The Ergohacks Verdict

The Lost Gardens of Heligan was unexpected. I had seen the pictures on-line, but it isn’t anything like the pictures. I realised that the moment we bought tickets and the woman behind the counter turned to Cass and told her about the trail to the Lost Summer that’s taking place on the East Lawn. ‘There’s a lovely trail if you follow the blue ribbons that will get you there easily and quickly or if you like, there’s an adventure trail that’s steep and a bit slippery if you follow the orange ribbons.’  Cass chose adventure. It started with a play trail and not just for children either. Large enough for everyone to join in. She was thrilled.

The downhill walk through the woods were magical. It’s strange how it reminded me of a breadcrumb trail in a really good RPG. As soon as we reached an orange ribbon, we could spot another. The woods were filled with trees that had stuff in it. A cup cake tree. A tree filled with wedding dresses. Paintings hung up in the woods. It was gorgeous. We studied the Mud Maid – a big favourite – and we diverted to cross the rope bridge – another item on our list-  and then wind our way back onto the orange ribbon trail. It’s one of the best walks I’ve ever had. Cass agreed. She ran and sprinted, complained that we were stopping too often to take too many photographs. Come on. Come on!

The rest of our day was just as great as that first hour. Cass roasted marshmallows (and they gave us a carb count yay!) over an open fire for the first time in her life, we built a gigantic den, she sculpted a clay otter and painted a pebble. We walked and walked some more. It rained. It poured. But we didn’t care. In fact, I think it added to the ambience. Cass fell in love with small birds at the hide when she spotted a goldfinch and then many small birds joined us for lunch at the Stuart’s Cafè.

The Lost Gardens of Heligan delivers the unexpected. Its more Bohemian than I had realised and all the better for it. Around each corner something else caught our eye and every time it was delightful. It’s a smorgasbord of delights. Highly recommended.

Special considerations

There were multiple visitors using wheelchairs, accessible routes were pointed out to each visitor on arrival and facilities were adapted, including ramps, accessible toilets  with left and right hand transfer with RoomMate installed to assist blind and visually impaired visitors. Accessible parking is located near the front entrance and companions required for access is admitted free of charge.

All dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a short lead at all times and are not permitted inside the restaurant or cafè – however plenty of outdoor seating is available.

Vegan, vegetarian, low carb and gluten free options are available in the restaurant and Stuarts Cafè. Carb count is not printed on most of the packaging (except for drinks and packaged snacks), however when we were totally stuck on some items, the staff were very helpful and tracked down appropriate packaging that listed the carbohydrates. They went above and beyond at the Lost Summer Children’s activities to understand Cass’ requirements and include her in the fun despite an annoying joint dislocation and blood sugar low.

  We based our Ergohacks Verdict on a full day’s visit during July 2017. This article was first published on 3 August 2017.

Mike and Lisa recently travelled to Mauritius to officially cement their love for each other in paradise. They travelled alone to Mauritius and all of the photographs from the wedding can be viewed by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page (Mauritius photographs were taken by Kushal Solokoo).

I have known Mike (AKA: Minnie | Halam) since school and have been best mates for many years. It was an awesome feeling to get the shout to photograph the happy couple's home coming blessing at The Carlyon Bay Hotel in St Austell. A gathering of close friends and family together to congratulate Mike and Lisa on their marriage. After waking up in the morning with a banging hangover, I was quite relived to see I had actually taken a few photos during the day and not just joined in with the celebrations. It was an ace day from start to finish, a personal favourite moment was from best man's Chris's speech talking about Mike being the 1992 Street Fighter 2 champion at school, a monumental accolade I think everyone can agree. Congratulations guys, it was a perfect day and I wish you both the best for your future together.

The Easing of COVID-18 Restrictions Roadmap for UK Weddings in 2021

Weddings in the United Kingdom have taken serious strain over the past year, since the COVID-19 virus became a global pandemic. Up to now couples wanting to get married have had to put their precious plans on hold with weddings of six people only allowed in “exceptional circumstances.” This means that until now, during the third national lockdown being experienced, that only couples, where one is gravely ill and unlikely to recover, have been allowed to tie the knot.

Northern Ireland have announced their four step process to ease the lockdown restrictions starting on 16 March 2021 for the first step, 15 April 2021 for the second step, 13 May 2021 for the third and 10 June 2021 for the fourth. England has also released it's roadmap to allowing easing of the national lockdown restrictions starting on 6 March 2021 with full weddings without restrictions hoping to be allowed by mid to end June 2021.

