Wedding photography, without the performance

The day as it happened.

I keep things easy. You get on with being married; I’ll notice the good stuff happening around you. And yes, we’ll make time for a few properly brilliant portraits — and if you’re planning something smaller, my elopements page covers that too.

A man with tongue out and a woman kissing his cheek with a castle across the water for Cornwall wedding photography

Hello, I’m Lee

Quietly keeping an eye on all the good bits.

I’m a wedding photographer based in Penzance, working across Cornwall. My approach is documentary at heart: calm, curious and never too polished.

Most weeks you’ll find me somewhere between Mousehole and St Ives — Penzance register office weddings, harbours in Newlyn, the beach at Marazion looking over to St Michael’s Mount, and clifftops out towards Land’s End. Further into Cornwall is never a problem either.

I’ll help when it’s useful, disappear when it isn’t, and make portraits with a little bit of oddness in them.

Cornwall elopement witnesses

Eloping just the two of you? You still need two witnesses.

Every legal ceremony needs two witnesses to sign the register. If you’re coming down to Cornwall on your own, I keep an open directory of friendly locals who are happy to step in for twenty minutes — no booking fee, no commission.

Before you ask

A few questions couples usually have.

Anything else on your mind? Send me a message — I reply to everything myself.

For a full day you’ll typically get somewhere between 400 and 600 edited images — every good moment, not every blink. You’ll have a sneak peek within a week, and the full gallery within 12 weeks.

Not at all — most people are. I won’t pose you into anything that doesn’t feel like you. The portraits are short, relaxed and often a bit silly, and the rest of the day I simply photograph what’s already happening.

Yes — it’s my home patch. I photograph weddings in and around Penzance, Newlyn, Mousehole, Marazion, St Ives and out towards Land’s End, and I know most of the local venues, beaches and back roads well. Being local means I’m also happy to meet up before the day, in person, over a coffee.

I’m based in Penzance and photograph weddings all over Cornwall — from St Ives to Fowey and everywhere in between. Travel within Cornwall is included in all my packages; further afield, just ask.

I’ll come back within a day or two with my availability and an honest answer about your date. If it all looks good, I’ll send over a quote — and once it’s accepted, your date is locked in with a deposit.

Got a date in mind?

Send over the basics and I’ll come back with availability. No hard sell.
