5,10,100 stars for Colin!!

We were so lucky have Colin as our photographer on our wedding day, he captured the most beautiful photographs and really brought the feeling of the day to life.

We picked Colin because we really loved his natural, candid style. Through the whole day of the wedding, and our engagement shoot before hand Colin made us feel so relaxed, and it really showed in the pictures.

These photos will be cherished for a lifetime and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Colin is so friendly and easy to get on with, it felt like he was just another friend sharing our day with us.

We’ll be forever grateful for the memories he helped us create.

Natural, fun, authentic wedding photography.


A South Wales wedding photographer with a candid and fun style, capturing your day authentically.
Based in Abergavenny and available for weddings across the UK and worldwide.

I’m Colin - I photograph weddings, and my main focus is authenticity and storytelling. My work is primarily candid with an editorial style, creating images that feel genuine, natural and tell your story.

My pledge to you:

I will not tell you when to kiss.

Every couple has their own individuality and personality, and my mission is to create the most beautiful, creative, natural and fun photos to capture your special moments.

I specialise in observing and capturing moments from your day with a relaxed, fun, unobtrusive, yet cooperative style. This creates authentic, natural photos that reflect every aspect of your special day.

My laid-back approach helps couples feel at ease, reduces awkwardness, and keeps us away from staged or cringe-worthy shots.

I aim to observe and not direct. I am not going to take photos to make your wedding look perfect. It is the imperfect moments I am looking for. This is how we tell your story.

I am here for the couples that…

…don’t like having their photos taken.

…don’t like posed images.

…want candid photos with an editorial style.

…want the story of their day told.

This is your day, not mine.

Over the moon! 5 ⭐️ from Colin

So happy with how Colin captured our day, we asked for a relaxed documentary style and Colin 100% delivered. We felt so at ease with how he blended in with us all. He really gave it his all and we are so happy we decided to pick him. 100% recommended. Thank you from the bottom of hearts, you have given us pictures we will treasure forever.

Best Photographer Ever!!

I really don't know how to put into words how incredible Colin was not only on our wedding day but during the whole planning experience.

From the moment we chose Colin we knew we'd made the right decision! He was responsive to emails, answered all of our questions and the portal he uses to track payments/ contracts/ details is a brides dream- so organised. We also had our engagement shoot with Colin a year before our wedding which was a great opportunity for us to get used to Colin's photography style too. He made us feel comfortable, didn't ask us to do anything we weren't comfortable with and we had such a good laugh with him throughout.

On the wedding day itself he was the perfect mix of blending into the background to capture authentic candid moments, while also making sure to be there for all of the big moments too. He went above and beyond for us making sure he was there from getting ready in the morning all the way through to almost the end of our disco! I really can't recommend him enough to be a part of your big day.

Excellent experience, felt so personal.

Everything from start to finish was so personal, and we felt so at ease with Colin. I couldn't recommend him enough - and the photos honestly have perfectly captured our day.

A beer-loving, tea-loving, burger-loving, dog-loving (not literally) human. Like many, I like the simple things in life. An evening at home with the missus and Brandon (our dog), beer in hand, and a good series on Netflix (like Better Call Saul) suits me.

It wasn’t always this way, of course. After university came my “gap ya,” and that's when things began to change. I was lucky enough to go travelling. A five month trip worldwide, ending the trip to the most beautiful place on earth…Machu Picchu (second to Wales, of course). During this trip, I purchased my first compact camera… and the love of taking photographs began!

Now, I am fully invested in the world of Storyteller Wedding Photography. I love this style of wedding photography. I have now photographed around 40 weddings, and I believe it is the only way to get truly unique wedding photos, and the best part is that it is unobtrusive to the bride and groom. They can enjoy the day without me even knowing I am there!

Please take the time to look at my work, and for inquiries and rates, don't hesitate to contact me or email me at colin@colinjones.photography.
