A fun LGBTQ+ wedding at Tunnels Beaches, Devon

As a Tunnels Beaches wedding photographer and videographer, Jess and Becca’s day was everything we love about weddings at this venue.

Set on the North Devon coast, surrounded by sea air, golden light and their favourite people, their wedding was full of emotion, personality, and seriously good energy.

From deeply personal vows to a packed dance floor at sunset, this day wasn’t just beautiful to look at, It felt incredible to be part of!

About Tunnels Beaches Wedding Venue in Devon

If you’re searching for a Devon wedding photographer, you’ve probably already come across Tunnels Beaches.

And honestly, there’s nothing else quite like it.

Hidden away in Ilfracombe, guests walk through hand-carved tunnels in the cliffs before arriving at a private beach and coastal venue that feels completely separate from the outside world.

What makes it so special:

• Private beach access that creates a full experience, not just a backdrop
• An UNREAL Outdoor ceremony space overlooking the sea
• Beautiful accommodation
• A natural flow between ceremony, drinks, and evening celebrations

Our Experience as a Tunnels Beaches Wedding Photographer and Videographer Duo

We’ve shot multiple weddings at Tunnels Beaches, and with Jess and Becca, we kept everything focused on creating a relaxed, intimate experience so they could actually be present with their people.

Because we know the venue well, we were able to:

• Guide them to the beach spots with best lighting, without taking them away for too long
• Time their couple photos perfectly around sunset
• Capture candid moments naturally without interrupting the flow
• Keep things feeling easy while still creating space for standout moments

Jess & Becca’s Wedding Story

The morning had that calm but emotional energy.

One of the most special moments was Becca’s first look with her Dad. This is where we just stand back and document, letting the moment play out (and holding back the tears ourselves!).

Their personal vows were everything. Honest, funny, emotional, and completely their own. The beauty of having personal vows captured by us with our videography packages is that you get to re-live every word from start to finish. You can view their wedding film a few scrolls below!

Speeches, Connection & That Proper Party Energy

Tunnels Beaches has the most beautiful reception space overlooking the ocean. It provides the most wonderful backdrop to enjoy some food, drinks and speeches.

On that note, Becca’s sister, her Maid of Honour, absolutely nailed her speech!

It had everything. Laughter, emotion, stories that landed perfectly. You could feel how much love there was in that room. As the sun dropped, everyone spilled out toward the beach to enjoy the golden light.

Then came the dance floor.

And the guests delivered.

This was not a polite, stand-around kind of evening. It was full-on, high energy, everyone involved.

It was WILD!

Why Hiring an Experienced Photo & Video team Matters at Tunnels Beaches

Our approach is documentary with gentle direction. We know being in front of the camera can feel a bit unnatural, especially when you just want to be present with each other and your people.

That’s why we don’t turn your wedding into a photoshoot.

As an experienced Tunnels Beaches photographer and videographer, we move with the flow of the venue so nothing feels rushed or forced. We guide you just enough to feel comfortable, then step back and let the real moments unfold.

We’re there to notice those moments, not interrupt them..

And when you look back, it will feel like you’re right there in it again.
