As a wedding photographer, I had the privilege of capturing the beautiful and intimate wedding of a young couple at the stunning Caerhays Estate in Cornwall. The couple's vision for their wedding day was to celebrate their love amidst the natural beauty of the Cornish coastline, and their wedding did not disappoint.
I had yet to shoot a wedding at the Great Western Hotel in Newquay so I took a trip there the previous weekend to have a scan of the place and get a feel for the good places to shoot from. I had met the couple a few months previously and I felt we gelled well and would make a great team for their wedding photography. I prefer to have a good chat with my couples before the event so we can go over all the details and make sure that I am the right guy for them.
This year I got to shoot at the awesome Alverton manor hotel in Truro, Cornwall, and I just couldn’t wait what a cool venue. I had previously worked with the groom in a hotel in Newquay and they were an awesome couple that were very chill and easy going. Having me and the couple gel is always a big point for me for a client as I want the best experience for my couples during they’re special day.
This a little bit more of a personal post about one of the reasons I love to take photos, in particular weddings . This photograph is of a mother of one of my clients and she passed away the year after the wedding I believe. Just to lay it out there, "heavy" I know but its a matter of life that we are all going to loose our mothers at some point and if she is there on your wedding day then know that I am going to make sure I get a few great portraits of her.
