Hi I’m Mark
A Cornwall based elopement wedding photographer from Falmouth and have had the pleasure of photographing over 100 elopements in Cornwall.
I think getting married is one of the most incredible things you can do and for me there’s no ideal wedding or couple. Whether it’s just the two of you, perhaps your dogs too or joined by up to 40 people, I offer both photography & video to creatively and discreetly tell the story of your elopement in Cornwall.
With a relaxed and natural candid documentary style, I love to make the most of coastal & countryside scenery to capture beautiful timeless images of your elopement in Cornwall with vibrant images - where the greens are green and the blues are blue.

I’ve photographed many DIY small weddings and elopements but also at many wedding venues in Cornwall that cater for elopements including Nancarrow Farm, Trenmeheree Gardens, Polhawn Fort, BoHo Cornwall Elopements, Caerhays Estate (The Coastguard's Lookout), Cosawes Barton, Pengersick Castle, Pentillie Castle, Carbis Bay, The Cow Shed, Lower Barns, Ta Mill, Eden Project, Pengenna Manor, Lusty Glaze, St Nicholas Chapel, St Ives, Scarlet Hotel, Frieda & The Moon to name a few.

We’re camera shy, can you help us?
As a documentary style photographer I specialise in capturing relaxed and natural photos. You’ll never hear me utter the words ‘say cheese’ and to look at the camera, I’m the polar opposite of that. I direct a little but only when needed with a few pointers/tips and love to maximise scenery and natural light.
Do you offer video?
Yes I can professionally video your full ceremony whilst photographing at the same time using 2 of my 4 cameras and external mic for professional sound.
If you’d like a highlights video, I work with a handful of brilliant documentary style wedding videographers in Cornwall that I can recommend to you.
