Images of weddings at this stunning North Cornwall venue kept popping up in my feed and it has been on my shoot list for a very long time. So when Abi and Sean asked me to photograph their wedding there it was an immediate yes from me!
Steeped in history and set amidst spectacular wooded countryside, Launcells Barton is a family-owned exclusive use wedding venue in Launcells, a small parish situated near Bude in North Cornwall. Along with boutique accommodation in a historic country manor house a couple of beautifully renovated barns, walled gardens it has access to an ancient church if you prefer to get married there rather than outside or in one of the barns. Abi and Sean married in St Swithians Church. The church has lots of family history for Abi and was where her parents were married too. I love it when couples choose their venues with meaning or history attached to it.
I loved every minute of this day and we got so lucky with the weather. Storm Kathleen was whipping the Cornish Coast that weekend but it stayed dry until the wedding breakfast, maybe a bit on the windy side but that can be dealt with. We even had some golden evening light, not too bad for a stormy day!
I hope I will be back at this stunning venue soon. For now, here is a preview of Abi and Sean’s day
