Wonderful Exmoor winter wedding in Somerset

Hi,
Couldn’t wait to share the gorgeous wedding photos from Ashley & David’s New Year wedding in Dulverton, Somerset. They’re such a fun and loving couple who didn’t let the weather dampen their enjoyment of the day. The candel lit wedding ceremony was breathtaking and a real challenge as well as a great opportunity for some really atmospheric photos.

Abigail & Paul’s Devon Christmas wedding

I hope everyone had a lovely festive period and New Year celebrations and now back to real life. I’m really looking forward to the year ahead with so many fantastic weddings to look forward to and so many great photographs to take!

Thought I’d share a few photos from Abi and Paul’s christmas wedding near Brixham in Torbay Devon. Though the weather was far from favourable they had a lovely wedding day and all the guests joined into the festive atmosphere of the day.

Sneak preview of Alister and Hannah’s Devon Christmas wedding

Just wanted to share a few of the photos from Alister and Hannah’s beautiful Christmas wedding. Following their ceremony in Plymouth with Hannah given away by her father, everyone travelled on to the reception held at the Kitley House Country Hotel near Yealmpton in Devon.

Hannah looked stunning in her vintage inspired dress and the guests had a fantastic day.

I wish them every success for their future together.

Abi & Paul’s Torbay beach engagement shoot

What a great time I had photographing Abi & Paul’s engagement shoot prior to their Christmas wedding near Brixham, Devon later in the year. I’m sure you’ll all agree they look great and much in love.

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding day.

My wedding photo of the day

I was going through the many weddings I’ve photographed over the years and realised how exciting it is to view photographs with fresh eyes. Yes they all show my tell tale signs of painterly colour, use of ambient light and atmospheric quality but I can also see how my style and work has evolved.

This particular photo was from a winter wedding on Dartmoor. The day was cold but crisp and the marriage service started just as the light was fading. The reception was held on the high moor and the brides first dance was sung by the original composer and singer of a very well know and popular song – who also happened to be her uncle!

I’ll always remember it as it was amazing and reminds me again why I love weddings so much!

Sunny October wedding of George & James in Devon

Wow the sun really did shine for George & James at the weekend! With one of the hottest days of the year – in October! The ceremony was held in the idylic setting of St Bartholomew Church in Cadleigh, Devon with the reception at the stunning new wedding venue of The Corn Barn near Cullompton.

What a wonderful time was had by all enjoying the last of the summer sunshine!

Somerset wedding of Vicky & Jon

What an amazing country house wedding in Somerset of a lovely and fgriendly couple. Their day went so well and their guests really made the day.

The venue near Bath was stunning and the romantic church provided a stunning setting for their exchange of vows.
