Jersey, Channel Islands, what an amazing place to get married!

So recently I was looking around for somewhere 'different' to go on a post-wedding season short break, preferably flying from Newcastle Airport... and I discovered that EasyJet fly direct to Jersey, Channel Islands in just over an hour. Having been to Guernsey as a teenager and loved it,  I checked the weather estimates, and a quick look on google images and was absolutely sold, beautiful beaches and green sea, and I didn't even need my passport to get there! 

So last month we (me & friend!)  had a trip over there. From the first morning waking up at L'Horizon Spa Hotel  we didn't want to leave! 

Then I discovered that L'Horizon Spa Hotel does weddings. Because there was a bride and groom walking through reception looking very happy, of course, they were getting married with a beach view. This beach view.... St Brelades Bay... wow. It's October, and the sea is that colour... 

And I decided at that moment that I really, really want to return to Jersey to photograph a wedding.... 

sooooooo I had to do a blog post about it to tell you how much of an amazing place it is...Please excuse the not amazing quality of the photos as these were just snaps, mostly on my phone... (well I was on holiday after all......)

At L'Horizon Spa, you can have your wedding overlooking the beautiful bay, sea, and it has a terrace for drinks... lots of windows so you can see the view as much as possible. And sunshine, lots of sunshine... plus.....

It has sunsets like this: 

Secluded beaches such as Beauport Bay, with a rocky dramatic backdrops for some romantic wedding photos..... 

Seriously. I didn't need my passport to get here?! 

You could also get married at Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, which has some amazing animals such as gorillas and orang-utans.... 

ANNND if that wasn't enough. Jersey has some AMAZING food. Jersey cream, Jersey butter, Jersey Potatoes, Jersey Black Butter (seriously, look it up!)... the food is incredible and really will wow your wedding guests.

In October for around six weeks, Jersey plays host to Tennerfest which where lots of restaurants across the Channel Islands put on some fantastic and great value menus to sample their food. Of course we took advantage of this by going to the 5* Longueville Manor. A beautiful cosy country manor just outside of St. Helier with amazing food. If your wedding style is more country than beach....don't worry, you can also get married at Longueville Manor....

And there's me, happy in the sunshine and blue sky, in my sunnies, after a wonderful meal at Longueville Manor. 

Even the clouds make love heart shapes above St Brelades Bay....

If you're getting married in Jersey or on another of the Channel Islands,  and you're looking for fun & relaxed wedding photography... please drop me a line via my website . I am more than happy to travel for your big day :)
