Coastal weddings move differently.
The light changes constantly. The tide rolls in and out. Guests spill out onto the terrace. There’s laughter bouncing off the cliffs and that unmistakable sea breeze energy.
It’s unpredictable in the best way.
My approach at Tunnel Beaches is always documentary-led. I capture the fun, emotion and atmosphere as it unfolds, working quietly with a fly-on-the-wall presence. I won’t pull you away for hours of posed photos or make you miss time with your guests.
Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot — it’s a celebration. And the most meaningful photographs are always the natural ones.
Group Photos (Quick, Efficient, Back to the Party)
Whilst 90% of my photography is candid, we’ll absolutely do them — just quickly and efficiently.
Around 8–10 combinations usually works perfectly, taking about 15–20 minutes. The terrace overlooking the sea or the beach itself makes an incredible backdrop.
Then you’re straight back to celebrating (or paddling).
