Attentive, confident, skilled and disarming!

Chris was an absolutely fantastic photographer and one who took real care getting to know what we wanted for our wedding. He really got to the heart of the vibe and energy we wanted as well as took the time to nail down what were the key groups / sections of the day and any dynamics which are sometimes a bit tricky to navigate!

The images we received were the perfect balance of crafted and candid, and on the day we never felt that Chris was looming which I have seen with other weddings I have attended! He was gracious as an attendee, made everyone feel comfortable and got the best out of all the subjects he was capturing.

At times I didn’t even notice he was there until I saw the photos when they were delivered - it’s clear he was a ninja in a past life.

Not only did he capture our guests and family in the best way, but he was also skilled at capturing still life and environmental shots which meant a lot, as we took such pride in our venue and decor. He’s clearly very well versed in his craft and also briefed us on the best time of day to capture certain moments.

All in all I couldn’t recommend Chris more, he felt as much a guest as a vendor and we absolutely couldn't have asked for more.

Book Chris now!

When planning our wedding one of the most important thing to us was choosing the right person to photograph our big day and boy did we choose right!
After looking through many, Chris's photos really stood out to us with his style and how everyone looked so at ease in his photos. Everything on his website was so detailed that you really knew what you were getting from the word go.
We had a engagement/family photo shoot prior to the wedding which gave us the chance to meet Chris in person, break the ice amd get familiar in front of the camera which I thought was a brilliant idea considering we aren't the most photogenic! We were so pleased with the photos we couldn't wait for our wedding and we were not disappointed!
Chris fit right in with everyone, made everyone feel relaxed and he made sure to capture everything that we wanted. Communication with him was perfect which is exactly what you want when planning a wedding! We will recommend him to anyone! Everything was just amazing thank you so much Chris!

Beautiful Photos, Amazing Photographer

Chris photographed our Wedding at Polurrian Hotel in 2024, and he was brilliant! When looking back on our wedding day we wanted a collection of photos that were natural and relaxed, this is what exactly what we got, and more. The photos are beautiful, and as a couple we were able to see some candid moments of our guests that we did not see ourselves on the day.

Not only are the photos themselves stunning but Chris on the day was great, he was friendly and humorous, and made all of the wedding party feel at ease. He blended in well, and at moments we didn't realise he was there!

Communication in the run up to the wedding was great, and the engagement shoot made us a little less nervous of the camera!

We are so pleased that we booked with Chris, and would recommend to anyone looking for a photographer. Thanks again!!

Book chris

Stop what you are doing and book Chris for your wedding RIGHT NOW! Chris was amazing and my friends are family are STILL talking about him months after the wedding. He was so friendly, and really worked with us to capture the day. My husband and I are both not posed photo people and he was super respectful of that and didn't push for photos that we were't feeling up for. However, he did make sure to give us lots of opportunities to capture moments if we wanted (sunset etc). He truly felt like part of the wedding party and made us feel so comfortable. The drone shot he got of our ceremony is AMAZING. Honestly, if you aren't booking Chris you are missing out.

Awesome photographer

Chris did our wedding in November and he was fab. We are not people who love coupley photos but he made us feel at ease from the minute we met for our engagement shoot. We wanted natural, organic moments capture throughout our day and he did just that. Love all of the teaser photos, and I cannot wait to see the rest. Thank you again Chris. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic, would recommend

We had Chris as the photographer for our wedding at Brickhouse Vineyard in August. We don’t feel particular comfortable in front of a camera and were very nervous about having pictures on the day but Chris did an amazing job at making us feel comfortable and have fun throughout! We had an engagement shoot included prior to the day which was a lovely opportunity to get to know him and meant that Chris felt like one of our friends when it got to the wedding.

We absolutely love Chris’ style of photography and he got lots of amazing candid shots of friends and family which were special moments that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

We would definitely recommend Chris and love looking through all the photos of the day!

Incredible

We are so lucky we found Chris to capture our wedding day!

On the day, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed while also making us laugh - and he knew the area well, so he chose some stunning spots! He was able to turn our dream of wedding and adventure into reality.

The photos we got back were amazing, and they perfectly captured everything about our day. They have exceeded our expectations in every way - they are just magical and bring back so many emotions.

Our friends and family were blown away by how stunning the photos and videos were - worth every penny! Thank you so much Chris.

Wedding Photography

Chris provided an outstanding service to our Wedding Day, absolutely professional to the last minute and a friendly manner throughout, we could not recommend a better photographer to be used. The images and availability were smooth and incredibly user friendly, not to mention the quality of the photos was 10/10. I would have no second thoughts to look to book Chris again for any major events where a professional photographer is needed.

