Well, what a year that has been! And what an incredible treat it has been to look back through it in wedding photos. After everything that we have all experienced through 2020 and early 2021, it has been a particularly moving year to photograph. The intensity of feelings has had me sobbing behind my camera…
Oh I absolutely love Burgh Island elopements! Burgh Island Hotel has to be one of the most romantic locations to get married. It’s an incredible spot anyway, as the tiny island gets cut off from the mainland by the tide. There is nothing there apart from the infamous Pilchard Inn, and the hotel itself. If…
Just over a week ago, I photographed Natasha and Danny’s incredible wedding in North Devon. They had their celebrations in a marquee on Natasha’s family farm, overlooking the countryside and North Devon coastline. I can’t begin to describe how fantastic it all was! It poured with rain for most of the day, Tasha and Danny…
Sooo… Zoe and Danny… the ultimate relaxed boho wedding day! I have enjoyed putting this blog post together so much. There was such a big build up to this epic day, and I knew it was going to be incredible. But it still smashed all my expectations. Zoe was a bridesmaid to one of my…
I had the pleasure of photographing Hattie & Tom’s tiny Cornwall wedding this weekend. It took place at the beautiful Budock Vean hotel, on the River Helford. Just the most stunning location! I’d met them both earlier this year, when I photographed Hattie’s brother Rob’s wedding in Cardiff. It was really wonderful to see them…
I have photographed a whole series of small family weddings recently, and they have all been so wonderful! Marie and Clive’s celebrations at River Cottage included. It was an absolutely gorgeous wedding, with just two of their siblings and families, and Marie’s parents. Clive’s other brother and family joined via iPad from the other side…
I am a massive fan of the forest, so Nikki and Mike’s woodland wedding was always going to be something special for me. I love the way the light filters through the leaves, and the whole feel of being in the middle of the trees. A woodland wedding has the most wonderful feel to it….
I had the most wonderful time yesterday, photographing Benny & Liam’s stunning wedding celebration in South Hams. They actually had their ceremony in July last year, but weren’t able to celebrate properly with all their friends and family at the time. Although not everyone could be there even now (in particular, Liam’s Australian family), the…
Yesterday, I had the enormous pleasure of photographing Adeline and Pierluigi’s beautiful Bovey Castle wedding. It was the loveliest, intimate ceremony, with just a few close family members. I was so delighted that they finally got to have their wedding, as they had to postpone their original 2020 date. This year, they were able to…
This is just a tiny peek at Julie and Simon, just married and celebrating on the beach in Cornwall with their family. They had a wonderful, intimate ceremony in St Austell, with just a handful of close friends and family there. Then they headed to nearby Par Sands to spend a bit of time with…
Huge congratulations to the lovely Lydia and Pete, who had their wedding at Froginwell Vineyard in Exeter yesterday. I photographed a wedding at Froginwell Vineyard several years ago and loved it, but I was really delighted to see how much further the venue has been developed since then. The focus on the outdoor space is…
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…
Massive congratulations to Sarah and Rob, who got married with an intimate wedding in Cardiff yesterday. They were due to have their wedding last month in Devon, but weren’t able to due to Covid restrictions. I was so delighted when they said that they had a new plan for a small ceremony in Cardiff instead….
An elopement wedding by the sea has to be one of the best ways to get married. Relaxed and intimate, with the waves crashing on the beach. It would certainly be high up on my bucket list, if I was ever going to get married again. NB this would obviously have to be to my…
Ohhh I’m so excited to share Immy and Leo’s Hauser & Wirth wedding day with you! I have recently completed wedding albums with them, and we decided it was time to get some of their images up here on the blog. Their wedding took place in autumn 2019, in full Somerset style. The church is…
Hooray for Louisa and Joe’s Christmas wedding! Hooray for so many reasons – mostly because they had already had to postpone twice, so I was over the moon for them that they were finally able to get married. But also hooray for me, because I’ve photographed so few weddings this year, with most of my…
Getting married in 2020 has been an.. er.. interesting challenge. Coronavirus, the lockdown, social distancing, all the restrictions required. The situation is so difficult for everyone, and I feel so much for all the people that have been affected. From all the different wedding suppliers, to the guests, the friends and family members and of…
It’s one of the very best things about weddings: the utter explosion of joy that comes with them. And it’s definitely one of the things that I love photographing the most on each wedding day. There is something truly wonderful about human emotions, and the way that our faces express how we feel. Every wedding…
A wet weather wedding day? What is one of the things that couples worry about most when planning their wedding? That ultimate British weather issue: what if it rains? Nobody wants a wet weather wedding day. But you’ll still have the best day ever, whatever the weather throws at you! You just need to put…
I can’t quite believe it’s already the end of 2019. This year has flown by, but it has been utterly brilliant, and an absolute joy to carry out. Putting this post together has made me so ridiculously proud. Because I’ve spent hours and hours, going through every single wedding I have photographed this year, and…
