Engagement Photography in South Wales

Your engagement is one of those once-in-a-lifetime chapters — and it deserves to be captured in a way that feels real, relaxed, and completely you.

Whether you want a cinematic city session, a quiet countryside walk, or golden hour by the coast, I’ll help you create images that feel natural, timeless, and full of connection.

If you’re looking for an engagement photographer in South Wales (or beyond), you’re in the right place.

What to Expect From Your Engagement Session

You Don’t Need to Know How to Pose

You don’t need to perform or be “camera people”. I’ll guide you in a way that feels natural, so you can just enjoy being together.
Gentle Direction + Natural Moments

I’ll help with flattering positioning, what to do with your hands, where to look, and how to move — then I’ll capture the in-between moments that feel the most real.
A Session That Feels Fun and Easy

Think of it like a date with great light and a photographer who keeps everything relaxed. You’ll walk away with:
- Beautiful, natural photos you’ll love forever
- A comfortable experience (no awkwardness, no pressure)
- Images perfect for save-the-dates, wedding websites, and prints

A Relaxed Engagement Shoot That Feels Like You

Most couples tell me the same thing at the start:

“We’re not used to being in front of the camera…”

And that’s perfect — you don’t need to be.

My sessions are calm, guided, and fun. I’ll give you just enough direction to feel confident, but I’ll also leave space for genuine moments: laughter, movement, little looks, and the kind of connection that doesn’t need posing.

Best Locations for Engagement Photos

Your engagement session can be anywhere that feels meaningful to you — or somewhere you’ve always wanted to explore together.

Cardiff Engagement Photography

From leafy parks to city streets, Cardiff is perfect for modern, romantic sessions with variety in one shoot.
Brecon Beacons & Waterfall Country

If you want dramatic scenery, big skies, and an adventurous feel, this is always a favourite.
Coastal Engagement Sessions (Ogmore / Southerndown)

Coastal cliffs, waves, and golden sunsets — ideal for couples who want something cinematic and timeless.
UK Travel Sessions Available

If you’re planning something iconic (London, a weekend away, a meaningful place to you), I’m happy to travel.
Not sure where to go? I’m always happy to recommend locations based on the vibe you want.

Best Time of Day for Engagement Photos

For the most flattering light and the most cinematic feel, I recommend:

Golden Hour (Recommended)

The hour before sunset gives that warm, romantic glow and softer shadows.
Overcast Days = Soft, Flattering Light

Cloudy days are perfect for even skin tones and a calm, dreamy look.
Sunset & Evening City Sessions

If you love a moodier, modern feel, evening shoots work beautifully in urban locations.
If you’ve got a specific date in mind, I can help you plan around the best timing.

What to Wear for Your Engagement Shoot

You don’t need to go “full formal” unless you want to — but a little planning makes a huge difference.

Choose outfits that feel like you, but slightly elevated.

Outfit Tips That Photograph Beautifully

Neutral tones, earthy colours, and textures (knitwear, coats, linen, denim) photograph beautifully and stay timeless.

Colours & Textures That Work Best

If you’d like variety, bring a second outfit for a different look (casual + dressy works perfectly).

Quick tips:

Wear something you can move comfortably in
Avoid heavy logos and bright patterns
Bring comfortable shoes if we’ll be walking between spots
If you want, I can help you choose outfits that suit your location

Bring a Second Outfit (Optional)
