MODERN, CONTEMPORARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN WEST WALES AND BEYOND

South & West Wales Wedding Photographer

Hey, I’m Elaine, I’m a South & West Wales wedding photographer, travelling throughout Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Ceridigion and beyond. I work with couples who want their day captured honestly and authentically. The quiet moments and the chaotic ones, the tears and the laughter, wild oversized bouquets and wilder confetti throws.

Capturing unposed moments as they happen, paired with details that matter to you.

Your wedding is unique so I don’t work from a shot list, instead, my approach is unobtrusive, photographing unposed moments as they happen, paired with details that matter to you. I’m drawn to smiles and laughter, gasp-worthy bouquets, beautiful table decor, and colourful confetti throws. As an architect-turned-photographer, seeking out beautiful light, geometric framings, and thoughtful details comes as second nature. I adore photographing beautiful, contemporary natural weddings for modern couples.

Over the last 7 years working as a South & West Wales wedding photographer I’ve had the honour of photographing relaxed, modern wedding celebrations in a variety of venues throughout Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Ceridigion and Cardiff. From small modern weddings at private residence Waterwynch House, Tenby, to Stylish Weddings at Plas Dinam Country House in mid Wales, and Rustic Barn Weddings at Rosedew Farm in Lantwit Major, it’s been such a joy to share in my couples days.
