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 Winter Beach Wedding Guide: Plan Your Beach Wedding

A winter beach wedding combines the beauty of a beach setting with the unique charm of a winter celebration. With the right planning and preparation, you can create a memorable and romantic wedding day. Plan your winter beach wedding carefully to combine the beauty of the beach with the magic of the winter season. Consider the location, weather, attire, and decor to ensure that your winter beach wedding is a success.

Choosing the Perfect Beach Wedding Venue

One of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the perfect beach venue. The right location can set the stage for a beautiful ceremony and provide a comfortable setting for you and your guests. Selecting the ideal location for your beach wedding venue is a pivotal decision in ensuring your special day is as beautiful as you envision it. When considering the perfect backdrop for your wedding ceremony, explore a range of stunning beach wedding destinations.

  • St. Augustine, Florida: Offers stunning views and a vibrant atmosphere.
  • Jacksonville Beach: Nestled along the scenic coastline, it offers a picturesque setting with serene waves and sandy shores.
  • Amelia Island: A captivating location that exudes charm and elegance with pristine beaches and lush natural surroundings.
  • Jekyll Island, Georgia: A hidden gem for beach weddings that offers a unique and enchanting backdrop for your celebration.

Ensure that your chosen venue offers all the amenities you’ll need for your winter beach wedding. Look for venues with indoor spaces for a cozy reception, as well as outdoor areas for a picturesque ceremony. Consider the following popular locations and their characteristics:

Venue Name Location Amenities & Notes
Anastasia State Park St. Augustine, FL Pristine beach front, old Florida Dunes, Sawgrasses, Marshlands, view of St. Augustine Lighthouse.
Castillo De San Marcos St. Augustine, FL Historic fort, stunning landscape for photography, near historic district.
GTM Research Reserve Vilano Beach, FL Beach and courtyard ceremony options, indoor and outdoor spaces, large guest capacity.
Atlantic Beach Atlantic Beach, FL White sand, blue beaches, residential public access points, near hotels and nightlife.

Decoding Beach Wedding Attire

Your beach wedding attire should reflect your personal style while still being practical for the sun, sand, and sea. When choosing the perfect beach wedding dress, keep these tips in mind: lightweight, airy fabrics like chiffon, tulle, and organza are great options for beach weddings. A flowy, uncomplicated silhouette that moves with the sea breeze is the perfect beach wedding dress. Look for dresses that complement the beach setting, such as a bohemian crochet gown or a mermaid dress with a fishtail hem.

Attire for the groom and guests is equally important. For instance, a white linen shirt and pants are perfect for the beach. To complete the look, you can add a floral crown, beaded sandals or seashell jewelry to complete your beachy bridal look. Always remember to find attire that is comfortable, lightweight, and suitable for the sand and sun.

Best Beach Wedding Destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean

If you are looking for the BEST beach to get married on, consider international destinations. Mexico and the Caribbean offer all-inclusive resorts with ready-made wedding packages and set pricing that are customizable.

Top Destination Spots:

  • Cabo San Lucas: A romantic and lavish resort city with dreamy beaches and enchanting coastlines located at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula.
  • Playa Mujeres: A seaside resort community just north of Cancun that is totally underrated, offering crystal clear waters and affordable resorts.
  • Riviera Maya: A resort district in Mexico that’s home to several enchanting beaches and is known for its all-inclusive resorts.

Whichever resort you choose to host your wedding, you’ll get your money’s worth! Standard wedding packages often include a symbolic ceremony, bouquet and boutonniere, wedding décor, cocktail hour, and reception. Many affordable beach wedding venues offer fantastic packages, allowing you to get everything you need at a reasonable rate.

Creative Ideas for a Memorable Ceremony

Create a memorable ceremony by incorporating winter-themed decor and creative ideas. You might consider a beautiful semi-circle ground floral installation or creative photo ideas for your destination wedding. When planning, consider the weather and time of day when planning your beach wedding ceremony. Whether it is an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, make the day all about you and reflect your unique individual personality.

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.
