Vintage winter wedding at Trevenna Barns Cornwall
Posted on July 30, 2015
It was a wonderful day for a vintage winter wedding at Trevenna Barns in the Parish of St. Neot, Cornwall. The bride grew up next to the beautiful rural wedding venue and has had her heart set on getting married their. The venue is such a naturally beautiful location just perfect for wedding celebrations. The couple love Trevenna’s Location in Cornwall overlooking the staggering landscape of Bodmin Moor. The venue has a real countryside feel, with ancient stone walls, sleek glass & walnut stairs, log burners. The bride wore a stunning vintage style wedding dress with a simple red bouquet which beautifully complemented the dress. I loved the rustic theme to the wedding, the flowers in glass jars were so pretty.
Vintage festival styled wedding photo shoot with Blue Fizz Events at Clovelly Court North Devon
Posted on July 13, 2015
We were blessed with a stunning location and beautiful weather for this spring styled wedding shoot at Clovelly Court in North Devon. It was the first time I had visited this venue and the first thing that jumped out at me was beautiful Victorian walled gardens (Clovelly Court Gardens), I absolutely LOVE wedding venues with gardens, they are a rich source of vibrant and beautiful scenery for a photo shoot or real life wedding photos. I particularly love the old walled around these gardens, they have so much texture!
The photo shoot was styled with a vintage and festival theme. This stunning styled wedding photo shoot organised by the Devon wedding planning company Blue Fizz Events. Featuring the Blue Fizz gorgeous marquees. Blue Fizz Events’ highly professional and efficient wedding planner team will create wonderful experiences for your marquee celebration – whatever the occasion, and across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. They specialise in planning weddings, christenings, anniversary parties and corporate events – and of course they offer marquee hire too.
It was the first time I had worked with the Blue Fizz team and all I can say is that I was very impressed by their professionalism, amazing organisation, and the abundance of creative ideas they had for the photo shoot. The models were also very experienced and were great to work with.
My favourite elements of the photo shoot:
I loved all the flowers in garden especially the bed of tulips. The bouquet was brilliant, the colours suited the theme perfectly.
The vintage dresses supplied by the wonderful Days Of Grace, who supply heirloom gowns of a vintage style for brides. These one-off designs are made from antique lace and vintage textiles and are perfect for country weddings, barefoot on the beach or a beautiful summer picnic and they are all so so beautiful.
The headdresses were all so pretty, my favourite was the Liberty Halo headdress supplied byHey Jules. The Liberty Halo is perfect for the free spirited bride.
Here are some images from our styled Vintage Festival photo shoot at Clovelly Court, Clovelly Village.

Coastal Pre wedding engagement shoot – Royal William Yard Plymouth Devon
Posted on June 24, 2015
We had a lovely evening photographing this beautiful pre wedding engagement shoot at the Royal William Yard and Devil’s Point coastal walk in Plymouth Devon. The couple came down from London for the pre wedding shoot. It was very sunny and extremely windy so finding a sheltered spot was a challenge! But there are so many beautiful views we had quite a lot of choice. The couple are so happy and really looking forward to their wedding in Menheniot Church and Adrenalin Quarry in Cornwall this summer.
Adrenalin Quarry is thought of as the wildest wedding venue in Cornwall. 150ft cliffs tower over a tranquil flooded quarry lake. Twin zip wires descend to a lush lakeside lawn. All this surrounded by woodland in a secluded wildlife haven. Adrenalin Quarry Weddings in Cornwall celebrate the great outdoors and gravity in equal measure!

Cornish wedding at Menheniot Church / Boconnoc House and Estate – Mr and Mrs Rixon
Posted on January 30, 2015
This was such a lovely Cornish wedding at the Boconnoc House & Estate in one of Cornwall’s stunning valleys. Of course it was blessed with the typical English summer weather, the day started with torrential rain and lightening bolts, and finished with glorious sunshine and brilliant blue skies! The couple were married in the bride’s local family church in the quaint little Cornish village of Menheniot. After the ceremony they were quickly whisked off in a beautiful vintage car to Castle Air, they couple were greeted with champagne just before boarding their helicopter to the wedding venue.
