This has been an incredibly strange year for so many of us. This look-back will probably be the most unusual one I will ever post. Let’s see…

Please choose your wedding photographer carefully
Sometimes people recommend someone for a job and they do so with the very best intentions. Sometimes, those thoughtful intentions could cause big problems. In this case, I want to talk about wedding photographers being ‘recommended’ in Facebook groups.

Another incredible wedding at Larkbeare House in Exeter, Devon
I was the wedding photographer for a lovely couple, Christine and Micheal, who were married at the wonderful Larkbeare House in Exeter, followed by a cosy wedding reception at the Exeter Golf and Country Club. This is how the day went…

One year ago, at the Gipsy Hotel in Exeter, Kevin and Shirley were married. I cannot believe how quickly that year has gone by and also amazed at everything that’s happened to the planet since then.
They wanted a 1 year wedding anniversary photoshoot at the hotel but because of the lockdown, it wasn’t possible. Instead, I suggested the impressive Oldway Mansion in Paignton as the location for the shoot.
We met up precisely one year on and we went around the grounds, taking photos at different points. It was busy so I tried to position them in front of other people, or blurred out the background so nothing was a distraction.
Congratulations to you both!
Happy Anniversary Lauren and Phillip
This month a year ago Lauren and Phillip were married at the Hayloft at Cockington court in Torquay, Devon. I would like to wish them a very happy Anniversary!
If you’re looking for a wedding towards the end of this year or anytime next year, please book soon. It is going to be a very busy wedding session!

Is it just the wedding photography industry refusing to return deposits?
Why not end the week with a highly controversial topic? I have access to several closed groups for wedding photographers (global, not just the UK). I am surprised at how many wedding photographers are point blank refusing to refund ‘any’ retainer/booking fee/deposit due to the wedding couple having to cancel their dream wedding because COVID-19 has prevented it from going ahead…

Wedding photography at Greenway House, Galmpton

Rustic ceremony at the CowShed, Millbrook, Cornwall
If you’re ever after a rustic venue, with lovely grounds and close to some nice coastal scenery, the Cow Shed at the Freathy Farmhouse in Cornwall is worth looking into.
Situated in Millbrook, the farmhouse is close to the Devon border so it was an easy drive from Torbay to the FarmHouse. The grounds are amazing and the people there are so kind. You’ll need to like dogs though, they have several, but those dogs are kept out of the way so you rarely see them.
