Weddings in Cornwall

Wow! Thanks so much to the many emails I’ve received recently from brides enquiring about our wedding photography service. What’s especially good from my point of view is the comments about the work - believe me this is so exciting and many thanks for all the bookings that are being confirmed.

2009 is going to be an incredibly busy year and I look forward to photographing the mad couples I’ve met recently - I know that their weddings will be awesome!

Several brides have enquired for dates that I am already booked as far as September 2009 and to Tara, I would love to have photographed your wedding but honestly, I have been booked for 3 months for your date in August 2009.

Many enquiries and bookings have come from brides getting married at Tregenna Castle hotel, I look forward to documenting weddings at this venue, Tregenna has so much to offer couples getting married in Cornwall - the grounds are magnificent and there are some amazing locations nearby that I love to take couples to. I have a spacious and comfortable Range Rover to take my bride and grooms to their chosen locations - the sound system’s great so make sure you let me have some of your favourite music to play as you sip your champagne enroute to the beaches and St Ives.

Wedding dresses bridal wear in Cornwall

If you are getting married in Cornwall, even if you are from out of the county, Vu’s Bridal Boutique in Wadebridge are stockists of fabulous wedding dresses by Pronovias, a Spanish company whose dresses are amazing; Essence completely different from Pronovias, perhaps more simple designs. I have highlighted these two companies dresses because I have photographed brides wearing both and they looked really gorgeous. I will be featuring dresses in future postings.

Being a wedding photographer based in Cornwall I hear comments from my brides about the quality of service from other suppliers of products or services within the wedding industry. Vu’s are always spoken of very highly, a beautiful spacious shop with a fabulous range of wedding dresses and bridal wear to suit most budgets. Di and her daughter Hannah run Vu’s and are assisted by Belinda; they’re a great team.

Wedding Mullion Cornwall

Today after a portrait shoot at the studio I’ll be meeting up with Kirsty and Lee who are getting married at Mullion followed by a reception at the St Michael’s Hotel, Falmouth. This meeting is to finalise arrangements for their wedding photography and to do some studio photography of the two of them to get used to being infront of the camera.

Studio portrait photography is something that I am going to be offering my wedding couples; the added bonus is that a wacky portrait could make a great gift for parents and also one or two of the studio photographs would make a great introduction to the wedding day photographs in their album.

Wedding Porthminster Hotel St Ives Cornwall

Corinne and Damion celebrated their wedding at the Porthminster Hotel which overlooks Porthminster beach at St ives in Cornwall today. We were able to get some shots on the beach even though there were the odd droplets of rain. The wedding was enjoyed by their guests who had all come down from the north to join in the celebrations.

Although the beach was busy we were able to get down to the waters edge to get some shots of the newly weds. On our return to the hotel I shot some fun photographs of the couple with their friends and family prior to the start of the wedding breakfast.

Wedding Lands End Cornwall

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing the the wedding of Catherine to Chris at the Lands End hotel. Leon came along till the start of the reception and the weather was great. Catherine had emailed a list of the shots she particularly wanted so I worked through the listed photographs first and also took lots of informal shots. The cliffs make great backdrops for wedding photography and makes me realise how much Cornwall has to offer couples planning to get married.

I took photographs during the speeches and finished up with a series of photographs as they had their first dance which they had made up their own routine for. After their first dance the band started to play at which point nearly all the guests left the room because the the band were so loud - I like loud music but this was too much.

Cornwall wedding 2010

“We are currently looking for a wedding photographer in Cornwall, and have heard many fabulous recommendations about you”!

This was part of an email enquiry that I have received for a wedding that’s going to take place in 2010. It’s always good to receive feedback about what others think and have heard especially when it comes from people running businesses within the wedding industry which is presumably how the recommendations came through to the bride who sent me the email.

Wedding Tregenna Castle, St Ives, Cornwall

Just got back from photographing Beth and Steve’s wedding at Tregenna Castle, the views down to St Ives were fabulous with St Ives drenched in the most glorious sunshine - what great fun that was, met some really amusing characters who were really lively.

The weather was a bit too hot for all the chaps in morning suits, I was in a shirt - no jacket, but the way I shoot a wedding made me a little warm to say the least.

The grounds looked magnificent so we took advantage of a walk so I could get some shots with the Castle in the background. I covered this wedding up to the start of the reception and have a vary varied collection of images for Beth, Steve and their guests to view online shortly. Today has flown by and I have enjoyed every apsect without exception!

Time for a very large glass (or 2) of chilled white wine, with my wife Jacky, and a sit in the sun - fabulous!

Wedding Anniversary Coverack

First assignment today was a drive out to Coverack on
the Lizard peninsula to the Bay Hotel - wow what amazing weather. I took photographs of the Allans who were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversay and had come down from Yorkshire to meet up with their family in Cornwall.

I took a selection of groups and random shots of people looking fabulous. They really enjoyed the shoot and will have a collection of photographs of their special celebration that I hope will always bring smiles to their faces and a special feeling in their hearts. They have been to Cornwall on many occasions over the years and Glenis’s parents lived in one of the houses in the background of the group photograph. Cornwall did them proud and I hope and feel sure they will have a great day.

Next I’m off to St Ives to photograph Bethany and Steve’s wedding - really looking forward to it!
