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.

I love being a wedding photographer in Cornwall. I've been professionally photographing weddings since 2004 and have captured hundreds of happy couples.

The best cameras for photography in 2026: perfect cameras for wildlife, landscapes, street and more

Want the best camera for photography? Here are the best for all genres of stills shooting, from portraits to landscapes, wildlife and more. In this guide, I’m focusing on the best cameras for photography. Nowadays, cameras are expected to be jacks of all trades, offering great video capabilities as well as superb stills. However, not everyone is bothered about such things, and if you’re someone whose only concern is capturing photographs, these are the cameras for you.

Expert Recommendations for Photography Disciplines

I’ve aimed to suggest a great camera for all the major disciplines of photographer. After all, a landscape photographer is going to have different needs to a wedding photographer. A sports photographer has different priorities to a macro photographer – and so on. The cameras on this list all have different niches and use cases. All the cameras on this list have been tested and fully reviewed by our team, and I’m only recommending cameras that have received a high rating from our expert reviewers. Higher-resolution mirrorless cameras tend to hold their value particularly well, as do iconic brands such as Leica.

  • Best camera for wildlife photography: Nikon Z8

  • Best camera for underwater photography: OM-System Tough TG-7
  • Best ultra-zoom compact camera: Nikon Coolpix P1100

Key Criteria for Choosing a Professional Camera

As a wedding photographer, there are three main things to consider when it comes to your camera body: sensor size, resolution, and autofocus (and more specifically, subject tracking). When considering a camera for weddings, sensor size is of upmost importance. After years of capturing images in all kinds of conditions, I recommend that you only purchase cameras with full frame sensors. Full frame sensors are important because they allow the camera to capture crisp images with low noise in dark conditions; providing clients with the best possible image quality. When comparing image quality side by side, the difference is astronomical.

Resolution and Low Light Performance

Contrary to belief, the best cameras for weddings and low light are not the cameras with a high megapixel count. A high megapixel count creates huge file sizes. I’d highly recommend looking for a sensor size around 20 - 30 MP. Each pixel in the lower resolution sensor has a larger surface area on the sensor compared to the higher resolution sensor, thus allowing more light to be processed on each pixel. The result is that each pixel is clearer and thus the noise is lower.

The Importance of Subject Tracking

If you are still using a DSLR, I would recommend jumping to mirrorless for this feature alone. It is truly revolutionary and results in astronomically better images for your clients. Subject tracing; and in particular, eye tracking technology, is a feature where the D850 was good, but when I bought my first Z6, it quickly became a glorified paperweight.

Professional Photography Gear Checklist

I believe every wedding photographer (and professional photographer) MUST have TWO cameras. You never know when / if something might happen to your primary camera, so I strongly recommend that you invest in two camera bodies. These are the cameras I keep in my photography bag:

  • Sony Alpha 7R IV Full Frame Mirrorless
  • Sony a7 III Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera
  • Pentax 645N Medium Format Film
  • Nikon 65N 35mm Film
  • DJI Mini 2 Drone Aerial Camera Bundle

To carry your gear, the Lowepro ProTactic BP 350 AW II is like the MVP of camera bags, with its roomy compartments and comfy design. You can stash multiple cameras, lenses, and all those little extras while keeping the weight balanced on your shoulders.

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.
