Weddings on Dartmoor.

At long last I have uploaded a weddings section on my Dartmoor website.
Having been a wedding photographer for over 10 years, I know a bit about weddings and I think Devon and especially Dartmoor can be the most romantic and exciting wedding location.
I love speaking to Brides and Grooms planning their special day. Once they have got over the initial hestitation .... "oh, but don't we have to do it like this...?" and realise that getting married means that the day is entirely for them and that they can fill it with exactly what they want..... "Yes you can have a bouncy castle, whyever not ?" then they become filled with super ideas that make the day completely magical.
The new getting married pages will have lots of information over the next few weeks....
I'm working on it !!

Pixeycombe impresses me yet again.

Horses to say hello to and a comfortable guest lounge with real fire for the evening.
I called into Pixeycombe B&B early on this year when the weather was dire, so it was good to call in last week on a beautiful sunny day. Great hosts Trevor and his wife Sue are busy folk.
The B&B offers livery with 2 stables and grazing within view of the house. And the really good thing is that you can saddle up and go straight out on the Moor for the day.
They are thinking about offering mountain bike hire at the rate of just £12 per bike - helmet included. so for an energetic family this is just the spot.
A short ride in the car will take you to the Royal Oak Inn at nearby Meavy where good food is on the menu.

A cutie at the wheel of a tractor...

Apologies for not keeping the blog up to date, but I have been very busy with the camera. Last week I headed off for the Miniature Pony Centre near to Moretonhampstead to take photos for their next years publicity leaflets. What a joy to see the pre school tots taking turns at 'driving' the real tractor. Their Mums haul them into place and the ever helpful staff at the centre are endlessly patient whilst the tots pull all the right levers that enable to bucket at the front to lift a bagful of hay aloft.

This sweet little chick is Evie, and it was worth the journey just to see her face as she twiddled with the knobs and discovered how to sound the horn - a great many times !!

It won't be long now until the centre closes at the end of the season. You can find the link to the centre, and a slideshow of my photos on this page of the website:- http://www.dartmooraccommodation.co.uk/information/family_days_out_on_dartmoor.html

and a link from that page takes you to a discount voucher to get in.
