If you’ve found the person you want beside you for the rest of your life, and you imagine your wedding day unfolding in a Welsh landscape that means something to you both, photographed with the same tenderness you share, you’ll feel at home here.

Hi there, I’m Babs – a wedding photographer based in North Wales, documenting weddings of every size across Wales in a way that feels natural, unposed, and deeply atmospheric. My work is about capturing how the day felt: the pull of the landscape, the softness in between moments, the way your connection shows up when no one is asking you to perform.

Whether you’re celebrating with all your favourite people or keeping things small and slow, this page reflects the way I photograph weddings in Wales: very natural, and centred around the emotions that will stay with you.

Wedding Photography Across North Wales

I adore weddings in Wales – the big celebrations, the stripped-back ones, and everything in between. I’m deeply rooted here, and there’s nothing I love more than helping couples find the kind of Welsh landscape that feels right for them. Whether it’s a quiet corner of Eryri, a stretch of coastline on the Llŷn, or a hidden spot on Anglesey with the weather rolling in, it all holds its own kind of magic. Wales has some of the most beautifully rugged places and charming venues to get married, and when couples choose to slip away into them to say their vows, it genuinely means the world to photograph.

Think you may need a venue for your wedding or elopement in Wales?

My approach: photography that feels like the day itself

I work in a calm, emotion-led way – gently, quietly, always tuned into how the day feels for you both.

Natural, Unposed, Present

No big camera interruptions when something real is unfolding.
No forced poses when you’re caught up in the wildness of the moment.
No turning your wedding into a staged photoshoot.

Guided Only When Needed

I’m here to photograph a wedding day that feels undeniably you – with honesty, care and an eye for the moments you’ll want to hold onto years from now.

Deeply Atmosphere-Led

My style sits somewhere between natural and artful storytelling – I’m drawn to the mood of a place; weather, light, movement, scale. Your photos aren’t just about how things looked; they’re about the atmosphere you were living in.

Weddings of every size

Many of my couples are drawn to quieter celebrations – weddings in Wales with smaller guest lists, meaningful locations, and a slower, more intentional feel. But I photograph weddings of every size across North Wales and the rest of Wales. Whether it’s a full-day celebration or something more intimate, my focus is always on the atmosphere, the landscape, and the emotions that shape your day.

Full-Day Weddings in North Wales

From the quiet of the morning to the final moments after dark, I document the full arc of your wedding day. Natural, unposed storytelling that reflects the feeling of getting married in the landscapes of Wales.

Small & Micro Weddings in Wales

Small weddings often carry a certain closeness – space to breathe, time to take it all in, and moments that unfold naturally. These intimate celebrations fit beautifully within the wild, atmospheric settings of North Wales.

Two-Person Wales Elopements

Just the two of you, standing together in a landscape that means something to you. Slow, quiet, and entirely your own. Elopements in Wales hold a kind of simplicity and emotion that sits right at the heart of my work.

What Matters Most

Not the size of the wedding – but the feeling behind it, and how the landscape and atmosphere of Wales hold your day.
