My aim is to create magical photos for you to forever remember your special day.

Report
Wedding Photographer I focus on the relationships between people, capturing their expressions and emotions, often taking the picture when the subject is unaware.

There is no better occasion to be taking photos than at a wedding. To record a couples special day is an honour. It is undoubtedly the best time to capture those tears of joy, or the proud look on the parents faces through to big smiles and laughter.

Because it's your day, I will work with you in an informal, discreet manner, photographing you and your guests in a unobtrusive manner but also blending that style with more creative/dramatic wedding images. I can guide you, when required, in any traditional or more formal wedding photographs should you so wish.
I offer a mix of relaxed documentary photography with creative and artistic portraits. I may be slightly biased, but for a photographer, there isn't a better place to live than Cornwall. With its stunning landscapes and charming seaside villages, there's always something incredible to photograph. And the weddings that take place here are right up my street - laid back, relaxed and with couples who are always up for making the most of the amazing surroundings.If that sounds like you then I'd love to hear more about your plans!
I am Paul Keppel. I specialise in wedding photography covering the whole of the UK but predominantly the South-West. I am passionate about photography ever since studying at secondary school. Having followed my formal education with careers in bar management and ultimately ski instruction, I recently returned to full time education to secure a degree in photography.
My approach to wedding photography is relaxed and yet creative; most of a wedding day I spend my time photographing in a reportage - photojournalistic way. During your wedding day I try and work with the natural light as much as possible and may place the bride and groom into a location, which allows me to capture special moments in beautiful light.
From the moment Matt and I first met Paul, his personable, warm and friendly nature made us feel instantly at ease. After seeing the pure talent and stunning images that Paul had in his portfolio and having him recommended to us from all of our wedding vendors as number one photographer, there was no question that we wanted Paul to capture our special day.
As a documentary wedding photographer, I am always close to the action, feedback from my couple's say that they feel I blend into the background and capture the love, happiness, and personality of the wedding. Having photographed so many weddings I understand the flow and timings of the day so I can anticipate the best angles and be in the right place at the right time.

Cornwall has a very high standard of wedding photographers, but Paul is cream of the crop. A true master of his art, our wedding photos will be treasured for the rest of our lives. He captured our Wedding Day in May and his photos are stunning- classy, timeless, personal and he has captured our families perfectly! Each photo is so full of joy, narrative and personality.

His communication from booking was efficient and personal, he was interested in all the small details that made our day "ours" and we were never just 'yet another couple'. He captured all the shots we wanted and the ones we didn't know we did! Our first snapshot of photos came through the very same evening, and a beautiful "teaser" slideshow on our first week married.

The entire album came through from Paul with great communication by 2 weeks after the wedding and we followed his suggestion to make an evening of watching the photos and reliving our day, which was a great touch. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you're a bit conscious of having a lens on you all day, fear not. You don't even notice Paul is there! He is so subtle and when you do want to chat with him, friendly, calm and patient. Thank you Paul for capturing our day exactly how I remember it.

Bottom line: Paul is an amazing photographer. He did such a fantastic job capturing all of our special moments and emotions on our big wedding weekend in Zermatt, Switzerland in February 2022. Paul's experience, passion for photography, and easy-going attitude made working with him an absolute pleasure. He was also very quick in turning around all the highly anticipated photos, which turned out beautifully. We bought a photo album and framed photo - and we are very happy with the outcome. Paul comes highly recommended

Paul is absolutely incredible! We used him for our wedding and engagement photos and we could not be happier with the results. He is professional, communicative, flexible, easy to work with, and not to mention, a very skilled photographer. Not having a wedding planner wasn't an issue for us, because Paul has photographed so many weddings that he knew all the little transitions and precious moments to capture.

We are forever grateful for the beautiful pictures that we now have to treasure for years to come that allow us to relive the best day of our lives. THANK YOU, PAUL! You are truly one of a kind and we feel so blessed to have found you.

