Hey, I’m Ryan!
Originally from Somerset, I've spent the past 30 years amongst all the goodness Bath and the Cotswolds has to offer, but Cornwall stole our hearts in 2025. I'm the proud dad of two very cheeky kids, and two equally cheeky dogs, and happily married for the past 10 years. Life is busy and noisy which is exactly how I like it.
When I’m not behind the camera capturing weddings and elopements, you’ll usually find me in the sea bodyboarding, exploring coastal paths with the dogs, or out on a family adventure; always with good food involved somewhere along the way.
I’ve always been drawn to real connection, which is exactly what led me into wedding photography. For me, it’s never just about beautiful photos; it’s about capturing the feeling of the day. The big moments matter, of course, but so do the quiet in-between ones; nervous laughs, happy tears, and the chaos of the dance floor.
Most couples tell me they’re awkward in front of the camera, and honestly, that’s completely normal. My job is to help you feel comfortable enough to forget the camera is even there, so your photos feel effortless, and genuinely like you.
The Things I love...
- Nothing beats being in the sea off the Cornwall or Devon coastline, waiting for the next wave on a sunny autumn day.
- You can guarantee I will choose cheesecake at the end of a meal out, no questions asked.
- My favourite actor is Jim Carrey because he just makes me laugh no matter what.
- I should have been born in Italy – if there’s pizza or pasta, I’m there, but the amazing local food in Cornwall and Devon is a close second.
- The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are my favourite band, yet I’ve never seen them live. Boo!
- I used to be a decent rollerblader, and I still enjoy staying active when I can, whether it’s along Cornwall’s coastal paths or Devon’s countryside.
- I really don’t like the feeling of velvet on my fingertips. Nasty!
Every wedding is different but I treat them all the same
What I mean is I like to capture moments as they happen. I like to get in the mix of it all and you'll find me stuck in the middle of the dance floor. My style is purely documentary apart from the parts of the day with group photos and portraits, but I always try to capture moments as discretely as possible. This approach works perfectly for weddings across Cornwall and Devon, where the focus is as much about the couple as it is the location and guests.
When you choose me as your Cornwall or Devon wedding photographer, you’re choosing someone who will be with you every step of the way. From recommendations to late night emails, I’ll be there to help out, send you information, support you and it will only make our relationship grow stronger so you can be your total self around me.
