I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Pontypridd, South Wales. In my blog I will share what I have been working on and post sneaky peeks into wedding and event shoots.
A shoot with a family who share my name

On Saturday I met up with the Rose family; we couldn't find a family connection but there could be a distant link. I had spent the rest of the day shooting with girls so it was a nice change to have a couple of adventurous boys to shoot. We decided to substitute leaf throwing shots with tree climbing shots and had a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy you...

On Saturday I met the most adorable little girl and we had a walk through the leaves in the park. When I uploaded the photos to my computer I was so pleased with the results. She was a joy to shoot and was a natural in front of the camera. The results speak for themselves and she reminds me of the little girl from the story. I hope you like this li...

On Friday I met the Thompson family; we wanted to capture a few pictures of the whole family and then focus on the two beautiful girls. The leaves glowed in the autumn morning sunshine and the colours perfectly complimented the girls' stunning hair colour. I'm sure you will agree that autumn is the season that these girls were made for. I hope you...

I had a busy day of shooting on Saturday and it began in the morning with the delightful Caswell family. We met at Ynysangharad Park and had lots of fun playing in the leaves. Zara was very enthusiastic and enjoyed having her picture taken - as long as the rest of the family didn't steal the limelight! Thankfully I did manage to get one or two shot...

Photo Shoot with a Reluctant Daughter
October 29, 2017

It's half term and I've realised that I have been so busy photographing other families that I had neglected my own. My daughter is not the most patient of models; she hates having her photograph taken and only really agrees when the green eyed monster realises that I have more pictures of other children than I do of her. I managed to catch her in a...

What a lovely way to begin the half term holiday! The colours in Ynysangharad Park are still beautiful and the early evening sunshine was perfect to make the leaves glow. I met Danielle and her three girls and we took a little stroll through the park. Once we had found a dog free zone the girls relaxed and we had fun in the leaves taking some beaut...

Yesterday I had the honour of photographing the beautiful wedding of Catherine Ashman to Richard Owen. The celebration began in Llantrisant Parish Church. The autumn sun shone and the colours in the leaves beautifully complimented the orange details in the floral arrangements, designed and created by the bride's mum! Following the personal service,...

An Evening in the Park

There is nothing quite like the autumn evening sunshine but his shoot did not start very promisingly. It was raining and dark, then a rainbow made a fleeting appearance; so fleeting, in fact, that we couldn't quite get it into a shot before it disappeared into the clouds. On the hunt for some light, and shelter from the rain, we headed towards the...

I had the pleasure or attending Oscar's christening today. The church was full of friends and family, all wanting to celebrate this very special day with Oscar and his parents. Oscar was a model baby, there were no tears or grumbles throughout the service. I love the way the light falls on his face in these pictures, he looks like a little angel an...

This morning the Davis family and I decided to catch the early morning light in Ynysangharad Park. It was a pleasure to meet such a lovely, happy family. We threw some leaves and wandered around the park, stopping off at the Evan James and James James memorial, the sunken garden and the bandstand. I am really please with the way these autumn shots...

Yesterday evening found me on Pontypridd common with the Morgan family. We had lots of fun sword fighting with umbrellas and jumping around on the rocking stone. I was hoping for a bit more sunshine but the rain held off until the end of the shoot and we got some lovely pictures. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

My favourite part of my job is meeting new people and delivering images that make them smile. I love being given the privilege of attending weddings and helping to capture memories that, hopefully, last a lifetime. Taking pictures of families and happy events excites me. I look forward to shooting in theatres as well as out on location. This week,...
