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.

10 Micro Wedding Venues in the Mountains of Colorado

Micro weddings are some of my favorite wedding day experiences to document! They’re such a unique mixture of the intimacy of an elopement and the energy and excitement of a more traditional sized wedding. They’re honestly so cool which is why I love how popular they’ve become here in Colorado! Even with the smaller size though, there is still a LOT of planning that goes into your micro wedding, and one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is finding a wedding venue! While this is one of the most important decisions for your wedding day it is also one of the most exciting, which is why I cannot wait to share my favorite venues in the mountains of Colorado that specialize in micro weddings!!

What is a Micro Wedding?

If you’re unfamiliar with the term micro wedding, the name is thankfully a very accurate description of them! They are wedding days with a much smaller guest list. The term is often interchangeable with intimate wedding, but no matter which name you go with it is a wedding with 50 or fewer guests. This smaller scale is the driving force in what makes these weddings so unique. Like I mentioned above, they are an incredibly cool mixture of intimacy and celebration.

Why Have a Micro Wedding?

That mixture I mentioned allows couples to really get creative with the look and feel of their micro wedding! With a micro wedding you can structure the timeline of your day in a way that just isn’t possible with a full size wedding. You can also book some of the best and most unique wedding venues in Colorado that only are available thanks to the smaller size of micro weddings! This smaller scale is the driving force in what makes these weddings so unique.

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.
