Cardiff Wedding Photographer

Your wedding day should feel natural, relaxed, and completely yours — and your photos should reflect that. I capture genuine moments as they happen, from the big emotional moments to the small in-between reactions that often become the most meaningful memories later on.

Based in South Wales, I photograph weddings across Cardiff and beyond, creating timeless images that tell the real story of your day without awkward posing or forced moments.

Whether you're planning a city wedding in Cardiff, a countryside venue in South Wales, or an intimate celebration with close family and friends, my approach stays the same — laid back, professional, and focused on capturing authentic moments you’ll want to relive for years to come.

Natural Wedding Photography Across Cardiff & South Wales

Every wedding is different, which is why I focus on documenting your day as it naturally unfolds. From the excitement of getting ready in the morning through to the dance floor later in the evening, I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where you can simply enjoy the day together.

I work with couples who want:

Natural, candid photography
Relaxed couple portraits without awkward posing
Genuine emotion and storytelling
A calm and friendly photographer presence
Timeless editing that won’t go out of style

Cardiff Wedding Photographer

Cardiff offers some incredible wedding venues, from elegant city centre locations to beautiful historic buildings and modern venues across the area. Having experience photographing throughout South Wales means I understand how to work quickly with changing weather, different lighting conditions, and fast-moving wedding days while keeping everything stress free.

Whether you're getting married in Cardiff Bay, the city centre, or further across South Wales, I’ll help capture the atmosphere, emotion, and details that make your wedding unique.

Relaxed Couple Portraits

Not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera — and honestly, most couples tell me that before their wedding day. My approach is simple: no stiff posing, no pressure, and no turning your wedding into a photoshoot.

Instead, I focus on natural interaction and real connection, creating relaxed portraits that feel genuine to you as a couple.

“Lloyd did our Wedding photographs for us at Manor by the Lake and we couldn't be happier with them! He arranged to meet us 6 weeks before the day at the venue to go through all the details and to help put our minds at ease knowing he knew exactly what we wanted! On the day, he knew where to be and what to do. Lloyd's photos are amazing and I am so happy we will always have such happy memories to look back on! - Thank you, Lloyd!”

Let’s Tell Your Story

Your wedding photographs should feel personal, emotional, and real — not overly staged or artificial. My goal is to create images that bring you straight back to the feeling of the day every time you look at them.

FAQs

Wedding photography prices vary depending on the length of coverage and what is included. My full-day wedding photography packages start from £995, covering your wedding from the preparations through to the evening celebrations. Shorter coverage is also available for smaller weddings and ceremonies.
For full-day weddings, I usually start around 2–3 hours before the ceremony to photograph the preparations and continue through the ceremony, family photographs, couple portraits, speeches, cake cutting and first dance. I normally stay for around 30 minutes after the first dance, although additional coverage can be arranged if required.
The number of photographs varies depending on the length of your wedding, number of guests and what happens throughout the day. Rather than limiting you to a set number, I provide a carefully selected and professionally edited collection that tells the full story of your wedding.
Your wedding photographs are carefully selected and individually edited before being delivered through your private online gallery. Full wedding galleries are normally delivered within approximately 4–6 weeks, although this can vary slightly during the busiest parts of wedding season.
Yes. I photograph everything from large full-day weddings to small weddings, elopements and registry office ceremonies. Shorter photography packages are available if you only need coverage of the ceremony, family photographs and some relaxed couple portraits afterwards.
Rain doesn't mean you can't have great wedding photographs. I'll work around the weather throughout the day, making use of indoor locations, covered areas and any breaks in the rain. If you're happy to venture outside, umbrellas and a little rain can also make for some fantastic photographs.
Yes. Although I regularly photograph weddings in Cardiff and across South Wales, I am happy to travel throughout Wales and further afield. Depending on the location, additional travel or accommodation costs may apply, and these will always be discussed before you book.
Absolutely. You don't have to decide on an album when you initially book your wedding photography. Professionally designed wedding albums can be added after your wedding, once you've received your photographs and had time to choose your favourites.
