As I head into my 19th year as a wedding photographer I wanted to put together a personal manifesto of my work and what's important to me going ahead... I consider my images to be a blend of candid & staged photography, but as time goes on I find myself increasingly drawn to towards the former while keeping staged images as natural as possible....

What more could any bride & groom want than their own private castle overlooking the sea in Pembrokeshire? Manorbier Castle offers just that, 3 days of exclusive use of the castle and its accommodation, plus a spectacular 12th century vaulted chapel for the ceremony. Despite it's incredibly grand setting I always find weddings at Manorbier Castl...

As a wedding venue Monkhaven Manor stands out as one of the most beautiful in Pembrokeshire. Not only are it's own grounds beautifully maintained and picturesque, sitting a sheltered valley near St Ishmaels, but it also has a stunning medieval church next door and in the other direction the beach is only a short walk away! James & Willows weddin...

If you want the blueprint on how to throw an all out sensational wedding party then look no further! George and Jessie, two absolute legends in their own right, created a day which which was spectacular & wildly entertaining yet also emotional, tender & heartfelt. The photos speak for themselves...all 500+ that I delivered for them, needless to sa...

Jon & Lowri closed out 2024 in effortlessly elegant style, celebrating their New Years Eve wedding at the ever charming Gellifawr in the Preseli hills, Pembrokeshire. Every detail oozed class, but the absolute show stopper was Lowri's bespoke Stephanie Allin silk backless gown, stunning but very brave for winter! (sometimes you have to suffer fo...

Tucked away in a secret little cove is this little gem of a wedding venue, Waterwynch house. With it's own private beach and lawn terrace over looking the sea it's the perfect place to get married for those with a love for the ocean. Things didn't exactly go without a hitch for Matt & Erin though. Just as Erin was in the final stages of getting...

A question I get asked a lot is... What happens if it rains on my wedding day? Will it affect the photography? And the short answer is yes, but it doesn't have to be in a negative way. Of course if the weather is too bad to stand outside then we are going to spend less time out of there, but there are still lots of fantastic opportunities for gr...

I don't need as second invite to shoot a wedding at Manorbier Castle, it's an absolute beauty of a venue just 6 miles from my house! Korey, Rebecca & their guests travelled a fair bit further for their wedding day though as they're currently living in Florida, with friends & family from Australia as well all over the UK. The big distances travelled...

Maybe I'm biased, but I think the patch of land south of Pembroke towards the sea is one of the beautiful places in the world, so I was very excited to book Will & Laura's wedding at Stackpole Church and Stackpole Walled Gardens. This mid summer wedding was perfectly styled, complementing a great looking bridal party and the incredible scenery that...

It's hard to think of a more idyllic setting than Monk Haven Manor. As if it's beautiful grounds and surrounding woodland weren't enough on their own, there is also a picture perfect medieval church and secluded beach right next door. It's a wedding photographers dream. On this day I had the pleasure of the company of Natasha & Martin (& Maggie,...

A little glimpse into Aroon & Holly's intimate late afternoon ceremony at The Grove, Narberth in Pembrokeshire. Breaking with tradition, Holly & Aroon arrived together for their wedding blessing in the immaculate springtime grounds of The Grove hotel. The whole event had an incredibly relaxed feel, with outdoor speeches, games of cricket and Holly'...

When Gareth & Chris planned their mid October wedding at Waterwynch House (https://waterwynch.com/) I doubt an outdoor ceremony was on their minds, but 2 hours before their ceremony was due to start the last minute decision was made! Thanks to the expert work of Vanessa the wedding planner (TogetherNess Weddings) and a few helpful guests the entire...

Around 2 days before a wedding I sometimes get a message from Sally White of White Bride excitedly telling me I'm photographing one of her brides this weekend and how amazing she looks. It's always a good sign, because her clients are always impeccably dressed with perfectly styled weddings and this one was no exception. Combine this with a stunnin...

Sarah & Paul's wedding day stands out with it's unique styling, impeccable attention to detail and musical entertainment. From bagpipes on entrance, male voice choir in the church, rockabilly band in the early part of the reception and an all out party band in the night, there wasn't a moment the day was without a soundtrack. Even the table names w...

What treat to be invited out to Italy to capture Sharnie & Sonny's special day at Villa Teloni. The promise of bathing in East coast Italian sun didn't quite come to fruition, with monsoon-like rain storms throughout the day. Thankfully the rain held back at key moments, meaning they could have their dream ceremony outdoors, overlooking the nearby...
