Hello and welcome to the MK Collins Photography blog. Here in these blog posts, you will find photos showing all the excitement, drama and emotion from recent weddings, as well as engagement shoots, lifestyle portrait sessions and anything else newsworthy.
As you will see from the images in this blog, some of the wedding and engagement shoot locations are absolutely stunning. I feel extremely lucky to be a North Devon wedding photographer, allowing me to capture weddings in this gorgeous part of the UK.

Lucy & David Engagement shoot, Hyde Park, London
Hard to believe when you look at these photos, but we are right in the heart of London's bustling West End. Hyde Park is a jewel in London's crown, a place for city folk to go and have a bit of breathing space, away from the rat race of London.
I grew up close to the Park and had a few quiet spot...

Hannah & Gary wedding Bishops Nympton
Hannah and Gary booked me for their wedding way back in January of 2013, almost a year and a half before their chosen date. Despite the terrible weather we encountered on the day, the long wait for this wedding was well worth it. My day started in High Bickington, where I met with Gary and his best men, Toby...

I've known Frances for a few years now, ever since she became my son's babysitter and it was lovely to hear when she and fiancé Mark announced they were engaged! I was also delighted when she asked me to photograph their wedding.
They chose the wonderful wedding venue of Ocean Kave for their spec...

Hannah & Luke wedding, Pier House, Westward Ho!
Hannah and Luke's wedding took me to the village of Bratton Fleming and St Peters church, but not before I stopped off in Barnstaple at Hannah's parents house to capture the bridal preparations. I got there just in time to see Hannah open a package containing a DVD from Luke which he'd asked her to...

Tracey & Liam wedding, The Park Hotel, Barnstaple
I often get asked a lot of questions about what its like to actually shoot a wedding. I always reply with the same answer. It can be a long day and be quite exhausting, but it is also incredibly rewarding and most importantly, it can be fun.
The wedding of Tracey and Liam certainly rings true to...

Real engagement shoot at Ocean Kave!
Now this was a real first for me. I've done lots of engagement shoots for my wedding couples, but this one was certainly different. Although they are called engagement shoots, they really have very little to do with an actual engagement. However, this was a real engagement! Luke actually proposed to Emily durin...

I was really pleased when Sarah and Dave chose Saunton Beach for their shoot, although we had to postpone it once or twice due to terrible weather, we did finally make it a couple of weeks ago on a glorious sun swept evening with an amazing sunset. Their wedding is a few weeks away at The Fox and Hounds and I can't wait to shoot it. Lets hope for s...
