Cornwall Wedding Photography, Beacon Crag // Josie & Andrew

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…

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!

Moments over Poses
Moments over Poses

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…
