What equipment do you use?
It's a popular question, with a variable answer. I don't limit the number of images I shoot on the day, or subsequently edit thereafter. I deliver every photo I believe reflects your wedding day and to the high standard I set for myself. A typical all day wedding would receive between 600-900 wedding images.
I opt to always carry two identical cameras with me - Sony a9 cameras for the fellow camera geeks out there. That with two different prime lenses provide a variety of different frames throughout the day. For light I utilise natural light until it's not longer available, when I pop the odd small flash up here and there.

About the Wedding Venue
Tunnels Beaches is one of the most popular wedding venues in Devon, and for good reason. Most who book are seeking a relaxed and fun wedding day, which also happens to be the typical weddings I photograph. Not many venues can claim to have their own private beach! Despite its life beginning in the 1820's, Tunnels has a modern feeling to the whole venue. Couples have great flexibility to input their own style into the day.
Couples can invite up to 120 guests for the day, up to 160 for the evening. Most who get married at Tunnels Beaches don't live in the region and travel from all over the UK to get married here.
