South Sands Hotel Wedding Photographer
A boutique hotel right on the beach at Salcombe, perfect for a relaxed coastal reception. Relaxed, documentary photography, £2,000 all in.
A note on the photos: I have not photographed a wedding at South Sands Hotel yet, so as your South Sands Hotel wedding photographer I am showing pictures from other weddings of mine. When I photograph one here, they will be replaced.
What a South Sands Hotel wedding photographer is working with
South Sands Hotel sits right on the beach at South Sands, just round the estuary from Salcombe, with the water a few steps from the door.
It is a reception venue rather than a ceremony venue, so couples marry nearby and come back for the wedding breakfast for up to around 74, with a few more joining in the evening. The 22 bedrooms are perfect for your closest people.
Sand at the door, boats on the water and a long lunch with your people.
Photographing a South Sands wedding
The beach is right there, so portraits take minutes rather than a walk. Evening light over the estuary is beautiful, and the sand gives you room to move.
Inside, the hotel is bright and coastal, which is lovely for natural photos of the meal and the speeches.

How I photograph a South Sands Hotel wedding
South Sands is a reception venue with the beach at the door, so a South Sands Hotel wedding photographer usually starts at a church or register office nearby and follows everyone back to the sand.
As your South Sands Hotel wedding photographer I photograph the arrival at the hotel, the long lunch with the estuary outside, and a few minutes on the beach when the light softens.
The last of the light.
The dancefloor.
Planning your South Sands Hotel wedding photography
Check the tide for your date so we know how much beach there will be. Because ceremonies are held elsewhere, allow time for everyone to travel back to the hotel.

What a £2,000 South Sands Hotel wedding photographer covers
Ceremony nearby, party on the sand: all covered for one price.
Straight answers
It hosts receptions rather than civil ceremonies, so couples marry nearby and celebrate at the hotel.
Around 74 for the wedding breakfast and a few more in the evening.
£2,000 all in: unlimited hours, 800+ edited images, 100+ previews the next morning, drone where permitted and a private online gallery. UK travel is included, so there is no travel charge for Devon.
Not unless you want to. Most of the day I simply photograph what happens. I help with the family photos and a couple of short portrait walks, and that is as posed as it gets.

“I cannot thank Matt enough for the pictures he took of our wedding day. They are everything we wanted and so much more.”
