Dartmoor Hotel Wedding ~ Hayley & Jake

This year, I’m lucky enough to be celebrating 10 years as a Devon wedding photographer! I’m taking a look back and sharing some of my favourite weddings. Jake and Hayley’s wedding was such a joy to capture. Golden hour gave us the opportunity to capture some stunning couple shots. My relaxed style is timeless and even though these photos were taken back in 2018, I think you’ll agree they are just as gorgeous today as they day they were taken! I recently met Jake and Hayley again when I was shooting Hayley’s cousin’s wedding. It was so lovely to see them, meet their little boy and take a few photos for them. Here’s a look back at their wedding day…

Hayley and Jake’s summer wedding on Dartmoor really was the perfect day. The sun shone whilst Team Jayley (as they had named themselves in our emails) celebrated becoming husband and wife family and friends. The ceremony took place at St Mary the Virgin Church in Bickleigh and was followed by the reception back at a Dartmoor hotel. Some of the guests travelled by vintage bus, complete with a very friendly driver who struck his ‘comedy bus driver pose’ for me! Jake and Hayley had stalked their friends’ social media and printed out photos so everyone could find their seat at the reception! The tables were named after their favourite film soundtracks which added another personal touch.

During the speeches, both Jake and Hayley spoke and, unbeknown to them, they had each chosen the very same quote to end with.  Hayley read from a mock-up ‘fairy tale’ book and we certainly captured some fairy tale images as we wandered through the grounds in the evening sunlight.  Photographers call it the golden hour for a reason and it helped to create soft, dreamy images of this very relaxed pair. The fairy tale photos were completed with an outdoor first dance in a gazebo reminiscent of The Sound of Music! Here’s the story of their day in pictures…
