Real Life Storytelling Wedding Photography

If you’re planning the type of wedding day that feels as much as you as possible and you want to fully immerse yourself in what’s happening on the day and not feel like you’re a performer – I’m guessing that…

…posed or staged wedding photographs just aren’t for you.

“The photos are incredibly beautiful and such a special reminder of our day! As two people who aren’t always comfortable in front of a camera, Babs made the whole day so relaxed and easy and captured some really special memories for us. I never imagined we’d get this kind of photos!”

“Thanks so much for yesterday, you captured the day perfectly! The photos are amazing!”

I believe it’s a big misconception that you need to miss a big chunk of your wedding day “to take photos”. And I also don’t think your wedding day is ruined because one of your bridesmaids went to the loo while everybody lined up for forced smiles ;)

You’ll receive previews from your wedding the very next day because in this day and age – why should you wait a week?

If you’re a couple thinking you’d probably feel awkward in front of the camera – whatever you do or don’t do is enough for me. You will experience so many different feelings and emotions on your wedding day and I will be right beside you to capture the real you; you are not a performer who needs prompting so that your pictures look identical to other couples’ photos – you do you.

“She wasn’t pushy, she didn’t make everyone pose – everything was natural and candid, just as we wanted it to be. She was friendly and chatty with my friends and family – they couldn’t speak more highly of her and she’s often an extremely positive talking point of the success of our day.”

Most of my couples say I’m easy to get on with, down-to-earth, and flexible and that they didn’t even know I was taking the shots they love best. Telling couples what to do on their wedding day is definitely not my thing; I like to photograph people and weddings just as they are right in front of me in a story-telling way without any expectations and in just the way things happen naturally.

Romantic Wedding Photography in Wales

I am super passionate about photographing your wedding day story a bit like a romantic version of a real-life documentary with emotional and honest wedding pictures shot mainly digitally, with a few extras on 35mm film (included in package).

“As soon as I found Babs on Instagram, I knew that she had to be a part of our day. The natural, candid, genuine moments she has captured throughout our day are memories I will cherish forever.”

My approach to super relaxed wedding photography in Wales is pretty straight foward.

No need to worry about being anything but yourself (with all your quirks, flaws & insecurities), feeling awkward, forcing smiles or weirdly posing for photos, that’s a promise.

Just be yourself and enjoy your wedding day.

“The photos we received from both the wedding day and adventure shoot were absolutely beautiful, words cannot describe how grateful we are for her work. They are so magical, inventive, creative and captured our wedding day perfectly. 100% recommend!”
