🙈WEDDING OUTTAKE🙈

So at yesterday’s wedding we went for a walk along the beach to capture some cute portraits of my lovely couple. The tide was out nice and far (or so we thought 😬). So I’m doing my thing focusing on the B&G and NOT on the water!! When a surfer next to us shouts ‘you might want to move, the waters coming in’ and to my surprise it did, really quickly. Adam the groom leapt out of the way deserting his new wife 🫣 while Michelle desperately tried to get her dress up and scramble on to the rocks but was caught out 😳
Thankfully Michelle was ok and took her unexpected plunge in her stride. You guys rock!!
All in pursuit of the perfect shot! 😄
One of their guests kindly supplied me his dramatic drone photos

"Congratulations to Georgie and Cadan on tying the knot at the stunning Kilminorth Cottages! 🎉🥂 Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, joy, and beautiful memories as you embark on this new journey together. The weather may have been perfect, but it's the love and happiness shared among you and your guests that truly made the day magical. Here's to many more blissful moments ahead! 💕 " Cadan Crowle Georgie Crowle

🌟 Celebrating Love & Geekiness at The Horn of Plenty 🎲💕✨

On the 28th of July, I had the honor of photographing B&A's special day at The Horn of Plenty in Tavistock. Their wedding was a delightful fusion of romance and geeky charm, beautifully showcasing their unique personalities.

🦸‍♂️🌺 B&A lovingly embraced their inner geeks, infusing their wedding with enchanting touches like dice in the bouquet, superhero-themed decorations, and quirky cufflinks. It was a joy to capture these special details that reflected their shared passions.

📸 The celebration was filled with delightful surprises, including a talented magician who mesmerized and entertained the guests and an evening photobooth that added extra laughs and joy.

☀️ Despite a little challenge from the weather, the love and happiness shared between B&A and their guests shone through brilliantly. ☔️💫 It was an unforgettable day filled with laughter and cherished memories.
