Natural documentary photography that lets you stay present in your day, while I preserve those little moments.
Timeless Photography
I don't just photograph weddings, I capture moments in time. I can bring my love of the art of photography to your day, alongside my wealth of experience in the photographic medium across both analogue film and digital. It's a marriage of art and science.
Digital Photography
I offer full wedding coverage on modern, high-end digital equipment. This allows me to shoot in low-light situations without flash, and often in near-silence — perfect for those who want to stay in the moment. I offer the same neurodivergency-friendly service as in my event work. I bring my wide array of experience in action photography to your reception, seeking out those great candid shots.
Monochrome Film Photography
Black and white is forever. No digital conversion can capture the feeling of properly handled monochromatic film. I repair my own cameras, process my own film, and make my own enlargement prints. Nothing else comes close to this timeless elegance.
Pricing and Packages
Weddings are expensive; I try not to be. My offering is simple and easy to understand:
£650 per half-day, plus materials
Half-day rates
I bill by the half-day. Hire me for just the ceremony, just the reception, or everything. I consider a half-day to be up to 5 hours including travel to the venue.
Material costs
Materials are charged extra. For digital photography, this is negligible. For analogue film, I estimate around £100 extra per hour.
Editing
Standard editing costs are included in the price. Additional edits are charged at an hourly rate of £50.
Prints
Standard prints are self-service and charged extra per print. Hand-made enlargement prints are also available on enquiry for analogue shoots.
Backup/additional
I can bring a second photographer to shoot either additional angles or digital backups if I'm shooting analogue. £400 extra per half-day. I pay my seconds the same as I'd pay myself, minus editing (which I handle).
Travel
Travel within 30 minutes of Cardiff is included in the price. For events further afield, half-days are unlikely to be available due to the additional time spent travelling, and fuel/accommodation is billed additionally.
Food/drinks
I don't require food arrangements from your catering, I can bring my own. Drinks are, however, appreciated.
Delivery
I aim to deliver finished photographs within 2-4 weeks, depending on volume and medium.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you meet couples before the wedding?
Yes I am available to meet over a coffee or on a video call before the day, though I'm also happy to coordinate everything via email if you prefer. We can discuss the venues, schedule, and what you want out of your wedding photographs.
How do you help people who feel awkward in front of the camera?
I photograph a wide variety of people, including many who are uncomfortable in front of a camera. I bring my experience of unobtrusive street and documentary photography to your event, and I operate quietly without flashguns to help me fade into the background. I'm not the loud type of photographer barking instructions to groups of people - I work around you.
What is your photography style?
I have a wide array of experience across various photographic disciplines, and I can adapt my style to different situations. However I primarily operate in a documentary-style approach, trying to capture those real, fleeting moments. We can arrange posed and group photos if you want them, or skip them entirely if that's not your sort of thing.
What happens if you are ill on the wedding day?
In the very unlikely event this should happen, and it hasn't happened yet, I will endeavour to arrange another trusted professional photographer to cover the day. As someone who repairs and sells cameras in Cardiff, I have a wide variety of contacts I can call on if needed, but it would have to be a very serious illness or injury to stop me from covering it myself.
Do you offer wedding videography?
I don't currently offer wedding videography as a standalone service. My focus on the day is photography, so you get my full attention.
