Family Photography Watergate Bay Cornwall
A family photography session at Watergate Bay, Cornwall. Candid, natural family portraits.
We had some lovely sunny autumn days here in Cornwall recently. Rebecca contacted me a while ago tp photograph their family during their stay at Watergate Bay in Cornwall. It was her mum’s birthday weekend and together with her sister’s family they stayed at Watergate Bay hotel to celebrate. Rebecca wanted make a photo album with family photos for her mum’s birthday present. I think its such a great idea!
So we ventured to on the beach on a sunny day to take some natural family portraits. They had so much fun playing around in the rock pools, I just quietly observed and took some candid shots. What a lovely family!
Here are a few of my favourites from the session.

Family Portrait Photography at Trevone Beach in Cornwall
A family portrait photoshoot on Trevone Beach in Cornwall..
I was quite excited when I received a call from Martyn's sister a few months ago that she wanted to surprise Martyn and Katie with a family portrait photoshoot for his birthday present. I shot Katie and Martyn's wedding back in 2014, they are such a lovely couple and it's nice to hear that they are a family now. Their little son Harvey is a bundle of fun! Nice to see a couple again after a few years and have the opportunity to photograph them again, this time with their whole family including 'Buddy' the little terrier who I already met a few years back..We went on their local beach Trevone on the north cornish coast..here are a few shots from the day..
But if you can’t wait and have a trip to the beach planned anytime soon with your own camera and want some tips about beach photography, Pixpa.com have written an in depth article to improve your beach portrait photography skills to get better family snaps.

What a day, and what a pair! These two are truly a match made in heaven, and I was absolutely delighted when they asked me to capture their wedding at Huntsham Court in Devon.
Congratulations Josie & Andrew! What a day! They got married in ‘The Church of Storms’ in Gunwallow and fighting the elements, good on you to be brave and embrace it! That wind… Followed by a reception at Beacon Crag near Porthleven in Cornwall. I’m so pleased the marquee held sturdy on the clifftop. Joise’s veil got lost to the elements when we ventured out for some photos on the cliffs. I’m sure that’s a sign of good fortune…
This felt less like a wedding and more like a gathering of hearts — full of intention, connection and so much love. This felt less like a wedding and more like a gathering of hearts — full of intention, connection and so much love. One of the most unique ceremonies I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing, with breathwork to ground everyone into the moment, a communal OM echoing through the space, and some of the most heartfelt vows and readings that had more than a few people reaching for tissues.
Stacey and Aaron’s wedding at Stennack Farm was one of those days with such a big buzz around it that just kept getting better and better. Fun, full of energy, and packed with crazy vibes from start to finish. The pair, along with all their family and friends, couldn’t have been more local to the venue — in fact, they were all from Camborne just up the road. A true Cornish wedding!
Rachel & Joe’s wedding at Knightor Winery was something truly special …
There was such a natural connection between them—full of laughter, warmth, and that rare kind of bond you can actually feel just being around them…
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.

Alex and Mark both share a love of the sea and surfing, so choosing The Headland Hotel, overlooking Fistral Beach in Newquay, for their wedding was a no-brainer. With one of Cornwall’s most iconic surfing beaches right on their doorstep, it was the perfect setting for their intimate coastal wedding.
