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.

Inside the Stylish Three-Day Wedding of Abby Champion & Patrick Schwarzenegger

White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger and model Abby Champion celebrated their love with a three-day wedding in early September in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, planned by Ashley Graham Events. The festivities included an intimate farm-to-table rehearsal dinner, a welcome barbecue, and a breathtaking wedding day, with the couple giving an exclusive interview to Vogue and sharing photos from their special weekend.

How Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion Met

The couple’s story began in 2015 on a casual drinks date in Los Angeles with a mutual friend. Sparks flew between the two immediately. “He got my number, asked me out, and the rest is history,” Abby says. Eight years later, Patrick proposed to Abby while on an early morning beach walk in Santa Monica. It was intimate, relaxed, and everything I had ever imagined,” she says of their proposal. The actor, who's the son of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, announced his engagement to the model in December 2023.

The Three-Day Celebration Details

Ashley Graham Events acted as their wedding planner—with significant direction from Patrick himself. “Funny enough, it’s more Patrick’s personality to dive into the flowers and little details, so he helped with so much, which I absolutely loved,” says Abby.

Thursday: Rehearsal Dinner

On Thursday, September 4, they held an intimate farm-to-table rehearsal dinner with their families and the wedding party. For the rehearsal dinner, Abby wore a dreamy Zimmermann gown, while Patrick opted for a powder-blue Tom Ford suit.

Friday: Western Welcome Barbecue

Then on Friday, guests gathered at a Western-themed welcome barbecue at nearby Gozzer Ranch. The bride wore a long-sleeved lace Bec + Bridge dress, black cowboy boots, and a black hat. “Western night was a whole different vibe, and honestly, one of the most fun looks of the weekend,” says Abby. Patrick’s complete look was timeless and created by Tom Ford.

Saturday: The Wedding Ceremony

On Saturday, September 6, Abby walked down the aisle wearing a custom silk wool column gown with a high neck and dramatic deep V back by Danielle Frankel. In lieu of a traditional train, the bride opted for a silk overskirt with a hand-painted lining. She paired it all with soft tulle opera-length gloves and a fingertip-length veil. Patrick waited for her under a floral arch in a custom tuxedo by Haider Ackermann for Tom Ford. Her father officiated the ceremony on the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene, with the crystalline water and the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop.

Evening Reception and Wardrobe Change

After the ceremony and cocktail hour, Abby changed into a second Danielle Frankel gown – a hand-painted floral design with dripping strands of organza and delicate pearl trim, for the evening celebrations. “She even designed a matching neck scarf and ballet flats, which added such a playful touch,” says Abby. The newlyweds and their guests boated to Hagadone Event Center for the cocktail hour and reception where the dance floor opened after speeches from family and friends.

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.
