Professional Photographer in South Wales – Weddings, Portraits & Commercial Photography
If you’re looking for a photographer in South Wales who creates bold, polished images with a cinematic edge — welcome. I’m Lloyd Richards, a professional photographer specialising in portraits, wedding photography, events, and commercial photography across Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, and beyond.
Whether you’re building a brand, celebrating a milestone, or simply want photographs that feel like you, I’ll help you create images with impact.
Photography that feels real — and looks incredible
My work blends strong lighting, confident direction, and natural emotion to create photographs that stand out. I focus on helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera, so your images feel relaxed, authentic, and professional — never awkward or overly posed.
