EVENT
PHOTOGRAPHER
SOUTH WALES
Natural Candid
Real
As well as spending the last decade capturing weddings and events, I've also planned and hosted public-sector events and press tours. This has given me a unique perspective and the ability to deliver a collection of photographs that perfectly represent the atmosphere of your event.

My goal is to provide you with images which you can't wait to use for celebrating your event, and then promoting any future events too!
Event Photographer South Wales
My experience has taught me to be adaptive and highly aware of changing moments during the day, so if something changes I will know exactly what to do and how to capture it.
Your Event Photographer
My role is simple - capture exactly what happens in a natural, candid way. I do this by blending in with your guests to capture the real moments of connection and networking, whilst also maintaining a professional presence for guiding any special guests during structured photo opportunity moments.

Planning Meeting
Before your event, we'll meet virtually to discuss your vision, the desired outcomes, and the logistics.
At the Event
We'll arrive before the event to prepare equipment, familiarise ourselves with the location and layout, and run through the plan for the event. Throughout the event, we'll maintain an open line of communication with you (or an allocated liaison) to make sure we are running on schedule and can foresee any surprise elements that need to be captured.
What you Receive
Once the edit is completed, you'll receive a download link containing all of your images as high quality jpeg files, ready to go on your intranet or into a shared folder. We also offer a fast turnaround for post-event social media campaigns.
In the pre-shoot planning meeting, we’ll discuss when you’ll need your photographs by. Usually my edit turnaround is quite fast depending on the size of the photoshoot and the amount of images.
Do you edit the photographs?
Yes, I provide a basic edit for quality and consistency, whilst also removing anything that would affect the final image. I don’t retouch or alter physical appearance unless it is specifically requested.
How do we receive the images?
Once the photographs are ready, I’ll send you a download link where you can download all of the photographs.
What locations do you work?
I’m based in Cowbridge (Cardiff area), but travel all over Wales and the UK.
What if it rains on the shoot day?
Leading up to your photoshoot, I’ll be checking the weather forecast and if there is a high chance of rain, and your photoshoot is outside, I will discuss rescheduling if possible. If a reschedule isn’t possible, I work with you to either create a flexible schedule where we can use the dry parts of the day for the outdoor photoshoot, or we relocate and find great locations inside. For photoshoots, I usually have a full lighting kit ready to go if needed.
What precautions do you take for things going wrong?
In a previous career, I briefly trained in disaster management, and that set the precedent for ensuring that I am always prepared for the worst. I always carry backup equipment, have extra storage media, backup all files in multiple locations, and also have a list of trusted photographers and camera operators should the worst happen.
Do you charge for travel?
I charge 45p per mile for travel from Cowbridge, this is included in the price. For shoots further than 2 hours drive from Cowbridge/Cardiff area, I may require accommodation and other related expenses if the distance is much further.
Do you work alone or as part of a team?
It depends on the shoot. For most headshot, portrait, or product shoots, I work alone. For larger events, video production shoots, or aerial operations, I work with a few trusted photographers and camera operators.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, Private Indemnity and Public Liability.
What is your approach/style?
My role is simple, capture what happens, when it happens, how it happens. I do this by blending into the background for the candid shots, but also not being afraid to get into the action to capture the great moments that reflect the spirit of the event or project.
