About

Hi, I’m Katy — a wedding photographer based in Oswestry, Shropshire, and I’ve spent the last 10+ years capturing over 100 love stories in the most relaxed and authentic way possible.

I specialise in natural, documentary-style wedding photography — no awkward posing, no cheesy smiles, just the real, heartfelt moments as they unfold. Whether it’s the quiet nerves during bridal prep, belly laughs during the speeches, or that first ‘just married’ glance, I’m there to tell your story exactly as it felt.

I offer a range of wedding packages, from shorter coverage to full-day storytelling, so whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a big celebration with all your favourite people, there’s something to suit you. All galleries are delivered online, and depending on your package, you’ll also receive prints and a beautifully presented USB with your full set of images.

I travel across the UK, with no extra charge for venues within 100 miles of Oswestry. Wherever you’re tying the knot, I’d love to come along.

It’s not just about beautiful images — it’s about creating a relaxed experience so you can be fully present on your wedding day. My goal is simple: to make you feel completely at ease and to capture your day in a way that feels just rightfor you.

Wonderful wedding photos!

Katy did our photos for our wedding in June at Rowton Castle. A last minute change of plan meant I rang Katy in a panic to see if she was free for our day and I’m so so glad she was! We had a few zoom calls to meet each other with only two weeks to go but I immediately felt like Katy would do a great job. She was really down to earth and lovely to have around on the day. We are so pleased with our photos, they are more than we could have hoped for- I would highly recommend Katy as your wedding photographer!

Perfect from start to finish

We had Katy for as our photography and we couldn't have asked for more. From start to finish she was amazing, kept everyone at ease and got the most perfect photos. The day was very relaxed and katy got the perfect photos. Our venue was changed with 4 weeks notice but Katy still got the best for us. We can't thank her enough. Her professionalism throughout was outstanding and she has given us the most perfect pictures, memories that will last us our lifetime. I cant recommend her enough, she is amazing. Thank you Katy

Fab Photographer!

I would highly recommend Katy as your wedding photographer! Myself and my husband were over the moon with our photos of our autumn wedding back in 2022 at Rowton Castle. Everything felt so relaxed and the photos really natural.
Katy was so down to earth and just fitted in so well. All of our guests were singing her praises.
Thank you Katy for capturing our day so perfectly!
Love Mr and Mrs Keane ") xx

Couldn’t recommend highly enough tbh

Katy was so supportive and helpful! We were a little rushed as got married quickly after being engaged so having Katy on hand to tell us what we needed, what was expected etc was really useful. She took the time to look around a new venue with us and chatted about what we were looking for in the photos. The photos are natural which is what we really wanted. Loved working with Katy! A real gem!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
