Corinne & Paul’s countryside wedding in Cornwall, with Alexa Poppe Photography

Published by Claire Gould on

Morning lovely! I have been looking forward to sharing this beautiful wedding with you – Corinne and Paul tied the knot at The Green in Upton Cross, in Cornwall. Their intimate wedding was family friendly – with even their adorable pooch playing flower girl! The theme was late summer, rustic countryside and Corinne’s lovely Augusta Jones wedding dress is wonderfully elegant with fabulous movement (see the dancing pics!) and pretty ivory flowers down the back. It’s a beautiful wedding with some wonderfully romantic moments, and I’ve a feeling you’ll love this as much as I do!

How did you choose your photographer?

Alexa was recommended by our wedding venue team. She has a lovely website with clear examples of her previous work, and at a good price.

Were you pleased with your wedding photographer? Do tell… we love a brilliant review!

Alexa was lovely. We met 9 months earlier and had an engagement shoot, we really liked her style. We were over the moon with our images, she really captured the day like a storybook. It was like re-living our special day all over again. Alexa knew the venue well also which helped 🙂

Tell us about the moment you saw your wedding photos for the first time?

Like re-living the day all over again! I had written a number of images down that I particularly had in mind & Alexa delivered every one!
