Little Quarme Cottages Wedding
- Ieva and James celebrate their wedding at Little Quarme Cottages, Exmoor -
I had the pleasure of photographing Ieva and James’ wedding at Little Quarme Cottages, an amazing rural wedding venue in the Exmoor Hills, North Devon.
It was one hell of a party which is just what a wedding should be! 🙂
