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.

A Little Bit About Me

I love being a wedding photographer in Cornwall. I've 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. Photography has always been a huge passion of mine ever since I was a child.

I grew up in Cornwall but have enjoyed travelling the world as much as possible since my early 20s. Not only do I love photographing weddings in Cornwall, I've never been lucky enough to capture couples special days all over the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.

Documentary Wedding Photography in the San Francisco Bay Area

A photograph can be a time travel machine. It shocks you out of the present and transports you across time and space. Imagine you had a wedding album full of photographs like that. Weddings and elopements are all about telling stories—your story. The years of your life shared, the months poured into planning your celebration, and the culmination of the big day itself.

Our Approach to Storytelling

The mission is to tell authentic love stories in an emotional and beautiful way. Paul Gargagliano of Hazel Photo specializes in a style called documentary wedding photography, that brings all of the authenticity, whimsy, and emotion from photojournalism to wedding photography. With a fine art photojournalistic approach, photographers excel at candid moments and beautiful, unposed portraits. We believe that the experience is more important than the photoshoot. Every couple has a unique and valuable perspective, and we’re passionate about amplifying those voices and showcasing the diversity and beauty of love.

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.
