Back In July, on the hottest day of this year, we had the most wonderful time photographing Bianca and Rob’s wedding day at Upton Barn and Gardens in Devon. Three months later Woz and I met up with them for a catch up and family shoot at Wellington Monument. The sun shone down for us on a beautiful autumnal day…tree climbing, leaves throwing….there were smiles all round especially from Ella their beautiful Labradoodle! She really knows how to pose!

Stunning wedding at Mount Pleasant Ecological Park
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?
Gotton Farm Evolves
Exciting times at Gotton Farm! Since the closing of the milking parlour and the relocation of the herd, Gotton Farm is in full swing with it's amazing transformation and happily we’ve been asked to track its progress. In the last six months, between an organic garden and a paddock, Katie & Ted have nestled a gorgeous hand crafted shepherd’s hut, supplied by South Coast Shepherd’s Huts, at the foot of the Quantock hills in Somerset.
‘The Croft’ is an ideal staycation for couples who are perhaps looking for a mini-moon or just a much needed break from it all (yes please!). Hestercombe House & Gardens is just a stones throw away and there are so many picturesque walks to take. Since it launched on air bnb a few months back, the shepherd’s hut has been extremely popular with only a few spare dates available during this summer…but with its wood burner it would be a cosy get away at any time of year!
