Sunny days at Brickhouse Vineyard always feel special, and Coral and Gareth’s wedding captured everything I love about photographing in Devon. As a Devon wedding photographer, the combination of the thatched roundhouse, rolling countryside and modern spaces makes this venue a dream to work in. Paired with a couple as warm and easygoing as these two, it was a beautiful day from start to finish.

I met Coral in the morning at their accommodation in a peaceful spot nearby, perfect for wedding preparation photos. MUA by Georgina Lauren Beauty was fully underway when I arrived. Coral was surrounded by close friends and family, and the mood was relaxed and joyful. Before the car arrived, I took a few portraits of Coral, with the light pouring through the windows. Her Wed2B dress looked amazing in the soft morning light.

At Brickhouse Vineyard, the ceremony took place in the iconic thatched roundhouse, surrounded by vines and views over the Devon countryside. It was personal, intimate and full of small glances and smiles between them.

After the ceremony, we moved straight into confetti in the vineyard, followed by group photos in the courtyard. With clear skies and bright light, it felt like a true summer celebration.

Once the formal photos were finished, Coral and Gareth took a moment for themselves. We drove to the end of the vineyard path for a quiet couple shoot. Her veil catching the light against the backdrop of the hills made it one of my favourite moments of the day.

Back at the venue, the afternoon flowed into cocktails, lawn games and plenty of time for guests to relax. Before making their entrance, Coral and Gareth played a few games together, which gave us some creative opportunities using reflections and the glass barn doors.

They cut their cake early to make the most of the natural light inside the barn. The Simply Celebrate team had styled the space beautifully, and catering from Astridges, along with late-night pizzas from the Brickhouse Pizza Horsebox, kept the energy high.

Speeches were a great mix of fun and emotion. After the wedding breakfast, we headed out again for a golden hour session, taking advantage of the vineyard, the courtyard and the modern interiors. We finished in a nearby field for a few final frames, ending the day with simple, calm portraits.

As the evening kicked off, guests filled the dancefloor thanks to Perfect Wedding DJ, and the Picture Blast photo booth added even more fun.

Read Coral and Gareth’s Review

“Elliot is an absolutely incredible wedding photographer. The photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined and we honestly would recommend him to anyone, we feel so lucky that we booked him. His calm and subtle approach was exactly what we needed, everything was so natural and came out beautifully. He brought so much more to our wedding day and honestly went above & beyond. We also had the pre-wedding photoshoot with him which I would 100% recommend – it was so nice to have the opportunity to get used to having the photos taken which really helped on the day. Thank you so much Elliot, you really were amazing!”
