Sarah-Jane and Ben were married at St. Uny's Church on the Cornish coast at Lelant, Nr. St. Ives. What a beautiful setting and what great weather we had. So much so that Ben and friends decided to cool off in the pool at neighbour Pete's house before walking up to the church.
Ben is a London-based actor (recognise him from The Bill or Holby City?) and he and Sarah-Jane decided to marry down in Cornwall where he was brought up and where his parents still live.
Sarah-Jane was radiant all day and both they and their friends thoroughly enjoyed being in front of the camera. We retired to the Pedn-Olva hotel in St. Ives for great food, entertainment and dancing. Even the vicar took advantage of the high spirits to bolster his church funds!
I took loads of great photos during the day and I know that Andrew from Memories on Film has hours of great footage as well!
A truly wonderful day!

Nicky and Martin were married last Saturday at Marlborough Church, Nr Salcombe and celebrated in Nicky's Gran's garden overlooking North Sands Beach. Nicky looked stunning in her beautifully flowing dress and Marlborough Church is a classic setting for an English summer wedding.
And how fortunate to be able to celebrate overlooking one of Devon's most pretty coves at North Sands. Their guests from all over the world have a day to remember.

Sue and Chris got married last Friday in Plymouth and celebrated with family and friends just up the road from the Register Office at the Astor Hotel. We diverted via The Hoe on the way to the reception for a some time-out and some fun photos.
Sue was give away by her grandson, Cody, who was in good form having slept for a while in the car in the morning. Sue's two daughters looked strikingly gorgeous in their red dresses and Sue beamed all day especially so when in the arms of her new, very dapper husband Chris.
A lovely day with lovely people.

We had the pleasure of being Andrea and James' wedding photographers the other week at their wedding at the Thurlestone Hotel overlooking Thurlestone Sands in the South Hams.
Andrea and James spent the whole day with very happy smiles on their faces which infected all their family and friends. I got jaw ache too from too much smiling and laughing.
We went down to the beach for a bit of time-out for the two of them and it wasn't long before they were paddling about and laughing again.
At the end of the afternoon Andrea threw her bouquet which was caught by her sister Caroline....fix???

Family portraiture is not a part of my business but when previous wedding clients Sophie and Martin called and asked if I would drop in on their new son Max's christening celebrations last Sunday I made an exception. As you can see Max is a bundle of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed my hour with him and his Mum and Dad. The little sailor's outfit? ..... yep, Martin is in the Royal Marines.

We had the pleasure of photographing Helen and Steven's wedding in Menheniot and The Well House last weekend. The weather was great and everyone was up for a great time with friends and family. Helen and Steven have been together for five years and decided a year ago to get married in the pretty village where they live in Cornwall. They were brought up in the area so plenty of family and old friends were invited to celebrate their wedding day. We all moved on to The Well House, Nr. Liskeard for their reception and one of the funniest speeches, from Best Man Enzo, that I have heard this year.
