Snapdragon Photography Wedding and Event Photographer based in North Devon So, here’s the section where I tell you a bit about me. I've not once looked back. I am so, so grateful.

Unfortunately, you’re not going to read that it was a passion of mine since I was a little one. I did have some experience and my Mum was a keen amateur but I wanted to become a pro lacrosse player!! I’m a thirty something welsh lass who found love with a Devon lad and made the move from the hustle and bustle of Cardiff to the beautiful serene coast of North Devon. We married in Sept 2015 and in July 2019 we welcomed our gorgeous baby boy into the world. I’m a chocoholic, a gig pig, Glasto goer and ex lacrosse player (not pro unfortunately!). I’ve never drank a cup of coffee or tea before (I know! Weird huh?!) and I’ve only recently learnt to swim (a must when you live in North Devon!). Yep, that’s right, I’m one of those cliché people who made a New Year’s resolution to chase a dream, life’s too short, YOLO, hakuna matata and all that... I bought a camera, invested in a course of lessons, embarked on many, many hours of shadowing one of Devon’s top wedding photographers, and here I am! I pinch myself often because I cannot believe this is my job now! Check out my blog to find out more. So, if you're looking for your photography experience to be fun and enjoyable, from the time where you enquire to receiving your images then look no further.

EMILY & CIAN 🤍

A little elopement, two little ones, and a date with the alpacas. 🦙

Emily and Cian tied the knot at Millbrook Estate’s Summer House, with their two little ones along for the ride. There was alpaca feeding, family time and, for me, the slightly surreal experience of repeatedly calling out my own son’s name… because their youngest shares it! 😂🥰

LOOK at that autumnal light. Flirty little thing, isn’t it? 😏

Mel and Kyle were the absolute cutest together. The little looks, the handshakes, the cwtches… all the little ways they interact with each other that you just can’t make up or pose.

Thanks for having me, you two. What a bloody lovely day! 🤍

ROSEY & WILL ☀️

Some weddings just stay with you, and this was absolutely one of them.

From the moment I arrived at Battisborough House, the whole day had that lovely, relaxed feel I wish every couple could experience. The marquee decor was phenomenal, with hot air balloons handmade by Rosey and her lovely people. Rosey is seriously talented with a sewing machine, too, making personalised handkerchiefs for everyone. Add bridesmaids in their own individual colours and the most vibrant florals, and the whole day was full of personality.

The church ceremony was just as special. The vicar was one of the warmest, happiest people I’ve ever met, and as he’d actually taught Rosey at school, the ceremony felt wonderfully personal.

But there was one detail that really got me.

Shortly after Rosey was born, her dad carried her down the grand staircase at Battisborough House and thought that one day, he’d walk her down those very same stairs in her wedding dress. He even had a photograph from back then.

So, of course, a photograph of them together on those stairs on her wedding day was an absolute must.

I’m not saying I had a little tear in my eye… it was a bucket load! 🥹

Rosey and Will are two of the kindest, most caring people, and being part of their day was a genuine privilege. It was full of thoughtful details, so much love and the sort of atmosphere that makes you forget you’re working.

More weddings like this, please 🤍

LUKE & RAE 🖤
Millbrook Estate, Elopement

A leather jacket covered in brooches, Doc Martens, a little Welsh flag and a rogue robot lawn mower.

Luke and Rae’s day at Millbrook Estate was so much fun. We spent most of our time laughing, and I felt a real connection with the both of them. Between the Welsh roots, the nod to Rae’s dad through the brooches on her jacket, and my own dad’s love of biking, there was plenty for us to chat about.

And the Doc Martens? An absolute YES from me 🖤

Also, the robot lawn mower deserves an honourable mention for its unexpected contribution / photo bomb to the photographs 😂

Luke and Rae, thank you for such a fun day. More of this, please!

CARLEE & GRAEME
Intimate Wedding | Tree Top Escape

C&G chose to keep things really intimate, with just the two of them, their little growing family and the beautiful surroundings of Tree Top Escape.

Carlee is a teacher, and one of her pupils had made her a card with blue butterflies on it. So, naturally, it became our very important mission of the day to find a blue butterfly 🦋

We didn’t quite manage it… but we did find a blue dragonfly, and decided that was close enough 😂🩵

They’re now waiting for their own little boy to join the family, which made the whole day feel even more special.

I had such a lovely time with these two. They were so easy to spend time with, and I’m genuinely so glad they asked me to be the one photographing this little chapter for them.

Some weddings are big, loud and full of everything.

And some are just quietly, completely them 🤍

KATH & MARK 🧡🩷
Tapeley Park, Westleigh

There’s something rather lovely about photographing a wedding when the bride is a wedding supplier herself.

Kath is a makeup artist, so she’s seen A LOT of wedding photography. Which makes the fact that she chose me feel pretty bloody lush. 🥹

Their day was beautifully uncomplicated. No huge list of group shots, no rigid schedule, no need to manufacture moments that weren’t there. Just two lovely people, their favourite humans, and a really bloody good day.

And the fact that someone who works in the wedding industry herself trusted me to photograph it? That’s a pretty special compliment 🤍

TAMMY & JACK 🌷
… and not forgetting Winnie!
RHS Rosemoor Gardens | Chittlehampton Village Hall

Every time I visit Rosemoor I always think, “I’d love to photograph a wedding here.” Well, this year Tammy and Jack made that wish come true, and it absolutely did not disappoint.

The wind and rain were relentless for most of the day, but somehow the rain stopped during the ceremony and stayed away afterwards. We were left with a breezy afternoon that was perfect for exploring the gardens.

Rosemoor has always been a special place for Tammy. She spent lots of time there as a child with her Gran, and the rose gardens were always her favourite spot. Naturally, that was our first stop after the ceremony… and honestly, we could have spent all day there. It’s such a beautiful part of the gardens.

Then there was Winnie, their adorable pup and official ring bearer, who completely stole the show. We couldn’t resist taking a little portrait of her surrounded by the bouquets. 🩷

Jack spends a lot of his spare time working on his “rusty Land Rover” (Tammy’s words, not mine! 😂), so I wasn’t surprised when a rather enormous, very noisy 4x4 made an appearance. I’m definitely not a petrolhead, so I couldn’t tell you exactly what it was, but swipe along for the photos!

Their reception looked incredible, with the bridesmaids and family all mucking in to decorate the space and serve a delicious afternoon tea. It felt so personal and full of love.

Tammy and Jack, thank you so much for trusting me with your day. It was such a joy to finally photograph a wedding at Rosemoor, and even more special because it was yours. 🤍
