Polurrian on the Lizard, Cornwall UK | Emily & Dean
Emily and Dean celebrated their wedding at Polurrian on the Lizard in Autumn 2023. While I’m based as a wedding photographer in Devon, I love an opportunity to travel down to Cornwall, especially when it’s to a venue as beautiful as this. So a few hours (and quite a few winding roads) later after setting off in Devon, I arrived at the lovely Polurrian Bay Hotel in Cornwall.
The Preparations for Polurrian on the Lizard wedding photography
One of the great things about Polurrian on the Lizard is that it has a number of different locations to get ready, without having to risk seeing your fiancé before the ceremony. Emily was in a condo on the dynamic ridge-line and Dean had sea views from his room just adjacent to the Polurrian Bay Hotel. As my approach is centred around documentary style wedding photography, I love capturing morning moments because there are always so many emotions swirling around in the pre-wedding excitement. Plus, Dean and Emily’s most gorgeous Husky was stationed with us in groom preparations before the ceremony, which provided quite a lot of photography content (yes I have included him in the images, don’t worry…)

A civil ceremony with a sea view
One of the things I love most about Polurrian on the Lizard Wedding photography is the civil ceremony aisle leading down to a breath-taking view of the Cornish Waters and beyond. Once all their guests were seated (with the help of the one and only Husky who work a ‘reserved’ sign for the first few rows), Emily walked down the aisle and her and Dean said their vows, framed by the sea. As a destination wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of seeing some incredible backdrops (see Mel & Pete’s chateau wedding in Toulouse if you’re interested), but this view from Polurrian on the Lizard is truly unforgettable.

The outdoor reception for this Polurrian on the Lizard wedding photography mainly consisted of the confetti shot, group shots and drinks and canapés, all set against the stunning backdrop of Cornish cliffs and the sea.
Polurrian on the Lizard wedding photography for a warm and autumnal wedding reception
Following the outdoor festivities at this lush Cornwall wedding venue, we all headed inside for Emily and Dean’s seasonal autumnal wedding reception. As someone who loves warm tones (if you haven’t already seen from my website colours!), this autumnal colour scheme of moody copper and sage made me very happy indeed. The rest of the night consisted of dancing, drinks and festivities. Read on for the Polurrian on the Lizard wedding photography gallery.