Paul was our photographer when I proposed to my (now) fiancee Josie - he provided very helpful guidance before the proposal (where/when/how) and he took amazing photos of the proposal itself and many other shots before and after the proposal on the beach. We both felt very comfortable with him. Josie and I can recommend Paul 100% - we are super happy with how he captured our very special day. If you look for an amazing wedding/proposal photographer - look no further: Paul's your man.

I asked Paul to help secretly capture my proposal. He was really proactive and helpful in planning the right spot that would deliver the best photo. Great photos and efficient, quick and friendly service. Haven't got the photos up on the wall yet as we're about to move house, but here's some resting on the bed! Would recommend Paul to anyone!

Absolutely thrilled with the stunning photographs and highly professional service Paul provided for us for our daughter's wedding in Sep-21. He had been highly recommended to us by a very experienced Wedding Planner who had observed many wedding photographers over the years and she couldn't speak more highly of Paul. and we are so glad we followed her recommendation! Paul was with us all day, from preparations in the morning through to the end of the day, and his care and attention didn't lapse once!

He was highly personable and approachable, and we felt totally confident in his hands - Paul took the lead when it was needed but was very careful to not be intrusive either. Our daughter's wedding was quite different to the norm with it being a micro-wedding (just 7 adults plus small child) but that certainly didn't present any challenge for Paul!

We travelled away from the venue in the afternoon for some incredibly scenic photographs at Kynance and Poldhu Coves - the results were spectacular like something you might see in a Hollywood movie! We would have no hesitation at all in recommending Paul Keppel Photography - he was an absolute pleasure to work with and his work is amazing. Thank you so much Paul for capturing so many happy memories of our daughter's long awaited and very special day!

Wow, where to start! So much thought, time and effort went into planning this shoot, and I had absolutely no idea just how special it was going to be. The proposal was a complete surprise to me – I thought we were just having a lovely couple’s photo shoot on the beach - but I know now how much planning went into the whole day between my (now) fiancée and Paul, and how fundamental Paul was to making sure it went perfectly.

It was overwhelming in the best possible way, and the photographs which resulted are just incredible.

Paul was attentive, professional, thoughtful, flexible and just the loveliest person to work with. What I loved is that he allowed us to take him to our favourite spots – even when it meant trekking down a cliff to a secluded beach or climbing over rocks - nothing was too much trouble.

He thought of everything during our shoot, and knew exactly what would look amazing. He even knew how to make our shadows look perfect! He gave his professional direction whilst allowing my fiancée and I to just be ourselves and have so much fun with it. I never once felt awkward and this really shone through in the photos - they are so natural and authentic, but just so expertly captured by Paul. It was an amazing and genuinely unforgettable experience, and we are so lucky to be able to keep that moment forever now. We are just thrilled.

Thank you Paul, for our beautiful photos. Due to a number of issues covid being one, we did the initial meet with Paul over the phone and from that conversation he knew exactly what we wanted/were looking for, and any questions we had, Paul was alway quick to respond. Our photos were one of the things i never worried over, as i knew we got a great photographer.
Paul fitted right in, and we didn't know he was about capturing the shots most of the time. (Again exactly what we wanted, natural photos). The photos turned out amazing and the colours in them are just wow. Highly recommended

Absolutely delighted with Paul’s photography for my daughters wedding day. Profession at its best. I highly recommend Paul. He made the pictures look amazing and made us look amazing 😋 I recommend him that much I’ve asked him to do photography work for my company and he happily accepted. Don’t look any further if you are looking for the best.

Such a beautiful proposal, captured perfectly by Paul. I decided to propose to my girlfriend when we traveled up to Newquay, Cornwall, and Paul's page popped up, I reached out and we had a good chat on how we were going to do this. It was weeks of planning and Paul helped out every step of the way. I am from London so he knew the local area a lot more than I.

I also wanted to capture the proposal on video, so Paul suggested me to be miked up. The day came, he met us at our Air B & B, Paul was my ex-colleague who was into media recording equipment, he was working for a TV station and asked us if we wanted to join him on the beach and he will also take some photo of us. A plausible story, as I love video and audio gaear, have a chat with Paul, he his a master of deception, insuring the surprise is there.

