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.

How to Use Your Online Photo Gallery

I am always in search of ways to make things easier for my clients. Last year I began using a new online photo gallery so clients could share photos in an efficient, mobile-friendly manner. The system, run by Pixieset, has worked superbly for a year, and I have now expanded my use of the galleries so that clients can receive all of their photos directly through their online photo gallery. Find out all the ins and outs of using the Pixieset online photo gallery system in today’s blog post.

What is an Online Photo Gallery?

Let’s start with the basics. Your online photo gallery is where you will find all of the edited photo files from your wedding, portrait session, or family event. You can view your photos, mark your favorites, and even order prints and products directly from your online photo gallery. In all of the research I conducted trying to find the perfect online photo gallery, Pixieset was the easiest to view and the most attractive in terms of digital display. I hope you find it as easy to use as I do.

How Do I View My Photos?

When your photos are fully edited, I will send you a link to your gallery via email. Simply click on the box entitled ‘View Photos,’ and it will take you to a new web page. Note: Pixieset works best when you’re using either Google Chrome or Firefox. I had a client have issues when accessing his photos using Internet Explorer, so make sure Chrome or Firefox is your web browser of choice.

Scroll down past the main image and you will see a grid of photos. For each client, photos are normally organized into multiple pages according to either location (for portraits) or event (getting ready, ceremony, first dance, etc.). Normally the first page of any client gallery will be a ‘Highlights’ page showing a selection of my top photo picks. If you want to see an image enlarged, simply click on the specific image for a bigger view. To get out of the enlarged view and return to the grid view, click on the small ‘x’ in the upper right hand corner of the page.

What Can I Do With My Photos?

You have several options of what you can do with each photo. Here is a guide to the tools you will find:

  • Favorite: Select the image as a favorite using the heart-shaped icon.
  • Share: Share the image via social media using the arrow icon in the mobile view or ‘Share’ in the desktop view.
  • Download: Download the image to your own computer or phone using the down arrow.
  • Purchase: Purchase a print or product of the image using the shopping cart icon.

The tools determining what you do with an image can be found along the top menu bar if you are in the desktop view or by clicking on the three parallel lines in the top right hand corner of the page if you are on your phone. In the desktop view, you will also see the menu icons across the top of the enlarged image.

Navigation and Image Titles

To view more photos within the gallery, click on the three parallel lines in the upper right hand corner of the gallery (mobile view) or click on the gallery names running along the top of the gallery page just underneath the main image (desktop view). This will bring you to a page showing all of the galleries plus all of the tools you can use on the individual photos.

To find the title of an image:

  • In desktop view, click once on an image for an enlarged view; the title of the image will be running along the bottom of the image.
  • In mobile view, click once on an image for an enlarged view, then click the three dots in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

Using the ‘Favorites’ Feature

Favorites is a great way to select your best photos and compile them into a list. Favorites is also how I work with clients when creating an album. Whenever I create an album for a client, I first ask for clients to give me a list of the photos they like best. To start a list of favorite images, find an image you like and simply click on the heart icon. The first time you select an image to be a favorite, Pixieset asks for your email address. Enter your email address and you are ready to go. If you are in desktop view, you can select images by clicking the white heart icon you find when hovering over an image in the summary grid view.

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.
