Porthminster Hotel Wedding
August 17, 2008 – 9:13 am
Well what a surprise for Jan and Marks wedding yesterday - the sun came out!!!!! I could not believe my eyes, having been woken up at 6am with the sound of really heavy rain.
Anyway, the wedding ceremony took place at the Porthminster hotel, St Ives; I got there at 3pm to do some photography of Jan and her bridesmaids having make-up and hair done then the groom in his suit, prior to the wedding ceremony which was at 4pm. I think that Jan was the most stressed bride I have photographed in a very long time - at least she was when I arrived, but after I started taking photographs, having a chat and a laugh, she started to relax. It’s quite understandable; she simply wanted everything to be perfect.
There were about 80 guests, quite a few children and I am so happy that we managed to get some shots done on Porthminster beach as the Bride, Jan, particularly wanted some beach shots. After going to the beach and a few group photographs there was a buffet, which was excellent, a magician who went around the tables entertaining the guests then after the buffet many of the guests enjoyed the chocolate fountain prior to some fresh air and dancing from about 8pm.
Jan and Mark enjoyed their wedding as did their guests. The staff at the Porthminster hotel were very obliging and relaxed - well done to you all.
