Kat + Alex, Ash Barton Estate Wedding, Devon South West Wedding Photographer

Kat and Alex had an amazing wedding day at Ash Barton Estate back in October!

We met back in 2018 at James and Jessica’s wedding just a few miles away, Kat was totally owning her fabulous bump with baby Rufus inside, and Alex and little Wilf were owning the entire dance floor! Needless to say I was thrilled when Kat got in touch to say her and Alex were engaged and looking for their wedding photographer.

The Value of Holding a Wedding Album in Your Hands

The Value of Holding a Wedding Album in Your Hands

Why have a wedding album? I want to take you back to Spring 2017 - I was back home visiting my parents in Cambridgeshire, and my lovely friends and past clients Emily and Shane were visiting Emily’s parents, just a few doors down from where my parents live. We had realised this fine fate, and with their Sweden destination wedding coming up in August, we seized the opportunity to have a wedding meeting to go over their styling and ideas and most importantly the logistics and running order of the day. My Mum was thrilled to hear Emily and Shane’s plans (having known Emily since she was young) and loved asking questions about the dress, the food and all the other details. It wasn’t long before she went rummaging upstairs to pull out her wedding album from the mid 1970s, to show Emily and Shane exactly what my parents did for their wedding.

Mikey and Emily asked me to be their Cott Farm wedding photographer later this year, and decided to book an engagement shoot to get used to being in front of the camera before the big day! This was a lovely way to get to know each other, and Mikey remarked in retrospect he's so glad he had the chance to work on his posture before the big day! 

2017 What a Year!

2017 What a Year!

Does anyone else feel like 2017 was over in a blink!? I can’t believe how quickly this year has flown by, but I’d like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has shown support in the past year! It’s been a fantastic year with so many unforgettable weddings, gorgeous family photo shoots, a brand new website and even a couple of features on The English Wedding Blog and Boho Weddings.
