Only a small number. I'd rather give each couple proper attention than rush from one Saturday to the next, so the calendar fills up gently and well ahead. If you have a date in mind, do get in touch early; it's the only way I can promise I'm free.

West Cornwall is my home turf (Penzance, the Lizard, Land's End, the far western edge), and I know it well enough to plan around the light and the tide. That said, I happily travel for the right wedding, anywhere in Cornwall and beyond. Just tell me where you're getting married.

Not at all, and you're in good company. Most couples I meet say exactly the same thing. I work quietly and quickly, mostly from the edges of the day, so you barely notice I'm there. No stiff lineups, no shouted directions. The nerves tend to settle within the first half-hour.

Mostly as it actually happens. The in-between moments are where the real story lives. I'll gather everyone for a handful of relaxed family groups if you'd like them, but the rest of the day I spend keeping out of the way and letting it unfold.

Your private online gallery lands within a few weeks of the wedding, gently edited and ready to share. Fine-art albums and prints are there if you'd like them, but there's no pressure; the gallery is yours to keep either way.

Yes to both. An engagement shoot comes included on the larger packages (and it's a lovely way to get comfortable with me before the day), and a second photographer is an easy add-on for bigger celebrations where two angles help.

We'll have a proper chat first (in person, on a call, or over a cup of tea) about your day, where it is, and what matters most to you. If it feels like a good fit, a booking fee holds your date and we take it from there.
