Tregenna Castle St Ives weddings

August 10, 2008 – 11:02 am

Just got back from a meet with Lucy and Ross whose wedding I will be photographing in September. I really felt their excitement about their wedding. We met at Tregenna Castle the sun was shining and Anna of wedding flowers in Cornwall was there as she was bringing in the flowers for the wedding taking place there today – wish I was taking the photographs. When I got back I said to Leon that there was a wedding at Tregenna Castle later today and how I wished I was taking the photographs. I have received many enquiries from couples who will be getting married at Tregenna Castle and bookings are being confirmed so I hope to photograph many weddings there in 2009.

Lucy and Ross’s wedding will be good fun, about 110 guests so plenty of photography opportunities on their wedding day. I will be staying for the wedding reception and will take them down to Porthminster beach and into St Ives between the wedding breakfast and the start of the evening wedding celebrations.

Happy Bride’s Mother

August 9, 2008 – 4:31 pm

This was received from Beth’s mother, Judy. I photographed Beth’s wedding at the end of July at Tregenna, St Ives

Dear Pervaiz,
I meant to write you a proper letter to thank you for being brilliant on the day of Beth’s wedding.    At most weddings that I have ever been to the photographer is not too popular, but you had just the right knack to get people’s attention and we are really looking forward to seeing the photographs from tomorrow.

Comments are always appreciated and it’s good to know my antics are well received.

 

Wedding Mullion in Cornwall Kirsty and Lee get married

August 9, 2008 – 8:35 am

wedding-cornwall_0.jpgKirtsy got married to Lee yesterday, a fantastic wedding, great weather and lovely people. Leon and I started the day off with shots of the lads getting ready and then down to the bride’s house where we photographed the girls having their make-up done and then through the wedding ceremony which took place at Mullion church. We got some stunning shots with amazing scenery, so glad the weather was good. We photographed the happy couple at this wonderful location over looking Mullion cove – truly breath taking!

wedding-mullion.jpgWe then went off to the reception at The St Michael’s hotel at Falmouth which was great fun. Anna Trethewy, Wedding Flowers in Cornwall, did all the flowers which looked gorgeous and Kisty’s dress is one from the Spanish wedding dress designers Pronovias. Kirsty looked gorgeous in her beautiful wedding gown and cathedral length viel.

beach-photography-cornwall.jpgAfter the reception off to Gyllingvase beach opposite the hotel for some shots in the evening – the light was gorgeous, then back to the hotel to photograph the newly weds first dance. Leon and I thoroughly enjoyed this wedding it was awsome and ranks right at the top of our list of favourite weddings and we have a fantastic collection of photographs that document the day.

Thanks so much Kirsty and Lee for sharing your wedding day with us, we hope that your photographs always bring smiles to your faces and rekindle all the emotion of your magical wedding in Cornwall.

Wedding Photographer Working

pervaiz-shah-working.jpgWhilst I was photographing Guy and Marie’s wedding at Tregenna Castle hotel, Mark the best man, took this shot of me at work.

If you thought wedding photography is boring – think again! This position is a great one for testing the strength of ones stomach muscles - Ha Ha.

Wedding bookings 2009

August 7, 2008 – 8:06 pm

Sorry to the many brides who have enquired for dates in 2009 that I am already booked. I have to work on a first come first serve basis because I am receiving so many enquiries for couples getting married in Cornwall. People sometimes ask if I can hold the date – sorry, no. I have done this in the past and couples have not let me know they’ve changed dates or have decided to book someone else I hold the date and then, no wedding.

2009 will be a brilliant year and is going to be really good fun looking at the weddings booked so far and the couples I’ve met.

Budget is something that many people are concerned about – whatever your wedding is going to cost the  wedding rings and photographs will be all that’s tangibly left after the wedding day. There’s so much advice from so many new wedding web sites that are appearing on a regular basis all teling couples who the best suppliers are, sadly the vast majority are on a payment basis and a listing doesn’t mean that the supplier is necessarily good it means they’ve paid to be listed. I know because I get so many emails asking me to list my business on directories. Just shows how popular Cornwall is for weddings!

Leon will cover through to the start of the wedding breakfast and I will continue to the newly wed’s first dance – really looking forward to their wedding and I know that they are very excited about their wedding day – I hope it will be the wedding of their dreams!

Weddings in Cornwall

August 6, 2008 – 8:02 pm

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

August 5, 2008 – 8:59 pm

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

August 5, 2008 – 7:39 am

studio-photography-wedding-couple.jpgToday 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.
