The sun shines for Donna & Matt's Big Day!

Saturday 17th July 2010

The sun shone all day long for Donna and Matt as they married at Tawstock Church at the weekend. Just before the bride arrived the groom together with his best men and ushers had a quick game of football in the field beside the Church. After the service and group photos I took Donna and Matt to a lovely old wooden gate near Tawstock school for some dramatic romantic shots. A marquee had been set up on the family's land for the wedding reception and everyone was waiting outside for the couple as they arrived to join their guests for the Hog Roast Buffet. Celebrations went on well into the night and the bride and groom left for their honeymoon to Crete soon after.

Gemma & Mark marry at Lynton

Saturday 3rd July 2010

Lynton Parish Church was the spectacular setting for Gemma & Mark's wedding at the beginning of July. The local couple were joined by family and friends for the service followed by group photographs outside the church. I then took the bride and groom to the Valley of the Rocks and used the magnificent coastline as a backdrop for some dramatic shots. The wedding reception was held in a marquee in the gardens of the nearby Staghunters Hotel in Brendon.

The sun shines for Tina & Wayne's Big Day!

Saturday 22nd May 2010

The sun shone all day long as Tina and Wayne married at the Northcote manor Hotel recently. The civil cermony took place in the lovely conservatory ajoining the hotel followed by the reception in the main dining area. I took everyone outside for group photos before photographing the happy couple in and around the beautiful grounds, using the stunning views of the countryside beyond as a backdrop. Due to the very hot and sunny weather conditions the cream teas were served under the large tree in front of the hotel so that everyone could stay cool!

The Fox & Hounds Hotel, Eggesford was the setting for the marriage of Jon and Lucy a few weeks ago.

After drinks in the garden everyone made their way back into the hotel for the wedding reception which was later followed by and evening party. The couple are taking a belated honeymoon in August.

A change of wedding venue for Tracey & Spencer!

Friday 7th May 2010

The Icelandic volcanic ash cloud has been causing havoc with our wedding couples again, this time with Tracey and Spencer from Weston-Super-Mare. They were due to fly to Cyprus together with a small group of family and friends to get married some weeks ago but due to fight problems they had to make drastic last minute changes. Luckily, The Northcote Manor Hotel were able to accomodate them last Friday and with just a week or so to go before the wedding they asked me to photograph the wedding for them. The weather didn't quite match up to that of Cyprus but everyone still had a wonderful time and as always there were lots of photo opportunities available in the beautiful gardens currently covered in spring flowers.
