The whole day Wedding photography in South Wales, and anywhere else you’ve decided to get married.
Twenty minutes of photographs, and then I give you your day back.
Most of my weddings are around Porthcawl, Bridgend, Cardiff and the Vale, and I travel for the ones further out. I keep an eye on the running order all day and tell you where we’re up to, so you’re never the last to know. No two weddings run the same, so we work yours out between us beforehand.
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’ll know within the day whether I’m free.
Usually same dayA proper conversation
A call, or a coffee if you’re 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’s 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 won’t 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
A second pair of eyes all day£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
Jack was fantastic throughout the entire wedding process. The whole collection is spectacular. We are struggling to narrow down our favourite 100, let alone a top ten.Phoebe Holcombe · South Wales
He was always there if there was a photo we wanted, or just blended in and you hardly noticed him snapping away.Claire Athernought · South Wales
We aren't outgoing and we don't enjoy photos. He made us feel fun and normal, and comfortable the whole time.Owen & Zoë · 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.Eleanor Willock, celebrant · Ogmore by Sea
We wanted casual photos of our guests enjoying themselves, and that is what we got in spades.Pam Johnson · South Wales
So many of our guests said how brilliant he was. At one point my niece was having her own photoshoot with him.Lucy Spencer · South Wales
He was super relaxed and knew the best places to go. He was brilliant with our dog, Louie, too.Elle Goodridge · Engagement shoot
We had a pre-wedding shoot where Jack completely put us at ease and got us comfortable behind the camera.Aly Staley · South Wales
The photos are absolutely outstanding and captured the day perfectly. We honestly could not recommend him highly enough.Luke & Mairead · 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’ve already done the awkward bit.
Do you travel outside South Wales?
Yes. Porthcawl is home and most weddings are close to it, but I’ll go wherever you’re 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’s 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 don’t 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.
