Where do I work?

I am based in Devon, but I photograph weddings across the UK and Europe. From coastal elopements in Cornwall to garden marquee celebrations in the home counties, from Devon farm weddings to weddings in vineyards in the South of France. If it’s packed full of joy, relaxed, a great party or in a beautiful location, i’ll travel!

Getting married in Devon, the UK and Beyond

Hey, I’m Amy and I am a Devon girl, and a wedding photographer. Being able to bring together those two passions to document and photograph your relaxed wedding day in my own rural, romantic region is a privilege. I love to shoot small intimate elopements, luxury full weddings, civil ceremonies, traditional church weddings in little Devon villages and civil partnerships for same sex couples. Devon is the premier wedding destination in the South west of England. I also photograph weddings across the U.K. and internationally.

Where to get married in Devon? Here are a few ideas!

There are so many wedding venues to choose from when looking to get married in Devon. As a diverse county rich in market-towns, seaside and farming history, getting married in Devon means you have the most incredible choice from rustic barns to elegant country house venues, some of my favourites are below:

  • Exeter’s Pyne’s House and Deer Park. Both gorgeous stately homes, with a classic feel.

  • The north and south coasts of Devon are lined with spectacular cliffs and idyllic sandy bays, discover hidden secrets and private beach wedding venues. Unique coastal venues Tunnels Beaches on North Devon’s UNESCO biosphere reserve, famed for its incredible coastal location, sunset tidal pool and BBQs! Read more about my time photographing weddings at Tunnels Beaches here!

  • If you’d rather celebrate your marriage in a national park then there is Dartmoor and its wild, open moorlands and deep river valleys such as the Teign and the Dart. One of my favourite Devon wedding venues is based very close to Haytor, Colehayes Country Park. Some of the best weddings I have captured have been at this glorious venue, both beautiful but also super-relaxed and doesn't feel like a wedding factory. Badger’s Holt is another tucked away Dartmoor venue with a laid-back friendly feel

  • Devon’s mild climate, coasts, resort towns and south coast English Riviera, the Jurassic coast and rolling green countryside make it an ultimate UK destination wedding location. You can even hop just over the Tamar bridge into Cornwall to beautiful wedding barns like Trevenna.

There are no additional travel costs for weddings in Devon, Cornwall and the Southwest
