Cardiff Event Photographer
Professional photography for conferences, awards ceremonies, corporate functions, launches, live events and private celebrations across Cardiff and South Wales.
Professional Event Photography in Cardiff
A successful event moves quickly. Important moments, reactions and interactions can happen within seconds, so you need a photographer who can work confidently without disrupting the occasion.
I provide professional event photography throughout Cardiff and South Wales, documenting the people, atmosphere and details that tell the complete story of your event.
Alongside the essential photographs—speakers, presentations, winners and group photographs—I look for the natural conversations, reactions and smaller moments that bring the occasion to life.
The result is a varied collection of professionally edited images that can support your marketing, communications, PR and future events.

Event Photography at Cardiff Venues
I’ve photographed assignments at recognised Cardiff venues including Principality Stadium, Cardiff City Stadium and Cardiff Marriott Hotel.
My experience includes awards ceremonies, conferences, hospitality assignments, comic conventions and corporate occasions. I’m comfortable working in busy venues, adapting to changing lighting and photographing around guests without interrupting the event.
Before the booking, we’ll discuss your schedule, venue, important people, presentations, branding and any photographs your marketing or communications team specifically requires.
If I haven’t worked at your venue before, that isn’t a problem. I’ll review the location and practical requirements before the event.

Titan Wales Comic Con 2026
I worked as one of the official photographers at Titan Wales Comic Con 2026 at Cardiff City Stadium.
The event brought together special guests, cosplayers, traders, iconic film and television vehicles and fans from across Wales. My photography documented the scale and atmosphere of the convention alongside character portraits, guest appearances and the smaller interactions happening throughout the day.
Orbis Awards 2026
I returned to photograph the Orbis Awards for a second consecutive year, with the 2026 celebration taking place at Cardiff Marriott Hotel.
Coverage included guests arriving and socialising, branded details, speakers, award presentations, winners, group photographs and the reactions and celebrations throughout the evening.
Being invited back provided valuable continuity while allowing me to create a fresh collection reflecting the venue and people involved in the 2026 event.
