KISS Wedding Photography

Kiss Photography were back at the beautiful Tregenna Castle again today. The sun was shining and the wedding was to be outside! Claire was marrying Scott!

Such a great couple! Claire’s room this morning was a hive of activity with four bridesmaids getting ready, and friends. Claire was cool, calm and collected and enjoying the moment. It was great.

With her Cinderella shoes she looked every much the fairytale once she put on her amazing dress. Her flowers were stunning, in deep blues and yellows and the bridesmaid’s wore royal blue. The wedding party looked fantastic!

The service was emotional and I think everyone had a tear in their eyes and the sun just shone and Claire just sparkled with happiness.

The guest sipped Pimms on the lawns and a cream tea was served then we went to the beach for photos while the guests were entertained by a magician. It all went off perfectly.

I loved the ice cream wedding cake the couple chose! Everything was planned around Cornwall, holidays and beaches, the theme was  just right.

The speeches were fab and everyone was in a great mood, we snuck out the happy couple for a few more early evening shots and got some fantastic photos, the light was perfect.

While the children ran through the grounds with bubbles, the adults enjoyed the evening sunshine I don’t think Claire and Scott could have wished for a more perfect day.

Thankyou for looking after us so well Claire and Scott, and Tregenna Castle thank you also for another amazing wedding.

Two people so very much in love we wish you the best life together ever!

Yesterday The Queen of England came to St.Ives, The Porthminister Beach Cafe launched its book, the St.Ives food festival was getting ready to start AND Jacqui and Torq got hitched at Tregenna Castle! What a Friday!

Jacqui, the beautiful bride with an amazing dress, wonderful shoes and just so easy going, was just blissful to spend the morning with. Everything was running on time and yet not a timetable to be seen, it just all ticked along perfectly. The boys were having a laugh in the bar and getting some good shots with Ricky. In fact I have decided that the boys jumping has to be the best jumping shot I have ever seen! (so it’s been blogged)

The room with its tasteful sage greens, spring greens and creams looked stunning. The sent of freshly cut freesias filled the air. Lizi at Wheal Sara was the florist and they were stunning.

Yes it did rain, but we are never deterred, the service was held in Tregenna Castles Godrivy room and we decided to go with the weather, which in fact did clear up after the meal and we took the bride and groom down to the empty beach at 6pm, the light was incredible, the cloud formation wonderful and we got some great shots.

A impromptu photo shoot then took place in the Tregenna grounds early evening, by which point a vast amount of champagne had been drunk and a new dimension to fun friends shots was executed; brilliant!

We had a great day with these town lovely people, their wonderful family and friends, thank you very much Jacqui and Torq!

Sam married Phoebe today at the amazing Tregenna Castle in St.Ives. The weather was gorgeous and  the service was outside. I am a huge fan of outdoor weddings and Tregenna was made for it with its sweeping staircase and immaculate grounds.

Phoebe looked so very pretty in her dress with long veil, carrying cream and lilac roses, and Sam and his grooms men so very smart.

Under the layers of petticoats Phoebe sported a pair of dazzling red “Dorothy ” shoes. These were for luck in Chinese tradition, but also I thought a incite into Phoebes tremendously fun personality.  The shoes also made my day, and have to be the wedding shoes of the year surely?

At the beach Phoebe insisted that she could jump higher than Sam even in a wedding dress, and I think she did! She laughed with delight as Sam picked her up and spun her around and she raced him down the beach. She also threw her bouquet so very high that the air was filled with cream roses showing down on her guests, and she giggled with delight. We at Kiss Photography spent such a very lovely afternoon with these two and the day went so fast filled with fun and laughter. Hope you both have a fantastic couple of weeks in England before returning home to China, it was such a pleasure to meet you both. 

From the moment we met Karen and Vashti we knew firstly their wedding was going to be fantastic, secondly they were such lovely people and thirdly we really really wanted them to book KISS Photography!  The first two we were so right about and the third thing came true. So on the morning of 4th May we were at The Harbour Hotel in St.Ives with Vashti and Karen while they got ready for their civil partnership.

The getting ready was so much fun, the ladies had their own rooms that connected by a balcony. So we, the hair and make-up artists and the video guy could pop between the two, but they got ready independently. Both rooms were a flurry of excitement, friends, family members, flower girls and hotel staff popping in and out as the morning progressed. Karen and Vashti took it all in their stride and were just so excited and happy there was not one stressful moment.

I loved the fact there was two amazing dresses hanging up, pretty shoes and jewellery going on both sides of the wall and the love and happiness that surrounded this amazing pair was incredible.

Karen was making us laugh, and then cry practising her speech, Vashti was on top form with her winning sense of humour, and I can truly say we all had a perfect morning.

Strawberry Leisure campers picked up the ladies, after a beautiful first glance in the Harbour Hotel reception room and the two spent the journey together to get hitched at Pendennis Castle.

Karen wore a fantastic dress with the most incredible diamanté detail on the back and a beautiful ruffled train, while Vashti in a strapless slightly empire line stunning number. Both ladies looked a million dollars and didn’t stop smiling

Karen is in the Navy and the wedding had wonderful touches of her working life. A sword arch after the service, pudding to cries of “DUFF no hands DUFF” which basically means eat without using your hands in any way! ‘Fines’ after the meal which if I heard correctly involved lots of bottles of rum!  and yet the theme for the wedding décor was a soft blue and cream nautical, bunting, table runners, pretty  seasonal wild flowers, soft candle light, beach pebbles and the most fantastic beach cake made by Cake By Design.

We went to the beach for lots of photos and had a fun time watching strapping Navy lads pick up the girls, Karen’s Mum and Dad having a paddle, Daisy the flower girl having a quick ’99 ice cream.

The speeches were perfect, I don’t think either of the happy brides actually stopped smiling, at all through till 11pm when we finished. The band was great. What more can be said?

Thank you Karen and Vashti for looking after us, for being the easy going wonderful people you are, for making our working day so very lovely. Wishing you a lifetime of smiles and laughter together. Enjoy this little taster of your day! X
