As a Cornwall wedding photographer, I love capturing couples who share a passion for adventure, and Katy and Iain are exactly that. For their engagement session, they wanted a location that reflected their love of the outdoors, and the Valley of the Rocks in Exmoor, North Devon was the perfect choice. With its dramatic cliffs, rugged paths, and breathtaking views, it offered a stunning backdrop for their outdoor engagement session in Devon.


From the start, Katy and Iain’s chemistry was amazing. Their love for adventure really came through, making it a dream session for adventurous photographers. The rocky landscape, winding paths, and hidden viewpoints of the Valley of the Rocks provided endless opportunities for capturing authentic, playful, and romantic moments.


And then as the sun began to set, we made our way down to the beach. The golden light reflecting on the water created the perfect atmosphere for some magical shots. True to their adventurous spirit, Katy and Iain couldn’t resist getting their feet—and a little more—in the water, creating fun, spontaneous images full of joy and connection.


Later this year, Katy and Iain will celebrate their wedding at Priston Mill in Bath, and this engagement session perfectly reflects the adventurous, fun-loving energy they’ll bring to their big day. From climbing together to splashing in the waves, it was a day filled with laughter, love, and memories they’ll treasure forever.


For couples looking for a location that combines natural beauty with a sense of adventure, the Valley of the Rocks is ideal. It’s perfect for engagement shoots and for couples who want images that feel relaxed, authentic, and full of life.


If you’re searching for a Devon wedding photographer who loves capturing couples in natural, adventurous settings, engagement sessions like Katy and Iain’s are a great example of how memorable and fun a day like this can be.
