Cardiff Wedding Photographer
Cardiff, the capital of Wales and home to many iconic welsh landmarks including Cardiff Castle, Cardiff City Hall, Cardiff National Museum, St Fagans to name but a few. This bustling city is one of my most popular and favourite locations to photograph weddings at, with many beautiful and alternative wedding venues within and on the outskirts of this amazing city. As a popular Cardiff Wedding Photographer I have decided to create this page to help all newly engaged couples, seeking a luxurious and fun filled Cardiff wedding, begin their journey towards curating a picture perfect Cardiff Wedding.
Hiya, I’m Oliver
About your Cardiff wedding photographer
A Cardiff wedding photographer, devoted to authentically capturing the stories of modern, down-to-earth couples who truly value high-end, documentary wedding photography.
I’m a 26 year old coffee snob who enjoys nothing more than admiring watches in shop windows as I walk through the high-street, whilst also spending countless hours watching the latest sports cars on youtube.
I am blessed to share my life with my amazing partner, Lauren who without, this business wouldn’t be where it is today. We share a passion for exploring the world together, eating lots of great food and capturing our own story along the way.
My Mission – To become your best friend, second bridesmaid/best-man and to leave with you and your guests in awe of your wedding photos.

What to look for in a Cardiff Wedding Photographer?
For me this is a very simple one to answer because I put myself in my couples shoes and ask myself what I would look for in a wedding photographer.
And it boils down to these key points :
- Style – Does their photography style match your taste/personality. For me I stay true to colour and capture relaxed moments in a luxurious style. Feel free to take a closer look at my style.
- Packages – Do you want something tangible or are you looking for something more simplistic? Take a look at my packages to see what I offer my couples
- Experience – Taking photos is the easy bit, but knowing how to handle every type of situation is something you can only gain through experience. I have spent the last 8 years perfecting my craft, capturing countless weddings. There truly isn’t anything I haven’t seen.
- Me – Theres only one of me (Thank god!) but in all seriousness you need to fall in love with the personality behind the camera. You want to have endless fun and no awkwardness on your big day. So get to know me and lets see if we are a match

Frequently Asked Questions
What to ask your Cardiff Wedding Photographer
We are based in a town in Bridgend, South Wales. We do travel and love discovering new venues and meeting new people. We do implement a £150 travel fee for weddings beyond a 60 mile radius so we can cover any overnight stays we may need.
It depends on the scale of the wedding and events throughout the day. Oliver is the primary photographer for the day and will cover prep-first dance, he’s covered lots of weddings as a solo photographer and is more than capable of capturing every moment. For larger weddings, bigger venues or a fast-paced day, Lauren will likely assist on the day with lighting, bags, group shots and catching extra candid shots at speeches. You can add a second shooter if you feel you want to capture even more memories or both preps and we can advise you on this.
All day! We arrive when you tell us to arrive and we leave when you tell us to leave. Luckily we can get Coronation Street on demand so there’s no need to rush off 😉
All of our cameras have 2 card slots inside so that means your photos are constantly being backed up to a secondary card. To take that one step further, we perform backups throughout the day onto a hard drive to minimise any risks.
Yes please! Sometimes we can go 8-10 hours without food – it’s a little bit of a whirlwind of a day! We kindly ask that food is provided for our team (A maximum of 3 people if you have a second shooter). We don’t expect a three course meal at all, we just request some sandwiches or a bar meal and a soft drink/water to be made available to us so we don’t have to go off-site in search for food. We’ll take a food break when you and your guests sit down to eat and perform a photo back-up during that time. Oh and did we mention we love the evening buffet 😉
We aim to get all of your images back to you in a password protected online gallery within 5-8 weeks following your wedding day. However, we get very excited and can’t wait to edit a couple, so you will always have a sneak preview within 24 hours after your wedding.
We are indeed. You can request our documents should your venue ask to see them.
We always offer a free consultation before booking as it’s so important to make sure we’re the right match. We spend a lot of time with you on a high day in your life so you have to like us! We keep in touch on the lead up to your day and love a cuppa and a chat.
If you’re both getting ready at the same venue, yes. If you are in separate venues or want complete coverage of both preps we would advise investing in a second photographer.
We deliver a minimum of 400 photos on a typical full day. The number of photos is dependent on so many elements – type of ceremony, number of guests, how much time you want to dedicate to couple photos, seasons and whether you have added a second shooter.
