PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOGRAPHER - SOUTH WALES
Calm, Creative & Occasionally Covered in Welsh Mud
Hi, I’m H,
Looking for an event or wedding photographer who's relaxed and captures the real atmosphere of your day - without the premium price tag? You’re in the right place.
I’ve been capturing events and weddings for a numbers of years. I’ve worked with couples, businesses and charities across South Wales and beyond - filming and photographing everything from boho weddings in the Abergavenny mountains, to high-energy launch parties at The Vale Hotel and large-scale sporting events like the Cardiff Half Marathon. Always with the same goal: to tell your story in a way that feels honest, vibrant, and true to the atmosphere on the day.
My style is mostly documentary. I blend in with your crowd or wedding party, and I like to let the day unfold naturally. Nothing too posed, nothing too forced - just genuine moments with a bit of fun thrown in.
Having searched for a photographer for my own wedding (and trawled countless event photography pages too), I know how overwhelming it all can be. I’ve kept this site simple, clear, and easy to explore - so you can get a real feel for my work without the waffle.
You’ll find my photography packages are priced more affordably than most - not because I cut corners, but because I am building a career within the NHS. As photography is an additional source of income, this means I can offer competitive rates while still bringing the same passion, creativity, and attention to detail you’d expect from full-time professionals.
This doesn’t affect the time or energy I put into each project. Whether it’s a wedding or an event, I work tirelessly to deliver high-quality results with a quick turnaround. Your day will be captured and crafted with care - without the premium price tag.
Whether you're organising a conference, hosting a festival, or planning your wedding, I’d love to be there - camera in hand, ready to capture it all - for you.
Events.
Prepped and Part of the Team
What sets me apart? Before I even pick up the camera, I like to really understand the heartbeat of your event. That means chatting through the details with you ahead of time - what matters most, how the day will flow, study floor plans, timings, and find out the finer details so that when I arrive, it feels like we’ve already worked together.; already part of the team. It’s not just about turning up and taking photos - it’s about being prepared, invested, and completely on board with your vision.
Present and In the Moment
On the day, you’ll find me calm, professional, and blending in with the crowd. Whether it’s my eagle eye catching a sponsored runner at the finish line, making sure no one’s blinking in that BIG team photo, or helping sponsors feel at ease in front of the camera - I’m there for all the right moments, with just the right energy.
Supportive, Friendly, Involved
I don’t just take photos. I’ll hand electrolytes to your charity runners, grab those early morning coffees, , and if time allows, I’ll lend a hand with the pack down. I stay switched on to what’s happening, ready to photograph and help where I can. I’m not just documenting your event - I’m supporting it, and living it with you. And yes - I'm 100% a people person. I make friends quickly and bring a relaxed, upbeat energy to every shoot, because when people feel comfortable, the best photos follow.

Weddings. A documentary approach, rooted in real moments
A Natural Fit
I photograph weddings the way they unfold - real, unscripted, and full of feeling (you may even catch my happy tears). My relaxed, documentary-led approach means you can enjoy every moment without thinking about the camera. I’m drawn to the quiet in-between glances, the belly laughs, and all the little things that tell your story.
Prepped, Present, and Part of the Day
Before your big day, I take the time to get to know you - how you met, what makes you laugh, what you're most excited about and your key guests. I’ll check in with your wedding planner for the schedule, visit the venue in advance, and always come prepared with a solid Plan B in case the weather turns (plus a few tricks if it does). On the day, I’m more than just your photographer - I blend in as a friendly, familiar face. I’ll work alongside your wedding team, help guests feel at ease, and stay tuned in to everything happening around me - ready to step in, lend a hand, and catch a moment before it even happens.
Keeping It Comfortable - And Going the Extra Mile
Most couples tell me they’re “not photogenic” - I hear it all the time. My job is to help you feel comfortable and completely yourselves. No stiff poses, just a bit of gentle direction, good conversation, and space to be you. After the day, you’ll receive a beautifully edited online gallery - perfect for ordering prints and easy to share with family and friends. And just because the wedding’s over doesn’t mean I disappear. I’ll check in from time to time, and be there when your next milestone rolls around.
Your wedding isn’t just an event - it’s a story. And I’d love to help you tell it.