After the proposal, he sent some photos to us on the same day so we could show friends and family. A week later we received the whole gallery, alongside a video. Perfectly edited. Thank you Paul! Alex & Janice

Paul was fantastic from the moment we placed our booking. Great communication and always available to meet with us whenever we were in Cornwall. On the day he arrived on time and just got straight to work he was extremely professional throughout, friendly and good fun to have around. The photographs he took were amazing...capturing all our precious moments in a really unique way and creating pictures with stunning sunsets that people always comment on whenever they look through our wedding album. Paul knows how to truly capture the day for each couple as individuals in a truly bespoke way. We would definitely recommend him to others.... and hopefully he will still be available when we renew our vows on our 10th anniversary!!

Paul was fantastic with his service making us feel like the most important people in the world throughout our wedding day and evening. He used his artistic talents to produce stunning photographs of memories that we will treasure forever.
Paul worked tirelessly to capture events throughout the day that we had missed in the whirlwind of activity going on around us.
Paul was fantastic value for money as his high standards place him a cut above other photographers. Five stars are not enough for Paul Keppel Photography.

After much online searching we finally found Paul Keppel Photography. When initially meeting Paul he was able to talk through his portfolio, discussing his style and how he took his shots. We wanted someone with experience and creative flair which showed through with his portfolio. Throughout the day, Paul took hundreds of photos, and most of the time we didn't even know he was there.

On reviewing the photos he gave his professional opinion on how to arrange the photo album which looked great. The photos we received were honest, natural and beautiful shots that we could have only hoped for when we were initially looking for a photographer. I would certainly recommend Paul as a wedding photographer and would recommend booking him early.
Rebeka McClintock
Paul was a fantastic wedding photographer and really helped to make our day perfect. His communication leading up to the day was great and on the day itself he slotted in perfectly. I underestimated how important it is to get on well with your photographer as myself and my husband spent a lot of time with him on the day. There is nothing to worry about on this front with Paul as he was great!

He helped sort out my train on multiple occasions and gave great advise on other things when asked. The pictures I have seen so far have been amazing and I can't wait to receive the rest soon. I would highly recommend him.
Melissa Beyaz
Absolutely brilliant. From going above and beyond on our day to the delivery of final pictures - Paul is a real gem with a unique portfolio. With an appreciation for photography, we wanted something that stood out but was timeless. Paul delivered. I couldn't recommend enough. A decision you will not regret.
Jack Pilkington
Paul was the exact kind of photographer we wanted for our wedding. We were organising a Cornish wedding from Australia so we looked at lots of photographer's websites to find a style that suited us. We fell in love with the photos that Paul had taken at our venue (Trevenna Barns) of previous weddings and also what he was had for other places. When we met up with him, he was very easy going and had lots of albums for us to see of his work (come rain or shine).

We bonded well with him and that was it - he was our photographer. We met up again the week before just to go through the shots that we would like from the wedding and also what he recommended. Because we were late in the season, he suggested some shots that he hadn't done with other couples which we both liked the sound of. On the wedding day he was fantastic. Got lots of photos of us getting ready (without being in the way) and then during the ceremony.

After the ceremony was complete he chauffeured us to the spots that he had picked out for us and got some beautiful photos. He was really flexible with how our day was going. The wedding album is really well put together. Paul has out done himself through out the entire process. We will quite happily recommend him to anyone getting married.

Although Paul is a wedding photographer, we have used him time and time again for our children's Thai boxing promotional pictures. He is brilliant with our children and is patient with our youngest who is not the best at taking direction. We recently forwarded a picture Paul took for a fight show in London and the promoters told us that it was the best quality photo they had ever recieved for the fight promotion poster.

The children always look forward to having different shots done with Paul and are always made to feel at ease during photo shoots. Paul's professionalism is always present on the shoot day and in his finished work. Look forward to using his services again.
