Elopement Photographer Cornwall Lower Barns // Anita and Alan
Anita and Alan’s stunning elopement at the unique and quirky Lower Barns in Cornwall
There’s something really beautiful about an elopement. I just love capturing this style of intimate wedding. Just me, the couple and a celebrant (maybe even their dog would come along) feels so special.
And I’m pleased to observe in the world of weddings, elopements have become a rising trend, offering couples a more intimate and personal way to say “I do.” As a Devon and Cornwall Wedding and ElopementPhotographer, we have many beautiful locations to choose from for that kind of wedding…
Capturing the essence of these private celebrations requires a unique set of skills and a keen eye for detail. As it is harder to stay in the background to just observe and capture the day as it unfolds like I do at bigger weddings. It’s just the three of us and I’m obviously there capturing it! But I still try my best to keep it all natural and easy flowing with not too much awkward posing involved.
Before the special day I always take the time to connect with the couple and understand their vision for the elopement so that I can tell their story in the most intimate of detail. A meeting in person is highly recommended but if that’s not possible we at least discuss the details via an online meeting.
Anita and Alan bought their adorable rescue dog with them, who was also a very well behaved ring bearer. Sadly we had to leave him behind on our venture to the beach as it was a very hot day, but we managed to take some photos of the three of them at the beautiful grounds of Lower Barns. I love this venue and Mike and Janie always make me feel so welcome! If you’re looking for a beautiful, eclectic romantic getaway for your elopement in Cornwall, don’t look any further, Lower Barns is a truly quirky, unique and romantic hideaway, perfect for an intimate elopement wedding!
Here is a mini preview from Anita and Alan’s special day here recently. I hope you like the images as much as I did enjoy capturing them!

Cornwall Elopement Photographer at Knightor Winery // Sam & Howard
Sam and Howard’s intimate elopement at Knightor Winery
Sam and Howard tied the knot on a sunny day start of August at Knightor Winery. They only brought 6 guests along with them for an intimate and relaxed day in Cornwall. I love capturing days like this, they are so personal and even if I just have just spend 4 hours with lovely pair I felt I was a little part of it. Great to work alongside talented and super nice Sean Hodge Wedding Films. Always a pleasure to work as a team.
So here you go, not much more to say, just a gorgeous sunny day at Knightor Winery, one of my most favourite places to shoot elopements and weddings here in Cornwall…

Post Wedding Photography Watergate Bay // John & Caroline
Wedding Photography for John and Caroline at Watergate Bay in Cornwall. Post ceremony family portraits on the beach and around Watergate Bay hotel
A couple of weeks ago I met John and Caroline at Watergate Bay hotel for some photos after their registry office ceremony in Truro. They wanted to keep their wedding personal and intimate, so they booked a luxury escape with their three teenage children and adorable dog Betty at the fabulous Watergate Bay hotel. I met them early afternoon for some family portraits on the beach.
What a beautiful and fun family to work with! Here is a little taster…
Wedding Photography at The Eden Project in Cornwall // David & Julie
David and Julie tied the knot at The Eden Project in Cornwall late October. With a ceremony and first half the reception in the tropical biome it was a feast for a photographer’s eye. No bad weather to battle just the short window of daylight…
I always love working at The Eden Project in Cornwall as it is one of the most incredible places for wedding photography. The mediterranean and tropical biomes are perfect for any weather conditions as they keep certain warm temperatures for the plants to grow and are completely covered from winds and rain. The tropical biome is the world’s largest indoor rainforest and David and Julie hired it for exclusive use from late afternoon. I knew this day would be super special to capture as the Eden Project is one of the most incredible and unique venues for a wedding, not just in Cornwall but in the world. It’s also perfect for any weather conditions as you don’t have to worry about a rainy day. The only thing I was worried about was the lack of day light this time of year as the evenings draw in quickly in late October and with a 5pm ceremony we only had less than an hour left for natural light photos afterwards before all the guests ventured back up to the gallery for part 2 of the evening reception. We did it though and I love what we captured, I hope you guys do too!

Wedding Photography at Lower Barns in Cornwall // Demelza & Marcus
Marcus and demelza’s small wedding at Lower Barns in Cornwall. Inspite of the rain showers and cold temperatures we ventured to the beach for some beach portraits and how gorgeous is that cherry blossom tree!
Demelza and Marcus finally tied the knot at the fantastic Lower Barns Boutique Bed and Breakfast here in Cornwall. They had to move their wedding date because of Covid like many of my other couples. They decided to have a small wedding and just invited a small group of family and friends. Lower Barns is the perfect venue for a micro wedding or elopement. Tucked away in a quiet idyllic valley close to the Cornish South Coast it’s the perfect place for a mini break near the sea. I always adore the eclectic interior design and I’m bursting with ideas for my own home after I shot a wedding there…
Demelza and Marcus booked me for half a day. With a small group like this I can get a lot covered in such a short time, so I met them for their ‘getting ready’ photos late morning.
After the ceremony we took some group photos and made the most out of the beautiful grounds Lower Barns has to offer including a stunning cherry blossom tree which also framed the confetti shot perfectly.
They were super keen on some beach portraits so inspite of the drizzle and low temperatures we headed to the nearest beach. Demelza got so cold, but she was eager to get the shots and braved the elements! I’m sure she appreciated the hot tub in the evening…
I made a collection of my favourite shots from the day. Demelza and Marcus, here is your sneak peek, I hope you like it.
If you are planning to get married in Cornwall or at Lower Barns, please contact me for availability and prices. My 2023 diary is already filling up, so be fast to avoid any disappointment.
