The new name for Cornwell Photography
Welcome to Malthouse Photography
Being called Cornwell and living in Dorset has its downsides – people think we come from Cornwall and aren’t anywhere near them. During Lockdown we’ve taken time to re-brand to Malthouse Photography. If you came here by searching for Cornwell Photography or www.morethanaphotograph.com don’t worry – you’re in the right place!
Don’t want to have endless groups?
Group photos suck. They take forever and everyone is bored. Sounds familiar? That can be how it goes.
Unless we do them.
We do groups quickly and efficiently meaning you get extra time to relax with your guests.
Unforgettable memories for you. No cheese. No fuss. No stress.
If you’d like a FREE guide to how to keep the groups to a minimum just use the contact form below and ask me. I’ll email it to you as quick as I can and you won’t be on an annoying automated mailing list.
Why us?
The first wedding I photographed was back in 2006: you could say I’ve done quite a few by now!
You’re in safe hands.
I can bore you with my qualifications if you’re interested. Suffice to say I’ve qualified with the British Institute of Professional Photography as an Associate and been thoroughly checked out. I trained in wedding photography with one of the best in the business.
What’s my photographic history or kit list? If you want to know that stuff I’ll happily chat away. But that’s not my job.
My job is to capture those little interactions of your guests through the day. It’s a job I do well.
I make it easy for you to look good.
I’m based in Dorset and cover the South West, but we used to live in Hampshire and cover there too and… ok, I will travel anywhere to do your wedding. Just ask me.
Me – trying to look cool.
The nitty gritty – what does it cost?
It’s always the first question we get asked, “how much do you charge?”
I’ll save you asking. Please don’t ask for a discount unless you don’t mind being told “no”: these prices are as inexpensive as I can make them and still earn an honest crust.
Coronavirus and your wedding photography
Many of you will be uncertain about what is happening with your wedding as a result of coronavirus. I quite understand – it’s uncertain in many ways for all of us.
Here’s a little bit of news to help you with your booking.
Booking Fees/Deposits
To take the issue of “booking deposits” out of the equation…
When you book with me you usually pay a booking fee. This is either £400 or the total cost if that’s less than £400. That fee is just that – a fee. It’s not a refundable “deposit”. Not usually anyway: but until this thing blows over all booking fees I will refund if you need to move/cancel your booking.
“Can we have just a few hours?” – YES!
I also understand that we don’t know what is happening to weddings after the lockdown is over. Will they be five individuals in a room and no photographer? Will any of us that’s been hit financially be able to afford a “full wedding photography package”?
To help with that second issue I am offering that my “mid-week quickie” will be available at the week-end too as a Coronavirus Special.
You can ask me for “just a couple of hours” and as long as it is one venue that’s what you’ll get. I reserve the righ to book other “couple of hours” wedding bookings on the same day – like photographers used to when we got married many years ago. If you want me not to book other weddings on your date then book a half day or a full day package.
That leaves it very much up to you. If you want to book me for the “mid-week quickie” on a prime Saturday date in August that’s cool. If money allows closer to the date you can upgrade to another package (assuming I’ve not taken a second or third booking that day). If money doesn’t allow then you’ve still got the ceremony covered.
I really hope that helps you to work out if you want to book me or not!

Mark is extraordinarily talented and makes people feel at ease. He helped make our wedding day extra special and captured some truly emotional photos without being intrusive. A lot of our guests commented on how thorough and professional, yet friendly he was.
Thanks again for gifting us with such precious memories.
Mark was the photographer at our wedding and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is extremely professional and personable. He was possibly the most organised person in the whole event and was always easy to contact during the run up to the wedding. His technical experience was impressive and, on the day, he was wonderful at advising people on how to pose and in arranging groups for photos. The photos themselves were imaginative and beautiful. Several wedding guests commented how brilliant he was both on the wedding day and after they had seen the photos. He has a wonderful eye for detail and took fantastic photos of flowers, rings, etc.
