Johnny and Betsi got married at The Parkgate hotel in Cardiff in late March 2026.

The Parkgate Hotel. Completed in 1897 to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, it was designed by the renowned architect Sir Henry Tanner. 

The very emotional ceremony with only closest family members present took place at the Telegraph room. Once the ceremony ended, everyone gathered  for group photos. After that, we took a short walk into the city centre to capture some romantic portraits of the bride and groom. And it was so busy in the city centre!

With the Cardiff  city centre closed for the big rugby matches at the stadium, Betsi and Johnny had a massive “audience” for their wedding photos. They were congratulated by fans everywhere we went! 

We embraced the crowds for some fun street shots before heading to Cardiff Castle for newlyweds portraits. And what a fantastic opportunity for photos it was. With the roads closed to traffic, the couple could stand right in the center of the street for those wide, cinematic shots under the gorgeous blue sky.

The Exchange Hotel wedding reception

Johnny and Betsi booked my half-day wedding photography package, splitting the coverage into two parts: 

1. the ceremony and the urban photoset in Cardiff 
2. evening reception at The Exchange Hotel.

And I need to say the second part was as fantastic and memorable as the first one: from after-sunset portraits at Cardiff Bay to the heartfelt speeches and a high-energy Ceilidh, every moment was a joy to capture—including a cake cutting performed with a family “grandad sword.

Eleri and Graham celebrated their stunning winter wedding at Llechwen Hall Hotel this past December. Though the weeks surrounding their big day were defined by heavy rain and local flooding, Saturday arrived as a perfect, dry oasis. It was a truly lovely day that allowed the couple to enjoy the beauty of the season without the damp, making their celebration at the Llechwen Hall even more memorable.

Eleri and Graham’s ceremony took place in the lovely Nelson Suite at Llechwen Hall. It actually felt great to be back in this particular room! Most of my recent weddings here have been hosted in the Jailhouse or the Marquee, so it was a nice change of pace to revisit this space. 

Llechwen Hall offers three wonderful ceremony options (the Nelson Suite, the Jailhouse, and the Marquee), and the Nelson Suite was the perfect choice for this couple.

After the ‘I dos,’ we moved straight into family photos and plenty of relaxed candids of the guests. We even tucked in a lovely thank-you speech from the groom! I was on hand for 2.5 hours to document the core of their day. This is a great example of how my part-day packages work—perfect for couples who want the essentials captured beautifully without needing a full 10-hour day

Choosing the right setting is key to the feel of your day. Llechwen Hall offers three wonderful options for your vows—the Nelson Suite, the Jailhouse, and the Marquee. To help you decide, here are some examples of my photography from each of these three ceremony rooms:

• Llechwen hall – photos of the ceremony at the Nelson Suite 
• Llechwen hall – photos of the ceremony at the Jailhouse

I had the pleasure of capturing Bridie and Thomas’s wedding, which took place at the Glen Yr Afon House hotel.

The Glen Yr Afon House Hotel was originally built as a house in 1868, it was acquired in 1973 and swiftly transformed into a hotel, opening the following year in 1974. It has been significantly expanded through many extensions over the subsequent years.

It was a truly lovely wedding day, with an intimate guest list of no more than 40. The ceremony was beautiful, and I captured so many photos outside under the gorgeous sunshine of a November day. Since the bride loves Christmas and wanted to get married near the holiday, the entire venue was beautifully decorated for the season. 

As darkness fell, we took advantage of the festive decor, capturing stunning evening photos of the bride and groom amidst the Christmas lights outside, followed by memorable photos with the guests and sparklers.

Rosalia and George got married in November 2025 at the Newbridge memo.

The Newbridge Memo’s history began with the 1908 Institute and 1924 Memorial Hall, honoring local servicemen and miners. Today, this thriving arts and community venue, famous for its Art Deco auditorium, also hosts weddings and is famous for its magnificent Art Deco auditorium and ballroom, where celebrated bands performed in the 1970s and 80s.

