NV Hairdressing working their magicNV Hairdressing working their magic to get the models ready for the bridal photo shoot for Amanda K Bridal Boutique at the Rose in Vale Country House Hotel
Hairspray, I love the taste of hairspray at eight in the morning!! Well, last Friday I didn't mind one bit because I had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Amanda from Amanda K Bridal Boutique, Jess from TYPE Communications, Sally Orchard and Suzi Winter who are both well respected local make up artists, David from Michael Spiers - the Jewellers most people will be familiar with in Truro and last but certainly not least, Jo and Natalie from NV Hairdressing, based in Falmouth.

I arrived at the Rose in Vale Hotel in Mithian, near St Agnes to find hair and make up already being applied to the lovely Jodie, Kerra, Lauren and Kate, not forgetting Lee and Rob too - but I can't give too many clues away, it's Amanda K's show!!
The weather looked promising, early morning bright skies and a head full of ideas that had been focussed down in pre-meets with Amanda and Jess, together with a visit to the Hotel meet Katharine, the Hotel's wedding specialist, who showed us around to gather info on possible locations.
Suzi, Sally, Jo and Natalie continued their work with the models to get them ready to get into their bridal gowns, headpieces and jewellery carefully chosen by

Amanda and Jess to style the looks they wanted to achieve.
You'll need to check in with Amanda's website and when she is ready she will tell you more about her thoughts on that I'm sure.
In between setting up lights and shifting camera gear around rooms, I watched in awe as these incredibly talented people worked away skilfully. I can't say I didn't feel under a little pressure to make the most of the opportunity to work with such a talented team!!

Amanda had arranged with David from Michael Spiers Jewellery to supply some beautiful gems and they did not disappoint, the girl's faces said it all when David revealed some impressive pieces - the real deal that finished the look and brought grins to faces!!

As the looks for the models were completed, we headed off to parts of the hotel and grounds to take the photos that Amanda and Jess are now looking over to choose their favourites to promote Amanda K. No sneaky peeks of those just yet, but we hope to be able to share some of the other shots from the day with you all shortly, keep checking in with the blog here and at Amanda K's for some of the shots in the coming days!

I'm lucky enough to have had photos featured here:
I am a Cornwall based wedding photographer who is passionate about what he does, I shoot in a largely documentary style which is based on observing and capturing your day as it happens but with a mix of group shots and couples portraits which is discussed and planned with each bride and groom on an individual, bespoke basis. My aim is to take the stress out of having your photos taken on one of the best days of your life and I understand that not everyone likes to be photographed. I'll work with you and your guests to achieve natural shots and will gently guide you through the day without lots of poses.
Here are some of the kind words that previous peeps have said:
"thank you so much for our amazing photos, they capture the day brilliantly. Ian and I really enjoyed looking through them and re-living the day when we got back from honeymoon. It was a pleasure to have you at our wedding,you slotted in just like one of the guests. We will certainly be recommending you to our friends and family. Many thanks" - Ellie and Ian (Bride and Groom)
"Scott, thank you so much for our gorgeous wedding pics. The day was amazing and you put us both at ease. A brilliant recommendation from VB and we won't hesitate to recommend you to our friends!" - Hayley (Bride)
"Thank you so much for all your hard work. Your amazing ability to appear from behind bushes and catch people relaxed and enjoying the day was wonderful. We had lots of coments from guests saying how lovely you were. I hope your arm doesn't ache too much. We can't wait to see the pictures Thank you again xx Scott - it is totally amazing thank you for creating an incredible record of a very special day (yes I'm crying again) xxx" - Michelle (Bride's mum)
"Thank you Scott for a fantastic day! Scott fully understands how to capture the true emotions of a wedding. Keeping photos as natural as possible but at the same time producing a truly professional picture. He maintained a non-intrusive but a relaxed atmosphere, making guests feel at ease so as to capture the best moments. Scott is someone that we highly recommend....FANTASTIC!!!!!!!" - Lana (Bride)
"Couldn't have asked for any more. Fantastic, thoughtful photos and a pleasure to have with us on our big day. Thanks Scott!" - Rich (Groom)
"Scott was a dream to work with from start to finish. He captured our day perfectly and has given us an amazing record to keep forever. His photos are beautiful and now treasured. I can't recommend him highly enough - you will be in safe hands throughout the whole process. Xx" - Jen (Bride)
