Escott Church & Reed Hall, Exeter | The Wedding of Francine & Andrew

This weekend i was at the lovely Escott Church near Ottery St Mary for the wedding of Francine & Andrew. As you can see from the pictures this was yet another fun filled day, especially with Christian, the best man and his antics :) . Francine & Andrew brought with them friends and family from as far afield as the south of France & Wales and i have to say how kind it was of Francine’s family to bring us some of their sunshine, if they could just leave some here when they return that would be even better :) . An amazing day was had by all, well all except for the 30 mins Best Man speech where Andrew was a contestant on a ‘This is your life / Who wants to be a millionaire’ game thought up by the best Man, absolutely brilliant, totally unique and hilarious… well for us.. :)

Buckerell Lodge, Exeter | The Wedding of Lisa & Ian

This weekend I was over at Bovey Church for Lisa & Ian’s wedding followed by their reception in Exeter at Buckerell Lodge. The day started off at Lisa’s parents where it was amazingly calm. It was lovely to again meet up with Justine from Finishing Touch who, as always, did an amazing job with the make up. It wasn’t until after the makeup that I got to see the dress and WOW, Lisa had a stunning Ian Stuart dress from The Bridal Rooms of Wellswood boutique in Torquay. I believe they also did the custom made jewelry matching the design of her dress perfectly. Then it was onto the boy’s who were treated to the biggest Sausage & Egg sandwich I’ve ever seen by Ian’s mum, honestly it was a foot long!
As mentioned the ceremony was at Bovey Tracey church where unfortunately I couldn’t get many photos of the ceremony due to restrictions imposed by the vicar… and for those that follow my blog yes it was another lady vicar :( .. That said I did manage to charm her into letting me photograph Lisa walking down the aisle and as long as i stood still at the back i could take a couple from there so all was not totally lost :)
Thankfully the good weather remained while we travelled back to Exeter for the reception at the Buckerell Lodge Hotel on Topsham Road. There the guests played garden games and chilled in the stunning lawns soaking up the atmosphere and sunshine. Think I’ve waffled on enough now, I know all you want to do really is to look at the piccies so here they are :)

Bovey Castle | The Wedding of Alison & Nick

This weekend i was back at the stunning Bovey Castle for Alison & Nicks wedding and wow, what a day. Starting off with Nick & the boy’s on the golf course capturing them in the bunke…err..getting hole in ones  ;-)   before heading back up photographing the girls getting pampered in the Spa before getting ready.. I always knew this was going to be a fun and action packed day and i wasn’t wrong, entering the ceremony room i was greeted by Nicks brothers all wearing HUGE plastic ears :) . Following the ceremony and afternoon cream tea’s their guests were treated to a bird of prey display which was amazing, really beautiful birds.. We then chilled out for an hour before the evening entertainment started with the awesome Joey the Lips band… these guy’s really rock! Here’s a few teasers from their amazing day….

Trevenna | The Wedding of Kelly & Ian

This weekend I was down in the village of St Neot in the southern edge of Bodmin moor for Kelly & Ian’s wedding. A packed church with approx 90 guests and with a nervous Ian waiting and excited Kelly arrived with the biggest smile. As time went on throughout the day it’s easy to see that Kelly & Ian are a perfect match for each other. Their reception was a mile up the road at the stunning Trevenna. Trevenna used to be a working farm but has recently had it’s barns converted to holiday accommodation as well as catering for weddings. This was my first visit here but I now have another venue added to my favourites list. Lovely buildings & views and relaxed and friendly staff that can’t do enough to make sure all is perfect. Kelly & Ian are both now sitting in the sun in Maldives, thanks for making my job so enjoyable guy’s, here’s a few teasers from the day :)
