Wedding Photographer in North Wales & UK Elopement Photographer

We were born to be, wild and free.

Six years ago, I received an email from a couple who dreamed of something different. They wanted something just for them and in the wild, and photos from an adventure in Wales on their wedding day. That email sparked my passion for unconventional, outdoorsy weddings and elopements and since that day I’ve made it my mission to photograph more couples just like them in the wild having an (often small and intentional) wedding day that’s unapologetically and authentically YOU.

Whether it’s just the two of you, with your dog(s) and/or kid(s), or a small wedding day with just a handful or so of your closest friends & family – I photograph simple, scenic and deeply personal small weddings and can help you have a stress-free elopement wedding in Wales – as adventurous and wild as you like, set against the breathtaking beauty of the Welsh landscape.

Hi, I’m Babs, super relaxed wedding & elopement photographer based near the Clwydian Range with my husband Rich and 3 lovable but borderline feral collies. We love to travel in the campervan that he’s converted and often explore the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) and coastlines of the Llyn Peninsula. When I’m not taking photos I’m usually trying to keep up with the dogs (seriously, it’s a workout!). Life with them is never boring, and their endless energy is my daily reminder to keep exploring and embracing the unexpected.

“It was so much fun climbing a mountain in our wedding attire and the pictures are out of this world!!! Our wedding day was full of love, smiles, and laughter (the way it should be!) and Babs captured it perfectly. And so many friends and family have said that our photos are the best wedding photos that they have ever seen.”

“I didn’t know the area, or even where to start with registry offices etc. She gave me loads of advice and recommendations, and made all the planning a lot more stress free, she was flexible when we had to change dates and even got some photos back to us the same day (they were incredible).”

“No awkward posing! We had great fun and each smile was genuine.”

“Not even sure where to start – the photos are so dreamy, dramatic & stunning. I’m not sure if this will make sense….but they LOOK how it FELT to be stood on a mountain kissing my wife, just magic! We treasure the memories of our adventure that day just as much as the photos, it was a beautiful time with my new wife and a spectacular adventure – even when it was pouring with rain!”

“She has such a friendly and calming presence, not once did we feel like we had a stranger with us, or a photographer making us feel awkward. She was just amazing!”

Eloping or getting married in Wales will be the best thing you’ll ever do.

Beyond weddings & elopements, I capture symbolic ceremonies, vow renewals, and adventure sessions in Eryri (Snowdonia). Perfect for celebrating an engagement, anniversary, post-wedding adventure, or a surprise proposal, whether you’re local or traveling from afar.
