What is it that drives a photographer to keep pushing that shutter in pursuit of engaging images that hold the attention of the viewer? For me, it is more than just trying to capture a record of an event such as a wedding. I am always looking for ways to convey the emotions that people are showing in real time in front of me and condense that into a single frame.
Many photographers don't like shooting weddings - yes they are hard work, and yes there is a pressure to capture unrepeatable moments, but I love them. You are transported into the world of other families for a day or so and with this comes a real sense of responsibility. It is the reason you absolutely have to connect with your wedding photographer. I personally like to meet my couples before the wedding itself, at least once to get to know them a little and what makes them tick. I know other photographers that don't do pre-meets and it still works for them but for me, I think that investment in time is worth every second.
Here are some of my favourite past moments in time from recent weddings, they are images that immediately take me back to the story that was unfolding in front of me and I hope that the same is true for the couples who I shot them for. xx

I'm lucky enough to have had photos featured here:
I am a Cornwall based wedding photographer who is passionate about what he does, I shoot in a largely documentary style which is based on observing and capturing your day as it happens but with a mix of group shots and couples portraits which is discussed and planned with each bride and groom on an individual, bespoke basis. My aim is to take the stress out of having your photos taken on one of the best days of your life and I understand that not everyone likes to be photographed. I'll work with you and your guests to achieve natural shots and will gently guide you through the day without lots of poses.
Here are some of the kind words that previous peeps have said:
"thank you so much for our amazing photos, they capture the day brilliantly. Ian and I really enjoyed looking through them and re-living the day when we got back from honeymoon. It was a pleasure to have you at our wedding,you slotted in just like one of the guests. We will certainly be recommending you to our friends and family. Many thanks" - Ellie and Ian (Bride and Groom)
"Scott, thank you so much for our gorgeous wedding pics. The day was amazing and you put us both at ease. A brilliant recommendation from VB and we won't hesitate to recommend you to our friends!" - Hayley (Bride)
"Thank you so much for all your hard work. Your amazing ability to appear from behind bushes and catch people relaxed and enjoying the day was wonderful. We had lots of coments from guests saying how lovely you were. I hope your arm doesn't ache too much. We can't wait to see the pictures Thank you again xx Scott - it is totally amazing thank you for creating an incredible record of a very special day (yes I'm crying again) xxx" - Michelle (Bride's mum)
"Thank you Scott for a fantastic day! Scott fully understands how to capture the true emotions of a wedding. Keeping photos as natural as possible but at the same time producing a truly professional picture. He maintained a non-intrusive but a relaxed atmosphere, making guests feel at ease so as to capture the best moments. Scott is someone that we highly recommend....FANTASTIC!!!!!!!" - Lana (Bride)
"Couldn't have asked for any more. Fantastic, thoughtful photos and a pleasure to have with us on our big day. Thanks Scott!" - Rich (Groom)
"Scott was a dream to work with from start to finish. He captured our day perfectly and has given us an amazing record to keep forever. His photos are beautiful and now treasured. I can't recommend him highly enough - you will be in safe hands throughout the whole process. Xx" - Jen (Bride)
