Once there, we where greeted by four foot offshore surf. It was slightly too windy to make it epic but a few good barrel breaking on the inside re-form . A good session overall, a few pictures below from the trip.

Boxing Day Surf
Had a good surf trip today. I was picked from saltash by a few friends from Plymouth on there way down to one of my favourite beach breaks Porthtowan. I always enjoy surfing on boxing day as the crowds tend to be slightly less then normally.

Whitsand Bay
In the last year or so I have embarked on a project to photograph the Cornwall and Devon coast with the aim of getting a good collection of images together. I'm not total sure on the final aim of this project, but when I'm happy with the collection I'll probelly make a book or set up an exhibition and start marketing a bit to sell the image for calenders and things like that.
As Whitsand Bay is the closest beach to where I live I thought it was about time I took a photo trip down there. Was an enjoyable shoot with some good evening light. My friend Becky also joined me for the trip which made for some great company. Below are two of the images I was most happy with from the session.

Suzy & Lee's Wedding
I have known Suzy since secondary school, she's a great friend and a real inspiration for me, so when she asked my to photograph her and Lee's wedding I was delighted to except and knew it was going to be a really fun day.
The wedding ceremony was held at the Upton Vale Baptist in Torbay with the reception venue in Stokeinteignhead village hall close by. I always like doing weddings with an assistant so arranged for my good friend Becky to travel down with me to help out.
We arrived early on the day to photograph some of the preparation before the ceremony. First stop was the flat where the Groom and Ushers were staying in before the wedding. I got the impression on arrival that they had been out the night before which I think is always a good way to calm the nerves! Once everyone was awake we got some cool shots and even managed to dodge the showers to get a few shots outside.
I then made my way to Suzy's house to get some photographs of her getting ready before racing to the church. The ceremony was really nice and heart warming. The church has a really high ceiling and a upper viewing level so the atmosphere was something really special.
After the ceremony we went down to the water front for some photographs, before heading up to the reception. The evening celebration where really fun with some great speeches and really good music and food. Congratulation to Suzy and Lee for the marriage! A few of my favourite highlights form day.

South Coast
Waves have been pumping last few days with some quality swell hitting the south coast of Cornwall and Devon. Really has been picture perfect, and from the photographs I'v seen by Matt Hawken at www.kernowbodyboarding.co.uk Porthleven was the place to be be. Unfortunately due to work I haven't been able to get on the road till midday and with sunset at 4.15 there hasn't been an awful amount of time to travel to my favourite surf/shooting destinations.
So decided to stay local and drive down to a cool little cove nicked named spot P not to far from Whitsand Bay on the south-east corner of Cornwall. It's normally a place I enjoy snorkelling in the summer months but happens to get good waves in the winter. Once I got down there I met a small groups of surfers, and spent the afternoon documenting there surf session before doing some seascape photography down by the harbour just before sunset. A great way to spend the afternoon.
