Wedding Photographer Cornwall
Relaxed . Natural . Discreet . Authentic . Creative . Storytelling
Hello I’m Mark, a Cornwall wedding photographer specialising in creative documentary wedding photography with no posing, creatively capturing it all as it happens ‘fly on the wall’ style.
With over 400 wedding celebrations captured, my style is popular with couples who want relaxed, fun, timeless photos that tell their wedding story.
I recommend you have a browse around my website, view my wedding gallery and have a read of reviews from couples who booked me as their wedding photographer.
Relaxed documentary style wedding photography that not only captures how it all looked, but how it felt.
I’m all about all about capturing wedding celebrations with a documentary style - nothing posed or contrived, no gimmicks; simply real genuine moments that tell the unique story with beautiful timeless hand-edited images.
In case you’re wondering what documentary wedding photography is, it’s an unobtrusive approach that captures genuine, candid moments as they naturally unfold during a wedding without any posing or directing from the photographer.
I shoot 99% of your day like this, capturing moments as they unfold. The bottom line is it’s your wedding day, not a photoshoot. I want to capture as many authentic real moments to tell the story authentically and creatively.
Nothing posed
apart from a few group photos
With a ‘less posed, more fun’ ethos, whilst I’m best known for my natural candid wedding photography that focusses on people, many weddings like to have a some posed group photos with family and friends which i’m always happy to capture, as formally or fun as you like (usually a bit of both).
Experience
+12 years +400 weddings
I bring the experience of over 12 years professional full time wedding photography and have captured the wedding photography for over 400 couples.

Wedding storytelling
How do you choose which wedding photographer to book, with so many to choose from in Cornwall alone? which is best for you? and why should you consider me?
Aside from the actual photos you’ll receive after your wedding day, you’ll be spending one of the biggest days of your life with the wedding photographer you choose to book, so it’s best to go with a wedding photographer you not only love in terms of the photos they capture…but also one you feel you click with.
I love meeting couples to chat about wedding plans, whether it’s a coffee in Cornwall or a video call, it’s great to get to know one another so on the day it’s all relaxed and easy. My pre-wedding photo shoot is a popular upgrade for many couples as we get to hangout, get to know each other, practice having candid photos taken with some tips from me, and you keep the edited photos.
When I’m booked for wedding photography, I’m available for advice and guidance in the buildup to the big day such as what works well, what confetti looks best for photos, how many group photos do I recommend, the list goes on. I also regularly get to work with the best wedding suppliers in Cornwall, from florists, hair and makeup to wedding caterers, djs and bands and everything in between, always happy to provide recommendations.
So why consider me as your wedding photographer? I’m not one for a sales pitch, I much prefer my photography does the talking, but in a nutshell I’ve been an award-winning full-time professional wedding photographer in Cornwall for over 12 years and have had the pleasure of photographing over 400 weddings and counting since 2013.
Couples who book me as their wedding photographer love my relaxed, natural/candid documentary style that is fun and focussed on the people. Wedding photography that tells the unique story creatively without anything contrived, no posing (apart from a few group photos); simply enjoy the day surrounded by family and friends…and trust me to capture the heart and soul of your day with timeless photos you’ll treasure for the rest of your lives.
I recommend you have a browse around my website, view my wedding gallery and have a read of wedding reviews from couples who booked me as their wedding photographer to get an idea of how I work, what I’m like and what to expect on your wedding day.
If my wedding photography style and ethos to capturing wedding celebrations resonates with you, the next step is to check my availability and have a chat, whether you’re getting married in Cornwall or further afield, I’d love to hear from you.
