Enya & Isaac's Wedding at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens

Enya and Isaac's wedding marked my second time photographing a wedding at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens and I was excited to return to one of Cornwall's most unique wedding venues for a full day of coverage. The weather certainly played its part. It was a beautiful warm day from start to finish, although I quickly realised I'd made a mistake by leaving the sun cream at home. Spending the day walking around the gardens under the Cornish sunshine definitely reminded me of that.

The happy couple with their ride.

The ceremony took place in the incredible James Turrell Skyspace, a striking white-walled dome tucked away amongst the gardens. While I'd photographed at Tremenheere before, this was actually my first time shooting a ceremony in the Skyspace. On my previous visit, the ceremony had taken place at the Pagoda, so it was great to experience a completely different side of the venue. The Skyspace was an amazing location to photograph a wedding ceremony at.

For most of the day, I worked with my 24-70mm and 70-180mm lenses, switching to my 17-28mm during parts of the ceremony to capture the scale and architecture of the Skyspace. The wider perspective helped showcase not only the couple but also the incredible environment surrounding them. After the ceremony and cocktail hour, I headed off into the gardens with Enya and Isaac for some portraits. One of my favourite things about the day was that we weren't rushed. We had plenty of time to wander through the gardens together, stopping at a few of my favourite locations along the way. It felt more like a relaxed walk than a formal portrait session, which allowed us to create some really natural images without any pressure.

Tremenheere offers so much variety for portraits, from the subtropical planting and winding pathways to the sculptures and stunning views across Mount's Bay. Having photographed at the venue before, I already had a few favourite spots in mind, and the beautiful weather made them even more enjoyable to explore. As the day moved into the evening, celebrations continued at Tremenheere Kitchen. A big shout out to the team there for providing some fantastic food throughout the day. As a wedding photographer, long days are part of the job, so it's always hugely appreciated when couples and venues look after suppliers so well. Thank you to Enya and Isaac for making sure I was well fed, it certainly helped keep me going through the evening.

For the reception, I swapped out my zoom lenses and moved over to my favourite prime lens combination: the 35mm and 85mm. The atmosphere had shifted from the anticipation of the ceremony to a relaxed evening of good food, conversation, and celebration. The 35mm allowed me to stay close to the action and tell the wider story of the evening, while the 85mm was perfect for capturing candid moments and genuine reactions from a distance.

Returning to Tremenheere for my second wedding here reminded me why I enjoy photographing this venue so much. The combination of beautiful gardens and stunning views makes it a fantastic place to work, and every wedding feels different despite sharing the same backdrop. Enya and Isaac were an absolute pleasure to photograph throughout the day. Their relaxed approach, combined with the incredible setting and glorious weather, made for a wedding that was a joy to capture from start to finish. Thank you both for trusting me to document your day. It was a privilege to be part of it and I wish you both every happiness for the future.
