Busy Wedding Photographers in Cornwall

This year is flying by and August has been an extremely busy, successful month. Having covered weddings at venues such as Boscundle Manor, St Austell, Tregenna Castle Hotel, St Ives, St Buryan Church, St Gluvias Curch, Penryn, Lands End Hotel, Porthminster Hotel, St Ives, St Michael’s Hotel, Falmouth with marquees that have been supplied by Absolute Canvas and Bodmin Marquees – lots of hours photographing weddings and many hours spent by Leon post processing all of the captured images. We have worked to within our quoted time schedules and in addition we have received orders for our designer wedding albums, so the pressure has most certainly been high but we have delivered.

Thanks to all of our brides and grooms whose weddings we have covered, it has been such a pleasure to work with you all and many many thanks for all the appreciative emails and phone calls – always good to receive feedback.

September is probably going to be even busier than August as there are many couples who have yet to make their selection of photographs for their wedding album page designs – I have a feeling we are going to receive lots of orders which when added to the number of weddings that I shall be photographing – well all I can say is it’s going to be a mega month! Leon and I look forward to it.

Porthminster Hotel Wedding

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.

Kelly and Jaime’s wedding – Porthminster Hotel, St Ives

Kelly and Jaime found me on the web and booked me to photograph their wedding at the Porthminster Hotel, St Ives having chosen Cornwall as their wedding destination.

I took Kelly and Jaime down to Porthminster beach before we all ate. The food was excellent and was enjoyed by all the guests who commented very favourably about the staff.

I feel so lucky to do what I love. Wedding photography is challenging as I am normally creating collections of photographs of people who do not like being photographed – exceeding their expectations is a real thrill.
