Wedding Photographer
Cornwall . UK . Europe
Relaxed, candid & creative documentary style
Award-winning wedding photography available in
Cornwall, Devon, UK & Europe.
Hi I’m Mark
A wedding photographer from Falmouth in Cornwall, South West England with over 15 years experience and a portfolio of over 500 weddings.
95 percent of wedding photography I capture is here in Cornwall where I live; from Cornish wedding venues, marquee/tipi weddings, grand houses and gardens to rustic barns, farms and elopements on beaches and clifftops, I love creatively telling the story from behind the lens.
I travel where wedding celebrations take me and I’m available as a wedding photographer not only in Cornwall but across the UK and as a destination wedding photographer in Europe.
“We’re not fans of staged posed photos & prefer moments captured naturally that tell the story. If you feel the same, Mark is the perfect wedding photographer for you”

I also specialise in small wedding & elopement photography for intimate weddings with under 40 guests.
Colourful . Timeless
Capturing the story of your wedding celebrations creatively with beautiful timeless photos, hand-edited in my signature vibrant editing style.
Less posed, more fun
My ethos to wedding photography 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, candid, photographed in the moment.
Some call it documentary style, some call it reportage style - it’s modern wedding photography, creative storytelling.
Couples trust me and my experience to capture and tell the story of their celebrations without the day feeling like a photoshoot; enjoy your celebrations without the awkward posed or staged photos.
I capture it all as it happens, the big and little moments with photos that remind you of how it all looked, surrounded by all those you hold dearest with 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.
Discreet
Being described as a ‘ninja wedding photographer’ is something I love to hear…that's exactly what I set out to be…unobtrusive and discreet. I blend into the celebrations and use my experience to be in the right place at the right time to capture all the moments and deliver the best photos.
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 film your full ceremony and all the speeches whilst photographing simultaneously with professional edited video.
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.