I’m quite sure Rosalia and George’s wedding featured just as much dancing as those famous band performances. The dance floor was literally never empty for hours.

My coverage began in a nearby town for the bridal preparations. Upon arriving at the venue, I photographed the groom and his family. 

After taking the ceremony and confetti shots , I captured some couple’s photos outdoors. 

We then transitioned indoors for the rest of the family and friends photos with the newlyweds as it was quite cold outside and majorly if the guests were from Mexico and noy quite to british November cold.

I had extensive experience photographing weddings at Heritage park hotel in the past, but my work eventually took me to different wedding venues in South Wales and England.  After an absence of a couple of years, I had the opportunity to return for two separate wedding bookings in 2025!

Heritage park hotel weddings

For Catrin and Dylan’s wedding, my coverage was focused: a two-hour package dedicated to the ceremony, as well as the essential family and group portraits.

The rainy November weather meant most photos were taken indoors at the hotel. Despite this, I was able to successfully capture all 120 guests from the balcony outdoors before it started raining. And also managed to get bride and groom portraits outside during breaks in the rain.

I genuinely love photographing weddings at Bryn Meadows golf club!  I recently had the pleasure of capturing Andrew and Cheryl’s beautiful celebration at this lovely wedding venue.

Andrew and Cheryl opted for my 3-hour essential coverage package, which was the perfect amount of time to focus on the most meaningful moments. We prioritized the heartfelt ceremony and followed up with some lovely family photos right after.

Benn and Deusa tied the knot on a warm, dry day in Newport. The slightly overcast skies were a photographer’s dream, providing beautiful, soft light perfect for portraits!

The coverage started with both the bride and groom getting ready at the Mercure Hotel.

We then moved to the Newport Registry Office for the heartfelt ceremony, group photos, and couple’s photos.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the Mercure Hotel, where the celebrations continued with the wedding breakfast hosted in the hotel restaurant.

The White Horse View wedding venue combines stunning views with easy accessibility. Situated right next to the historic Westbury White Horse in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, it’s only a quick drive from Westbury town centre and train station. The venue has recently undergone a complete, drastic renovation, ensuring they deliver a modern space with elegance and style for any special occasion.

Dating back to 1778, the Westbury White Horse—the oldest and largest in Wiltshire—commemorates the 878 AD Battle of Edington. This figure replaced a 16th-century version. It was covered with concrete in 1953 to ease maintenance and remains a striking landmark, regularly refreshed with white paint.

Jerry and Karen selected my 4-hour wedding photography package, giving me plenty of time to capture every key moment: the emotional ceremony, a fun session for their couple’s portraits, the heartfelt speeches, and countless spontaneous candid moments throughout the celebration.

Ocean View Windmill, located at Windmill Farm, Gower, is a lovely wedding venue capitalising on the stunning location, offering panoramic ocean views while specializing in hosting weddings, events, and accommodation.

Beth and Kieran opted for a completely bespoke Humanist ceremony, led by their wonderful celebrant Margaret.  The celebration was incredibly personal, featuring their custom love story and a memorable literal knot-tying ritual to seal their vows.

It was a beautiful day for an October wedding, but the weather certainly made an entrance! The first strong storm of autumn brought extreme wind. But through careful timing, I managed to get outside to capture all the necessary group and family shots and even secure some incredible, atmospheric couple’s portraits against the backdrop of the changing weather.

While my last visit here focused solely on the bridal preparations before the couple headed off-site, this time, I had the pleasure of capturing the entire story. Most of it

I documented the last minutes of emotional preps, the beautiful ceremony, plenty of spontaneous candids, and the intimate couple’s photos all on-site.

For couples planning a more intimate celebration, I offer completely flexible and small-scale photography packages (2, 3, 4 hours packages). It’s the perfect way to get beautiful coverage tailored exactly to your unique, low-key day.
