HEAVEN IN DEVON
Set in a woodland glade in south Devon, our cover shoot features a wing-like carnival of blooms, ethereal dresses and a beautiful palette of blue and toffee hues inspired by an African bird. Aptly entitled Paradise Found, it sums up the feeling that so many of our featured couples described when they laid their eyes on their dream setting to marry in Devon.

There’s Megan and David, who fell in love with the timeless elegance of Rockbeare Manor; Manasa and Albin, who loved the idea of marrying within touching distance of the shore in Combe Martin, and Verity and James, who threw their colourful celebrations in James’ parents’ lovingly restored garden in south Devon. Each couple found their patch of heaven amidst the county’s diverse and dazzlingly beautiful landscape. Whether you’re drawn to the wilds of the moor, the untamed drama of the coast, rolling meadows or wooded valley, you’ll find an incredibly special setting to marry in this extraordinary county.
