South Sands Hotel Wedding
Pippa & Andy
This is the amazing Pippa & Andy & their stunning wedding at South Sands Hotel in Salcombe. You wouldn’t believe it from the photos, but this was my last wedding of 2025, in the middle of December. A day filled with sunshine & warmth, not only from the weather, but the people as well.
Despite having worked in Salcombe plenty of times now, this was my first time as a South Sands wedding photographer, & what a day it was! Pippa & Andy planned a beautiful winter wedding, including some Christmas carols & crackers!
Wedding Photography in South Sands
Prep started at South Sands Hotel, before popping into Salcombe itself for the ceremony at Cliff House, all before seeing in the sunset at the beach & celebrating the night away back at South Sands. A real highlight, in a day filled with highlights, was taking a walk through the town to capture some portraits but more importantly to grab an ice cream!
I couldn’t have asked for a better way to round off my wedding season, a truly wonderful wedding day! If you’re looking for a Salcombe wedding photographer then you can see some more of my work there. Here’s a collection of Pippa & Andy’s Sound Sands Hotel wedding…
