Nestled on the banks of the River Tamar, Pentillie Castle is a breathtaking wedding venue that oozes charm, elegance, and romance. With its stunning architecture, sprawling gardens, and panoramic river views, it’s a dream location for any couple looking for a truly magical wedding day.


This wedding was a special one... Sam & Leanne have known me for quite a few years now. I photographed their proposal down on Bigbury Beach, which was a total surprise for Leanne and it was such a beautiful day. Sam had made an aisle of red roses on the beach, ready to surprise his soon to be Fiance - and I was there to capture it all!


A year or so later, they messaged me to say they had booked their venue. A few months after that, Leanne messaged me to say she was pregnant! After countless family sessions, a maternity session and of course their beautiful engagement session, it was finally time to capture their day.


And what a stunning day it was.


Beautiful grounds

Pentillie Castle offers a variety of beautiful locations for wedding photography, each with its own unique charm. The grand façade of the castle makes for a stunning statement backdrop, while the lush gardens and woodland walks provide the perfect setting for intimate couple portraits. One of my favourite spots is the riverside bath house— where Sam & Leanne had their ceremony.


Golden Hour Magic

One of the standout moments from photographing at Pentillie was the opportunity to capture golden hour portraits with Leanne, Sam and their little one. As the sun dips behind the rolling hills, the soft golden light creates an ethereal glow, which added an extra touch of magic to the couple’s portraits - it was honestly the most beautiful moment.


As a wedding photographer, I’m always looking for venues that offer both beauty and versatility, and Pentillie Castle delivers on every level. The combination of history, romance, and stunning landscapes makes it a beautiful venue to photograph.
