Cornwall Wedding Photographer at St Ives Harbour Hotel // Rachel & Dan
Wedding Photography for Rachel and Dan at St Ives Harbour Hotel in Cornwall. A stunning sunny day with an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Cornwall Coast and the best entertainment by Daniel Costin Sax Player…
Flying through my previews at the moment! Here is a sneak peek of Rachel and Dan’s Cornwall wedding at St Ives Harbour Hotel last month. They were blessed with a gorgeous sunny day and had an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Cornish Coast including an epic entertainment by the fab Daniel Costin sax player. What a day!
Rachel and Dan actually been together almost 23years! They started dating with 18 after meeting at work in Dan’s pub in Worcestershire, Rachel’s home town.
It took moving house, Dan turning 40 and a world pandemic for Dan to pop the question on Christmas Day in 2020.
Rachel and Dan have always loved spending their holidays in St Ives, following Dans family tradition, so when they were looking at venues they both knew St Ives would be the perfect place to celebrate with friends and family. Here is what Rachel had to say about their day:
‘It's been lovely seeing our loved ones enjoying st ives and seeing it in all its beauty as we have done for the last 20years... we were delighted that 40 of our closest friends and family made the 300 mile trip down to St Ives (on Easter weekend!) to celebrate with us, and the sun shone for them! It was a perfect day! ‘
I’m so pleased they had their dream wedding, good things come to the who wait!

Welcome to my blog, here you will find my latest work, previews of recent weddings /elopements and some tips to plan your special day.
When searching for your wedding photographer, you’ve probably fallen in love with a particular wedding photography style — whether that’s documentary, editorial, film-inspired, or something with a fine art edge. Choosing a style you love is important, but beyond the aesthetic, have you thought about which moments from your wedding day you’ll want to relive forever?
Unposed. Unrushed. Unfiltered.
Documentary wedding photography that captures the intimacy, emotion, and quiet beauty of your day.
Moments over poses. I focus on storytelling rather than staged, artificial poses. This approach captures raw, unscripted emotions and genuine interactions as they naturally unfold, offering a true representation of the day’s atmosphere—not just how it looked, but how it felt…
It's been a bit of a rollercoaster year for me personally ... Nevertheless, my work kept me focused ... Capturing love and happiness kept me going and grounded with a big smile on my face...to all my 2025 couples — thank you, you absolutely smashed it!
To celebrate every one of you, here’s my favourite wedding photos of 2025: a collection of moments that make me smile, bring back all the joy, and tell wedding stories in my own creative way.
It’s your day so do what you want! It’s hard I get it, guest lists, kids or no kids, are dogs welcome, should I invite that auntie and uncle I haven’t seen in years, should I hire a wedding car …But life is short and traditions are there to be broken. Do what you feel like doing and not what you think is expected!
I curated some tips to help you make the most out of your wedding day and photography…
