small wedding photographer Brecon
I am a small wedding photographer in Brecon, couples choose me when they want their wedding day to feel honest, intimate, and true to who they are. My approach is shaped by both my experience in portrait photography and my own wedding story. After nearly planning a huge wedding day that did not feel like us at all, we changed direction and were married ten years ago at Hereford registry office before celebrating back at the family small holding in Monmouth. It was relaxed, joyful, and deeply personal, and it showed me just how powerful small weddings can be. That experience guides the way I work today. I photograph small weddings, registry office ceremonies, and elopements with a calm, unobtrusive presence, offering gentle direction when needed and always focusing on capturing real connection, emotion, and the atmosphere you create together.
Began second shooting big weddings, and while it was a different experience, I learned so much about timing, people, and storytelling.
I photographed my first post-lockdown wedding and was ready to take on more couples, only to discover I was pregnant with my second, which shifted my plans!
I finally launched my wedding photography side full time, having my busiest year yet and feeling fully aligned with the couples I work with.
