A Welsh Wedding Photographers Take on Engagement Shoots With Sneak Peak From South Wales

A Look at A South Wales Engagement Shoot From a Cardiff Wedding Photographer

Weddings and my Masters makes me a busy boy....

Being a wedding photographer and also shooting documentary photography projects with my Ma course is really pushing me hard this year. That's why I've started to do video blogs more in an attempt to save some time. I feel so lucky to be able to do what I love for a living and on top of that I get to hang out with some of the best people and share their big day with them. In this post I talk about Kelsey and Lloyd's engagement shoot at Southerndown in South Wales and why I think engagement shoots are really helpful.

Hair and Makeup shoots coming up...

I’ve also got a few cool mini projects coming up with other wedding suppliers, some styled shoots and some blogs.  Becky’s getting her hair and make up trials sorted for our wedding so I might have some posts going over some different looks that are popular this year along with some FAQ’s that our lovely Hair and make up expert will be answering.

Our wedding stuff...

As it's getting closer to our own wedding I have my suit bought and my stag booked to Berlin! I always love hearing from you guys and I would love some advice on things to do in Berlin, right now I think we're going to go to the Ramones museum and maybe watch some local Germany bands and of course drink some beer!  Becky has been the super star getting everything finalised because I've been running around like crazy meeting couples, shooting weddings and working on my documentary project. I need to get my hair cut! It’s the first time I’ve ever had long (ish) hair and I need to get something snazzy for the big day, but I can't figure out what it is! I’m really happy with the suit that we picked out now, I kinda want to wear it before the wedding but I’m not allowed, which is probably for the best, imagine staining or ruining your wedding suit a few days before the day?

Our international guests...

We’ve been skyping all of our international friends who are coming to the wedding and it’s funny how pretty much all of them are super excited about, wait for it…..castles! Our American and Canadian friends we met whilst working abroad are super excited to see some castles. We take them for granted in Wales.
