If you’re looking for a wedding photographer to capture your wedding celebrations at Polhawn Fort in Cornwall then you’ve come to the right place.
Set high on the cliffs on Cornwall’s Rame Peninsula with sweeping views across Whitsand Bay, Polhawn Fort is one of the most unique and unforgettable wedding venues in Cornwall. With its dramatic coastal setting, rich history and timeless charm, it’s no wonder so many couples choose to get married here whatever the season.
Whether you’re planning a laid-back summer celebration by the sea or a romantic winter wedding surrounded by candlelight, Polhawn Fort offers the perfect blend of rugged beauty and intimate atmosphere. As a Cornwall based wedding photographer, I never tire of capturing wedding celebrations in this unique location.
Highlights
✨ Epic Sea Views
The panoramic ocean views are simply breathtaking. From golden hour portraits on the lawn to windswept kisses on the clifftops, every angle here makes for stunning wedding photographs.
✨ Private Beach Moments
A winding path leads you to a secluded beach—ideal for romantic barefoot strolls, dramatic couple shots, or even an outdoor ceremony if the tides and weather are just right.
✨ All-Season Romance
I’ve captured wedding photography in every season at Polhawn Fort and it’s just as magical in winter as it is in the summer months. Think cozy candlelit dinners inside the historic stone fort as the waves rolls in. The light, the landscape and the atmosphere shift with the seasons—each one offering something beautiful and unique.
✨ Exclusive Use
The entire fort is yours for the duration of your stay, meaning complete privacy and the chance to truly make the space your own. It’s a blank canvas for your personality and vision and I love helping couples document it in a way that feels true to them.
✨ A Setting Like No Other
There’s nothing quite like the mix of history and natural beauty at Polhawn Fort. The thick stone walls, arched windows, and cliffside setting create an unforgettable backdrop for both intimate moments and big celebrations.
If you’re planning a wedding at Polhawn Fort and looking to book a wedding photographer to capture your celebrations, I’d love to hear from you.

FAQs
What is your wedding photography style & approach?
My wedding photography style is documentary - relaxed, natural/candid, storytelling, unobtrusive ‘fly on the wall’ style let’s you enjoy the day and trust me to capture beautiful images that tell the story.
With all day photography, how many hours do you stay for?
With my all day photography, I generally start 3 hours before the ceremony to capture the build-up and getting ready photos and I'll be with you all day until late into the evening, often 10am to 10pm in summer months. I’m definitely not a wedding photographer who has the car running straight after first dance. I’m there for at least an hour after your first dance, capturing the party which I love.
Can we order a wedding album?
Yes you can use my website gallery to design and order a professional wedding album. I provide a 25% discount to use within 2 years of your wedding day.
Do you offer a second photographer?
Yes I have second photographers who regularly work with me. Once I know your wedding plans at Polhawn Fort, I can give you recommendations based on my experience.
Can we share photos/videos with family and friends?
Yes your edited photos (and video if you’ve chosen to have video) is all presented in a professional website gallery that you can share with friends and family and anyone with access can download photos.
From the gallery shop, order professional prints, framed photos etc.
It is all backed up in the cloud for a minimum of 4 years.
We’re having a get together the night before our wedding, would you be able to capture that too?
Yes I’ve photographed many pre wedding day parties at Polhawn Fort which are always lovely to capture. I’ve also captured the day after the wedding such as a bbq, beach party etc. Just let me know your plans and I’m happy to tailor a package for your celebrations.
Have you photographed at Polhawn Fort before?
Yes I’ve captured at least 10 weddings at Polhawn Fort, it’s one of my favourite wedding venues on the coast in Cornwall.
We’d like some group photos with family and friends, is that ok?
I capture group photos at almost every wedding and these can be as formal or informal as you like. Polhawn Fort is a fantastic venue to capture group photos at because whatever the weather is doing there’s always great options available for indoors as well as outdoors.
How should we be in front of the camera?
Most people do not enjoy having a camera on them. I’m a strong believer that natural candid photos are best where you’re relaxed and being yourselves. You'll notice in my photos that apart from group photos, very few images have people looking at the camera, looking at each other yes, at the camera, not so much.
