I had the pleasure of photographing Kate and Andy’s wedding back in May. Kate is a digital illustrator whose work I just fell in love with.

For her wedding she hand lettered her own envelopes and designed her wedding invitations and made a fantastic job of them. At the time I spoke to her about offering the service out to other brides as I was sure there would be others who would want bespoke invitations and hand lettered envelopes.

Kate is now offering this as a service and I’ve managed to negotiate with her to offer my Brides a discount on her services.

Here are a few images of her latest invitation, designed to her client’s specification (with personal details removed!)

Cassandra and I decided to make a weekend out of my trip down to Devon to help Gill Taylor cover a wedding in Pyeworthy, Devon.

We were staying in the Falcon Hotel in Bude, on the Sunday we took a walk around the town and down to the beach. Unfortunately the gorgeous weather didn’t take long to break, you can always count on the British Summer!

After a walk in the pouring rain back to the car we headed towards home via whatever was on the route. We paid a visit to Dartington Crystal to do a factory tour, which typically didn’t run on weekends! We did however get to see a lead crystal hand cast being made.

Here are some photos that I took during our little wander.