Incredible Cornish wedding photographer

From our very first video call with Chris we knew we had found someone special. He made us feel relaxed and was very easy to chat to, the fact that he takes incredible photographs was the icing on the cake. We loved that Chris includes a pre-wedding engagement shoot in his wedding package so that we could meet prior to the day and break the ice. We also got to explore Cornwall a little bit more and our golden hour/sunset photos were breathtaking. On the big day Chris instantly made everyone feel at ease, he has a unique quality of blending in seamlessly, like he's one of the guests almost. We knew we were in for a treat when we got our wedding sneak peaks back, but recieving our wedding album was almost as good as the day itself. Looking back at our beautiful day and seeing that Chris had captured the moments we had asked for but also all of the wonderful, candid details and silly moments we didn't know we needed! If you want fun filled, meaningful shots taken by an exceptionally talented photographer then Chris is your man.

We couldn't have asked for more!

Well, what can we say about Chris? ...Book him immediately!!!

From the very beginning of our wedding planning Chris was brilliant. Extremely professional, communicative, so accommodating of our diaries and the surprise activities we sprung upon him, and he put us both hugely at ease on the day. What's more is that the photos are truly incredible! All of our family and friends have expressed how great the photographer was and we're already recommending him to others for their events. To top it all off, Chris is a just a really nice guy and we enjoyed getting to know him and hope we can keep in touch. Thanks so much Chris!

Amazing professional photographer who felt like one of the family!

We chose Chris to be our wedding photographer as we loved the photos he took at other weddings; they looked relaxed and informal, like Chris had just caught little moments between people and nothing seemed forced. We had planned a very relaxed, small wedding and this was exactly the style of photos we had been searching for.
From initial contact, right through to the wedding itself, Chris' friendly and relaxed approach made the whole thing easy to arrange and he made us feel at ease for the day itself. He was prompt at replying to messages to reassure us and the payment process was super easy.
On the day itself, Chris became one of the family and fitted in with everyone just perfectly! He was great at getting shots when you did not even realise he was there, and he was equally brilliant getting group shots as we had pre-discussed, working with our wedding day dog nanny, Shelley, to include our dog.
We are so thrilled with the wedding photos and they capture our memories perfectly, as we remember the day and we will cherish them forever!
Thanks so much once again Chris, we will be recommending you to everyone we know and hope to maybe have some anniversary shoots with you too!

The best photographer for a Cornish wedding

Well where do we start? Chris has been an absolute blessing throughout our entire wedding journey.
After being impressed with his brilliant portfolio when we were deciding on our photographer we arranged a call with Chris who took the time to take us through everything about his style, expectations from us, our preferences and choices and also himself. He made us feel at ease throughout and was evidently very knowledgeable about our location in Cornwall and what we were after. It was a perfect match! Proved more so in the engagement shoot we had pre-wedding, where Chris delivered an amazing album with us on the beach of the venue and made us feel at ease before the big day.
The day itself couldn't have been more perfect, and Chris was an instrumental part of it, from the morning all the way through to the night, Chris was amazing!
Many of our family and friends also commented how Chris felt like a part of the family, a testament to his character and his photography skills.
The best choice we made, not to mention the final wedding photos we recieved were exactly what we wanted.
10/10, would recommend and urge everyone deciding to get married in Cornwall to give Chris a call. You will not regret it!
Thanks so much Chris.

Amazing Photographer!

Chris is not only a talented photographer, but an amazing person to work with. His natural charm and humour made working with him not only a pleasure, but also he had the ability to put us both at ease. He was a big hit with all the guests, both adults and children! Chris has a great natural ability to capture the feel, essence and emotion of the day through reportage and standard techniques. I would highly recommend Chris for any wedding and other photography, a truly professional, organised and genuine guy. Thanks Chris for an amazing day!

Fantastic!

We cannot recommend Chris highly enough. He came as a personal recommendation from a friend and from the first contact we had with him he put us completely at ease. Chris arranged an engagement shoot before our wedding and as soon as we received those photos we were so excited for how our wedding photos would look! Chris had scouted our wedding venue prior to our wedding day to get an idea of the best places for photos. On the day itself Chris arrived early and managed to ease the nerves of the groom and best man! He managed to strike the perfect balance between being proactive and helping to keep us to schedule, but also being inconspicuous enough to allow us and our guests to relax. He put our guests completely at ease, and that combined with his expertise and clearly natural talent has resulted in us receiving a stunning wedding album full of natural and relaxed pictures of us and our guests that we will truly treasure.

Fantastic wedding photographer!

I'm so glad we had Chris to capture our wedding! As someone who is particularly awkward in front of a camera, I was delighted at how relaxed, personable, fun but professional Chris is. His engagement shoot was a great way to get to know each other and enabled us to relax on the wedding day knowing he would capture the best of us. His communication was spot on, including a helpful questionnaire to ensure he captured all the group shots/important people we wanted. I was keen for the day to be as relaxed as possible, and Chris delivered really beautiful, natural photos of us and our guests. We received so many comments on how wonderful he was, particularly with the children - he caught some lovely moments even from reluctant toddlers! Chris had done his homework on the area and scoped out some spots for the more intimate photos of us and it was lovely to escape for a little while and be 'in the moment'. We received some previews a couple of days later which were beautiful, and made us so excited for the full set. To say we are delighted with the photos is an understatement, Chris captured the relaxed intimate feel perfectly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone! Thanks Chris!
