With the recent end of the first series of Poldark, there is a glum face in our house. Ross Poldark will not be appearing 'till the next series, much to Lucie's annoyance. So to cheer her up and to burn off some of the endless energy that our kids seem to have, we headed out to West Penwith to have a nosey around some of the ancient landscapes that Ross might have come across himself....
No sightings of him though, or the lovely Demelza for that matter.....
If you have not visited Ding Dong Mine, the Men-an-tol, the Nine Maidens, Carn Galver, Lanyon Quoit or just wandered around the landscape in this part of Cornwall, it really is an incredible mix of heritage, wildlife and big views, which on a day like today provides some dramatic skies to capture and a few hours of appetite building stomping.
Go take a look for yourself one afternoon....

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)
