wait, why book me?

Your wedding will go by in the blink of an eye. One minute you’ll be getting ready in the morning, the calm before the rush. You’ll think that time is moving in its usual way.

Before you know it you’ll be waiting for the opening bars of your first dance, wondering how did we get here so fast?

“As soon as we met John we knew we’d made the right decision. He was very calm and put us at ease. On the day he just blended into the background and didn’t get in the way at all. The photos we ended up with were fantastic and captured the day perfectly.“

Its my job to ensure you have the day to look back on, each moment in time preserved forever, moments you remember, and those you missed completely.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes! I can travel all over the UK, Europe and the Rest Of the World.

Your photos are delivered via your own personal online gallery where they are available in high resolution, shareable with your friends and family and on all devices. Previews are 48hrs after your wedding and full galleries within 12 weeks.

I generally start around 2/3 hours before the ceremony and continue until after your first dance/bands first set. I believe in telling the full story of your day, without time limits.

Yes, absolutely. I keep these relaxed and efficient so you can get back to enjoying your wedding quickly.

For a full day wedding, you will receive a minimum of 700 images, usually lots more. For a Part Day (5 Hour) wedding, anything from 400 upwards.

Initially there is a booking payment/retainer of £300. Your remaining balance is then due one month before the date of your wedding. If you would like to spread that into a few payments, just let me know and we can set that up easily. Card payment is also available.

Personally, I believe that you can only really do one at a time and do it well, so I only offer photography. However I often work with lots of great videographers in South Wales and would be happy to recommend some to you.
