the charming Grade II listed Charlestown harbour,

TOP TIPS

§ Don’t forget to check the tide times so they
don’t spoil the fun and games.

§ Why not consider the American tradition of
‘trash the dress’? Hit the sea in your ‘best
outfit’ for that stunning, fun-filled photo.

§ Remember the saying: ‘Leave only
footprints’ - it’s a favourite here in Cornwall.

or steeped in
culture and heritage?

MAIN PHOTO BY ADAM GIBBARD PHOTOGRAPHY

T here must be something in the sea air that
inspires creativity, ingenuity and pioneering
passion here in Cornwall. Our history has
touched every part of the world from mining
to art and from Marconi to the space race. Our county
may be small, but its impact has been enormous.

Our landscape is a constant reminder of the days
when Cornwall led the industrial world and boasted
some of the richest towns in Europe. Every one of
our towns, villages and hamlets offers its own
touch of history as well as a myriad of picture
opportunities every bit as beautiful as our coast.

Host your ceremony on a farm, in a barn or even in the
shadow of a towering engine for that Poldark feel.

Of course, stately homes and castles are strewn
across the county. Or maybe a traditional Cornish inn,
providing a unique, warm welcome all year round, is
more your style?

Hand-in-hand with our heritage, our culture also
draws people from across the globe – and that’s not
just our surf culture!

Cornwall constantly hits both cinema and television
screens, providing a glorious backdrop for films, TV
series, documentaries and travel shows. And, of
course, we have strong entertainment and theatrical
traditions, including our own stunning clifftop open-
air theatre.

We boast Michelin-starred restaurants and celebrity
chefs. As a testament to our artistic passion, Cornwall
boasts Rowena Cade’s spectacular Minnack Theatre
which has the unrivalled backdrop of spectacular
ocean views.

If you’re looking for a county rich in heritage and
culture with a laid-back beach lifestyle, Cornwall is the
obvious choice.

TOP TIPS

§ With so much heritage and
culture around, Cornwall is
well known for its annual
events and festivals. Why
not incorporate some
festival fun into your
celebrations?

§ Ask your local suppliers to
suggest locations for your
photographs. You never
know what access they
may offer.

§ Whatever the weather,
brollies are always useful.
They offer shade in the
sunshine, protection from
the rain – and a great pop
of colour for your pictures.

FROST PHOTOGRAPHY

T here’s magic and mystery in our wonderful woodlands,
untamed beauty in our wild and windswept moors and the
romance of history to revisit in our smugglers’ haunts, all
complemented by an abundance of wildlife from free-range
ponies, sheep and deer to sanctuaries for everything from seals to
monkeys and owls.
Steeped in Celtic folklore, Cornwall is where nature takes refuge
amongst tales of fairies, piskies and spirits, with a backdrop of
birdsong and cascading waterfalls, giving your special day a mix of
drama and romance.
Or why not head to the open moors, which have inspired singers,
songwriters, poets and wordsmiths for generations?
Here you’ll find caverns and rocky outcrops, yurts, tipis and even the
hauntingly beautiful china clay pits, all offering unrivalled locations
for the celebration of your dreams.
The Westcountry is famed for its cider, but did you know we’re world
class in wines and spirits too? So among the orchards, fields and
vineyards there’s a setting for the most discerning of palates.
The ever-changing colours reflect the seasons like nowhere else and
the light that plays across the Cornish countryside is nothing short
of magical.
Whatever the weather, you’ll find unlimited romance in every nook
and cranny of Cornwall.

TOP TIPS

§ Wellies are a useful accessory at
Cornish weddings, perfect for
those photographs on beaches,
in fields or in streams.

§ Beware of roaming wildlife and
check with landowners before
venturing onto land you don’t know
– some cows don’t like having
their pictures taken!

§ Many parts of Cornwall have
hidden gems like natural springs,
wells or standing stones – ask
your photographer to research
romantic locations.

26 • CORNWALL REGISTRATION SERVICE suppliers, there’s lots to help you have the
sustainable wedding of your dreams.

Your venue:
We have an array of fabulous venues that put sustainability at their heart here
in Cornwall. Some venues reinvest some of their profits to support and
improve nature in the local area. Some encourage couples to plant a tree to
commemorate their special day. Many source sustainable seasonal produce
to serve up at your wedding feasts and can give you great advice on local
suppliers to limit the carbon footprint. Cornwall has a special environment
and you can help us in working towards becoming carbon neutral too. As
transportation carries a high cost in the form of CO2 emissions, so the
general rule of thumb for sustainable weddings is to...

Share the load
The fewer cars on the road, the lower the emissions, so fewer people
travelling shorter distances can have a dramatic effect on these levels.
Hosting both ceremony and reception at the same venue, means travelling
on the day is kept to a minimum – and if you do want guests to travel
between venues, organise group transport Think about how your guests will
travel to the venue. Travelling by train is a lovely way to see the county
and you could arrange a coach to transport your guests from the station to
the venue.
