South Brent Wedding Photographer Devon

Recently I photographed a wedding near South Brent in South Devon, not far from my home just over the border in Cornwall. The wedding was only a few minutes of the A38 but it was pleasantly in the small village of South Brent at a church and then a reception in the middle of nowhere, you wouldn’t of guested that you were just two miles from the dual carriageway. This wedding was slightly different to my normal routine as I did not photograph the bride or groom getting ready in the morning but instead got stuck straight in with the service and then onwards to their even reception in a marquee, teepee style!

The whole afternoon and evening was very relaxed and after doing a few marquee style weddings recently, this one include, it was nice to see the teepee style again, open fire and everything. Another bonus was the Hogg Roast as the meal of choice for the wedding breakfast at the reception.

A few frames of a lovely couple, enjoying the weather, company of friends and family and the devon countryside to its best. Hope you like. :)

Wedding Photography in Rock, Cornwall Photographer

A few weeks back I went to Rock on the North Coast of Cornwall along with Andy & Sam to photograph a wedding at Enodoc Church near Padstow & Wadebridge. The wedding took place at the church of Enodoc which is located near the coast and on top of a Golf Course, the church is tucked away to such an extent that it is barely visible from just 25 meters away despite its tower and cannot be accessed by vehicle but instead must be walked too. The church perhaps created a few logistical issues but it was also great to see all the guest walking across fields from the various houses nearby that they were located in. The bridal party then walked further again from their house over the hill, the hunter boots were out and it was a good event in itself to photograph. The wedding reception was then in a Marquee on a hill less than a mile from the church overlooking the countryside and the waterfront.

Shooting alongside Andy at Harrera Images who covered the bridal preparations, I was documenting the boys activities in the morning which included nearly arriving at the church later than the bride. I do say nearly, I remember a few stern words like ‘we need to leave, NOW!’ :) A friend of mine, Sam, also came along to help us with the logistics and shot a few frames himself, some of the wide shots of people walking below are his. The whole day was full of sunshine and smiles and the speeches were paticularly expression rich. And all was finished off nicely with a beauty of a Hogg Roast. Just what was needed.

Congratulations to the couple and I very much look forward to another wedding in the countryside of Rock and the Enodoc Church soon. Enjoy.

A Wedding at The Bedford Hotel Tavistock

Last week I had the real pleasure of photographing the wedding of Phil & Roxanne at the St Andrews Parish Church near Tavistock followed by a reception at the Bedford Hotel in the centre of town. Phil & Rox are a wonderful couple, made even better by two amazing kids, who despite an incident with a finger and a door were good all day and made for some super pics! :) As the reception was being held at the Bedford in the town we decided to go a few miles up on to the moors between the service and the reception to shoot a few pics in an area that has been special to them and their kids growing up.

The sun shone all morning and despite a few clouds later in the afternoon, we were able to have the drinks reception outside near the river running through Tavistock. The whole day was just lovely, relaxed and personal to the pair of them and it was really easy for me just to fit in and work with them both to create some good pictures to trigger later memories. The kids in particular created some great energy in the evening and had great fun with sweets, bubbles, cake and plenty of wigs to dress up in.

It is really rewarding reaching a point with a couple that everything just flows and there is no second guessing, nothing between you but the foundations for a good friendship. :)

Congratulations to them both and their families! Hope you like this little selection of mine – Phil & Rox will receive over 700 more! Enjoy. As always your thoughts at the bottom of this page are more than appreciated.

Wedding Ceremony Expressions

Often when I blog a particular wedding I will only put up a small selection of the pictures from the whole day, after all I can’t really upload and expect people to sit through 500-600-700 pictures from a wedding! + I don’t think my website could handle it! Instead I always show a selection of about 5-10% of all the pics, however by doing this I normally have to pick just one or two pictures from each event at the wedding. So many little things happen at weddings, lots of different emotions, people, events, moments and stories to tell, and this is one of the main reasons I give couples so many pictures. Who am I to choose their favourite 200 pictures, ill give them the lot and then let them decide, its not that I expect them to show everyone who asks 600 pictures, they just have the choice.

To illustrate my point I have picked a wedding from last year that I vividly remember being fairly expressive during the service at a church in Devon and remember shooting more than normal actually in the church just because of this point. How could I possibly choose from these pics below when each one is almost a story on its own. Yes together they build one stronger story, but each individual is one look, one gesture, one smile, all of which are stronger than words – an unspoken language if you will.

Anyway enough of my rambles for today. Hope you like and get my point. Enjoy.

Polhawn Fort in Cornwall | Wedding Photography

Polhawn Fort in Cornwall, is something of venue, I had photographed a wedding at Polhawn last year in December, however this time in late March, I was looking forward to a little more daylight hours, and the potential for a little more brightness in the images. For anyone who has been to Polhawn Fort near Torpoint, you will know what I mean when I say inside the main function room of the fort is fairly dark – which is no negative, in fact it creates an exciting atmosphere that coupled with some high ISO performance cameras allows for pictures full of character and emotion. The risk in shooting in such low lighting conditions is the ability to just use a speedlite flash, which with low ceilings and walls with so much detail, would just be wiped away by using flash! So keeping the flash in the bag, I am able to produce some much more natural pictures – its not easy – but with some decent gear on your side – your on your way.

For more Polhawn Fort Wedding Photography click here.

The wedding itself was very child oriented, probably the most kids I have ever seen at a wedding, and you know what, it worked! The wedding was lifted, brought alive by all the kids which on the most part where fab! They were happy, joyful and thanks to some people in particular were kept under control :). Its always nice from a photographers point of view when something is a little different and exciting at a wedding – and here it was the kids – great fun to watch and try and photograph in this atmospheric Fort. Hope you like – a small selection of my pics from the groom and family in the morning until the kids having fun in the evening.

London Wedding Photographer | Syon Park | Jumeirah Carlton

What a weekend I had last week, I really had nothing much planned, one of those final weekends off before the wedding season (at least for me) begins. And then I was chatting to a good videographer friend of mine, Ben Foster, if your not familiar with Ben’s work then please check out his website here: London Wedding Videographer. Whilst having a chat with Ben, he let on that he was off to London for a double wedding weekend at what appeared to be some nice venues, so without much more chat, I was signed up to go and shoot some wedding video in London with Ben. This was my first time at shooting some video at a wedding, let alone two in two days, but it was really good to do something different and experiment with a different creative media. They were certainly two fairly long weddings, arriving back in Cornwall on Sunday at 4am, but I for one had a great time working alongside Ben. When the videos are put together, I will share the links here.

The first wedding on the Friday was at Syon Park in the Great Conservatory, which was a stunning venue, as much at night as it was during the day. The second on the Saturday was at The Jumeirah Carlton Tower in Knightsbridge, London, again a super venue, perhaps not beautiful from the outside, but a fabulous hotel with so much potential inside, and it was pulled off superbly by the Hotel, the couple and the organisers at Perrys.

Having no official role at these two wedding was superb that I could just experiment, with some film and video, which I will share soon, but of course I also shot a few digital frames at both weddings, so for now I leave you with these few frames. – Hope you like :)
