Cornwall Micro Wedding Photography at Burncoose House // Catherine & Stewart
Catherine and Stewart’s micro wedding at Burncoose house was blessed with a warm and dry early spring day. Burncoose House is a beautiful venue surrounded by acres of gardens and woodland, perfect for photos!
Catherine and Stewart had a small early spring wedding at Burncoose House in Cornwall. It was my first visit to this stunning venue. A stylish manor house surrounded by acres of stunning landscaped woodland gardens, perfect for photos. The house is available for exclusive hire only, so the garden and house is yours for the day offering complete privacy. The pair only booked my elopement package, which is ca 2-3 hours pf coverage and just enough to cover a micro wedding like this if you’re not bothered about telling the story of the day and just want the ceremony and a few images after covered. Well, they got lucky as I arrived early and got a few sneaky prep photos in… It was a beautiful warm spring day and we took some great shots on our walk through the woodland gardens…
I love photographing small relaxed vibe weddings like this, so if you’re looking for a photographer for your wedding or small celebration at Burncoose House or anywhere else in Cornwall, please don’t hesitate to contact me for availability.
So here you go, Catherine and Stewart, your preview is up!

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.

Wedding Photography for a small wedding at Treseren in Cornwall // Viki & Jeff
A beautiful small wedding at Treseren Cornwall with an outdoor ceremony. Late march and it felt like summer! Wedding Photography for Jeff and Viki’s intimate day full of joy at Treseren
Oh Treseren, what a beautiful venue! I’m so pleased I could finally shoot a wedding there, I heard so much about this place and it’s so close to my house… Viki and Jeff were blessed with a beautiful sunny day in late march for their small wedding here. It felt like summer! What a scorcher of a day to start this season with a beautiful outdoor ceremony, great styling, happy faces, a super handsome wedding dog, lots of love, tears of joy and the most gorgeous couple.
Their beloved fox red labrador ‘Woody’ caught my special attention, he is not only the most handsome pooch but also was so relaxed throughout the day. Maybe a bit too easy going when he overslept his job as a ring bearer during the ceremony. I just can’t help myself, I love dogs at weddings!
I’m an absolute fan of smaller intimate weddings like this, they are so much more relaxed and personal sometimes and I have more time to focus on the nearest and dearest. Viki and Jeff proofed yet again that you can have the best day ever with just a small number of guests.
I was booked for half a day coverage from bridal preparations until speeches, which is enough for a small wedding like this. To be honest I took so many photos in that short time that it was hard to choose my favourites. Here is my selection…

Elopement Photography at Lower Barns in Cornwall // Nicky & Joe
Nicky and Joe finally got married early march at Lower Barns in Cornwall after postponing their wedding day twice. They decided to have an elopement with not too much fuss and make it a weekend get away for just the two of them and their adorable little pooch.
More and more couples opt for a low key wedding. Elopements are a great alternative to a big wedding. You can enjoy your day your way, there is less planning involved, you won’t have to be in the spotlight or follow strict timelines but rather enjoy more time together. Nicky and Joe did just that. They also didn’t want the typical beach portraits and opted for a visit to St Austell Brewery instead to enjoy burgers and a beer, they said it’s just more like them…when I heard this, I knew it’s going to be a great day to photograph. I like things a little different! And what a lovely pair to work with…
Here is a small selection of my favourites…

Wedding Photography at The Green Cornwall // Sophie & Benedict
Sophie and Benedict’s festive winter wedding at The Green in Cornwall.
Oh I love a winter wedding especially close to Christmas time, there is just a special festive vibe in the air. Sophie and Benedict had an extension to their Christmas holidays with their very special day at The Green in Cornwall. They were supposed to get married last year and I’m pleased they could finally tie the knot. And weather wise, they were blessed with a dry winter’s day, December was definitely a better month to get married than August or October last year!
I met Sophie in the new bridal suite for her bridal preparation images, it was super busy in there so mum had to sit in the bath with her bubbles to watch everyone getting ready. No not the bubbles in the bathwater, I meant the drinking kind ha ha!
We also visited the guys to capture their last stages of getting ready. They were definitely in great spirits and a fun bunch to photograph.
Sophie’s dad was very excited to see his daughter in her dress the first time, what a moment to witness…
After the ceremony we ventured into the Green’s beautiful woodland for some couple portraits. I had a great time working with Chris from Babalu films again. It’s been years we worked together last. I’m usually working on my own and it’s refreshing working with videographers, when its the right ones…working as a team can refresh or ignite your creativity!
After the speeches we went back outside for a sparkler exit whilst The Green team cleared the barn for the evening entertainment. With it getting dark so early in December the party got in full swing pretty early and the dance floor was soon filled with everyone dancing. Benedict’s dad was the star of the evening with showing off some impressive dance moves and ending up on the floor several times! I don’t want to know how his hangover felt like the next day…
So here you go, the last wedding in 2021, some of my favourite shots from the day below.

