about me
Hey i’m Mark, an award-winning Cornwall based full-time professional wedding photographer specialising in relaxed documentary style wedding photography in Cornwall, Devon, UK and Europe.
Home for me is Ponsanooth near Falmouth, Cornwall, with my wife Jodie and our two boys Dylan and Harry. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 12 years now and fortunate enough to have captured the wedding celebrations of over 300 couples in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Cotswolds, Bath, Bristol, London and overseas in France and Italy as a destination wedding photographer
I love music, playing guitar, golf, snowboarding, football and photography. When I’m not capturing weddings you’ll most likely find me having a kick around with my boys, coastal walks, paddle-boarding or playing guitar. Alongside wedding photography I specialise in family photography in Cornwall
Travel and travel photography is another passion and as a family we’ve enjoyed road trips around places like Canada, New Zealand & California which are featured on my travel blog travelphant
My wedding photography would be described as documentary or reportage - storytelling with a relaxed, unposed (apart from some group photos), creative style. I shoot it all as it happens, with nothing staged/posed (apart from some group photos), making the most of natural light and scenery. The best way to see what I do is to have a look at what a typical wedding day looks like
I have a FAQs page which answers many questions I’ve been asked about wedding photography over the years.
I’ve won some wedding photography awards, received kudos from couples and made many new friends along the way. If you’re getting married in Cornwall or beyond and looking for a wedding photographer to capture your celebrations, I’d love to hear from you, get in touch
