"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!

You must book Kate!

Kate photographed our wedding last month and she was worth every single penny. She was there from start to finish and from the moment she arrived, she was an absolute joy to be around. It was honestly like having a friend around to capture our day.

My husband and I are both very introvert people and were worried we would look really awkward in photos, but she he had us laughing all day and we were so relaxed around her. She went above and beyond in helping make our day as smooth as possible. She was also great at reassuring us about having photos taken during the day, as there was a big storm.

Kate has such an eye for detail and takes so much care in what she does. I honestly don't know how she manages to capture so much in such a little time. Our speech was only a few minutes long and she captured photos of nearly every guest in that time.

Kate also brings such an energy to the day. Getting ready for the day was so calm and fun with her around and she fit right in with everyone. I don't know how she manages to keep up her energy throughout the day, but was on the dance floor enjoying Sandstorm as much as everyone else by 8pm.

I highly recommend her and will book her for any future event I can thing of.

Incredible from day one!

We truly couldn’t recommend Kate enough. From day one, she impressed us with her warmth, professionalism and proactive communication. She was the one supplier who regularly checked in with us before the big day, not just about photography, but also to ask how everything else was going and whether we needed help with anything. This level of support wasn’t expected, but made such a difference, especially during moments when communication with our venue was a little more challenging.
She sent us the highlights just a few days after the wedding and we are blown away. The photos are absolutely stunning and speak for themselves. Kate’s personality is just as much of a selling point as her work: she was a calming presence when needed, blended in seamlessly when things got lively and made us feel completely at ease throughout. We honestly can’t thank her enough.

Wonderful person and photographer!

Kate's photography was a standout feature of our wedding day. Her ability to capture the essence of our special moments, combined with her warm and friendly personality, made her an absolute pleasure to work with.

From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, Kate was professional, organised, and incredibly talented. Her attention to detail was evident in every shot, and she had a knack for creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Our guests were equally impressed. They commented about her fun-loving demeanor, her ability to blend seamlessly into the festivities, and her exceptional skill in capturing the day's highlights.

We are beyond thrilled with our wedding photos and cannot recommend Kate enough. If you're searching for a photographer who will not only create stunning images but also make your wedding day even more memorable, Kate is the perfect choice.

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.

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!

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)

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!
