Short + Sweet Wedding Photography

For micro weddings, elopements, and minimonies in South Wales

Not everyone wants a full-day wedding, and honestly? I love that.

Some weddings are small, meaningful, wildly personal and beautifully simple. Just vows, your favourite humans, a handful of confetti and a whole lot of love.

Short coverage is perfect if you:

  • want the moments that matter, not eight hours of documentation
  • are eloping, scaling down, or just keeping it chill
  • prefer real, relaxed photos over overly posed perfection

Why short coverage works

Not every wedding needs 8-12 hours of coverage, and that’s completely okay. Short wedding coverage gives you all the highlights — without the long timeline or big wedding energy

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.

This is photography for people who want joy, connection, and memories that feel like them — minus the pressure or the performance.

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

FAQs

Can we add more hours later?

Yes — as long as my calendar allows. Just ask.

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.
