Sarah & Kat's Elopement at the Scarlet Hotel in Mawganporth
Sarah and Kat’s elopement with just their closest friends and parents at The Scarlet in Mawganporth, Cornwall, a very special day…
Sarah and Kat eloped to Cornwall on May the 3rd. They've chosen the Scarlet Hotel because Mawganporth is one of their favourite places and The Scarlet is dog friendly. They brought their adorable guide dog with them who also did a great job as the ring bearer. Originally planned as an elopement with just the three of them they decided to bring just a few of their besties and parents along with them to celebrate in style. The ceremony was very special with lots of laughter and good vibes.
After a few bubbles and canapés we ventured down the beach for some more photos. They did great with their choice of two wedding dresses in opposite complimenting colours. I think they look great in the photos..
I only stayed with them for 2.5 hours but I'm sure they had a great evening with delicious food at The Scarlet and enjoyed their mini moon week in Cornwall.
Here is a little taster.
Patience & Danny's elopement at The Scarlet, Cornwall
Patience and Danny's elopement style wedding at The Scarlet Hotel in Mawganporth, Cornwall..
Danny and Patience are from Norfolk and spend a lot of their holidays in Cornwall. They love Mawganporth beach and got engaged here. So it was all natural to plan their wedding near this beautiful north cornish coast. They decided to have a small intimate wedding at The Scarlet with just 10 of their closest friends and family. The day was blessed with sunshine and high temperatures for late april, it couldn't have been better.. Here is a small selection of my favourite photos from the day. And wait till you see the DIY cake, cuteness alert!
Lorraine & Peter's spectacular seaside wedding @The Scarlet Hotel, Mawganporth
Lorraine & Peter's stylish and colourful wedding @The Scarlet Hotel, Mawganporth..
Lorraine & Peter got married in The Scarlet Hotel overlooking Mawganporth beach. Scarlet Hotel weddings are exclusive hire only, so they celebrated their special day exclusively with just their closest friends and family in style. We were blessed with a sunny but breezy day. In fact, so breezy that we couldn't really go down the beach for the planned couple photoshoot, which was a shame as they hired a camper van for the trip down the hill and brought these colourful balloons I would have so loved to photograph on the beach! Never mind, the hotel offers such amazing views, that we got some nice shots in semi sheltered gardens overlooking Mawganporth beach. The speeches were incredibly touching, reflecting the close bond they have with their friends and family and there was more than one tear shed! "The Strutts' got the party vibe going for the evening entertainment lit up by spectacular lights from 'say it with lights'. This wedding couldn't have been more perfect with a few of one of the best wedding suppliers Cornwall has to offer including the lovely Jenny from Jenny Wren Wedding & Events bringing them all together under one roof.

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…

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?
