It’s wonderful to receive emails from people who have been browsing the web and in this case looking for an image of Cornwall. I was particularly thrilled to receive this email as the person was not specifically looking for the work of wedding photographers let alone wedding photographers in Cornwall. Such praise is wonderful to receive.

The last day of July I had the pleasure of travelling to Oxford to photograph Lee and Karrina’s wedding at Ardington House. I travelled up on the Thursday and thoroughly enjoyed the pre wedding get together when I had the chance to meet up with family and friends and enjoy great food and one or two drinks. The wedding day was fabulous a great couple, a wonderful location and glorious weather. Left the wedding at 10pm and drove to Okehampton where I stayed overnight and was close to Wadebridge to photograph Gary and Luisa Jane’s wedding the following day.

I will be posting on a regular basis but just wanted to thank all the fabulous people I have met at the weddings I have photographed so far this year and of course to my delightful brides and their grooms thanks so much for allowing me to capture the magic of your fab weddings. Wedding photography is exciting and meeting the many people is great fun.

The online galleries have proved very popular as many of my couples have come from abroad. People who couldn’t make the weddings in person have been able to share in the wedding day through the photography. There have been numerous thank you emails which I will be including in future postings.

Leon is busy designing the wedding albums and has just had a fab email with much praise from Kim and Steve who were married in July. Their album will be sent off for production later on and they are looking forward to seeing the finished product. I look foward to seeing them when they come down to pick up their album in the near future. Kim and Steve if you read this; enjoyed your wedding big time and am so pleased that I’ll be seeing you at your friends wedding in 2011. Look forward to that drink when you collect your album.

It’s Sunday, have just downloaded and backed up yesterday’s wedding and am now off to photograph a toddler at the studio. The sun’s shining and I’m really looking forward to photographing Amber, who I last photographed about 2 years ago.

My business is so varied and exciting – love it!!!!!!

Will be posting again soon so do check back for more of my ramblings.

I guess my reputation is the all important thing to me;  money and profit are certainly not what motivate me, creating the sort of images my couples love is. I enjoy the excitement of weddings,  photographing the  the many wonderful people I have met, look forward to a busier year than ever this year and look forward to picking up the cameras and shooting my next wedding. 

If you are a bit crazy looking for someone to create edgy images and want to look totally amazing in your photography I’d love to hear from you.

Best regards,

Looking at the diary for 2009, it’s going to be a busy year. In 2008 we secured more wedding bookings than in any previous year. The great thing from my point of view is the great brides, grooms and their wedding guests  I’ve worked with and whose company I’ve enjoyed.

I constantly aim to take my wedding photography to a different level with each wedding I photograph, always looking for the unusual but above all working to capture the personalities of everyone at the wedding.

Weddings photographed in Cornwall will be featured in future postings so feel free to come back to have a look. If you are planning a wedding please feel free to give me a call or drop me an email to have chat and discuss any ideas you may have about your wedding photography.

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.

For those of you that don’t know Porthtowan it’s on the north coast not far from St Agnes, in a valley and has a great beach which is overlooked by the Blue Bar - why not have a look at their website – get married, enjoy some beach wedding photographs and then party! Sound good? I wish Andrew and his team good luck with their entrance into the exciting world of weddings in Cornwall.

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.

I first met Janice some 8 years ago when I photographed her baby at the age of 4 months. I subsequently did a shoot of Janice some years later after she’d met Mark and then photographed her and Mark’s baby some time ago. Janice rang me last year to book me for her wedding photography; this is real customer loyalty which means so much to me. It’s one thing to do one job for someone but it’s quite another to have the chance to do several for the same person over a number of years.

I really hope that the weather improves, as the hotel overlooks Porthminster beach a fabulous location for wedding photography with St Ives making a wonderful backdrop for the photographs. When I met up with Janice and Mark last week after my wedding in Falmouth, they were keen to have some beach photography included in their collection of photographs. The photograph shows Porthminster beach in the foreground with St Ives in the background.
