South Wales Wedding Venues
Wedding photography from venues in Cardiff, Swansea, Gower and surrounding areas.
Here are some examples of wedding photography from South Wales wedding venues. This region of Wales is loosely defined, bordered by England and Bristol Channel. About three quarters of the population of the principality lie within the area. Generally considered to include the historic county of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire. The two major cities of Cardiff and Swansea are included in this area, as well as the Brecon Beacons National Park. Here you will find classic county houses such as, Llangoed Hall, and Llansantffraed Court. Other wedding venues in South Wales include Fairyhill and Oldwalls on the Gower peninsular, Hensol Castle and Llanerch Vineyard in the Vale of Glamorgan. Also the Edwardian era gems in the capital of Cardiff City Hall and the National Museum, as well as the ultra modern Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. So if you are currently planning your wedding, and looking for a South Wales wedding photographer who can capture your day with natural and emotive imagery, please do not hesitate to get in touch. My approach to wedding photography is friendly yet unobtrusive, designed to let you enjoy your day whilst I capture the essence with an understated reportage aesthetic.
“Thank you so much for the beautiful photos of our wedding. You’ve really captured the essence of our day and made everyone look so photogenic. It seemed you must’ve been everywhere but nowhere at the same time, to capture so many sweet moments when we didn’t even know you were looking! We also really appreciated your calm and professional manner during the day, it was lovely to have you be part of our wedding, and we would not hesitate to recommend your services.”
