A Winter Elopement in St Ives, Cornwall

On a slightly cold November morning I travelled down to St Ives in Cornwall to meet up with Verity and Michael and shoot my first ever elopement. I was so excited to get to be a part of such a special occasion and felt very honoured to be their photographer. For the uninitiated, an elopement is basically when two people get married on their own, with just a witness or two to tick the legal boxes. So on the day itself I photographed a bit of the getting ready, the legal ceremony and then we spent a lovely couple of hours of wandering around St Ives shooting portraits. I’ve not been to St Ives for years but what a perfect place to elope to. So many gorgeous little areas around the town, and we found some gorgeous beaches and rocks explore too. We definitely got a little lucky with the weather, but even at the start of the day when it was raining heavily the atmosphere and views were still beautiful. I hope I get to photograph another elopement soon as it was so much fun to do. Thanks guys x
