Tunnels Beaches wedding photography and film
Tunnels Beaches is a beautiful wedding venue. Watch real wedding films from Tunnels Beaches by Big Day Productions.
We've filmed at some incredible spots along the South West coast, but Tunnels Beaches has something genuinely unlike anywhere else. Those hand-carved tunnels leading out to a private beach give you these dramatic, cinematic frames that just don't exist at other venues. The natural light bouncing off the water and the raw, rocky landscape make every shot feel effortless.
Getting to Tunnels Beaches
Ilfracombe is your nearest train station, though it closed decades ago, so you'll need to plan ahead. The closest working station is Barnstaple, around 14 miles away. From there, a taxi or pre-booked car is your best bet into Ilfracombe town centre, with Tunnels Beaches just a short walk from the high street. Exeter Airport is the most convenient major airport, roughly 50 miles southeast. Bristol Airport is another option if you're flying in from further afield. Parking is available at Tunnels Beaches itself, though spaces are limited. Ilfracombe town centre car parks are a short walk away and worth considering. For the evening, book your taxi home in advance. Local firms get busy, especially in summer, so sort this before the big day.

Frequently asked questions about Tunnels Beaches
What is it like getting married at Tunnels Beaches?
Tunnels Beaches is one of those venues that genuinely stops you in your tracks. You walk through hand-carved tunnels cut into the cliffs and emerge onto a private beach in North Devon, which makes for a ceremony setting unlike anything else in the South West. The combination of dramatic coastal scenery, natural rock formations, and that sense of total seclusion gives the whole day a feeling that is completely its own.
Can I watch real wedding films from Tunnels Beaches?
Yes, we have real wedding films from Tunnels Beaches right here on this page for you to watch. We always think it is far more useful to see how a venue actually looks and feels on camera than to read a description of it, so we encourage couples to take some time watching the films before getting in touch. Every wedding at Tunnels Beaches has its own personality, and the films reflect that.
How does the coastal setting at Tunnels Beaches affect videography and photography?
The light at Tunnels Beaches is genuinely spectacular and changes constantly depending on the time of day and the weather, which keeps things interesting for us as filmmakers and photographers. The tunnels themselves create beautiful natural framing opportunities, and the open beach gives us space to capture wide, cinematic shots that you simply cannot get at an inland venue. We do come prepared for coastal conditions, including wind and sea spray, but honestly those elements often add to the atmosphere on film.
How much does wedding videography at Tunnels Beaches cost with Big Day Productions?
Our wedding film packages start from around 1,595 pounds, and we offer a range of options to suit different needs and day lengths. Tunnels Beaches weddings often have a lot of movement between spaces, from the tunnels to the beach to the reception area, so we are happy to talk through which package would work best for the flow of your specific day. The best way to get a clear picture of pricing is to get in touch with us directly and we can put together something tailored to you.
