Keith & Ann’s Sacred Heart Celebration — Sun, Sea, and a Lot of Stairs
Keith and Ann are one of those couples who exude kindness and warmth from the moment you meet them. They’re both very active members of Sacred Heart Church in Paignton, so it was only fitting that this beautiful, historic church was where they chose to say their vows in front of God, family, and friends. I was booked for my 5-hour photography package, which covered the arrival of guests, the ceremony at Sacred Heart, and the reception speeches at the Redcliffe Hotel just down the road.

Weddings come with their own unique stories, and sometimes, a little rain just adds to the magic.

Larkbeare House in Exeter has long been a favourite wedding venue of mine. With its stunning gardens, elegant architecture, and intimate charm, it has provided the perfect backdrop for countless beautiful weddings. But this one was bittersweet. It was one of the last weddings ever to be held at Larkbeare House before it is sold. As I photographed the day, I couldn’t help but reflect on all the memories I’d captured there over the years.

There’s something special about photographing a wedding, but there’s an extra spark when it’s an intimate celebration like the one I recently had the pleasure of capturing for Lynsey and Anna. They chose the Bickley Mill Inn in Stoneycombe, Newton Abbot, a charming spot nestled in the Devon countryside. With only 25 of their nearest and dearest gathered, it felt like the sort of cozy affair where everyone knows everyone else’s name, and by the end, I think I did too!
