Having just found out that Llwyn Hall Country House has recently refurbushed, I couldn’t help but pop down to take a look at this absolutely gorgeous wedding venue here in Llanelli. This place looks so good, I had to take a second look, as I thought it was an illustration! haha… well done to the contractors!! Read More
Today’s engagement shoot was with Leighton and Robert at Brecon Mountain Railway! It’s not something I’m used to, so I was really looking forward to it, I love photographing couples at unusual locations, and this is definitely unusual.
I, and many of my fellow professional wedding photographers got tagged in a Facebook post yesterday. Someone had their wedding photographer cancelled on them! 🙁 Read More
Today, I was at Craig Y Nos Castle, South Wales again, I love this venue, so much character and the staff are always so friendly!
A huge congratulations to Joanne and Simon on their beautiful winter wedding at the Craig Y Nos Castle in Brecon, South Wales. With the recent weather warnings of snow, leading up to the big day, parts of the country were snowed in! For me, it was having that horrible feeling of whether I could make it to the wedding or not. Luckily, on the morning, the snow had died down, and the rain had melted a lot of the snow, so I was able to travel up! If that wasn’t the case, I would have hiked up if I had to!
Having photographed so many weddings across South Wales, I’ve decided to expand out and photograph venues further afield. I’m happy to travel anywhere, and now would like to photograph wedding at Gloucestershire, Cheltenham and the Cotswold in the South West of England. Read More
Massive congratulations to Rian and Adam’s beautiful wedding at the Oxwich Bay Hotel yesterday! My first wedding of 2018, and what an amazing one it was to start with.

I love photographing weddings, whether it’s locally in South Wales, or further afield such as Bristol, Tewkesbury, Cotswold, Chippenham etc. Read More
This year, I decided to create my best of 2017 images on everything else but the bride and groom! Why? Because I always hear from couples that they want natural photos, photos of their guests where they are unaware of their photograph being taken,, and if they did, then they’d want to see their personality in them!
So here’s a collection of photos of everyone else at the wedding except the bride and groom! Enjoy!
Early December, on my way to Craig Y Nos Castle, and it was snowing! It snow’s rarely enough here in South Wales, but to be snowing on a wedding that I’m photographing! Amazing! I was so looking forward to getting photographs on the newlyweds in the snow! Read More

I do love going to Brecon for a wedding! Luckily for me, the bridal preparations were also in Brecon. I always enjoy the drive up, but it was pretty foggy, so I couldn’t enjoy the view. Arriving at the Bride’s house, I was welcomed with an amazing view of Brecon and it’s hills, so it would have been rude not to take a photo! See below! Read More

As a South Wales wedding photographer it was a pleasure to be documenting Kelly and Rich’s wedding at the Oxwich Bay Hotel at the Gower in South Wales.
Kelly and Rich decided to get married on 31st October, on Halloween, I was prepared to dress up haha, but they opted not to have fancy dress at their wedding. But they did have some fantastic pumpkin cetrepieces, so glittery, I had to use one to get a photo of the wedding rings!
Okay, so it’s not strictly a wedding, it’s more of a party. Lowri and Jack had their wedding in New York, USA earlier this year, and had their after party here in Neath, South Wales afterwards. Read More

When Kaye first enquired about her wedding with Jason, we met up for a consultation that went so smoothly and quickly, it was hard to believe, Kaye had everything organised, and what she didn’t, knew exactly what she needed! It turned out that she used to be an events organiser! No wonder she was so organised for her wedding day, no stress whatsoever. Read More
