Prussia Cove Wedding Photography in the Winter This was my first time photographing a wedding here, and it was a delight to provide the Prussia Cove wedding photography. Ailana and Robin’s Winter wedding setting was the amazing coastal manor house Porth En Alls in Prussia Cove, Cornwall. Previously King’s Cove, it was once used by the 18th-century…
