Hannah and Mark// Epic Cornish Wedding

Eeeevvve, the pictures are SO SO SO AWESOME!!!! We got your email on the last night of our honeymoon and looked at them in bed with a glass of Prosecco in hand- what a way to end our first holiday as husband and wife!
We love every photo! Thank you so much for capturing the day so perfectly and bringing back all the fantastic memories. They may have even brought the odd tear to our eyes! Everyone said how fab you were and they've loved the Facebook teasers-wait until they see the whole album, it'll blow their minds!!





I met Hannah at a wedding fayre. Which is unusual in itself as I don't really do them, but had stepped in to fill a gap. Hannah told me about her plans for her wedding in Cornwall and I couldn't wait to hear more. Hannah phoned to confirm my availability before I had even got home and once the logistical stuff was sorted out Hannah and Mark confirmed their booking.  Now I have always maintained that good wedding photography is 80% good photography skills but the magic and undeniable wow factor lurks in the other 20% of just getting on with your clients, getting what they want from their wedding and building up a trust and mutual liking that means you can have a good time together and this shows in the final result and I love these two!! 

I went to meet Hannah and Mark in Bath for an engagement shoot.  It was raining so we ducked into a cafe to talk about the wedding.  I think I could have stayed there all day. But we headed out and had a nice time wandering around Bath. More chat than photo's as I recall, but that's all part of it!  Lot's of banter and laughter. 

So fast forward a few weeks and I'm on my way to Cornwall. And I do love to be beside the seaside, yes I do love to be beside the sea.....

I get a quick venue recce under my belt, find a nice beach bar and relax before a busy day at work.

I spent the morning at Hannah's parents house, with the bridesmaids and two kittens before heading to the beautiful church in the village.  After a lovely ceremony Hannah, Mark,  myself and their chauffeur headed for a little jaunt along the beautiful Cornish coastline.   I would love to say the beaches were deserted, but in fact there were millions of holiday makers getting crispy on the sand. Never has a bride been congratulated by so many people, Speedo wearing gents and overexcited children feverishly waving buckets and spades around, clapped and whooped.  We found some spots and took some pictures before heading over to the reception. 

Hannah and Marks venue could literally take your breath away. Situated in a field, overlooking a bay and the aquamarine waters of the Cornish coastline,  stood a lovely tipi marquee.  Swathed internally in patterned fabric, it was simply idyllic. 

Mark sang a beautiful ballad to his new wife, the speeches were hilarious and the whole day was utterly perfect.

Blue skies, calm waters, good friends and family, and for me new friends and this is just a little look......
