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.

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.
