An Elegant Wedding at Exeter Cathedral Devon
Cressida and Tim’s wedding had a seriously swoon-worthy royal wedding vibe and Exeter Cathedral was an incredible backdrop to their day…
With only a couple of weddings allowed to be held at Exeter Cathedral in Devon each year, I was so pleased to be chosen by this wonderful couple as their wedding photographer. Having grown up in Exeter, I know this beautiful historic building to be iconic to the city and enjoyed every moment of being able to document such an unforgettable occasion there.
I joined Cressida and the ladies on the wedding morning as they were having their hair and makeup done. I absolutely loved our beautiful Bride’s look for the day - fresh natural makeup paired with a softly swept updo, which she added a delicate pearl crown to. Cressida wore a breath-taking Mikado dress with an illusion lace back and satin button detailing. It appropriately had a Cathedral length train and she accessorised with diamond and sapphire earrings as her something blue.
After a wonderful ceremony held under the most incredible stain glass window, they enjoyed champagne and canapés and few toasts in the Cloisters. While their guest were happily chatting away, we snuck away for a few photos of the newlyweds in the Cathedral. I felt spoilt for choice with so many options to capture them against! The light in Exeter Cathedral was lovely to work with too, it poured through the huge windows which was ideal for my natural light style of wedding photography.
Their wedding breakfast was decorated with foliage, florals and candles. The Bride and Groom had crafted place names from a Willow tree from their garden as keepsakes for their guests, which I thought was a lovely touch. Their evening included lots of feasting, music and laughter with their families and friends! What a beautiful day.

I’m excited to share some highlights from a recent wedding editorial at The Lost Music Hall, a hidden gem in the beautiful Devonshire countryside, that looks just as romantic as it’s name suggests. This enchanting wedding venue, with its rich history and captivating charm, provided the setting for the vision meticulously brought together by the wonderful Fern Godfrey Weddings.
I’m so lucky to have the beautiful Pynes House right on my door step; you instantly know you’ve found something truly special the moment you make your way up their tree lined driveway. It was the perfect setting for Daisy & Harvey’s day, from their sweet outdoor ceremony, to dancing the night away in the Ballroom.
These two had such a great energy and were so clearly head over heels in love. I have such fond memories from capturing their day, scroll for a few of my favourite moments…
What a wonderful day this was for Kate & Richard at Deer Park Country House last September.
It was filled to the brim with luxurious fresh florals in pink and peach tones, candlelight and crisp sunshine between showers. Family and friends travelled all the way from Australia and other corners of the world to celebrate the day with this lovely couple.
I’m so excited to share more from this beautiful day at Pynes House last July. Julie & Michael had a French-English fusion wedding, with lots of their guests travelling to celebrate the day together.
I loved seeing the way in which they brought together the two languages, cultures and traditions to create a wedding that really reflected both them as a couple and their loved ones.
It’s always such a privilege to photograph elopements, and Brickhouse Vineyard in Devon has to be one of my favourite venues for this type of wedding!
Surrounded by their grape vines, the beautiful Devonshire countryside and with the barn as your backdrop, it really is such an idyllic spot to say your vows.
Leanne & Guy’s wedding at Brickhouse Vineyard was modern & stylish…
From an outdoor ceremony with their family and friends overlooking the vineyard, to a black-tie dress code and monochrome styling, this summer wedding was such a dream to capture!
Our wedding photos are often one of the only things we get to keep once the day is over and I fully believe in the power of print to help take your memories to the next level.
So, here are a few reasons why you may want to consider printing your wedding photographs…
Chris and Hsiu’s October wedding at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire was a breath taking celebration and such a joy to capture. The attention to detail was second to none throughout, from the bridal preparations in the chic Park Suite, to the perfectly styled and floral filled wedding ceremony, every thoughtful aspect reflected the wonderful couple perfectly.
