Best of 2021

A recap of 2020

Here I am, having compiled my ‘Best of’ for the previous year but what a stark contrast the last twelve months have been compared to the previous year.

In 2020 we were faced with Covid-19; our lives completely turned upside down as we learnt to adapt to the new restrictions.

As my couples started to postpone, I was left with only six weddings to shoot for the year.

The break I received from working was welcome yet completely terrifying.

It gave me a chance to re-charge my batteries (so to speak!) and to spend some additional time with my family.

Being self-employed though came with it’s own worries.

I kept myself busy…

Like many parents I was homeschooling two children which was both rewarding and challenging at times!

Before I knew it, the year that changed everyone’s lives was coming to a close.

My diary for the next year was looking very busy…

2021 – The craziest year of weddings to date

The year started off steadily but soon enough I had two years worth of weddings crammed into a six month period.

It was great to be back working again and it felt like things were starting to get back to normal.

Once again I was shooting weddings in some of my favourite wedding venues in Cornwall:

Lower Barns, Knightor Winery and Trevenna Barns.

I also had the opportunity to shoot at a new Devon wedding venue – Shilstone House.

When my final wedding of the year was complete, after what had been the craziest year of weddings to date, I took some time out to enjoy the festivities with my family.

I’m now in my 8th year as a wedding photographer in Cornwall and I say this every year but I love my job.

It’s a privilege to be given the opportunity to share in one of the most important days in my client’s lives.

The trust they put in me to capture their special day is something that I will never take for granted.