I had no choice but to travel with the bride and groom to document this momentous occasion. It was superb! I was so excited I almost forgot to take photos! We arrived at the Boconnoc Estate within 10 minutes of flight, to the excited wedding guests who were waiting on the lawn with their cameras at the ready for the VIP arrival. What a way to make an entrance! The afternoon was followed with croquet on the lawn, lots of Pimms, jam and clotted cream scones, dancing and lots more fun shenanigans!
Congratulations to Briony and Edward, your wedding day was just perfect and full of so much love and happiness I know it will last a lifetime xxxx
Below is the bible verse that was read at the church wedding ceremony, it was really lovely:
1 John 4:9-12
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
A year in the life of a Devon wedding photographer….
Posted on January 5, 2015
One year ago I left my job as a Digital Marketing Officer at Plymouth University to become a full time photographer…and what a year it has been!!
I specialise in wedding photography but also photograph family portraits, engagement shoots, events and press commissions when required. My vintage photo booth has also taken off this year with many bookings at weddings, charity events, Christmas and birthday parties.
In total I have photographed 30 weddings in stunning wedding venues across the UK such as The V&A Museum in London, Summer Hall Art gallery in Edinburgh, Deer Park Hotel Devon, Polhawn Fort Cornwall, Kitley House Hotel Devon, The Green in Cornwall, Wicke Farm Bath, and Ashton Court Bristol. I also had destination wedding bookings in Ibiza and Spain!
I have photographed 31 vintage photo booths, 16 family photo shoots, as well as commissions from Plymouth University, The Marine Academy Plymouth, Plymouth School of Creative Arts, and other local businesses in Plymouth.
I also started working with an amazing charity called Jeremiah’s Journey, which led me to judge their first ever, photo marathon in Plymouth, which was fantastic.
I have had weddings featured on National weddings and fashion blogs such as Whimsical Wonderland Weddings, Rock My Wedding, and Stylight. Have had my weddings featured and on the front covers of numerous weddings magazines such as La Belle, Bristol and Somerset Wedding Magazine and Always & Forever.
Now looking towards 2015… I have 21 weddings booked in so far across the southwest of England in some beautiful locations and have lots more exciting things to come. Did I say that I love being a wedding photographer in Devon and Cornwal!
Here are a few of my favourite images of 2014 xxx
Cornish Wedding – The Green Cornwall – Sophie and Martin
Posted on June 27, 2014
Sophie and Martin were married in March in the beautiful wedding venue The Green Cornwall. They were extremely lucky with stunning weather; the sun was shining from the start of the ceremony until the last dance. The wedding guests had lots of fun enjoying the weather in the venue’s vast gardens set right on the edge of Bodmin Moor. The breathtaking scenery, coupled with fabulous live acoustic music, delicious home baked cakes, gorgeous sunshine and large sprinkling of love and happiness produced the perfect wedding day from the bride and groom and their friends and family!!!
We love being a wedding photographer in the South West. We are based in Plymouth, Devon and cover weddings in Bristol, London and Cornwall, but as Liberty Pearl Photography is a destination wedding photographer we are happy to take bookings anywhere in the UK or abroad.
La Belle Wedding Magazine Styled Wedding Shoot – Cornwall
Posted on June 5, 2014
What a lovely way to spend the day, photographing a beautiful bride for a La Belle Wedding Magazine festival wedding feature. We went to one of my favourite Cornish wedding venues The Green Cornwall, which is a luxurious Cornish escape, set in a private estate surrounded by orchards, meadows, a lake, and the stunning skylines of Cornwall’s iconic mining heritage. The weather was unpredictable at times so we had to dash between the house, gardens and cottages to avoid the showers, but this made the day a lot more fun!
A huge thank you to the following local suppliers for making the photo shoot a success. The beautiful dress was provided by The Wedding Company in Plympton, and the colourful bouquets were made by Honours Flowers. Our breathtaking model Becky Smith was styled by Gem Ryder Make Up Artist and Vogue Hair. The beautiful venue was The Green Cornwall. Please take a look at the photos, we absolutely love the photos and are very pleased with the results!
