"5 stars really doesn't do Kate justice!

Kate was an absolute star, and you should book her immediately. We picked her off the back of one Zoom call, as she was so warm and personable and we felt like we'd be in safe hands. On the day itself, she came along to photograph us all down at Barry Island Parkrun, which resulted in some great action shots, as well as capturing the joy on everyone's faces at the start of the big day. Throughout the day itself she was such a calming influence; knowing the venue inside out, and having worked on tons of weddings previously, she was able to guide us through every part of the day. By the end of the day, it felt like she was part of the wedding party; it was as if we didn't just hire a photographer, but an extra wedding planner. And the photos were obviously all great as well!"

Words from the Bride | Emma Davis

My name is Kate and I'm a photographer based in South Wales.


I’m an list writer who will guide you through your wedding journey and you’ll get to know that from our very first meeting.


When it comes to weddings I believe the best approach is to be organised ahead of time so that you can relax when it comes to the main event.


I shoot a combination of candid and posed photography. I’m all about the natural moments. However, it’s important to have photographs with your nearest and dearest so I’ll also capture some group photos for you too.


I’m rather fond of a good natter and will get to know your guests whilst capturing natural candid shots.

And by the time the dance floor opens, you’ll forget I’m the photographer because we’ll be like old friends!

We love you Kate!

Where do I start?? Kate is an absolute dream! From the moment we met online to discuss our wedding, we knew we were in the best hands. We booked a pre wedding shoot in Cardiff with Kate and we honestly didn’t stop laughing. She made me and my husband, who might be a little camera shy, feel so at ease. We had the best day and loved our photos! Now on to the main event. We had so many comments from our guests that Kate really made their day. She felt more like a guest than our photographer. Again, we didn’t stop laughing. She captured our day perfectly and we cannot stop looking at our photos. They are perfect. If we could have Kate to capture every moment of our life, we really would- she is absolutely brilliant and made our day so special. We cannot thank you enough Kate! From your biggest fans, Carly & Jas (& Dr Now)

Our summer 2022 wedding!

Kate photographed our wedding in August this year, she was nothing short of amazing. I met Kate during another wedding we worked on together a couple of years ago. We really liked her style of work and decided to go ahead and book her for our big day. She was professional throughout the entire process and nothing was too much trouble. On the day of our wedding, she worked tirelessly in the 30 degree heat to capture all the best bits of the day. Our photo’s really do speak for themselves! Our experience with Kate was second to none. She was personable, fun and friendly and overall made everyone at ease on the day. A woman very talented at her craft! I would highly recommend Kate to any future bride & groom’s looking for a photographer! 5 ⭐️‘s from us!

Great wedding photographer

Without a doubt we would recommend Kate. The photos she took of our wedding are beautiful - both the formal posed shots and the candid ones throughout the day. They really do capture the whole day brilliantly. Kate was super friendly and easy to get along with and made sure that we got all of the photos we wanted whilst also making sure that all of the group photos were a quick and painless process. She made us feel at ease throughout, giving direction where needed to get the best possible pictures. We were also really impressed with the turnaround time to receive the photos after the wedding.

Couldn’t recommend more!

Kate photographed our wedding last May and we honestly can not recommend her enough! The pictures we received are perfect and she captured every detail of the day. She instantly put us both at ease and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. From the very first meeting to my many many emails Kate has been friendly and attentive and so many of guests commented abut how lovely she was throughout the day. We have since booked Kate again to take some maternity and newborn shots for our family and are just as in love with these photos as we are our wedding photos!
