On Monday I had a great time photographing Susannah and John's wedding at Wembury Church and Langdon Court. The Christmas spirit overflowed the weekend for a fun gathering of family, friends and good cheer. Wembury Church was as pretty as ever and Susannah looked gorgeous in a fabulously well fitting dress. John had a huge smile on throughout the day even though a walk on Wembury Beach was freezing. I especially enjoyed the speeches with some great Irish humour and everyone had a great time dancing to 'Jumpin' into the early hours.

Well, after a very rainy week the weather was glorious for Ruth and Asa's wedding at Tavistock's St. Eustacious Church and their wild Ceilidh reception at Lamerton Village Hall.

Asa was planning to use an Army photographer colleague for his wedding photography but was let down when army operations meant his friend was unavailable. He called me up from Yorkshire and in typical Scottish tradition drove a hard bargain for our services at fairly short notice! But I fell for it when I heard the plans he and Ruth had for their special day.

We had beautiful December light last Saturday that complimented Ruth's gorgeous looks and all those kilt colours and patterns. My new Canon 5D Mk II performed fabulously in the low light of St. Eustacious Church and to top it all we popped up to my favourite landscape venue Dartmoor for a few romantic couple photos and for a bit of private time for Ruth and Asa.
And then when they unleashed a Ceilidh band upon a very merry crowd a fabulous time was absolutely had by all....Mag and I included.

Karly and Duncan were hoping for good weather for their September wedding at the very unique Polhawn Fort on Rame Peninsula in Cornwall just across the Tamar from Plymouth. They weren't dissapointed. Lovely weather throughout the day, topped by a fabulous sunset. Duncan is a surf addict and didn't hesitate to get his feet wet!

Stoodleigh Court is a perfect stately home wedding venue. Louise and Rob came down from London for a sunny wedding day last Saturday. I enjoy photographing at Stoodleigh. The grounds are lovely and colourful and the Great Hall is creatively well lit. Rob and Louise had put together a first dance routine to the James Bond 'Licence to Kill' theme tune. We all loved it and were most impressed. Here are a just a few of my favourite photos from their very special day.
