The Cornwell Photography Approach

I love weddings; and I love family photo sessions too. For me, the joy is in creating images and knowing that you, and indeed future generations, will look back lovingly at them.

I call myself the Smile Collector: that’s what I do.

Photos help us to remember: relatives last seen in childhood, anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays mix with walks and memories of so many little moments.

Weddings

Weddings are full of love, passion, fun, excitement, and joy, and I know yours will be too. I like to wait for those interactions between people to unfold: the smiles, the glances, the laughs. I’m an old romantic really and I try to store away those instants for another day. Sometimes I find that a few of the couple’s favourite images are things that they didn’t see.

Because I know that your Wedding will be full of love, passion, fun, excitement, and joy, my job is more than just taking photos. I am with you most of the day and am often lending a hand as well as taking photos.

Naturally there are some groups to do, which I try to do quickly and without them being too formal. That means that you have longer to mix with your friends and family and I can capture those informal images that you really want.

Every wedding is unique though and so the photography for each will be as individual as you are.

Portraits

Just as with weddings, my approach to portraits involves stories. I love it when you are interacting with one other. That is what I strive for in my images. Whether it is a joyous moment of parent and child together or a quiet confidence of someone contentedly thinking, my goal is to tell a story.
