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.

The Best Beaches in Cornwall for Families

Cornwall has an abundance of beaches to chose from, to get the best beach day out for everyone, these are the best beaches in the county with options for every one. Most beaches in Cornwall aren’t hard to get to, but there are only a few that cater to wheelchairs and pushchairs, strollers and buggies. These are the best beaches in Cornwall for accessibility but are also some of the most beautiful beaches.

Top Accessible Beaches for Families

Porthmeor, St Ives

Located on the edge of the stunning St Ives and across from the Tate, this beach is a beautiful blend of traditional Cornish Town and beach side fun. Overlooking two picturesque, vibrant green cliffs, a small bay opens up with golden sand and an easily access slip road down. Porthmeor has been awarded the Blue Flag and Seaside Awards, which are given only to the cleanest, best water quality and safest beaches in England along with the best services and lifeguards. The cliffs and location of Porthmeor protect it from the wind and sea, making it a great beach for swimming. You’ll find no shortage of food options in St Ives and a surf school right on the beach with plenty of waves and RNLI patrols to keep everyone going all day. You can easily find yourself strolling down from town, into the sea, up to the small cliffs, along the coast or into a cafe and back.

Sennen Cove

Sennen is one of the best beaches in Cornwall hands down and is not to be missed. Despite being more remote, you’ll find long stretches of golden sand, turquoise water, good surf and food options here. Sennen is also surrounded by cliffs offering stunning views into the turquoise water making you feel like you are somewhere more exotic than England. A slip road gives easy access to pushchairs and wheelchairs meaning anyone can enjoy this amazing beach! If you want to get the whole family out into a more remote and natural environment, then this is the beach for you.

Marazion

Marazion is not to be overlooked as a beach to visit, with stunning views of St Michaels Mount, a newly renovated kids’ playground, mermaid pools, long stretches of sand and just a stone’s throw from Penzance, you could spend the whole day here. This is one of Cornwall’s best beaches for a clash of nature, iconic scenery and traditional Cornish towns in the distance. The car park is right next to the beach, a slip road that will get you to the sand and the playground right next to it all. St Michaels Mount off the coast of Marazion is explorable with a castle at its peak is a must-see on any trip.

Scenic and Hidden Coastal Spots

Perranuthnoe

Perranuthoe on the south coast is less popular than the others but has everything you could want on a beach. A slip road and stairs allow access for everyone and you’ll find pebbles and sand across the beach to keep every age entertained. Prior to the beach, you’ll find the popular Cabin Beach Cafe, offering ice cream, food and snacks, with tables overlooking the beach! Perranuthnoe gets plenty of surf as well and is patrolled by the RNLI, making it a great option for swimming. Notably, Perranuthnoe hosts a hidden part of Cornwall’s history, with a hidden Georgian-era sea cave bath that has to be seen to believe. There are rock pools at one end of the beach and this beach has space available at low and high tides.

Porthtowan

Porthtowan offers some of the best surf in Cornwall, but it is also easily accessed, with multiple walking paths going back up the cliff. Porthtowan has also been awarded the Blue Flag and Seaside Awards, which are given only to the cleanest, best water quality and safest beaches in England along with the best services and lifeguards. On a lower tide, Porthtowan opens up, providing long stretches of sand you can walk along, allowing you to walk below the cliffs, however, be mindful to not get cut off by the tide. Before you get to the beach you’ll find multiple different pubs and cafes with beach views, as well as the insanely good Moomaid of Zennor ice cream parlour.

Porthminster Beach – St Ives

Porthminster Beach is located in the heart of St Ives and is protected in the bay of St Ives, making it a wonderful place to swim. Patrolled by the RNLI this beach will keep kids splashing for hours and you can even sit in the cafe on the edge of the beach to recharge! The best place to park to visit Porthminster Beach is St Ives train centre as it’s just above the beach and so just 100m away. If that car park is full, we suggest going to Trenwith car park and catching the bus to the train station.

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.
