The White House, Chillington Wedding : Rob and Sam9
Last weekend I was in South Devon for Rob and Sam’s stunning wedding at the fabulous White House in Chillington, a small village near Dartmouth.
Sam got ready at celebrity chef John Burton Race‘s lovely New Angel rooms in Dartmouth. I shot The New Angel for Devon Life Magazine a few months ago, so it was great to be back!
Being seven months pregnant Sam looked absolutely radiant. 
Sam’s choice of dress was also absolutely perfect – the beautiful Summer of Love by Charlotte Balbier.
The road between Dartmouth to Chillington was absolutely incredible, taking in some of the best views of the coastline en route – what a lovely route to take to your wedding!
The White House in Chillington is a fantastic wedding venue for an intimate and relaxed vibe and it was made even nicer because of the great weather which saw all the guests enjoying the large grassy garden and swings! I loved all the cool little touches around the hotel like antlers, fab artwork and the lovely cool conservatory where the yummy meal was served.
The flowers who were by the lovely Emma Vowles, based just down the road in Totnes, also really added to the lovely laid back atmosphere. I loved the driftwood hearts and wild flowers in jugs – very coastal and summertime!
We shot a few photos around the house and gardens, and then after the meal Sam, Rob and I headed down to Slapton Sands, a beach halfway between Dartmouth and Chillington. We shot some fun pictures with their camper van and went down to the sea for a few more portraits.
Before heading on to the pub in Dartmouth to meet all the evening guests, we also popped into the cocktail lounge at The New Angel to do some indoor portraits. I particularly love the opulent gold walls which made an awesome backdrop!
After a few drinks at the pub, I headed over to the boat and grabbed some candid shots of guests before they headed off to party the night away on a river cruise around Dartmouth for the evening do.
Eco friendly weddings in Devon – Green Union3
If you’re into taking care of the environment then lovely Devon-based website Green Union is somewhere you’ll love browsing around for eco friendly weddings!
My good friend Vicky from Vintage Teasets paid me a visit today, and we decided it would be rather marvelous to also head off the beaten track and down the rural Devon country lanes to visit the lovely Rosie who runs Green Union.
We were especially impressed with her amazing lemon polenta cake that was warm out of the oven – yummm! And enjoyed meeting all her fluffy chickens! Of course I had to do some photography while I was there!