Cornwall Elopement Photographer at Tremenheere Sculptured Gardens // Nuala & Daniël
Magical Cornwall Winter Elopement Photography at Tremenheere Sculptured Gardens
Nuala and Daniël opted for a runaway wedding at Tremenheere Sculptured Gardens in Cornwall. This beautiful garden on the South Coast is is a real Cornish Gem. You could believe you are somewhere on a tropical island, so beautiful! Nuala and Daniël were blessed with a relative mild and dry day for December so they had an outdoor ceremony in the Pagoda on top of the hill overlooking St Michael’s Mount, which was wrapped in a mystical mist that day. It really was a fairytale elopement wedding and you wouldn’t believe it was Winter!
Here is a small collection of my favourite photos from the day…Nuala and Daniël, thanks again for letting me document your truly magical day…

Devon Wedding Photographer Tunnels Beaches // Sarah & Tristan
Sarah and Tristan’s storm Arwen wedding at the stunning Tunnels Beaches in North Devon was a pleasure to photograph!
I couldn’t wait for this one, I wanted to tick Tunnels Beaches wedding venue up in North Devon off my bucket list since ages. I have seen stunning photos from this place and was so excited when Sarah and Tristan booked me for their special day there. The beach with it’s puddles and dramatic rock formations looks like something out of another world. And the architecture of the actual venue nestled into the cliff is just stunning.
We didn’t plan for storm Arwen with 60 mph plus north westerly winds and heavy downpours though! However I heard that Sarah and Tristan wanted their special day to be stormy to give it that little bit extra drama. They met sailing and love the sea, the wilder the better!
Sarah’s dad was a bit concerned how he would get his daughter safely through the tunnel without the wind messing up her outfit. The direction somehow made the wind funnel through the tunnel and it was a struggle to walk through it! He had a plan: He looked for the biggest umbrella in the house to hold it as a shelter in front of them. I was slightly concerned the thing would be strong enough and not collapse. But he got her to the other side safely and hair, dress and makeup were still in place.
The ceremony was held on the first floor overlooking the sea. It was somehow cosy in there with the warm lights and the wild sea smashing against the shore just beneath you and the just 15 guests were just enough to fill the room nicely.
Sarah’s dad is a professional photographer too, oh yes, pressure on, ha ha! No honestly a bit if pressure makes me work even better and he really understood what’s needed to assist me to get the right shots. Photography was one of the top most important things for their very special day. I totally agree, after all the day goes by so fast and the photos are the one thing you have left as a memory to treasure for years to come. After the ceremony we had to wait for a dry spell in between the heavy showers to venture to the beach for the couple portraits. Thankfully Sarah and Tristan were so keen to get some stunning shots that they were super flexible with their schedule. And we were lucky! We had ca 30 minutes without rain, the tide was just right and even the sun came out for a brief glimpse helping me to produce some dramatic shots. I’m super pleased with the results and I hope you are too.
Here is a small preview for you, Sarah and Tristan! As I promised just before Christmas….I hope you like what you see.

Cornwall Seaside Wedding at Talland Bay Hotel // Chris & Jo
Chris and Jo’s Seaside Wedding at the eclectic and stylish Talland Bay Hotel on the Cornish Southcoast
It’s been a while sine I last photographed a wedding at Talland Bay Hotel. With it’s stylish eclectic interior and landscaped gardens overlooking Talland Bay on the South Cornwall Coast it’s a real hidden gem. Jo and Chris were looking for something different for their wedding and didn’t like the corporate feel a lot of wedding venues offer. So they started to look for a Boutique Hotel in Cornwall where you can get married too and found Talland Bay, the perfect venue when you look for something stylish and a little different.
They were blessed with a beautiful sunny autumn day and we made the most out of the stunning gardens and afternoon light for the photos straight after the ceremony.
Meanwhile Damian Surr from Ginger Magic wowed the guests with his amazing tricks whilst The Beat London were playing an acoustic set followed by some great dance tunes in the early evening…
A great day to document and I’m super pleased to share some of my favourite shots with you here.

Wedding Photographer The Green Cornwall // Kadi & Ainsley
Kadi and Ainsley’s special day at The Green. It might have rained all day but they had the best day ever…
I was really looking forward to Kadi and Ainsley’s big day at The Green Cornwall. I met them last year during their mini break at Treyarnon Bay to take some family photos on the beach. They are such a lovely family and I couldn’t wait to document their special day after it was postponed in 2020 because of Covid.
Unfortuntaley it couldn’t have been any wetter, it rained the whole day and was getting thicker in the afternoon. So we had to improvise with the photos as high winds combined with downpours prohibited us to venture outside. We tried, but Kadi and Ainsley lasted 5 minutes and ran back in the cosy barn after their umbrella broke. Gladly The Green’s old rustic barn is a great place to play around for some portrait photos and they have told me they had the best day ever inspite of the weather…I’m so pleased for them!
So here you go, the long awaited sneak peak…

Autumn Wedding Photography at Knightor Winery in Cornwall // Viki & Martin
Viki and Martin’s stylish autumnal wedding at Knightor Winery. A picture perfect October wedding in Cornwall…
I couldn’t imagine a more picture perfect autumn wedding than Viki and Martin’s beautiful day at Knightor Winery in the heart of Cornwall. How gorgeous is their autumnal decoration with pumpkins, cones, dreamcatchers, rusty orange and earthy greens! And it goes so well with this rustic barn venue.
They were blessed with a sunny and mild October day and could have their ceremony outdoors, which was an important element of their wedding day being quite outdoorsy oriented people. Their two dogs were well looked after by Sarah from ‘wedding day dog nanny’, she brought a bag full of treats and had two new friends within 5 minutes of her arrival. Whilst Ione did her magic with hair and makeup for the girls. She really is the best for a natural bohemian look!
After the ceremony I went for a walk through Knightor’s grounds for the couple portraits. I think autumn is my favourite season there!
This time of year it goes dark quite soon, so we could include the sparkler exit just before the evening entertainment which I think is a way better option than dragging everyone from the dancefloor to go outside at a later stage. Let the people dance once they’re enjoying themselves!
Here is a small selection of my favourites, it was a really hard choice as there were so many beautiful moments to choose from…

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!
