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.

Top 12 Locations for Cape Cod Engagement Photos

Whether you and your partner make it a point to come to the Cape every summer or you are a local spending countless hours on the water, there are so many amazing spots to capture a Cape Cod engagement session. Roughly a 2 hour drive from downtown Boston to Falmouth, the Cape’s pristine beaches and warm waters are well worth the drive. The list below consists of the best locations whether you are looking for iconic lighthouses or towering dunes on a sandy beach. Plus the Cape is extra special since on various points we are able to watch the sunset over the ocean.

Planning Your Cape Cod Engagement Session

Some things to note if you are considering a Cape couples session is the tide charts & parking. Whenever choosing a Cape location right on the water, we make sure to find a time that fits your schedule but also allows enough walking space on the sand. Ideally we are shooting at low tide, but I’ve also scouted these beaches enough to know if there is still plenty of room at high tide.

The other point to consider is parking and crowds. Cape Cod is beautiful all year round, so don’t count out a beach session even if it’s a fall or winter month. If you plan to have a Cape Cod engagement session during summer peak season (Memorial Day to Labor Day) you’ll just want to be more aware of crowds and parking fees. Most Cape Cod beaches charge a daily parking rate anywhere from $20-$30 a day if you aren’t a resident. If we are shooting at a more popular beach during the summer, I always suggest a sunrise session so you can enjoy your time on the beach without an audience.

Best Cape Cod Regions for Photography

The Cape is divided into several distinct areas, each offering unique backdrops for your photos:

Region Towns Included
Upper Cape Bourne, Falmouth, Sandwich, Mashpee
Mid Cape Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis
Lower Cape Orleans, Chatham, Harwich, Brewster
Outer Cape Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, Provincetown

Top Featured Locations

Nobska Lighthouse (Woods Hole)

This iconic Woods Hole lighthouse is still worth the drive even though it is currently undergoing construction on the grounds. The first lighthouse on Nobska Point was built in 1829 and the last commander lived onsite up until 2013. You can still get plenty of pretty views of the lighthouse for your cape cod engagement photos that block out the black fence by doing the shoot from across the street. This spot also provides a picturesque background of the rocky coastline. Parking is free, but the lot only has about 5 spaces available.

The Knob (Woods Hole)

The Cornelia Carey Sanctuary or “The Knob” as locals call it is a Woods Hole gem. You have so many background options from sailboats, a small beach, a lookout point, and even woods. To get to “The Knob” you just take the trail to the right to find yourself on the little peninsula jutting out into Buzzards Bay. For a date night idea, you can grab a pizza, a blanket, and head to the beach area at low tide to watch the sunset over the water.

Chatham Lighthouse Beach (Chatham)

Located on the Cape’s “elbow”, The Chatham Lighthouse is one of the most famous lighthouses on Cape Cod towering 80 feet above sea level. You can have a beautiful session combining the lighthouse (that still operates 24 hours a day) and beach across the street. There is a small free parking lot across the street.

Mayflower Beach and Grey’s Beach (Dennis)

Mayflower Beach is one of the best locations if you want the sun to set over the ocean. Many couples who are huge beach lovers find it makes sense to have their photos taken at Grey’s Beach and Mayflower Beach in Dennis, MA. These spots are perfect for a fun and laid-back session.

Nauset Light Beach (Eastham)

Nauset Light Beach is a versatile location perfect for a lighthouse engagement session, photos with towering dunes, or capturing the sun as it rises over the ocean.

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.
