About Pervaiz

wedding photographer Pervaiz Shah

Hi, Pervaiz here, that's me during a pre-wedding shoot.

Rather than write about myself I thought you may prefer to see what people who have seen me photograph many weddings think so I hope you find these words helpful:

"Pervaiz is a man who oozes fun and a love for life. With a charisma all of his own, he has an uncanny ability to capture those unique moments in time that become precious memories – a rare ability that is essential for capturing the emotions, fun, excitement, intimacy and atmosphere at a wedding.

Within minutes of meeting him, guests become relaxed, and warm to Pervaiz’s immaculate appearance, charm and personality. As a result, he and his camera soon blend into the occasion naturally, which enables him to move about freely.

This provides him with a licence to capture those unbelievable split-second moments, which when viewed later, rekindle the very essence of the event.

Pervaiz has photographed many of the weddings held at Blue Hayes, and his images have been exciting, stunning and almost unbelievable.

Pervaiz seems to use his camera like an artist uses a brush – and with the scenic beauty of St Ives providing the backdrop for those glorious beach scenes, his talents will continue to be in strong demand."

From a former wedding co-ordinator

"As a wedding co-ordinator I am always delighted when couples tell me they have booked Pervaiz as their wedding photographer.

Having worked with Pervaiz on many occasions I feel he has a special gift for making even the shyest of bride and grooms feel relaxed, comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Pervaiz is great fun to be around and he quite obviously loves his job. He truly gets into the spirit of the day; in fact with the way he mingles and blends in with the guests, he often seems like another member of the family.

I have often seen him staying late into the night to capture those funny little moments that other photographers sometimes miss. He somehow manages to capture all the right shots without ever being intrusive.

I can always rely upon Pervaiz to deliver and happily recommend him to our clients at Bedruthan. He creates the most beautiful wedding photos, and along with Leon in the studio, together they create very memorable and unique wedding albums. These feature many precious details and fleeting moments which can be all too easy for the wedding couple to miss when caught up in the excitement of the day.

Pervaiz’s wedding albums are a perfect reminder for years to come.

Everyone feeds back to me how pleased and satisfied they were with his services. I always enjoy seeing the photos after the wedding and the brides take great pride in showing me their new wedding albums (the pictures are so good we have actually used some of them in our promotional material for the hotel). The couples that use Pervaiz certainly sing his praises and feel that he added that extra little something to the day!"

About Me

On a personal note: I spend my time doing what I love and enjoy meeting people from all over the world. Providing my clients with the best of all I do means everything to me.

  • Born in Cornwall
  • Background: Many of my relatives are from a theatrical background, having starred on many of London’s world famous stages, with a passion for the arts which I guess is where my artistic side comes from.
  • My father was a highly respected pro photographer and business man based in Penzance which led to my fascination with photography; I joined the business on leaving school.
  • Love of life: I live each day to the full, laugh lots, never take myself too seriously, enjoy meeting people, give everything I do 100%.
  • Lifestyle: Enjoy a fabulous quality of life here in Cornwall, have a base in London also – best of both worlds.
  • Proudest business achievement: I'm privileged to have had over 1200 couples entrust me with photographing their weddings and get a real buzz exceeding their expectations (their words!)
  • What’s important? Maintaining my hard earned, long standing reputation
