Devon Wedding Photography - Francesca and James’ Intimate Elopement

When it comes to Devon wedding photography, few days are as magical and heartfelt as Francesca and James’ intimate elopement. Choosing simplicity and authenticity over grandeur, their wedding was a true reflection of who they are as a couple, rooted in love, family and the beauty of their surroundings.

A Ceremony Just Across the Road

Francesca and James were married in the most meaningful of places, the church directly opposite their home. There was something deeply personal about walking across the road to exchange vows, with their little one watching on. The ceremony was tender and joyful, filled with laughter and the kind of intimacy only possible in a small, heartfelt gathering.

A Walk Through Haldon Forest

After the vows, we wandered into the enchanting Haldon Forest. The tall trees, dappled sunlight and winding paths created the perfect backdrop for natural portraits. The forest offered a sense of peace and escape, the ideal setting for newlyweds to take their first walk together as husband and wife. This is what we love most about elopement photography in Devon. The variety of landscapes provides endless opportunities for timeless, cinematic imagery.

Alongside the digital coverage, we also documented the day on a roll of 35mm film wedding photography. The organic grain, soft tones and nostalgic texture brought another dimension to their story, perfectly complementing the candid and emotional nature of an elopement. Couples often tell us that film captures the feeling of a moment in a way that digital cannot, which is why we love to offer it as part of our approach.

A Rainbow Ending

Just when we thought the day could not get any more perfect, the sky opened to reveal a rainbow stretching across the Devon countryside. It was one of those fleeting moments you cannot plan for but never forget, a breathtaking symbol of new beginnings and a reminder of why we always stay ready to capture the unexpected.
