What a year it’s been! 2024 was packed with beautiful venues, incredible couples, and more confetti than I care to count. As we approach the end of the year, I’ve been reflecting on my favourite moments, venues, and of course, the gear that helped make those moments truly shine.

When you think of a wedding at the Berry Head Hotel in Brixham, Devon, the first images that might come to mind are sweeping coastal views, romantic sunsets, and a touch of classic elegance. What you probably wouldn’t imagine is a cowboy and cowgirl-themed wedding complete with Stetsons, boots, and more country charm than you could shake a lasso at!

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!

This day was full of laughter, tears, and some incredible moments that I’ll cherish, not to mention a few interesting challenges.

When I was booked to photograph David and Violet’s wedding at the Toorak Hotel in Torquay, Devon, I knew it was going to be a memorable one. Not just because it’s always an honour to capture such an important day, but because it was going to be a little different than the usual wedding. Two ceremonies, an outdoor setting, and some last-minute surprises kept things lively from start to finish. But, as with most weddings, the unexpected makes for some of the best stories, and in this case, some great photos.

On the last day of July, I found myself at the Imperial Hotel in Torquay, ready to photograph what turned out to be one of the most heartfelt weddings I’ve ever worked on. It was one of those days where the summer heat is almost tangible, the kind of day where you don’t just feel the temperature, you wear it. The sky had a hazy glow, the sort that adds a soft, almost cinematic filter to every moment, making the couple’s big day feel even more special.

This venue, with its 275 acres of lush countryside and luxurious interiors, provided the perfect backdrop for a day filled with emotion, laughter, and a bit of walking on my part!

So, without further ado, here are the lessons that took me a hundred weddings to learn, which you can now absorb in the next few minutes. Lucky you 🙂
