What a fab venue for a lovely Wedding! Orchardleigh Estate is situated between Frome and Bath. A stunning Country House with amazing rooms to enjoy. The weather was extremely changeable but we delivered. The gaps between the showers gave us some dramtic outdoor shots. Such a warm and friendly wedding with lots of love and laughter.
Enjoy.....
Love, Love Love this Wedding. Kye and Julia had such a magical Wedding. Two wonderful settings. the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Plymouth and then off to Medieval Splendour at Dartington Hall, Devon.
It was an honour to be part of this special day, and such a thrill to photograph with such amazing spaces to feed the eye. But also to capture such a wonderfully emotional day.
Enjoy....

Check this out! Autumn Colours and an edgy shoot with Smoke Bombs!
This shoot happend in the Autumn at Buckland tout-Saints, Devon. Organised by The Bespoke Bride Guide. It was so good to be behind this, great team work and my models Beth and Ben always make the shoot work!
Bride and grooms attire from TeAmo Brides
The effect from the Smoke Bombs worked really well, and have to admit this was the first time I had used them. Something quirky to maybe use for a Wedding. Adding yet another dimension to your Bride and Groom images.
With two different editing styles, enjoy the mix and feel free to comment.
Claire and Tony's Sunny Outdoor Wedding at Shilstone, Devon.
This fine Georgian Mansion lends itself to be the perfecy location for a relaxed summer wedding, nesstled in a deep green valley in the South Hams, Devon.
Claire and Tony's Ceremony was conducted within the walled garden of the Main Door of the house. A very intimate setting for such a lovely day.
Enjoy the photo, the Belly Dancing in the Marquee, and the lovely feeling you get from looking at such a lovely Summer Wedding in Devon.
A couple of weeks ago, Lauren and Oliver popped down to Salcombe to see me to chat about their Wedding Plans and to have their Pre Wedding Shoot. A dull damp saturday afternoon, but smiles all around as we went for a walk at Snapes Point. So looking forward to their Wedding at Salcombe Harbour Hotel. Pre Wedding Shoots are a great way to go for a walk and a chat and get a chance to relax and enjoy being photographed. It also helps me see what my couples are like together!
One of my favourite venues, always a pleasure to come back to Salcombe Harbour Hotel to photograph a Wedding. Suzanne and Saul live locally and choose the contemporary surroundings of this luxury hotel to hold their Wedding.
Being February the weather was very changable but with such great interiors the photography was catered for. We did manage to get out to the terrace for a few photos. Suzanne and Sauls Wedding was very much a party atmosphere with so many friends, a really lovely day and a pleasure to have been part of. Suzanne's dress was designed and created by Kate Walker Bridal.
Venue: Salcombe Harbour Hotel, Salcombe, Devon

This very very tiny Church sits on the Cliffs looking out across the Sea. Perched on the Cliff between Inner and Outer Hope, Hope Cove in South Devon.
I have been lucky to shoot a couple of Weddings here, its only been possible to get married here under special license but thats all about to change!
This featured St.Clements Church Wedding is of Michelle and Paul. Michelle got ready at her mum and dads house in Inner Hope and choose the little Church for her Wedding rather than go in land to the larger Church at Galmpton.
The sun shone, the Cove looked tranquil and we had the most amazing weather to capture some stunning images to keep forever.
The old Life Boat House and thatched cottages of Inner Hope provided glorious back drops to the photos, but most of all the evening sun and misty sun set proved too good to miss! This is a Coastal Wedding at its best!
Over the years I have had numerous Wedding Enquiries from Brides over 50........
Whats wrong with that? Am I agest? Nope nothing at all and no I am not!
Its such a joy and a pleasure to Photograph people who have a much different approach to life than those in their early 20's. Enquires normally take the path of " I would like to enquire about Wedding Photography, I must tell you I am over 50...." no shame in that, but its so lovely to shoot the day as I would any other Wedding. Why should age define us! Why should Bride and Grooms act differently. Wedding Photography from my way of thinking is capturing a Love Story, age has no boundaries in love, the heart is still strong. To capture the emotions, nerves, tears, laughter of a Wedding Couple is what I do best and there are no boundaires.
I dont know about you but as I have got older I have become more comfortable with who I am, and this makes life so much more enjoyable. Great photography, letting yourslef enjoy life and relaxing enough to enjoy your big day means that you will look stunning in every photo!
Below are a few examples, I have many, many more!
So if you are planning a Wedding and think youre too old for a Professional Photographer, think again! Lets have a ball.......
Shannon and Tom had such a great day, sunshine and beautiful surroundings. Langdon Court is nestled in a lush green valley in the South Hams, near to Plymouth. A historic Country house with stunning gardens and contemporary interiors.
Shannon and Tom met me at a Wedding Fair at Langdon and we hit it off immediately. Such a gorgous warm and friendly couple adored by their guests and such a joy to work with. The details were all there, soft pinks and crisp whites with stunning floral touches by Hannah Burnett. And to add to the party feel, Lewis Belcher (Magician) arrived to entertain guests with some close up magic.
The sun shone and the outdoor ceremony was a delight, fall in love with Shannon and Tom's gorgous Devon Summer Wedding...
A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to be part of a small group to Photograph a stunning gown called "Tuscany" designed by Linda Leigh Davey. Such a talented Gown Maker. She is now living and creating more beautiful work in Australia. We had rented a stunning Tuscan Palace for a couple of days in order to get the best out of the time and the light that this wonderful oart if the world has. The stunning Bridal Model was Italian and nw International Model Carolina Rossini. Stunning Colours of the Palace Walls, the lush green gardens and the Olive groves..... take me back!
Please feast your eyes on what was a very memorable shoot, and one I have taken great inspiration from many times over......
