How Our Tides Aligned

The couple

Coral and Finn's love story began where the land meets the sea – on a windswept beach in Cornwall during a marine biology field trip. Coral was studying coastal ecosystems for her environmental science degree, while Finn was there documenting the local wildlife for his photography project.

They first spoke when Coral noticed Finn photographing the same tide pools she was sampling. "Are you getting the hermit crabs?" she asked, looking up from her waterproof notebook. "They're my favorite part of this ecosystem." Finn laughed and showed her his macro lens shots of the tiny creatures. "Mine too. Want to see what I captured?"

What started as comparing research notes and photography techniques turned into hours of beachcombing together. They discovered they both felt most at peace by the ocean, shared a passion for marine conservation, and had dreams of traveling to remote coastlines around the world.

Their relationship deepened like the changing tides. They spent weekends exploring hidden coves, collecting sea glass, and planning their shared future. Finn proposed at sunrise on the same beach where they met, presenting Coral with a ring featuring a sustainable lab-grown diamond set in recycled gold – a symbol of their commitment to each other and the planet they love.

Now they're ready to celebrate their love with a coastal wedding that honors both their commitment to each other and their respect for the ocean that brought them together. They can't wait to exchange vows with their toes in the sand, surrounded by the people who matter most and the endless horizon that represents their future together.

Questions & Tides

What should I wear to a beach wedding?

Coastal elegant! Think flowing fabrics, lighter colors, and comfortable shoes for sand. Avoid stilettos (they sink!). Wedges, flats, or even barefoot are perfect. Bring a light jacket for evening ocean breezes.

Will the ceremony be on the actual beach?

Yes! We'll be right on the sand with the ocean as our backdrop. We'll provide comfortable seating and parasols for shade.

What if it rains?

We have a beautiful covered pavilion overlooking the beach as our backup plan. Rain or shine, we'll have an ocean view for our special day!

Is parking available?

Yes, there's a car park at the beach entrance (free for wedding guests). It's about a 3-minute walk across the dunes to our ceremony site.

Are children welcome?

Absolutely! The beach is a perfect playground for kids. We'll have some beach toys and activities available for the little ones.

Can I bring my dog?

We'd love to include your furry friends! The beach is dog-friendly. Please let us know when you RSVP so we can prepare some doggy treats and fresh water.

What time should I arrive?

Please arrive by 3:45 PM to get settled on the beach before our 4:00 PM ceremony. This gives time to navigate the sandy path and find your seat.

Will there be vegetarian/vegan options?

Yes! Cornwall has amazing plant-based ingredients and our chef has created delicious vegetarian and vegan options featuring local produce and sea vegetables.

When do you need my RSVP?

Please respond by June 30th, 2025, so we can confirm numbers with our caterers and arrange seating.
