It’s not every day we get invited to photograph a wedding where we also have to pack a tent, sleeping bags and a toothbrush! But oh did we embrace the opportunity! We headed down to sunny Cornwall on a Friday night, set up the pop up tent (all 15 seconds of it!) and set out to explore the beautiful landscape of the Mount Pleasant Eco Park. The eco park is situated at the top of a steep valley with stunning views all the way out to sea and across to a disused tin mine. A perfect place for a wedding!

Sarah & Josh got in contact with us way prior to the COVID mayhem so their wedding was well overdue. After a number of changes to dates and venues, finally their special day came and oh boy, what a day/night it was too.

These two looked absolutely gorgeous, Sarah with her beautiful champagne bridal dress and Josh with his stunning gold velvet jacket, these two were the rock n roll wedding couple of 2021! The sun shone down as guests flocked from all over to join in with their celebrations well late into the night…and the party was still in full swing when we headed off back to our tent in the early hours. Such lightweights!

We truly felt like we were part of their troop. Thank you so much to Sarah & Josh, their family and friends who really made us feel welcome. We had so much fun and loved every minute of it. Can we do it again please?

Upton Barn & Walled Garden is situated in rolling green Devonshire countryside with stunning unbroken views over the Blackdown Hills past the pond and fountain.

The site features a lovingly restored 17th century cider barn, stables and a secret walled garden, all with a crisp modern feel juxtaposed with charming original features.

Bianca and Rob rescheduled their wedding following several lockdown imposed moves and boy what a lovely day it turned out to be. The sun broke out, and lockdown restrictions were lifted!
…Although the Upton House team and yours truly kept our masks on when indoors!

The day broke with glorious sunshine and HEAT. Em and I set off to our separate starting positions - Em headed off to Bianca for the prep while I went to the venue to get shots of the boys getting ready. The venue was also being prepared by Rustic Love. The amazing cake was made by Daisy May,

Em had a lovely time at the bridal prep with the bride, mum of the bride, three bridesmaids and four flower girls all getting ready! It was certainly a busy house to photograph and the atmosphere was charged with excitement for the day ahead. Bianca’s beautiful make-up was by Laura Le Page.

At the venue, the guys all arrived looking very cool like they’d just walked into a Tarantino movie, all shades and cool outfits in blistering sun.

The sun continued throughout the day, but the venue has a lovely inside/outside feel and everyone moved in and out to cool down.

Upton Barn’s staff were lovely, discrete but always there when you needed them and the day went incredibly smoothly. Here is a small selection of the pictures from the day, which were presented to the couple in three complete sets, one colour, one mono and one with vintage processing.