Right now Northern Ireland is allowing weddings for up to twenty five people, this includes the officiant and children under twelve, but no receptions are allowed. Wales, on the other hand, determine the capacity based on venue size. Ceremonies have been allowed since 1 March 2021, but no receptions are allowed. England is still working on six people under exceptional circumstances, with weddings being allowed from 6 March 2021 with six people including the couple, witnesses, the officiant and wedding photographer. Scotland is allowing five people at a wedding, six if an interpreter is needed.

The roadmap, which was outlined by the Prime Minister in late February advised that as long as all conditions are met, using data not dates, they are hoping to increase wedding sizes to fifteen by 12 April, thirty people by 17 May and unlimited restrictions by 21 June.

Unfortunately couples who were forced to postpone their weddings due to the current pandemic and their Notice of Marriage has expired, will need to get another notice, paying the fee per person again. This must be done a minimum of twenty nine days prior to the wedding and expires after one year.

On average, a wedding in the United Kingdom typically has around eighty guests with two thirds of all weddings across the country having an average of between fifty and one hundred guests. Only seventeen percent of weddings have more than one hundred guests, while prior to the pandemic an average of three percent of weddings were small and intimidate with less than twenty guests.

Bear in mind that if you use a venue or hall that can accommodate a large number of guests, it may be your responsibility to carry out a Coronavirus risk assessment, ensuring that social distancing is taken into consideration. The venue should have information to assist you in ensuring you don't invite too many guests and exceed the lockdown regulations.

Reducing your guest list is not an easy task, but if you want your wedding to go ahead in the next few months, then you are going to want to think of ways to identify who to invite. Everyone invited will understand if you want to go ahead and cannot accommodate them. Using a professional wedding photographer as one of your number allowances, ensures you capture every moment and then can share the experience with those that couldn't attend due to number restrictions.

What to Look For When Choosing the Best Wedding Photographer

Your wedding photographs are treasured keepsakes of your special day. These are what you will share with family and friends, what you will look back on to remember your memorable day. A way to remember your vows, first dance and see the people who shared your special day with you.

Choosing the best wedding photographer is essential to ensuring that every special moment is captured and treasured. You want to find a professional photographer that understands your vision of the day and will document every special moment with care and passion. You need to feel comfortable with the photographer, trust them to capture the moments with confidence. Remember the person you choose will be with you the whole day, by your side, capturing every special moment as they happen.

Before you look at hiring your wedding photographer, you will want to book your venue. Once your venue is secured then book the photographer. Try and book at least nine months in advance to ensure you get the photographer you want to work with. It's always worthwhile asking your recently married friend an family who they used for their photographs. Seldom will people recommend someone they were not happy with. This is a great starting point.

Another important step is identifying the type of photography you like. Maybe you want a more vintage look or something with bright colours. Take a careful look at various photographers past events to get an idea of their photography style to assist you in making your final decision.

Take the time to interview any wedding photographers you are thinking of working with. Most will email you a link to their portfolio before a meting. Take note if the portfolio includes latest weddings. This is the best way to measure the work and ask questions in the initial meeting. When meeting the photographer, identify who will be taking the photographs. Larger studios may have numerous photographers. It's not unusual for photographers to have someone with them to capture both the bride and groom getting ready. Ensure you see all the work produced by both photographers if this is the case before making any final decisions.

Ensure you discuss the fee in advance. Most wedding photographers include high resolution images on disc or via a cloud link, which enables you to print the photographs you want and share the others with friends and family. Some wedding photographers will offer different packages with varying prices. Ensure you understand what is included in the fee you are paying to ensure you are not disappointed with the end result.

Discuss how long the wedding photographer will take in getting the images to you after your special day. Most take a few days, but if you want prints or a full album, then you may have to wait a little longer, but in most instances the images are ready online within days of your special day.

Most of us have that gut feel about someone, so go with what feels right to you. Evaluate and meet with each of the wedding photographers you are thinking of and then narrow down your list. Make use of independent review sites, wedding forums and word of mouth to get honest feedback to make you feel comfortable and confident with your decision.

The final tip to finding a great wedding photographer to capture your memories on your special day is to arrange a test run. Many wedding photographers will do engagement shoots. Use this as an opportunity to identify their style and skills, so you know you have chosen the best person to capture your memorable day.

Relaxed and Informal Wedding Photography is the New Normal

Wedding photography is a niche market that has seen a significant rise in recent years. What used to be one of the more traditional and often overlooked elements of the wedding has since become one of the most expensive and most important parts. Wedding photography is an art that is aimed at capturing and preserving the most special day in anyone’s life. Wedding photographers need to be highly skilled and offer a very unique service that is indispensable to most families as they will be there documenting the very beginning of that family’s journey.

