It’s remarkable just how many weddings I’m photographing at Larkbeare House in Exeter, Devon. This Brides dress is possibly the best I’ve seen yet and Exeter University was a great backdrop for some of the following photos…

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…

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.

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!

Continue readingIs 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…
