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.
Second time lucky. Worth the wait!

Last weekend I had the lovely task of capturing the small, but perfectly formed, wedding of Connie and Daniel. Luck had not been on their side in the preparation of this wedding; unfortunately their planned wedding date had to be postponed because of the snow.
The day of the wedding (round two) finally arrived and the groom, Daniel, was nervously...

One birthday two cakes!

Last weekend I got to do another of my favourite shoots: the cake smash. Is it messy? Yes, a bit! But that's what makes it so much fun. Lucas was doubly lucky though. Not only did he have the cake that I make, his mum made one too!
I shoot lots of different genres of photography but cake smash is my favourite. It's fast paced, and fun and messy an...

I was commissioned to incorporate the values that the school teach and live by. The school values are a focus each half term and include: forgiveness, respect, friendship, compassion, honesty and creativity. The school is v...

Last week I had the pleasure of returning to the lovely Dotty's Place for a mini photo shoot. As usual the welcome was warm and the atmosphere fun. This shoot was very busy and I met 35 families. I have now completed the huge editing task and wanted to share some of my favourites with you. The children I met were delightful and were all perfect mod...

We decided to start off by taking some fun pictures with balloons and presents we also took some shots without the birthday props so mum and dad will loads of different shots fro...

Double trouble or twice the love?

It was my delight, yesterday, to meet the beautiful twins Aurora and Theo. Despite being a month old, the two were still very tiny and sleepy. They came to the studio on the day they were due to be born and it was lovely to work with such a beautiful pair. Like most newborns, they didn't make life easy; they wanted to have cuddles but didn't really...

The little boy who loves to cwtch

On Monday I met the beautiful Issac and his parents. Issac was just nine days old and spent a good bit of the time sleeping. We had a chat about the shots that I was hoping to take and then set to work, though when you are working with babies as beautiful as this one you can hardly call it work.
Issac is a cuddly baby and loves being held by his...

A little girl who was too inquisitive to sleep!

I love shooting newborns and Tuesday did not disappoint; I had the pleasure of meeting little Bella. She lived up to her name, I'm sure you will agree she is a beautiful baby. She didn't make my life easy though. Her mum, Sarah, assured me that Bella usually sleeps all day and is awake during the night. While this may not be ideal for her parents,...

It was a cold day but we wrapped up warm and were lucky enough to catch some golden light in Ynysangharad Park. We had fun in a some of my favourite spots and also climbed a few trees. I know...

Between Christmas and the new year I had the pleasure of meeting up with Emma (a friend I made in primary school) and her whole family. Thanks to Facebook we have kept in touch but we have not seen each other for years. Well, the family of six has grown a lot since I last saw them and they decided that it was time to get together for a photo shoot.

Dwindling autumn leaves

A short while ago I met the Evans family and had a lovely time in the leaves in Ynysangharad Park. There was possibly a few days of autumn left before winter set in. The light was once again beautiful and the golden evening sun set the leaves alight with yellows, reds and golds. My favourite spots to shoot did not disappoint but I knew that this wa...

Late this afternoon I met the Francis family. It was the last shoot on what has been a busy weekend. The sun was setting behind the trees of Ynysangharad Park and the light was beautiful but the soft golden light does not wait for anyone, least of all photographers, so we had to work quickly. On our wander around the park we found a log bathed in a...

This afternoon I met the beautiful Neaveh. When she arrived at the park Neaveh was sleeping; I was not a little concerned about waking her up. We took a few beautiful sleeping shots in the pram before throwing caution to the wind and waking her. I needn't have been concerned, Neaveh was an absolute joy; she was in fact the perfect model. Neaveh tre...

Yesterday I met a lovely family and photographed the five children. They aged from two to twenty years and we wanted to get some photos of the whole family as well as some sibling and individual portraits. I really enjoyed working with the family; they had travelled a bit to meet me at Ynysanghard Park. I hope you thought it was worth the trip and...

Something a little different

Today saw me taking on something slightly different to my usual line of work. I have been shooting head shots for an actor to use on his spotlight profile. We decided to do a mix of black and white and colour shots. We also wanted to have a mix of locations so did some urban and rural shots as well as the standard studio shots. I've already shown p...
