The Barn at South Milton: Humanist ceremony

I was privileged to photograph the most utterly beautiful humanist wedding recently at The Barn at South Milton.  The ceremony was so special, with words chosen by the couple and spoken on the fields overlooking the sea in South Devon.  It was one of the most moving weddings I have photographed, and I was properly sobbing through the lovely speeches along with most of the guests.  The couple have chosen to stay anonymous, but were happy for me to share this image. I wish them both the utmost happiness in their future together!

A pre-wedding photo session in Teignmouth: Gemma & Jamie

I loved photographing Gemma and Jamie at Teignmouth!  Despite saying that they hated being in front of the camera, they were actually incredibly relaxed and a real pleasure to be with.  We had a stroll along the sea front in the evening sunlight and chatted through all their wedding plans over a nice cold drink.  Then we had a little explore around, underneath the pier and along the river beach to capture some really gorgeous images.

By the way, almost everyone who books me starts off by saying that they hate being in front of the camera.  Most of us do.  I find it the most difficult thing ever, so I completely understand!  My aim is to help you feel as comfortable as possible, usually to the point that you sort of forget the camera is even there.  That's when the loveliest, most natural shots take place.  A pre-wedding photo session can be a real help if you are worried about the camera on your wedding day, as it give you the opportunity to see how relaxed things will be!  If you are interested in booking a session then please do get in touch.

I look forward to photographing Gemma and Jamie's wedding later this month - in the meantime, here are some of their pre-wedding images:

A lovely wedding in Taunton: Siân and Darren preview

The weather may not have been especially nice last weekend, but it didn't dampen any spirits at this beautiful wedding.  Siân and Darren got married at St James Church in the centre of Taunton, then celebrated with a gorgeous village hall reception at Stoke Gregory, with an afternoon tea and some determined 'sub-umbrella' croquet.  Here are a few preview images - and huge congratulations to Siân and Darren!

A Dorset pre-wedding photo session: Lucy & Scott in Lyme Regis

I have had the pleasure of carrying out several engagement shoots over the past few weeks, so I have a bit of a backlog of images that I really can't wait to blog!  For now, here is a very quick peek at Lucy and Scott's lovely photo session in Lyme Regis yesterday.  I'm really looking forward to photographing their village fete themed wedding at River Cottage in September!  I came home with so many gorgeous images yesterday, but I particularly loved these two:
