Natural & relaxed, unposed

I’ve kept the same ethos to wedding photography which is the best images come from not posing in front of the camera...the real magic is captured when people aren't aware of the camera, natural and photographed in the moment.

Couples trust in me and my experience of photographing over 450 weddings to capture the story of their celebrations with timeless images that tell the story.

You may like to have some posed group photos with family and friends which I capture at almost every wedding - these can be as formal or informal/fun as you like, or often a mixture of both.

Documentary style

My wedding photography is documentary style or some call it reportage - it’s modern, creative without the posed/staged awkward photos - candid natural photos that tell the story.

I capture it all, the big moments & little moments with photos that not only remind you of how it all looked, but how it felt to celebrate your wedding day…images that bring the vibe, energy and atmosphere to life.

Discreet. Ninja.

Being described as a ‘ninja wedding photographer’ is something I love to hear as that's exactly what I set out to be - unobtrusive, empathic, discreet.

Using over 14 years experience as a professional wedding photographer, I’m in the right place at the right time to capture all the moments and deliver the best photos.

Nancarrow Farm Wedding Photography

You've got a friend in me

Many couples appreciate my relaxed and calm presence on the day and often say I was like one of their guests photographing their wedding.

Head over to my reviews where previous wedding couples have their say…

Cornwall, my home

I live in Cornwall where many of the wedding I photograph are located. With dramatic coastlines, stunning beaches and romantic countryside, Cornwall is a beautiful part of the World to get married.

I've photographed at many wedding venues in Cornwall including Nancarrow Farm, Pencarrow House, Lusty Glaze, Polhawn Fort, Beacon Crag, Launcells Barton, Trevenna Barns and Camel Studio to name just a few.

I also photograph many DIY tipi weddings and farm weddings in Cornwall; from large celebrations to small intimate weddings, elopements and everything in between.

Aerial photography

I bring my drone to every wedding and if the weather and permissions allow I love to capture aerial photography to give another perspective to your celebrations.

Four legged guests

People are at the heart of my photography…but I must add dogs into this. From my work in both wedding and family photography, I know just how important dogs are to people, and the images I capture are always special to them.

I've photographed hundreds of dogs at weddings over the years, many being ring bearers, always memorable photos.

Video options

Alongside your wedding photography, as an upgrade, I can professionally video your full ceremony, confetti, all the speeches & first dance whilst photographing simultaneously.

For those who wish to have a highlights video of your day I regularly work with some of the best wedding videographers in Cornwall and Devon that I can recommend to you.

Memories forever

After all those wedding expenses, your photos are one of the only things you get to keep and enjoy when your wedding day is over...other than each other : )

These photos last a lifetime, taking you back to that amazing day and relive it all. It’s time travel, no flux capacitor required.

The website gallery you’ll receive from me allows you to download and share all your wedding photos with your family and friends. There are also professional print options within the website gallery including professional wedding albums, professional prints and wall framed prints.
