When it comes to small, intimate weddings with breathtaking coastal views, Ocean Kave is a true gem nestled in the heart of Devon. Specializing in elopements and intimate ceremonies, this award-winning venue offers a perfect blend of romance, charm, and natural beauty. Sally and James, a local couple, found their dream setting here, and their wedding story is a testament to the magic Ocean Kave brings to every couple’s special day.

Sally and James had always dreamed of saying their vows in a venue that captured the essence of their love for the sea. When they first visited Ocean Kave, they knew it was “the one.” With its panoramic ocean views and secluded charm, the venue offered everything they envisioned: a romantic backdrop to their heartfelt ceremony and the perfect place for their talented photographer to work her magic. After their vows, they planned to continue their celebration at a larger venue in central Bideford for a lively reception with all their loved ones.

To immortalize their special day, Sally and James enlisted the incredible Charlotte Atherton from Charlotte Atherton Photography. Known for her ability to capture natural, relaxed, and creative wedding moments, Charlotte brought her signature style to their ceremony. Her unique approach perfectly highlighted the couple’s love story against the stunning coastal scenery.

On the big day, excitement filled the air as guests arrived at Ocean Kave, eagerly anticipating Sally’s entrance. The moment she stepped out of a vintage camper van, it was pure magic. Dressed in a breathtaking gown paired with a chic vintage fascinator and playful pink boots, Sally made a statement that was both elegant and personal. Her handmade bouquet, crafted in shades of pink, complemented the natural beauty of the venue and added a touch of whimsy.

The outdoor ceremony was nothing short of enchanting. Set against the dramatic backdrop of waves crashing against the rocks, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, their love as endless as the sea before them. Sally had arranged a touching surprise for James: walking down the aisle to Placebo’s Beautiful James, a song that held deep meaning for them both. It was a moment filled with laughter, tears, and pure joy.

Adding to the charm, their beloved puppy, Pink, played an important role in the ceremony. Sally and James adopted Pink after booking Ocean Kave, knowing the venue’s pet-friendly policy would allow her to be part of their special day. Pink’s presence brought an extra layer of warmth and personality, making the ceremony uniquely theirs.

After the vows were exchanged and love was celebrated, the newlyweds took time to bask in the moment with a lighthearted photoshoot on the venue’s lush lawn. Charlotte Atherton’s skilful eye captured the joy, love, and stunning scenery in a way that turned their memories into timeless treasures. Finally, the couple bid farewell to Ocean Kave in their vintage camper van, ready to embark on the next chapter of their celebration.
