Short + Sweet Wedding Photography

For micro weddings, elopements, and minimonies in South Wales

Just because you’re keeping things intimate doesn’t mean your photos should be an afterthought. Whether you’re eloping in Cardiff, having a cosy celebration with your closest people, or saying “I do” at the local registry office — you deserve beautiful, colourful, storytelling photos that capture all the feels (and maybe a few happy tears).

These short-coverage packages are designed for micro weddings, elopements, and minimonies within an hour of Cardiff. You get the same bold, relaxed photography style I bring to my full-day weddings — just in a smaller, more flexible package.

Why short coverage?

Not every wedding needs 8-12 hours of coverage, and that’s completely okay.

Short coverage is perfect if:

  • You’re having a registry office wedding or small ceremony followed by a few drinks.
  • You’re planning an elopement or vow renewal in South Wales.
  • You want a few hours of professional photos without committing to a full day.
  • You’re on a smaller budget but still want gorgeous, meaningful images.

You’ll still get my full creative attention, colourful editing, and relaxed approach — just in a shorter, sweeter format.

£400 for 2 hours

FAQs

Can we add more hours later?

Will the editing style be the same as your full-day weddings?

Yes — bold, colourful, and true-to-life tones. No filters or heavy retouching, just beautiful storytelling.

Do you travel outside Cardiff?

Yes — I’m based in Pontypridd and happy to travel up to an hour for these packages. For anything further, we can chat about travel costs.

Do we still get a sneak peek?

Always! I’ll send you a handful of favourites within a few days so you can share them straight away.
