Chris Giles: St Enodoc Church, Daymer Bay And A Yurt

Certain parts of the UK have a special hold on my heart and Cornwall is one such place.

When my age could be counted in single digits Cornwall was a source of family holidays, tricking the Space Invaders machine to accept 2p’s at holiday camps in Camelford, pretending to be a rock climber in Tintagel and discovering jellyfish on Polzeath beach are moments that still hold a certain magic and nostalgia for me.

Yet, despite this I’ve not been back to Cornwall since, at least not until Domi and Phil booked me for their wedding at St Enodoc Church in Trebetherick. From that moment I had been counting down the day to my return…

Their wedding started unusually with the boys surfing at Polzeath beach while Dominique got ready at her parents in Rock.

St Enodoc church is honestly the most beautifully located church I’ve ever shot at. The view of St Enodoc aligns perfectly with the Jurassic Cornish coastline that leads to Daymer Bay.

After the ceremony we headed back to Domi’s parents for a reception in a Yurt where the September sun kept us warm. The speeches took place outside followed by a Conga to the beach.

The evening continued and I stayed until the late hours where all the fun continued until close.

Upwaltham Barns By Chris Giles

Here is Kelly and Mike’s wedding from late March at Upwaltham Barns.

It was the time of year when you never know what the weather is going to do and fortunately the Barns lend themselves well to this and also for photos if it does eventually rain like above!

Kelly got ready with the girls up the road at Hollandsfield Lodge before finishing prep at the Jasmine cottage on site with their ceremony following shortly after.

After about 9pm things start to get a little crazy on any dancefloor, that extra vodka, the ‘surprise Jagerbomb’ always seems to have a positive effect on the crowd…

Here’s some more photos from Kelly and Mike’s wedding day:

Media Corporations

written by dcadmin

While in the middle of hiring a new member of my marketing team, a few weeks back, I sensed an unknown judgement sneak into my evaluation process. I would immediately scan the page, with each resume, looking for some kind of media background. A sign that the individual competing for this position had knowledge of media and literary masterminds from years past, knew how to explore the streets looking for clues and sources, and had experience in the newsroom.

Around the same time every morning I leave my house and walk to my office that is just over a mile away. I pass park police putting up hammocks in parklets that cut back the Atlantic Avenue’s center. I walk past a row of media trucks, just before I reach Thomson Place in Boston’s neighborhood of Fort Point, that were covering high-profile cases.

On the side of the road, global news teams from CBS, FOX and CNN sit, going through their notes, before addressing their audiences by standing in front of their cameras. As the news anchor is about to go on, I sometimes make an eye contact with him. I ask myself, What’s he going to say? After that, he straightens his back, snaps his eyes and delivers his story to the audiences with authority and poise.
