About – South Wales Wedding Photographer

Award Winning Wedding Photographer

Hello, I’m Edmund Shum, a dedicated wedding photographer situated in Llanelli, South Wales.

My journey here has been made possible by the unwavering love and support of my family. Embracing my passion for photography has proven to be a profound and rewarding aspect of my life. I consider it a great honor to pursue my heart’s calling through the lens. Photography serves as my medium for artistic expression, enabling me to encapsulate stories and emotions within a single frame. I am eager to craft a masterpiece from the moments of your wedding day.

With a dozen years of experience, extensive training, and numerous documented weddings, complemented by my commitment to exceptional customer service and a unique vision, I am excited about the prospect of being part of your special day.

Feel free to explore my portfolio and delve into my blog for the latest updates. Some of my work has been featured in prominent publications such as the South Wales Evening Post, Llanelli Star, Wales Online, DailyMail Online, Baby Center, That’s Life, and Woman magazine.

I am proud to have contributed to projects for Sky, Channel 4, Domino’s Pizza, and collaborated with a fellow photographer as a lighting technician on a BBC Series. In 2018, I had the privilege of serving as the Official Photographer for Miss Europe Continental Wales Region.

Creator of quality images and thinker of fresh ideas

OK… so that’s the formal introduction done. Here’s what I REALLY want to say! I’m easy going and fun to get along with, I’ll crack the worse jokes, that you’ll laugh at me, and not at the punchline! I’m usually discreet around ceremony and candid photos, and loud when forming group photos. I get insanely excited when I take a great photo, and will run to you like a child to show you the back of the camera! I love to dance, so if there’s a rockin’ beat on the dance floor, I will definitely be up there with my camera, I can be formal, but I would prefer a hug over a handshake!!

I’ve solo travelled the world, and have visited many different countries whilst experiencing new cultures, and when planning holidays, I have to make sure it’s somewhere I’ve not been before. Being an overseas wedding photographer suits me ideally!
