Examples of some of my wonderful Devon wedding films
I feel so privileged to live in Devon. It has every beautiful location you could possibly think of for different parts of your wedding day. Beaches, coastlines and cliff tops. Woodlands, forests and green fields. Moorlands, waterfalls and rivers. Country house estates, Rustic barns, and vineyards. There are many examples of great wedding films in Devon.
One example is the elopement film of Hannah & Ashleigh. Their film captures all of the special details of their day - their cake, flowers and their outfits, it shows off the beautiful Brickhouse Vineyard and is packed full of emotive moments. The venue is stunning, the flowers were in colourful bloom and the couple’s love for each other really shines through in their film.

The wedding film of Cristina and Iura captures the beauty of the North Devon coastline with the most impressive outdoor ceremony location quite literally overlooking the sea at the stunning Sandy Cove Wedding Venue. I spent all day with them from morning preparations in the hotel, through to a private shoot on a near by beach in the most gorgeous early evening light.
