Thatched roof houses, stunning grounds and 3 choices to hold a wedding. Cockington is a favourite amongst couples getting married.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of the 3 venues, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.achurchnearyou.com\/church\/8913\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cockington Parish Chruch<\/a> is the most impressive. It is 950 years old and you can feel the history surround and comfort you as you walk in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a <a href=\"https:\/\/simonday.com\/\">wedding photographer<\/a>, the church is a little bit of a challenge because, like many old buildings, the natural light coming in isn&#8217;t as bright as the more modern, but less character buildings. Don&#8217;t let that put you off though. The ambience inside the church really fits with the mood and character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rev Chris(tine) was incredibly kind and nice. She answered the questions I had regarding my <a href=\"https:\/\/simonday.com\/\">wedding photography<\/a> but went a step further by showing me every part of the ceremony and where people would be during the different parts of the wedding ceremony. We worked really well together and I hope we get to work together again soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may sound silly, but I still get really nervous before each wedding. It isn&#8217;t until I take my first shot that I start to relax into my rhythm. I also don&#8217;t think it matters how many &#8216;checklists&#8217; you can have, I can&#8217;t help but worry that I haven&#8217;t packed everything I&#8217;ll need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After some formal shots around <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.englishriviera.co.uk\/things-to-do\/royal-terrace-gardens-p202303\" target=\"_blank\">The Royal Terrace Gardens<\/a> and Princess Pier, we arrived at the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/grandtorquay.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Hotel<\/a> for the reception. The staff were all lovely and the layout was really well done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Groom gave one of the funniest wedding speeches I&#8217;ve ever heard. Even I couldn&#8217;t help but raise my shutter speed to stop any camera shake because I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fun Fact: This is the first wedding where I got some wedding cake. People always say I must love wedding cake but you never get to have any, as wedding photographers tend to leave before the cake is given out. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like the style of my photos, please visit my <a href=\"https:\/\/simonday.com\/\">wedding photographer<\/a> page or phone 07828 467 753<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Camera equipment for this wedding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who are interested in the equipment I used for this wedding, here you go: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>2 x Sony A9&#8217;s<\/li><li>1 x 24mm F1.4<\/li><li>1 x 85mm F1.4<\/li><li>1 x Godox V1<\/li><li>1 x AD600 Pro<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was an incredibly lovely wedding to be a wedding photographer.
