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. Before I was a wedding photographer I was a professional music photographer working worldwide with big acts. Photography has always been a huge passion of mine ever since I was a child.

I grew up in Cornwall but have enjoyed travelling the world as much as possible since my early 20s. Not only do I love photographing weddings in Cornwall, I've never been lucky enough to capture couples special days all over the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.

Cape Cod Surprise Proposal Photography Guide

Cape Cod has always been a special place. From Falmouth to the National Seashore beaches, each part of the Cape has its own special charm. This blog post highlights a Falmouth beach proposal, captured by Cape Cod proposal photographer Meghan Lynch. I’m very familiar with all the Cape towns and have loads of suggestions if you need them!

Planning Your Cape Cod Proposal Session

What time of day do Cape Cod proposal sessions take place? Cape Cod surprise proposal sessions take place within 90 minutes after sunrise or 90 minutes before sunset. If you want a majority of your photos by the ocean where you aren’t squinting into the sun then I suggest selecting a location (I’ll help with suggestions) where the sun is either rising or setting over the ocean to give you that dreamy backlit look. To ensure the best environment, I’ll also be researching the tide charts for our beach session so you’ll have the widest amount of sandy beach to walk on- plus less seaweed!

Cape Cod Proposal Backdrop Options

  • Ocean views
  • Sandy beaches
  • Lighthouses
  • Towering dunes
  • Beaches with the best chance for seal sightings

Best Locations for Your Proposal

Choosing the right location depends on your preferred timing. Every season holds the promise of love and adventure. My favorite locations for a sunrise beach proposal include Nobska Beach, Chatham Lighthouse Beach, Nauset Beach, Nauset Light Beach, Marconi Beach, and White Crest Beach. For those looking for the evening glow, my favorite locations for a sunset beach proposal include First Encounter Beach, Mayflower Beach, Rock Harbor Beach, and Paine’s Creek Beach.

Session Type Recommended Cape Cod Locations
Sunrise Proposal Nobska Beach, Chatham Lighthouse Beach, Nauset Beach, Nauset Light Beach, Marconi Beach, White Crest Beach
Sunset Proposal First Encounter Beach, Mayflower Beach, Rock Harbor Beach, Paine’s Creek Beach

Chatham Lighthouse Beach, Nauset Beach, and Nauset Light Beach are still good options for those who would rather the glowy backlit photos to be by the dunes but just be aware the sun won’t set on this side of the Cape.

Real Life Inspiration: Jenna & Joe

Jenna & Joe met in high school (starting out as close friends) and remember having their first dates at one of the restaurants at the Natick Mall when they were 16. It was only fitting for Joe to pop the question close to his family’s home in gorgeous Falmouth. We took more photos at Menauhant Beach across the street then these two were off to celebrate with dinner & cozy up by a fire later in the evening.

Booking and Availability

I photograph Cape Cod surprise proposals Monday-Thursday during wedding busy season May-October. If you are proposing in my wedding off season November-April, I may have Friday-Sunday availability. Hey, it’s Meghan! I would love to capture your Cape Cod proposal. Reach out in my contact form here to see if I’m available!

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.
