Engagement Photoshoot on Perranporth Beach // James + Rachel
James and Rachel’s engagement photography at Perranporth in Cornwall flooded in pure golden light! What a beautiful winter’s day, can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year…
I can’t tell you enough how much I’m looking forward to shooting Rachel and Jame’s wedding at Tenderway Farm next year! It sounds like just the kind of wedding I love photographing so much, a relaxed style weekend with friends and family in Cornwall. This venue has also been on my bucket list since quite a while, so extra bonus! I met the two for their pre wedding consultation in Perranporth. Jame’s grew up here, so they wanted a few photos on Perranporth beach to ease their nerves before the big day. We were so lucky as it was a sunny day sandwiched in between all the rain we had here recently in Cornwall. The late winter light is super special on a sunny day this time of year. I would say this shoot was literally cast in gold!

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!

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…

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.
