Post Wedding Photography Watergate Bay // John & Caroline

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…

Cornwall Family Photography // St Ives

It was a pleasure to meet these guys again for some family photos in St Ives. I photographed their wedding back in 2015 and they now have a little family with another one on the way. Where has time gone? I can’t believe it’s 7 years ago! Sara wanted their photos at the same place we shot their wedding a few years back on Porthminster beach. St Ives is also is a very special place for them. It was a baltic day with the north winds blowing into the beach and soon got a little cold to build sand castles, so we decided to head to the Arcades for some shelter…

I love meeting couples again after a few years, it is so nice to stay in touch and I can’t wait to meet their newest member of the family soon, hopefully it will be sunny and a little warmer next time!

Cornwall Family Photography // Watergate Bay

It was a pleasure to meet the ‘Flints’ earlier this week for a family photography session at Watergate Bay. Winter is a great time here in Cornwall for a portrait photography session on the beach. It is less busy, so you can get almost a whole beach by yourself to play with plus late afternoons and early mornings have a beautiful magic winter light on a sunny day.

Rory wasn’t in the best of moods that afternoon, but I managed to capture the little smiles in between. And he loves the beach! I aim to let you just do what you always do when you venture to the beach, just observing ‘you being you’ on a fun day out. Like this I can create more natural memories of your loved ones. Here is a little taster of a mini session with the ‘Flints’

Family Photography Cornwall // Watergate Bay

I recently met the Stokes for a family photo session at Watergate Bay. They broke da mini break at the Watergate Bay hotel and Helen approached me a while back that she wanted to surprise her husband with a family photography session for his 40th birthday. We got so lucky with a warm sunny evening and some stunning light. I had so much fun with this session, it was all about play, run, spotting dolphins (well trying to) and splashing in the sea, a family day on the beach captured in a documentary style to produce natural portraits. So here you go, just a small selection of my favourites…

Photography for the Clancy Family on Crantock Beach in Cornwall

I photographed Daniele and Connor’s wedding a few years back at the Eden Project. A lot happened since then. They now have a beautiful little family and I was so excited to meet them again to take some natural family portraits during their stay here in Cornwall. We went to Crantock beach and were blessed with beautiful evening light even though we had to deal with a pretty cold strong wind swirling up sand in our faces and on my camera gear! Tricky conditions but I love the results. Family photoshoots are best on the beach or in a familiar surrounding in your family home or holiday rental, where we can work with natural light where possible and you can just ‘be yourselves’ with no posing needed, just portraying a day out of your family life to capture beautiful memories…

Here are a few of my favourites…

Family photography Cornwall // Treyarnon Bay

Kadi and Ainsley supposed to get married this October at The Green in Cornwall. Unfortunately due to current restrictions they had to postpone their wedding to next year. So instead they came to Treyarnon Bay for a mini break in Cornwall and asked me to take some natural family photos on the beach. We met at Treyarnon where they stayed in a beautiful house overlooking the beach.

I had so much fun with these guys playing in the shore break and in between very stormy and rainy days we gladly picked an afternoon where the sun came out. Perfect for a beach family portrait photoshoot.

I can’t wait to photograph their wedding next year, but for now, here are my favourites form our family mini session in Treyarnon Bay…

I have an offer on for Family Mini Sessions at the moment, so please contact me for further information

Cornwall Family Portrait Photography // Trevone Beach

Some of my favourite photos from a family portrait photography session on Trevone Beach in Cornwall in September. We met early morning to beat the crowds and make the most out the almost empty beach. Gladly it was a sunny day and we were blessed with beautiful autumn light. A bit challenging at times was the youngest member of the family, she just wasn’t impressed at all and it was nap time… I had the feeling she would have preferred to go back to her cosy bed. I’m pleased we squeezed a couple of smiles out of her in the end…

Family Portrait Photography Godrevy Beach Cornwall

A few weeks ago Katie asked me if I can take some family photos while they are visiting Cornwall. They wanted some more positive memories than the hard times they just went through. Ruby was diagnosed with cancer only 2 years old. I can imagine how devastating these horrible news were with my own mum terminal sick from it. I truly believe that times like this make you a stronger more compassionate human. Ruby’s charisma is beautiful with a strong light shining in her. The strong bond this family has is amazing and I feel privileged they asked me to create some memories on their break here.

I think I mentioned this before, I’m not a fan of studio portraits, I rather go for a walk with you and capture the essence of your family in natural non-staged photography. If you’re after some candid shots with your family, please contact me for more information

We had a fun evening at Godrevy beach, here is a selection of some of my favourites…
