Bovey Castle, and finally some sunshine! - 29/07/09
We were up at 6am last Saturday to travel to Bovey Castle on the edge of Dartmoor National Park for the marriage of Annabel and Alex.
We had only ever had email contact with them both as they were living in Holland, and even though we had never spoken in person or on the phone we could tell from the couples laid back attitude this was going to be a great wedding!
We always love going to new locations, and this was our first time photographing at Bovey Castle. We were met by Jade the wedding coordinator, who is absolutely fantastic. She gave us the guided tour of the Castle and its grounds and made sure that we knew exactly where we were going and at what time.
Highlights of the day for us, were exploring the many photo opportunities with the couple, of which a couple can be seen in the photos, a Magician entertaining the wedding party before the wedding breakfast, and the 13th hole golf competition where all the wedding party had three balls to (hopefully) hit over a hill a lake and onto the green. The closest to the hole won a bottle of Champagne.
Bovey Castle ranks as one of our favourite locations in the South West to photograph, thanks not only to the visual impact of the Castle and the grounds but the wonderful staff.
Thanks again to both Annabel and Alex, their friends and families for making us feel so welcome, and we wish you all the very best in the future.
