A Magical Setting in Mevagissey


Mevagissey has a charm that’s hard to describe. Quaint cottages, winding harbour paths, and a gentle sea breeze create a magical atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for Emma and Sean’s relaxed yet beautiful wedding. This special day will remain unforgettable.


The day began in a traditional Cornish cottage tucked away in the heart of the village. Here, Emma prepared for the big event, surrounded by close family and friends. The soft morning light streamed through the windows. The textures of the stone walls added character, while the quiet buzz of anticipation offered a calm start to the day.



A Heartfelt Ceremony at St Peter’s Church


The ceremony took place at St Peter’s Church, located just a short walk from the harbour. It felt as though the whole village attended — a sea of familiar faces filled with genuine warmth. This made the vows even more meaningful.


There’s something incredibly special about capturing a ceremony where every smile and glance is filled with connection. Each moment deepened the significance of their promises to one another.


After the ceremony, guests made their way to the harbour for cocktails on the jetty. This personal touch added a unique coastal twist, making the day even more special. The golden hour light danced on the water, creating an atmosphere of effortlessly romantic energy.



Capturing Timeless Moments Along the Coastline


As the sun began to dip, we ventured away for some portraits along the coastline. The gentle breeze, the soft light, and the gorgeous colors of the sky combined to create a stunning backdrop. The atmosphere was refreshing, evoking a sense of timelessness.


These photographs were more than posed images; they captured moments where the couple could breathe, connect, and simply enjoy each other’s company amidst the beauty surrounding them.



An Intimate First Dance to Remember


As evening light gradually faded, Emma and Sean shared their first dance surrounded by family and friends. Guests gathered around, smiling through happy tears. This moment felt beautifully intimate — a lovely pause in the celebration.


With all eyes on them, the couple shared a dance, marking the perfect end to a day filled with laughter, connection, and coastal charm.



The Heart of a Cornish Wedding


Emma and Sean’s day beautifully exemplified how a wedding centered around connection can be truly special. Their celebration was a Cornish wedding in every sense: full of character, warmth, and heart.
