A Coastal St Ives Harbour Hotel Wedding

There aren't many places that feel more naturally Cornish than St Ives, and the St Ives Harbour Hotel makes a brilliant setting for a coastal wedding. With the sea and harbor right there, there's something wonderfully relaxed about photographing a wedding in this part of Cornwall.

Eve and Mark's wedding was full of the things I love looking for as a documentary wedding photographer—genuine connections, laughter, little glances, and those fleeting moments that can easily be missed when everyone is focused on the camera.

I don't want your wedding photographs to feel stiff or overly posed. Instead, I like to blend into the background, spend time around your friends and family, and quietly look for what's happening. I'll step in with some gentle direction when it's useful, but most of the time I want you to forget I'm there and simply enjoy your wedding.

If you're planning a St Ives wedding at the Harbour Hotel, or you're looking for a relaxed wedding photographer anywhere in Cornwall, I hope this gallery gives you a good idea of how I photograph real weddings.
