Natural & Documentary Wedding Photography in Cornwall
I’m Maryann, a Cornwall wedding photographer with 15 years of experience and a genuine passion for real, unscripted moments. Holding a BA and MA in Photography, I’ve spent over a decade and a half honing a style that’s natural, documentary, and quietly romantic. With over 200 weddings photographed across Cornwall and beyond — from clifftop ceremonies above the Atlantic to intimate barn receptions tucked into the Cornish countryside — I bring both the technical skill and the human warmth to capture your day exactly as it feels. I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple gets my full attention. Whether you’re planning a relaxed elopement or a full-day celebration, I’d love to tell your story.
My style is part documentary, part quietly romantic. I’ll catch the bridesmaid wiping a tear during the speeches, the groom’s hand finding the small of his partner’s back, the dog photo-bombing the family group. I won’t make you stand awkwardly in a row pretending to laugh. We’ll go for a wander instead — find some good light, talk about your week, let the camera do its thing while you forget I’m there.
Brides, grooms, partners of every kind — Cornwall weddings come in every shape, and so do the people getting married. Two brides, two grooms, partners and people of every gender — you’re all welcome here, and your love story will be told honestly, beautifully, and entirely on your terms.
Cornwall is my canvas. I work across the whole county and know its light intimately — from the beaches at St Ives and the cliffs above Porthleven, to the wide open moor at Bodmin, the hidden creeks of the Fal, the wild headlands of the Lizard, and the harbour at Padstow. Popular venues I’ve photographed include Trevenna, Knightor Winery, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Beacon Crag, Bosvathick, Pendennis Castle, Trelowarren, The Rosevine, and many intimate barn conversions and private estates across mid and west Cornwall. Wherever your day takes us, I’ll meet you there.
Based in mid Cornwall, I cover weddings across the whole county including Truro, St Ives, Penzance, Falmouth, Newquay, Padstow, Bodmin, Helston, St Austell, Looe, and the Isles of Scilly. I also travel regularly to Devon, Somerset, and beyond — travel fees may apply for weddings more than 60 miles from Truro.
How far in advance should I book?
Most couples book 12–18 months ahead, especially for popular summer Saturdays. I only take a small number of weddings per year so I can give each one the attention it deserves — I’d recommend getting in touch as early as possible.
Do you photograph elopements?
Absolutely. Some of my favourite days have been small, intimate elopements — just the two of you, a wild Cornish headland, and a sense of adventure. Get in touch and we can design a day that fits exactly what you want.
What’s included in your packages?
All packages include a pre-wedding consultation, full-day coverage, a professionally edited online gallery, and print-quality downloads. Full details and pricing are on the pricing page.
Can we meet before booking?
Yes — I always recommend a call or video chat before booking so we can make sure we’re the right fit. I want you to feel completely comfortable with me on your wedding day.
Do you travel outside Cornwall?
Yes! I love destination weddings and have photographed across the UK and Europe. Just ask.

I'm a Cornwall wedding photographer based in mid Cornwall, and this county is my canvas. The beaches at St Ives, the cliffs above Porthleven, the wide open moor at Bodmin, the hidden creeks of the Fal, the wild headlands of the Lizard, the harbour at Padstow — wherever your love story takes us, I'll meet you there.

Brides, grooms, partners of every kind — Cornwall weddings come in every shape, and so do the people getting married. Two brides, two grooms, partners and people of every gender, you're all welcome here, and your love story will be told the same way: honestly, beautifully, and entirely on your terms.
Real moments over perfection. Storytelling over staging. The good light, the goosebumps, the first dance under the fairy lights, the way you look at each other when you think no one's watching — that's what I'm here for. Find out about pricing and packages.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, I'd love to hear from you. Tell me about your day, your people, your venue, your dog. Let's make some photographs you'll actually want to print.
I am so glad you are here! If there are any questions I can answer for you, just drop me a message, I would love to hear from you.
