Wedding :: Samantha and Charlie

Cora and CW — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:29:04 +0000

You may remember this lovely couple from our engagement shoot last year in Wisley Gardens. At that point we could already see how much Samantha and Charlie cherished the outdoors so a June wedding in beautiful Devon was a perfect fit.

The wedding events took place in a perfect little corner of north Devon where they were engaged. After a lovely ceremony in a quaint village church all of the guests made their way to beautiful Pickwell Manor. Set in six acres of gardens and grounds about half a mile from the ocean, this spectacular English manor was a truly special place for their celebration.

We are so glad to have been part of this wonderful occasion so thank you Samantha and Charlie. Thank you also to Mother-of-the-Bride Michele for thinking of us! Congratulations Samantha and Charlie and all the best to you both in your future life together!

Wedding :: Zoe and Giuseppe

Cora and CW — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:00:19 +0000

Getting into the festive joy of the season, we recently shot our first winter wedding in lovely Devon. Zoe and Giuseppe selected a beautiful setting in the English countryside at Hotel Endsleigh.

Surrounded by their closest friends and family, they had a lovely December themed ceremony and evening reception. Zoe and Giuseppe are such a lovely couple, and their friends and family made the day even more special.

We thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this really beautiful wedding and wish you both the very best!

Little Ones :: Maya’s First Birthday

Cora and CW — Sat, 25 Aug 2012 20:44:18 +0000

We had a great day celebrating Maya’s first birthday! Her perfect little party was hosted at the College Lodge in Dulwich Park surrounded by friends and family. After a party upstairs involving lots of bubbles, music, drums and smiles, we retreated down for a bit of cake. Small spaces, lots of movement, little feet and a gaggle of one year olds made this an intense but fun shoot. Happy Birthday Maya!

Engagement :: Samantha and Charlie

Cora and CW — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 11:51:43 +0000

Had a truly lovely day out taking photos of Samantha and Charlie at beautiful Wisley Gardens in Surrey to celebrate their recent engagement. The venue, weather and couple could not have been more perfect. Really looking forward to photographing what will be a spectacular wedding in Devon next year!

Little Ones :: Joshua and Emily

Cora and CW — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 18:50:41 +0000

We recently took advantage of a beautiful sunny day in May to take a few photos of cute Joshua and lovely Emily with their parents. Joshua got into all sorts, and discovered sunglasses and rocks while Emily peacefully slept and fed in the shade. Getting them all together for a final family shot was challenging, to say the least, but ended with some good laughs and smiles all around.

Event :: PuraVida Health Training Photo Shoot

Cora and CW — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:34:38 +0000

Spent a really fun few hours recently doing a photo shoot for a good friend who runs her own fitness, health and lifestyle company called PuraVida. Based on a unique philosophy founded on evolutionary principles, PuraVida specialises in fitness, nutrition, massage and luxury fitness holidays.

PuraVida is really keen to document more of what they do in an effort to get the word around so we spent a couple of hours taking some photos of a few core personal training exercises. CW put his photography skills aside and turned to his more active side to receive some personal coaching that endeavours to ”blast the blues away, move your way to an energised, leaner, stronger, fitter, kick ass body”.

Here are just a few shots of his personal training session which involved all sorts of different mobility, kettlebell and MovNat inspired training exercises.EVENT_PuraVida Health Photo Shoot St Albans EVENT_PuraVida Health Photo Shoot St Albans EVENT_PuraVida Health Photo Shoot St Albans EVENT_PuraVida Health Photo Shoot St Albans EVENT_PuraVida Health Photo Shoot St Albans EVENT_PuraVida Health Photo Shoot St Albans

Wedding :: Diana and Patrick

Cora and CW — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 16:28:31 +0000

There’s no better place for a wedding than a peaceful mountainside retreat in Vermont on a sunny Saturday. Diana and Patrick were so much fun to be around and had such a great sense of humour! Their love for each other and their families and friends shone through every moment of the day.

It was such a pleasure and honour to be part of this very beautiful wedding, especially as Vermont holds such a special place in our hearts. Thank you for the opportunity to photograph your wedding.

We wish you both the very best for many years of happiness and love together!

Wedding :: Amélie and PH

Cora and CW — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 18:23:01 +0000

Gorgeous bride + handsome groom in uniform + lovely French chateau + amazing food = fabulous wedding

We had the great privilege and honour to photograph the wedding of Amélie and PH in lovely Brittany, France. Surrounded by friends, family and a beautiful setting, their wedding was a perfect start to a new life together as newlyweds. The whole event reflected the amount of time and thought Amélie and PH put into planning their special day, from the handmade cards to the perfectly selected foods.

The only thing out of their control was the weather, which in true Brittany style, was ever changing and a bit wet. But, as the French expression goes, “Mariage pluvieux, mariage heureux”, so many happy returns to the beautiful newlyweds!

Little Ones :: Holly, Joseph and Poppy

Cora and CW — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 19:43:40 +0000

Photographing these children was a true pleasure! They were so fun, relaxed and photogenic – three things every lifestyle photographer hopes for! Spending the day out with their lovely Mom and Aunt made it even more enjoyable!

Our favourite location was definitely the field – a perfect natural backdrop in the sunshine! Holly would probably agree as she kept asking to go back when we left. Poppy was definitely much happier on the swings as you can see from her expression!

Thanks Auntie Amy for making this fantastic photography outing possible! Hope you’re all pleased with the results!

Wedding :: Rob and Maki

Cora and CW — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:04:33 +0000

We had a really great time shooting the wedding of Rob and Maki at East Grinstead Mansion in Sussex. The Prime Meridian ran straight through the grounds separating East from West, making it a truly fitting location for a British-Japanese wedding. The handmade Japanese centrepieces and origami combined with traditional British wedding attire and food made this day a truly cultural and special occasion. Wishing you both the best as you embark on this life together!
