MODERN, CONTEMPORARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY IN SOUTH WALES AND BEYOND

South Wales Wedding Photographer

Hey, I’m Elaine, I’m a South Wales wedding photographer based near Swansea. 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, interesting framings, and killer details comes as second nature. I adore photographing beautiful, contemporary natural weddings for modern couples.
