LAUREN & ALEX
A MAWNAN SMITH WEDDING, CORNWALL.
ALTERNATIVE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
AS A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN CORNWALL I’M ALWAYS WARY ABOUT UNVEILING BEAUTIFUL PLACES TO THE MASSES BECAUSE DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IT CAN BE ABSOLUTE CHAOS - THE ROADS ARE LIKE KIM JONG UN’S CLOGGED ARTERIES, THE CAR PARKS ARE FULL, EATING OUT IS A NIGHTMARE AND THE PRICES SOAR FOR THOSE WANTING A LITTLE STAY-CATION. OBVIOUSLY THE FLIP SIDE IT’S GREAT FOR THE ECONOMY BUT I FEAR I’M TURNING INTO ONE OF THOSE GRUMPY LOCALS THAT, ONCE UPON A TIME, I USED TO CRITICISE FOR BEING SO INSULAR. THEREFORE, I PLEDGE HERE AND NOW THAT I NEED TO SNAP OUT OF IT AND BE A LITTLE MORE BENEVOLENT TO ‘EMITS’(CORNISH FOR ANYONE WHO ISN’T FROM HERE), SHARING IS CARING AFTER ALL.
LAUREN AND ALEX GOT MARRIED IN THE BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE OF MAWNAN SMITH WHICH ISN’T ON THE RADAR OF THE MAJORITY AND CERTAINLY NOT A RENOWNED DESTINATION LIKE PADSTOW OR NEWQUAY. THEIR RECEPTION WAS A MARQUEE IN A FIELD WITH THE MOST INCREDIBLE VIEW OF THE HELFORD RIVER. IT WAS PICTURE PERFECT AND THE PERFECT ADVERT FOR THE COUNTY’S TOURIST BOARD. THEY HAD IT ALL; AWESOME WEATHER (SOMETHING WE BRITS TALK ABOUT CONSTANTLY), A BUZZY VIBE THAT NEVER EBBED, CRACKING FODDER, AWESOME TUNES, FIREWORKS AND, THE CHERRY ON THE CAKE - CHURROS. JUST ‘ANDSOME AS THEY SAY DOWN THESE HERE PARTS.
AS YOU’VE PROBABLY FIGURED OUT FOR YOURSELVES, I’M NO WRITER SO I’LL LET THE PICS DO THE TALKING. ENJOY!
