Wedding Photographers in Wales

Mountain light, long sandy beaches and centuries-old castles are reasons many couples choose Wales, and its photographers know how to make the most of them. Eryri (Snowdonia), the Gower, the Pembrokeshire Coast and Bannau Brycheiniog all offer dramatic settings within reach of many venues.

Working with the weather

The Welsh weather is changeable, especially in the mountains and on the west coast. Rain and low cloud can arrive quickly, but they also produce moody, atmospheric images. A good photographer will scout sheltered spots at your venue and keep an eye on the forecast on the day.

Beach and mountain portraits

If you would like portraits on a beach, ask your photographer about tide times as well as sunset, since some beaches shrink considerably at high tide. Mountain locations may mean a walk, so think about footwear and timing.

Before you book

Ask how far the photographer is willing to travel, because Wales is larger by road than it looks. Check whether travel is included, how many hours of coverage you get and when your gallery will be ready. If you are planning a bilingual ceremony, it can help to mention it so they know the order of the day.

Summer weekends book up well in advance, and prices vary with the season, day and coverage.
