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.

Explore the transformative power of wedding lighting to craft an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Wedding Arch and Aisle Decor

The wedding arch and aisle decor set the stage for one of the most memorable moments of your life: your walk down the aisle. Whether you exchange vows beneath a canopy of flowers or amidst a forest of twinkling lights, the arch and aisle decor create a magical backdrop for your love story.

Escort Card Displays and Seating Arrangements

Escort card displays and seating arrangements guide your guests to their seats and offer an opportunity to infuse personality and creativity into your reception decor. From elegant escort card tables to whimsical seating charts, these elements add a touch of charm and organisation to your celebration.

Rustic Wedding Reception Decoration Ideas

Embrace the charm of the countryside and the simplicity of nature with rustic wedding ideas that exude warmth and authenticity. From weathered wood to wildflowers, each element captures the essence of rustic elegance, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere for you and your guests. You can infuse rustic charm into your reception with wood farm tables adorned with soft pink runners, creating a delicate yet elegant contrast that complements the natural beauty of the surroundings.

DIY Wedding Decor: Simple Ideas for Any Ceremony

Weddings are authentic expressions of each couple’s love story. Your big day should consist of everything that makes your heart skip a beat, which is why DIY wedding decor is a great option to consider. You could add homemade decorations to your venue to put more of a personal touch on your ceremony and reception.

  • Calligraphy Signs: Looking to cut expenses with DIY wedding decor makes sense, given how signage can contribute to the bill. Make them on your own to save some money by getting the signage you prefer and using a calligraphy pen to write each word.
  • Reception Place Cards: If you love the idea of place cards, make them at home. You could use your newfound calligraphy skills to turn blank business cards into seating guides.
  • Floral Centerpieces: Save money and get blooms that last forever by making your own silk arrangements. You could choose two to three types of flowers, put them in matching vases and arrange them with varying heights, colors and textures.
  • Scented Candles: There are so many ways you could use candles as wedding decor. Try making them yourself with glass jars, wax, wicks and essential oils in your favorite scents.

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.
