there. One bride from Australia shares the same view and replied to Vogue by posting a selfie next to a shot taken by her hired professional at the same time. This article sums it up nicely: http://petapixel.com/2016/01/14/this-is-why-you-hire-a-pro-wedding-photographer

Sarah & James at St Dominic Parish Church & Sarah’s Family Home!

11 January 2016 / Blog

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

Cheryl & Mark at St Mary & All Saints Church & Staddon Heights Golf Club

3 January 2016 / Blog

In May last year we photographed the wedding of Cheryl & Mark. I worked with Cheryl years ago, so it was fab to catch up with her again and meet her lovely family 🙂 A lovely laid back service at St Mary & All Saints Church in Plymstock was followed by a quick(ish!) trip to Hooe Lake for some photos. VW camper vans are always fun on winding roads and over speedbumps…but we got there!

It was the most beautiful day for a wedding and by the time we got to the reception at Staddon Heights Golf Club, every guest was outside enjoying the sunshine. And if you’ve never been to Staddon Heights I can recommend the views – they are amazing! The laid back approach continued with a hog roast & buffet, and we just managed to sneak in a couple of sunset shots before we left everyone to party on.

A great day for a great couple, not forgetting their completely adorable & cheeky children! We wish you both a very long & happy life together x

More photos of this lovely wedding are on our facebook page 🙂

Catrina & Clifton at The Carbis Bay Hotel, near St Ives Cornwall

28 December 2015 / Blog

Earlier this year we had the pleasure of photographing Catrina & Clifton’s beautiful wedding at The Carbis Bay Hotel. We did a lot of travelling about that day! After Catrina’s preparations (make up & hair at the Carbis Bay Hotel followed by dressing at The Mustard Tree B&B) we headed off to the church for one of the most heartfelt services we’ve ever had the privilege to photograph. Then it was back to the Carbis Bay Hotel, with a stop off en route at a country location to give them both a few minutes to themselves, and also to capture some beautiful photos of course!

Fabulous beach wedding photos, a full-on party (with our photobooth for added fun!) and some amazing fireworks on the beach ended a thoroughly enjoyable day! Catrina & Clifton were an absolute joy to spend time with, as were their lovely families & friends. We wish you all the love & luck in world for your happiness together 🙂
