Louise and Tim tied the knot late October at the fabulous Knightor Winery in St Austell. One of my favourite and most visited venues here in Cornwall as it’s a great place for a relaxed vibe wedding all year round. Photo opportunities are plenty with a woodland drive, an orchard, plenty of rustic stone wall corners, a wooden arbour …and if you fancy some beach photos, it is a short drive away from a couple of stunning Cornish South Coast beaches.
I met Louise and her bride squat in the chalet for their bridal prep photos. Nice to work with Hannah Symons for makeup and Melody Rose for hair again. They are always great company and are super talented. And how good are the Dr Martens boots!
The guys were getting ready in the main house. They had some problems with the handkerchiefs, how to fold them and put them in their pockets, no-one had a glue! Not even I and I watched it so many times. It’s interesting how your mind works, I often get asked how to tie a tie, but I just observe the actual reactions and clueless faces etc. instead of memorising the ‘how’… So keeping it short, I was clueless too! Thankfully Louise’s dad came to help…
The ceremony was held in the main barn which looked stunning with beautiful autumn coloured flowers created by ‘Blossom and Kelp’ and the fairy lights added a festive atmosphere. Oh and Roger Miners on the piano.
Gladly it stopped drizzling and the weather brightened up for some photos outside straight after the ceremony before everyone headed back in for their wedding b breakfast and speeches. The speeches were super emotional, a lot of laughter but also some tears. Still one of my favourite parts of the day to capture!
It didn’t take long to fill the dance floor with this great bunch of people, so much fun and great music by the ‘Busketeers’…
Louise and Tim, what a fab day to be a part of. It was hard to choose less than 100 images for your preview, I hope you like it as much as I do!
