Debbie & Tom's Intimate Summery Elopement at Lowerbarns in Cornwall
Debbie and Tom's summery elopement at Lower Barns Boutique Bed and Breakfast in Cornwall..
I was meaning to post this beautiful summery elopement since ages! My workload didn't allow me to update my blog with all the stunning weddings I shot this season, but I finally can make a start with the posting.
Debbie and Tom eloped to Cornwall late august on a beautiful sunny late summer's day at lower barns boutique bed and breakfast. They only brought their parents, their little daughter and beautiful greyhound with them to celebrate their special day in an intimate circle. It couldn't have been a more summery day, so we decided to make the most out of it and ventured down the beach for some couple portraits. Unfortunately the tide was so high that there wasn't much beach left and the few square meters of sand were filled with tourists, so not the ideal scenario for a photoshoot. I knew how much Debbie and Tom wanted some coastal photos though, so we improvised. It was a bit of a walk up the cliff path to get to the field overlooking the beach and we had to avoid some sheep poo, but it was worth it!
And to make the day even better, their daughter picked me a little wild flower bouquet to take home with me! What a sweet, personal day to capture, one I will definitely always remember..
Talking about flowers, the wedding flowers provided by the talented Marie Owen from This Rugged Coast were absolutely beautiful!! One of my favourites this year..

Lynsey & Ricky's Cool Colourful Boho Style Wedding at Lowerbarns in Cornwall
Lynsey and Ricky's Boho style wedding at Lowerbarns was filled with fun, laughter, good vibes and true love. They had a humanist ceremony..
Wow! I can't tell you how much I loved shooting this small intimate wedding with such a fun bunch of people and inspiring place :-) Lynsey and Ricky had their wedding their way with a humanist ceremony Lower Barns Boutique B&B and Elopement Weddings in Cornwall. Even though the forecast wasn't so promising, with the luck of the Irish the sun came out just long enough to say 'I do'. This venue really fitted their style, bright, bold and happy. My favourites were the sunflower bouquets by Kelly Ann's Flower Barn and the off white boho style bridesmaids dresses. I think I've never seen all in white bridesmaids.. they were styling' it!
I stayed with them for 5 hours, a beautiful afternoon filled with fun, good vibes, laughter and true love.

Patience & Danny's elopement at The Scarlet, Cornwall
Patience and Danny's elopement style wedding at The Scarlet Hotel in Mawganporth, Cornwall..
Danny and Patience are from Norfolk and spend a lot of their holidays in Cornwall. They love Mawganporth beach and got engaged here. So it was all natural to plan their wedding near this beautiful north cornish coast. They decided to have a small intimate wedding at The Scarlet with just 10 of their closest friends and family. The day was blessed with sunshine and high temperatures for late april, it couldn't have been better.. Here is a small selection of my favourite photos from the day. And wait till you see the DIY cake, cuteness alert!

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.
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…
A beautiful autumnal Wedding at The Green in Cornwall.

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…
