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.

Cornwall Wedding Photographer & Videographer | Elopements and Weddings, Cinematic and Timeless

Cornwall, located in the southwestern region of England, has become a popular destination for couples looking to tie the knot. With its stunning landscapes, picturesque beaches, and charming towns, Cornwall offers the perfect backdrop for a romantic and memorable wedding. In this article, we'll explore why Cornwall is such a fantastic place to host a wedding and to have your wedding photos and video captured there, with a special emphasis on the role of a Cornwall wedding photographer. Studio Westlake offers professional wedding photography and videography services throughout the county, capturing the beauty of Cornwall's natural landscapes and creating timeless images and videos. With attention to detail, creative vision, and passion, Studio Westlake can turn your wedding day into a work of art, reflecting your unique style and personality.

The Beauty of Cornwall's Wedding Venues

Firstly, Cornwall is known for its stunning natural beauty. From the rugged cliffs of the north coast to the sandy beaches of the south coast, Cornwall offers a diverse range of landscapes that provide a picturesque backdrop for your wedding day. Whether you're planning an intimate beach ceremony, grand castle celebration, or rustic countryside wedding, Studio Westlake has the skills and expertise to capture every moment with care and professionalism. Cornwall's picturesque coastal landscapes, rugged moorlands, and charming villages make it an ideal location for photography and videography enthusiasts. For instance, Nancarrow Farm is is a rural haven, set in 100 acres of Cornish countryside. Trestle tables and rustic-luxe reclaimed furnishings create a beautifully lived-in environment. Nadia & Rich’s wedding at Nancarrow Farm was the embodiment of what a great wedding should be: full of fun and frivolity, this wedding lacked nothing, with a wonderful atmosphere, good wine and excellent food.

Additionally, Colan Barton is a 350 year old property set amongst 11 acres of rolling Cornish countryside. It was here that Abi & Sam whisked a select group of friends and family to celebrate a wedding during the summer of 2020. The day had an intimate and deeply personal quality to it, proving that even a small wedding can be something truly special. For those looking for elopements, Cornwall is synonymous with rugged beauty. So what better backdrop to capture your elopement than the North Cornish Coast? As seen with Ally and Paul, before the chaos of parenthood, it was time to have some fun and capture some truly beautiful images.

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.
