Nikki and Rob married at the old Singer Sewing Machine family mansion in Paignton last Saturday and celebrated at The Palace Hotel in Torquay. As Nikki's Dad said in his speech "trust Nikki to marry in a Mansion and celebrate in a Palace".
Nikki and her Mum and sisters had put together a fabulous day. Nikki's dress was amazing and we all had a challenge in not stepping on her veeerrrryyyy long veil.
Once again because I packed my six white umbrellas the forecasted rain stayed away and I enjoyed capturing images under grey, thundery, cloudy and totally blue skies!
Thanks Rob and Nikki for inviting me to be a part of your day...days like yours are why I love my job.

Paula and Mark chose pretty St. Petroc's church by Dartmouth Castle for their wedding last Saturday. St. Petroc's is both a challenge and a joy for a wedding photographer. It has no electric light and is lit only with candles. A lovely atmosphere but a bit dark for the camera. We can cope with this of course and delivered some lovely wedding photos for Paula and Mark to treasure forever.

On Friday, I had the pleasure of photographing Wendy and Finn's beautiful wedding at Cockington Church and the Imperial Hotel in Torquay. Wendy looking stunning in a gloriously flowing dress and Finn's party cut a fine dash in their morning suits which the vicar insisted were buttoned up correctly.
The weather was sunny for the congratulations in the beautiful grounds of Cockington Hall followed by a grand celebration for over 120 guests at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay. A day for some gorgeous Torbay wedding photography.

Victoria and Stuart had lovely weather for their wedding at St. Petroc's, Dartmouth and The Grand Hotel, Torquay. St. Petroc's is the perfect church for some lovely wedding photography. Paula looked fabulous in the dappled sunlight and candle lit church. We had a bit of a wait for the ferry back to Torbay but no problem one of the guests got out his banjo!
