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.

The Concerned Photographer and Humanist Photography at La Galerie Rouge

La Galerie Rouge propose une confrontation entre deux sensibilités photographiques qui ont marqué le XXe siècle et dont les œuvres résonnent aujourd’hui avec les problématiques de notre monde actuel : La Photographie Humaniste et « The Concerned Photography ».

Defining Photographic Sensibilities

La photographie humaniste est apparue en France dès les années 1930 et a nourri l’imaginaire visuel des années d’après-guerre en étant largement diffusée par les revues de cette époque. Elle est centrée sur l’être humain et le présente dans son environnement quotidien : les rues, les cafés, les bals et les parcs.

By contrast, « The Concerned Photographer » est un terme choisi par le photo-reporter américain Cornell Capa pour décrire des photographes qui utilisent la photographie pour éduquer et changer le monde, pas juste pour l’enregistrer. C’est une photographie profondément engagée et politique, née de la Seconde guerre mondiale et qui a cherché, en prenant pour sujet central l’être humain, ses espoirs et ses craintes, à approfondir les problématiques contemporaines, et à s’efforcer de les dénoncer afin d’éviter le retour de tragédies.

The Dialogue of Visions

Plutôt que d’opposer ces deux sensibilités, cette exposition souhaite les faire dialoguer et montrer qu’une vision poétique du monde ne s’oppose pas nécessairement à une vision engagée. En tant que photo-reporters, ils ont tous et toutes parcouru le monde à la recherche d’une certaine justice sociale et d’un monde plus humain. La Galerie Rouge invite le visiteur à se plonger dans l’histoire de ces deux mouvements et à découvrir les œuvres remarquables de photographes qui ont marqué la photographie du XXe siècle. Les tirages présentés, pour la plupart vintages, sont des pièces de collection.

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.
