Emma & Charlotte’s Cadhay wedding

I really don’t know where to start with Emma and Charlotte’s incredible Cadhay wedding. I’ve photographed weddings at Cadhay in Devon before, and it’s just the most perfect venue. I love the combination of the beautiful grounds, plus the really gorgeous rustic Cider Barn, and the spread of allotments behind. It’s also got the perfect little garden area for an outdoor ceremony, and some really spectacular getting ready spaces inside the house.  

So, when Emma and Charlotte got in touch about wedding photography, I was so delighted! Not just because I love Cadhay weddings so much. But also because I photographed their friends, Kate and Kathryn getting married a few years ago (you can see their lovely wedding here), and they’d recommended me. I am so very happy that they did! Emma and Charlotte had an utterly joyous wedding day. I’m not sure I stopped smiling the entire day. Just a wonderful, wonderful gathering of the loveliest families and friends, and it was a huge honour to share everything with them.  

I’ll stop waffling now and leave you to enjoy the images, or I’ll never actually get them online. It was one of my favourite wedding days ever, and I really hope that you love looking through these images. I can’t wait to be back shooting more Cadhay weddings again soon!