Wedding photography used to be very traditional, formal, and almost stiff. The photographer would have the couple pose and then take the photos. This would often result in a collection of images that resembled formal portraits, and the other shots would include images of the other important elements, such as the cake, the car, and the venue as a whole. However, even though some traditional wedding photographers would be focusing on the other elements of the wedding, some photographers would omit these snaps entirely, and the wedding party would only have the portrait-style photos to look back on. Although this was widely the accepted practice, and still captured the bride and groom on their special day, wedding photography has since evolved and now incorporates a myriad of other elements that make it one of the most artistically skilled areas of professional photography.

Nowadays, a wedding photographer needs to train themselves to shoot in a variety of styles, including stills, landscapes, photojournalism, illustrative, and fine art, all the while still incorporating a little of the traditional photos to ensure that the bride and groom do have some portraits at the end of it all.

The latest trend in wedding photography is to opt for a photographer that offers a relaxed and informal feel and delivers a wide array of photo styles while still capturing the essence of the day. The photos may range from portrait shots of both the bride and groom as a memoir of the day they got married to vast landscape shots that detail the feel of the day, to candid pictures of the guests that perfectly preserve the emotions and joyous nature of the celebrations. Most of the time, a wedding photographer will allow the bride, groom, bridal party, and guests, to simply go about their special day while hovering on the sidelines and making sure that not a moment goes by unsnapped. It is quite usual for a wedding photographer to nowadays not guide or direct the couple in any way as this ensures that the photos have the most natural and authentic feel, and will capture the true nature of the couple instead of a fixed pose that may look forced.

Most wedding photographers will also include several very artistic shots of various elements of the wedding as a whole. This may include capturing candid moments with the cake in the foreground, or wide-angle landscape shots that perfectly show the sunset reflecting in your guests’ eyes. It can even include close-ups of specific elements and features on your tables and may hone in on certain décor elements that will remind you of every little detail when you look back on the photos after a couple of years.

A wedding day can already be a very stressful time in any couple’s life, and the more you can do to put yourself at ease, the better. It is highly recommended that your wedding photographer should be someone that makes you feel relaxed and happy, as this will make sure that your photos show the real you. If you are relaxed and enjoying yourself, your photos will reflect this.

A September Winery Wedding

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Camilla and Scott’s intimate wedding at Knightor Winery in Trethurgy, near St Austell in Cornwall.

The couple had originally planned to get married in May but had to postpone their wedding day due to Covid-19.

Having scaled down their guest list to comply with the current regulations, the couple were finally able to tie the knot in an intimate, outdoor ceremony at this popular barn wedding venue in Cornwall.

Camilla looked absolutely stunning in an elegant, full length lace wedding dress with a sweetheart neck line and bow detailing, which was bought from Coastal Bridal in Mevagissey.

She finished the look with a pair of diamante sandals, a diamante necklace with matching earrings and a short veil.

As Knightor has a naturally rustic feel to it being a barn wedding venue, Camilla and Scott went along with this idea when choosing their decorations and wedding theme.

Camilla’s wedding flowers were a posy of pale pink roses with gypsophelia, tied with hessian and were complied by Mevagissey florist Wild and Heather.

Scott looked very smart in a blue three piece suit from Marks and Spencer, with a white shirt, a pale pink tie and brown shoes.

Camilla’s bridesmaids all wore chiffon, pale pink full length dresses and held matching, smaller posies of roses and gypsophelia.

The ceremony took place underneath the beautifully decorated wooden arbour, which is situated in front of the lake, where the couple’s guests looked on while sat on hay bales.

After the ceremony Camilla, Scott and their guests enjoyed drinks and canapes in the courtyard of the winery in the beautiful September sunshine.

Later on in the afternoon we took some wedding photographs within the grounds of Knightor and here’s a few of my favourites to give you a flavour of their special day…

Congratulations Camilla and Scott!

It pays to have the best in the industry:  Even though it is relatively easy to find a cheap photographer in Cornwall, you should be taking into account that not all photographers are equal and at the end of the day it pays to have the best in the industry.  

Make sure to do your homework before the wedding day:  When it comes to choosing the correct photographer in Cornwall for your big special day, you must prepare yourself to do some homework and background checks.  Decide on the three photographers that you like the most and then properly review their blogs and websites as well as reviews from other clients.  This way you will have some idea on the photographer him/herself.  Moreover, you can scope out the range of skills and quality your photographer possesses. The last thing you want on your wedding day is to splurge huge amounts of money and not have some beautiful memories on moments to look back on.
