If you are searching for relaxed and cinematic beach wedding photography, Cornwall is one of the most beautiful places you could choose. Its perfect for anyone planning a natural and outdoorsy celebration, and it suits my style of photography perfectly. As a Cornwall wedding photographer, I love weddings that feel personal, scenic and close to the sea.

James and Mikki’s wedding was a beautiful autumnal beach celebration in Gorran Haven, one of the few Cornish villages that still feels genuinely untouched. They got ready only a few steps apart, with Mikki in a cosy Airbnb opposite the church and James at his family home. I spent the morning moving between the two of them and capturing the calm before the ceremony.

The wedding took place at St Just Church, a small chapel that sits directly above the beach. The stained-glass windows filled the space with soft colour and the whole service felt warm and personal.

Once James and Mikki had caught up with everyone, we slipped away for a short couple’s shoot on the beach. The overcast sky gave us perfect soft light and the photos from this part of the day are some of my beach wedding photos that I’ve ever taken.

We then travelled to Fowey Hall Hotel for the reception. James and Mikki arrived in a classic Morgan and we used the last bit of daylight for a few portraits in the grounds before heading inside.

Dinner and speeches were a brilliant mix of British and Danish traditions, including group singing and spontaneous toasts, before cake cutting and a very lively party.

A perfect Cornwall beach wedding to end the autumn season. If you are planning a coastal wedding and would love relaxed, natural and cinematic photography, I would love to hear from you. Please get in touch here.

Read James and Mikki’s Review

“My now husband and I booked Elliot to photograph our wedding in October. We initially chose Elliot because he stood out in what is a very saturated market of wedding photographers. His style was original and it was clear to us he had a keen eye for capturing beautiful moments. Thank goodness he was free, as we decided to get married with very little time to prepare. From the get go Elliot was organised, proactive, communicative and I went into my wedding day with complete confidence that Elliot was going to be exactly where he needed to be at the right times.

During the day, you never saw him or heard him, there was absolutely no distraction from him leading to some of the loveliest, most candid photographs I’ve seen. When it came to my husband and me taking pictures together, we are both not the most comfortable in front of a camera but Elliot was able to make us relax and laugh and honestly the results brought tears to my eyes.

He stayed longer than I had originally stated with no problem, he provided party cameras which everyone loved and took advantage of. I have to say, one thing I have often seen in weddings, the couples almost abandon their own parties in order to go and take pictures. Elliot timed the moments we left our wedding perfectly, our absence was never felt and his talent allowed him to obtain the pictures he needed in little time.

I would recommend Elliot to anyone and everyone, he goes beyond taking just pictures, he captured all the emotions, the feel, the energy of the day and every time I look at the photos, I am reminded of all the happiness I felt in those moments.”
