WHAT WE DO:

We capture our weddings on Digital & Analogue Film Equipment. For lovers of analogue, you have the option to add just a few rolls of 35mm or medium format. For the purists, we have an entirely hybrid package offering a glorious mix of both digital and film blended together to create a truly artful wedding gallery with a nostalgic feel.

If you’re looking for an analogue wedding video, we offer Super 8 home movies. We also craft bespoke wedding films shot on digital crafted to suit your vibes. No templates or worn out tropes, just beautiful and timeless storytelling.

LOVELY WORDS

We booked Sarah and Jon for our wedding after seeing the beautiful work they produced for our best friend's wedding. They are not only extremely talented photgraphers and film makers, but just an absolute pleasure to spend time with. They made us, and our guests, feel so comfortable on they day and it honestly just felt like having two friends along to the wedding with us. They absolutely nailed the brief we sent to them for both the photos and the film and we honestly couldn't believe the quality. They were really fast sending us the initial photos and film trailer which we really appreciated. Although we weren't sure whether to pay extra to have a film too, we are so glad we did, it captured the day perfectly and is such a lovely way for us to relive the best weekend of our lives. Sarah and Jon - you're amazing artists and beautiful souls - thank you so much for being a part of our wedding weekend and capturing it so perfectly

-Jen & Dave
Words are not enough to express the gratitude we feel that Ailsa, my wedding dress designer, recommended Sarah as our photographer. We initially had planned to go without one due to budget constraints, but had to take the plunge for Sarah after seeing her beautiful art. Sarah so beautifully captured all the moments at our wedding, and the previews were sent to us so quickly, we were shocked! We loved spending time with Sarah, and it really felt like another friend had come to join us at our wedding even though it was our first time meeting in person. Despite being camera-shy and awkward potatoes, Sarah made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera (almost like it wasn’t there!) and gently directed us on what to do. I would recommend Lyra and Moth to anyone who wishes to capture whimsy and magic on their special day.

-Heidy & Chris
Simple words cannot describe how utterly amazing Sarah is! The pictures alone should speak for themselves, but I will be doing my absolute best to convince you that if you have not already booked Sarah for your next special event, then you should waste no time now in doing so! Not only is Sarah a fantastic photographer who captures the essence and unpredictability of your time with her, but she herself is just such a pleasure to work with and talk to. She will make you feel so comfortable in yourself and create true, lasting memories for you. Myself and my partner were not looking for traditional set photos of our wedding day, but to capture the day as it really was. Sarah truly is like a ninja; I hardly noticed her darting around the wedding. I hope to have Lyra and Moth as permanent fixtures in mine and my husband's lives to capture all our milestones! Thank you, Sarah, for a wonderful day!

-Ella & Theo
"Sarah is not only a fantastic photographer but she's also a lovely and sincere person that we felt comfortable with immediately. Driving us through the Cornish countryside on our way to and from Holywell Beach after our ceremony she was great fun and her love of Cornwall really shone through. She made a special day feel even more so with her warmth and genuine passion for what she does. Overall we couldn't recommend Lyra & Moth highly enough. Thank you for being so amazing!"

-Kathryn & Alex
"There will never be enough words to express how truly wonderful and exceptionally talented Sarah and Jon are. The work they created for our wedding was more than we could of ever imagined and they are the kindest, most genuine individuals. We are so grateful to have had them to capture our wedding day."

-Sophie & Matt
We had an incredible time with Sarah on an adventure couple shoot, exploring gorgeous corners of Cornwall that we never knew existed without Sarah! The result is SO good - everything we were looking for and imagined. On the day, you can and should totally trust Sarah - she has an eye for the perfect colour palette, the best composition, all the little details and magic that creates a romantic, artistic, and atmospheric vibe. Sarah's love for the region and for photography really shines through. Like most couples, we are not the most photogenic or natural couple in front of cameras, but Sarah made us feel instantly at ease, there was no forced posing, we were just being ourselves and at one with nature! We feel so lucky to have found her and can't thank her enough

-An & Duc
We booked Lyra & Moth for our elopement wedding in Cornwall this summer and we couldn’t have wished for better! What appealed to us about Lyra & Moth is that they’re not your standard wedding photographer, which is just what we we were after. Sarah was incredible from the beginning and was such a joy to spend the day with on our wedding. It was just like having a close friend photograph us for the day. After the ceremony she took us off to a quiet coastal spot and we had just the best time! I was quite anxious about the prospect of being photographed, but Sarah helped us to feel so comfortable and made it such an enjoyable experience. Once we received the photos back, we were absolutely blown away. Sarah truly has such a talent for capturing those precious moments in such a beautiful way. I honestly can’t recommend her enough and wish we could do it all over again!

-Megan & Tim
We are so pleased we booked Sarah for our wedding photography. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she also has such a warm, happy and calm personality that we loved having her there! Our photos are better than we could have imagined. There is something fairytale-like yet natural in her work; she is a real artist. Thank you Sarah.
