The whole day Wedding photography in South Wales, and anywhere else you have decided to get married.
No long photoshoot. No hours of posing while your guests wonder where you have gone.
Most of my weddings are around Porthcawl, Bridgend, Cardiff and the Vale, and I travel for the ones further out. I am not going to run your day, but I will keep you on track, and I will be right next to you for all of it.
From here to your photographs
Six steps, about eighteen monthsTell me the date
Send me the date and roughly where. You get a reply from me, not from a form, and you will know within the day whether I am free.
Usually same dayA proper conversation
A call, or a coffee if you are nearby. This is mostly you deciding whether you can put up with me for fourteen hours. Ask the awkward money questions here, I would rather you did.
Within the weekBooked
Something to sign and £200, which comes off the total. After that the date is yours and I stop answering anyone else about it.
Same weekThe pre-wedding shoot
An hour or two somewhere you like, included, no extra charge. You get the awkwardness out of the way on a Tuesday instead of on your wedding day, and we sort the timings while we walk.
A few months beforeThe day itself
Morning to dancing, and nobody is watching a clock. Long enough that people forget to notice me, which is when it gets good.
The dayYour gallery and your album
A few finished photos land within 48 hours, for the Monday when it is all over and everyone feels a bit flat. The rest follow, then we build your album together and it turns up in a box you will not throw away.
48 hours, then weeksOne number. There is no second one later, and nothing worth having is behind it.
The pre-wedding shoot
An hour or two together beforehand, and a proper sit down about timings.
The whole day
Morning to the end of the night. No clock, no overtime.
1,200 or so photographs
All of them, edited, yours.
First photos in 48 hours
Enough to be going on with while everyone is still talking about it.
A 12 inch album
Made in the UK, designed with you. Thicker paper, more pages and copies for parents if you want them.
A private online gallery
Yours to download, and to send to the aunt who asks.
Up to four hours£1,000
Clips and a highlight reel£300
Confirm this figure£350
Booking is a £200 booking fee, which comes off the total. The balance is due before the day, and it can be split across the months in between.
What couples said afterwards
Real reviews · names to be addedHands down the best decision we made when wedding planning was Jack. We hit it off right away on the first video call. I will never forget the way you made us feel.Name to add · South Wales
He was always there if there was a photo we wanted, or just blended in and you hardly noticed him snapping away.Name to add · South Wales
We aren't outgoing and we don't enjoy photos. He made us feel fun and normal, and comfortable the whole time.Name to add · South Wales
I barely noticed him during the ceremony, which believe me is a good thing. He was more like one of the wedding party.A celebrant · Ogmore by Sea
One year in and we still love our wedding photos. They mean the absolute world to us.Name to add · South Wales
Our guests haven't stopped raving about him and one of my bridesmaids has booked him for her wedding.Name to add · South Wales
He was super relaxed and knew the best places to go. He was brilliant with our dog, Louie, too.Name to add · Engagement shoot
He put us both at ease from the pre-wedding shoot, and we were not exactly model material.Name to add · South Wales
The photos are absolutely perfect. We love them. Thank you for everything you did for us.Name to add · South Wales
The awkward questions
We hate having our photo taken. Is that a problem?
Everyone says this. Genuinely, everyone. Nobody enjoys being photographed by a stranger, which is the entire reason the pre-wedding shoot exists. By the wedding we have already done the awkward bit.
Do you travel outside South Wales?
Yes. Porthcawl is home and most weddings are close to it, but I will go wherever you are getting married. Anything outside Wales gets quoted at cost, before you book, so there are no surprises.
What happens if it rains?
We go out in it, briefly. Wet light is lovely and there is always a doorway. I will never make you stand in a downpour for the sake of a photograph, I promise.
How many photographs do we get?
Around 1,200 for a full day, 500 to 700 for a half. All edited, all included, no watermarks, nothing held back for later.
Are you insured?
Yes, public liability and professional indemnity. Venues usually ask, and I can send the certificates straight to yours so you do not have to chase me.
Who actually turns up on the day?
Me. You will have met me at the pre-wedding shoot, so nobody new walks through the door on the morning.
