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.

Best Destination Wedding Locations | Fine Art Wedding Photographer

If you have decided to have a destination wedding, congratulations! I know you might have a busy road ahead of you, but trust me when I say that all of the time and effort you put into planning your destination wedding will be so very worth it in the end. First up on your wedding planning list? Choosing a destination wedding location (and soon after, your planner and photographer). While seemingly an easy decision, this process can sidetrack couples for months as essentially the sky is the limit when you are having a destination wedding.

To help, I’ve put together my list of the best destination wedding locations where you are nearly guaranteed a beautiful wedding, stunning photos, and most importantly a truly magical experience for you and your guests.

Top Destination Wedding Regions

Wine Country

I may be a bit biased (we ourselves recently had a destination wedding in California’s wine country), but for the couple who loves great food, fabulous wine, and a beautiful natural environment, I don’t think there is a much better place to get married than in wine country. Whether you’re in Napa, the Willamette Valley, Bordeaux, or South Africa’s Franschhoek region, a wine country wedding almost guarantees for a gorgeous and elegant destination wedding.

Charleston

My favorite city in the US, Charleston is absolutely overflowing with beautiful wedding venues (like my personal favorite – Boone Hall Plantation). Plus, its beautiful cobblestone streets, pastel buildings, and lush foliage ensure for a stunning backdrop for your photos. Whether you see yourselves being married in a historic estate downtown or under the mossy oak trees of a sprawling plantation, Charleston offers the perfect mix of culture and charm for any modern couple.

Caribbean

If your idea of a destination wedding is spending four days in paradise with friends and family, the Caribbean is a great choice that makes for an easy and convenient location for guests. Charter a boat for a sunset snorkeling trip, have your rehearsal dinner on the beach under strands of string lights, and for your wedding day, a beautiful century tent creates the perfect coastal chic ambiance. My favorite destination? Harbour Island.

Aspen and the French Alps

If you are looking for mountainside elegance, look no further than Aspen, Colorado. Guests will love the fantastic outdoor activities during the day, and the world-renowned restaurants and nightlife during the evenings. Prefer a more international soiree? The French Alps are the perfect combination of sophistication and charm (my favorite town is Megeve).

European Romance and Luxury

Paris

In my opinion, Paris is the most beautiful and most romantic city in the world, so of course, it makes for a truly magical location for a destination wedding. Whether you choose to have an intimate ceremony in a quiet courtyard or an elaborate fete in a five-star hotel, there is truly a venue for everyone in the City of Light. My absolute favorite venue in Paris? The stunning mansion and gardens of the Musee Rodin.

Venice

A ‘just married’ gondola ride through the canals, dancing at midnight in St. Mark’s Square, out of this world gorgeous architecture, and classic old-world romance are just a few of the reasons that Venice, Italy is an absolute dream destination wedding location.

Tuscany

Whether you see yourself being married in an ancient cathedral in the heart of one of Tuscany’s many beautiful hill-towns, or rather a sprawling Renaissance villa, nowhere is the feeling of ‘la dolce vita’ more evident than in Tuscany. While there are a plethora of beautiful destination wedding venues in Tuscany, my two favorites are Villa di Geggiano and Borgo Santo Pietro.

Lake Como

For the ultimate in Italian luxury and glamour, there is simply no place more elegant than the famed Lake Como. Dotted with stunning villas and sprawling formal gardens, if this mythical lake wasn’t beautiful enough it is surrounded by the most spectacular fog covered mountains (which are also the perfect backdrop for fine art wedding photos). Two of my favorite wedding venues on Lake Como are Grand Hotel Tremezzo and Villa del Balbianello.

Santorini

If you’re looking for a destination wedding location with a bohemian spirit I highly recommend the spectacular Greek island of Santorini. With the most postcard-worthy views and world-famous sunsets, your guests will be absolutely spellbound by this one-of-a-kind destination. I highly recommend the Katikies Hotel as a venue.

Summary of Recommended Venues and Locations

  • Wine Country: Napa, Willamette Valley, Bordeaux, Franschhoek
  • Charleston: Boone Hall Plantation, Historic Downtown Estates
  • Caribbean: Harbour Island
  • Mountains: Aspen (Colorado), Megeve (French Alps)

The Fine Art Wedding Photography Experience

Why film wedding photography is like a quiet luxury in our noisy digital world? We live in a world where everything is fast, loud, and flashy, and we are constantly bombarded by visual content—digital images, videos, and sounds that compete for our attention and overwhelm our senses. As a film documentary wedding photographer with editorial flare based in California and available worldwide, I aim to capture the perfect backdrop for fine art wedding photos.

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.
