There are also great views from the golf course with tall trees and a pond where we captured a lovely moment of our bride and groom walking together, looking into each other’s eyes along this gorgeous countryside. The Hotel is modern but stylish with grey paint that makes any bridesmaid dress pop; this also keeps the history through its traditional design and soft colour theme.

You can also have fantastic photos taken inside especially as the décor and colour theme will match with your outfit and style perfectly.

● Saint Werburgh’s Church Wembury

St Werburgh’s Church overlooks the magnificent sea and Wembury Bay. On your wedding day, you can walk down to Wembury beach and take some fantastic photos along the shore, having fun along the sand with special moments shared between you and your newly married partner. We feel so delighted to have photographed a lovely couple’s wedding at this wonderful location. We took a lovely photo of the bride and groom standing outside the church with the ocean and Great MewStone island behind them.

● St Edward’s Church, Eggbuckland

St Edward’s Church has a lovely natural colour theme that will fit perfectly with your theme and is a great choice for your traditional wedding. As you walk down the path outside, the greenery is a fantastic place to have photos taken, capturing the special moments of you together with family on your way to the church. There is also a beautiful outside garden area where you can sit just after getting married. There is a lovely arch you can stand under at the entrance for a lovely photo of you with friends and family on your way to the church. We photographed a lovely couple’s wedding here, and the church looks amazing to have a group photo outside with all your guests as well as with the two of you just outside the main doors.

Sparkle of the Plymouth Seaside

There are lots of amazing views and places to explore in Plymouth that you could plan to visit on your big day. There are so many seaside and beach areas locally, as Plymouth is Britain’s Ocean City.

If you are visiting Plymouth, you could take a walk around the town centre, where there are many restaurants. The Barbican and the Hoe are also a short distance from the town. Here, there are so many attractions, cafes and scenic seaside sights you can take a walk and appreciate on the day.

If you love the sea, why not take a romantic boat trip after you are married, departing from the Barbican? There are also other beaches and areas to walk by the sea in the local area, such as Mount Batten or Devil’s Point. From these locations, you can also see Mount Edgecombe in Cornwall, which is also another great location you could visit on your big day.

Walking along the beach and admiring the beautiful scenery together after getting married will be so memorable. A special time for celebrating with loved ones and having those moments framed and treasured forever. The coast will always look amazing in the background of your photos.

Dartmoor National Park is another great location you could visit. With lots of Moorland and Woodland, there is so much to explore! Beautiful scenery to admire, flowers and wild animals.
