Cornwall Wedding Photographer

Unposed, Natural, Relaxed Professional Photography

Hey! I'm Steven. I am a Cornwall Wedding Photographer. I have been professionally photographing weddings since 2004 and have captured hundreds of happy couples. Before I was a wedding photographer I was a professional music photographer working worldwide with big acts. My approach to wedding photography is simple: to create a whole story that documents your most important day in the most natural and beautiful way possible. Working on all that the pictures are captured for forever. I will always look to capture your special day naturally and organically, documenting the fun, laughter and happiness as and how it occurs. I cover set up, love, photographs of your big day directing you or your guests. I follow the narrative of the day and capture all of the magical moments.

Essential Guide to Creating a Stress-Free Wedding Day Timeline

So you’re getting married, congrats! Your wedding day is coming up, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve been planning your day since you were 16. Your Pinterest has been prepared for this moment since 2012 and you’ve booked all the vendors who will bring your vision to life. But now comes the harder-than-it-looks task of creating your wedding timeline. You’re probably thinking, how the heck am I going to fit all of my dreams into one day while still enjoying it?

Creating a wedding timeline is not only great for organization on that amazing day, but for all of your vendors to be in the loop as well. Think of it as an extra step to make your wedding day flow smoothly! I recommend creating your timeline as early as you can in the wedding planning process.

Key Tips for Your Wedding Planning

Plan extra time all over the timeline. Here is a fact that never fails to be true: things will run behind on your wedding day. Here’s another fact I’ve learned along the way: the biggest thing that kills intimacy and joy is being rushed. Plan extra room everywhere in your timeline so you’re not left feeling rushed, so you can breathe, and so you actually have the time to pause and enjoy your wedding day.

Parts of the Wedding Timeline That Need Extra Time

  • Getting ready for the gals: Hair and makeup always takes a little longer than people budget for. This is also such a sweet time to spend with your girls in excited anticipation of what’s to come!!
  • Logistics and Travel: Driving to the venue, potential traffic, not being able to figure out how to tie a bowtie, forgetting something important at the getting-ready location, these are all things I’ve seen happen on a wedding day that make everything run behind.
  • Family & bridal party portraits: While we try to make these parts of the wedding day as efficient as possible, they are still important and deserve everyone’s full attention. Sometimes people drink too much and wrangling tipsy uncles becomes a problem, mothers want more combinations of people then you originally indicated, or one of the kids isn’t cooperating.

Choosing Your Wedding Day Experience

There are two ways your wedding day can go. Scenario one: You plan every “event” of the day back to back with little wiggle room in the name of efficiency. The day ends and it feels like you didn’t have a chance to talk with any of your guests, breathe, enjoy the fact that it’s your wedding day, or even have a drink because it was so hectic. Scenario two: You plan every “event” of the day with plenty of space between. You got to enjoy a quiet moment with each other and your bridal party got to gather around and pray over you before you walked down the aisle. You got to attend your cocktail hour and say hello to everyone involved.

Trust me, it is worth the extra little bit of money to spend an extra hour on your photographer or coordinator if it means you get to enjoy every part of your day.

Sample 6-Hour Wedding Timeline Breakdown

Use this timeline to get an idea of how much time is recommended for each category of photos on your wedding day to ensure a full amount of images in your gallery and creativity!

  • 2:30 PM: Photographer coverage starts – wedding detail shots.
  • Ceremony: The average amount of time is about 20 minutes (some ceremonies are 10 minutes, while others can be 45 minutes or more).
  • Reception: Things like your first dance, toasts, and cake cutting should be spread out during your reception so you got to really soak up the unique emotion of each of those moments.
  • 8:30 PM: Photographer coverage ends.

Photography Planning and Considerations

Consider doing a first look so you can knock out family & bridal party portraits before your ceremony. Keep in mind that every wedding is different and unique. Some brides would like more reception images and may opt out of a first look. Other brides may want to only take portraits before the ceremony. Use this as a general guideline and customize it to your own wedding! Finally, google your sunset time for your wedding date to ensure accurate timing.

Engagement and Couple Photographer Cornwall

As well as being a wedding photographer in Cornwall I am also a professional couple and engagement photoshoots. I love photographing love! In which I do love having photographed couples for the last 15 years in Cornwall and the rest of the world.

Whether you are a new couple or have been married for 50+ years, a professional couple is a wonderful gift. I have photographed couples of many stages of their relationship.

I always make sure the photoshoots are relaxed, unposed, and fun. Not many people enjoy having their photos taken, including me, which is why I make sure that you are both relaxed and happy during the shoot.

Engagement photoshoots are a great way to get used to the camera before your wedding and are offered as part of my wedding photography.
