Planning your Wedding in 2025? Book Harley for Stunning Photography in Cornwall

Cornwall is not only one of the most beautiful parts of the UK, it enjoys some of the sunniest weather in the country. Unsurprisingly, that makes it highly popular for weddings! If you’re planning your big day in 2025, it’s important to book a photographer as soon as possible.


Whether you live in Cornwall or are visiting for your wedding, I am a highly experienced photographer based in the local area. I am dedicated to capturing the story of your wedding, from the preparations beforehand, through to the ceremony and afterparty. 


Cornwall: A Dream Spot for Photographers


Cornwall, with its dramatic coastlines, golden beaches and rolling countryside is one of the most enchanting wedding destinations. It’s no wonder couples from across the UK and beyond flock to this corner of England to tie the knot. 


Whether you’re planning a beach wedding, or are getting hitched at a historic castle, I capture exquisite photos that reflect your story. Highly experienced, I’ve worked in locations across Cornwall, including on the coast.


I appreciate that picking the perfect photographer in Cornwall can be daunting. Here’s why I could be the ideal professional to tell your love story.


Finding the Right Wedding Photographer in Cornwall


Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your big day. After all, these images will be cherished for a lifetime. Here are a few tips on getting it right:


Know Your Style


Think about the kind of photography that resonates with you. Do you love candid, documentary-style shots that capture raw emotions? 


Or do you prefer something more editorial and posed? Maybe you’re drawn to whimsical, light-filled images with a bohemian vibe – perfect for Cornwall’s coastal settings.


I am able to adapt to a wide range of styles, with my services including Super 8 videography, a highly unique and nostalgic medium. I’m particularly ideal for those seeking documentary-style photography. 


Why Documentary-Style Photography Suits Weddings


Choosing a documentary-style photographer for your wedding is a brilliant idea if you’re after authentic, natural moments rather than staged poses. These photographers specialise in capturing the day as it unfolds, focusing on real emotions, fleeting glances, and genuine laughter. The result? A stunning collection of images that tell the true story of your big day, rather than a series of rehearsed smiles.


With a documentary approach, you’ll hardly notice the photographer’s presence. They blend into the background, allowing everyone to relax and be themselves. This means your photos will reflect the joy and atmosphere of the day, from the tearful vows to the wild moves on the dance floor.


Unlike traditional styles, there’s no pressure to spend hours posing for formal portraits. Instead, you’ll have more time to enjoy the day with your loved ones while the magic is captured naturally. Plus, the photos you receive will feel timeless and personal—perfectly preserving your memories just as they happened.


If you want a collection of wedding photos that’s as unique and heartfelt as your relationship, a documentary-style photographer is the way to go. It’s all about capturing the real you, the way you’ll want to remember it forever.

Since I regularly work in Cornwall, I know the area inside out. I work hard to capture the best shots at your venue, can often recommend secret spots for couple’s portraits, and know how to work with Cornwall’s sometimes unpredictable weather.

Schedule a Chat with Me


I appreciate that I will be present throughout your wedding day, so you want to feel you can ask anything! I’m always happy to schedule a chat to discuss your vision and see if you click. The best photographers will listen to your ideas and offer suggestions to make your day even better.


How to Make the Most of a Wedding Photographer


Once you’ve chosen your photographer, here are a few tips to ensure they capture your day perfectly:


  • Create a Shot List:
    Share any must-have shots with your photographer, like family group photos.
  • Trust Their Expertise: While it’s good to have a few ideas, let your photographer work their magic. They’ll know the best spots and angles for your venue.
  • Embrace the Weather: Cornwall’s weather can be unpredictable, but don’t let it dampen your spirits. Rainy or misty days can create atmospheric and memorable images.
