Real weddings, real people, real moments.


Based in Newquay, I’ve been a Wedding and Elopement Photographer for over 10 years capturing weddings across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and further afield. My focus is on documentary-led photography, capturing the big moments, the messy moments , and all the other parts of weddings that make them incredible to be part of. It's really cliche but I love my job. There isn't a better feeling knowing my work is printed walls all over the Uk being admired day after day.


When you book me as your Cornwall Wedding Photographer, you get more than a set of images from your day. I’m there to keep your day running smoothly, blending in with your guests, and capturing all the important moments. My job is to keep things relaxed, blend into the background and give you photos that actually feel like your wedding, not a staged version of it.


Couples tell me they hardly notice me there - and that’s exactly how I work. I put people at ease so you can enjoy your day, while I focus on telling the story of your wedding in the South West.

Its not just about the photos...


Weddings can feel overwhelming from the very start, with planning, details, and logistics to manage, that’s why choosing the right photographer who matches your energy is so important.

As your Cornwall and Devon wedding photographer, I make the photography side effortless and enjoyable. With a relaxed, unobtrusive approach, I capture the natural moments of your day; the glances, the laughter, the small details, so you end up with a collection of images you’ll love looking back on for years to come.
