    Elan Valley Dam Wedding

    Alex was fantastic from start to finish. From the first time I spoke to him, I knew he just understood what I wanted from the day. We had an intimate wedding, with 4 guests and our 2 dogs, in the Elan Valley, and on the day Alex was brilliant, and made us both feel at ease.
    And WOW the photos we have had back are just amazing, they've given us memories that we'll treasure for years to come. We would highly recommend Bowdens Photography to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their special day - honestly we could not fault him. My partner isn't a massive fan of having photos, and he loves them that much he wants to order a photobook - which says it all!

    Best choice!

    Alex and Steve were absolutely amazing right from the first call we knew that they were the right photographers for us. They made sure to focus on the shots that were most important to us and were able to capture some amazing candids! We loved receiving the sneak peek photos and we knew we made the right choice. Such good value and amazing photographers ☺️

    Professional, Friendly and all out great guys!

    Alex and Steve were absolutely amazing.
    We seen their work online and social media and knew they were the right photographers for us so arranged an initial call with Alex.
    He answered all our questions we had and made us feel at ease which just made us know they were the ones for our magical day so we hired them.
    Alex kept in contact every step of the way to the lead up to our big day and was always only just a phone call, email or WhatsApp away which made things a lot easier.
    On the day we met Steve, Alex’s dad for the first time and what an amazing duo they both were. We are extremely pleased with their work and they are both very professional, friendly and all out good guys.
    They got all the photos we wanted plus with their expertise many many more.
    All our guest complimented on how good they were and how they felt they were just another part of the wedding and not there just to do a job which was amazing to hear as me and the wife thought exactly the same.
    We would 💯 recommend to anyone out there looking for a great team for their big day.

    Thank you so much both!

    The perfect duo to capture your day

    We couldn't be happier that we decided to go with Alex and Steve to capture our special day.
    From the start their communication was great, Alex went through everything with us and answered all the questions we had. No request was to much.

    Before the big day Alex made sure he had all the Information he needed in regards to certain photos we wanted including group photos, golden hour photos etc.

    On the day both Alex and Steve went above and beyond for us and not just with the photography they helped out in every way they could, Including helping myself with getting a bit of blood off my collar and the groomsmen with their buttonholes they done everything they could to help make our day perfect.

    They made sure to capture every moment throughout the day especially all the important smaller details that we didn't even think about, they made sure to get plenty of natural photos of the day as well.
    They fulfilled every request we had in regards to certains pictures we wanted and they made sure they capture everything we wanted before they left.

    All of our guest have mentioned how nice both Alex and Steve were and how friendly and talkative they were with every single guest there. They were a huge part of our day and we couldn't have done it without them.

    The value for money Especially with having both Alex and Steve is second to none.

    If you're considering booking Bowdens photography it will be a decision you won't regret and easily the best decision you could make when it comes to capturing your special day.

    We cant thank Alex and Steve enough.

    Thank you both for everything
    Simon & Isabel Jones

    You won't be disappointed

    We had Alex and Steve photpgraph our wedding in July . From start to finish we were impressed. The communication was fantastic and Alex walked us through what to expect on the morning and wanted to know exactly what we wanted from our day. Theyre very reasonably priced too!
    When they arrived we unfortunately had a power cut but they didn't hang around getting stuck in. Alex and Steve are both wonderful people. They are kind and friendly and supportive . They have a vision and when you get the sneak peeks back as we did recently they certainly know what theyre doing. Theyre magical and beautiful pictures for us to cherish forever and I can hardly wait to see the rest!
    Thank you so much both!! 💓

    Best photographer

    Alex was amazing. He arrived with his father (Steve), and both of them were very professional throughout the day. They worked quietly in the background, so we never felt disturbed and were able to enjoy the moment naturally.
    We also had limited time for our couple photos, but within that short time they did an incredible job. The photos turned out beautiful and very natural. Every shot was taken from great angles and looks absolutely amazing. We’re really happy with the results and grateful for their fantastic work.

    Professional and friendly pair!

    From start to finish we have been so incredibly happy with the choice we made for Alex and Steve to be our wedding photographers! They were extremely helpful and kind making sure we got every photo. We loved all the sneak peek photos and were amazed by the volume of photos and memories we now have of our special day. We also went for the wedding video which turned out brilliant! Pick them if you want a pair of a pure friendly guys who have a real eye for some wonderful pictures.

    Father & Son photography duo

    We found Bowdens Photography from Bark and felt that Alex and Steve stood out from the other recommendations. Booking was easy and Alex kept in touch throughout the process with consultations explaining what would happen on our big day! What can we say? They were brilliant from the minute they arrived at our home for the getting ready shots right through to the evening party! Alex and Steve made us feel so comfortable and interacted with all our guests. We’ve received our sneak peak photographs and oh my goodness, we are over the moon and can’t wait to see the full collection in the new year! Thank you both so much for capturing our special day!

    Absolutely stunning photos

    We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos and cannot recommend Alex and Steve enough.

    They are such lovely people and really helped everyone relax when having their photos taken.
    They somehow managed to capture every smile, happy tear and belly laugh from the whole day and really captured all the happy memories.

    They were so professional, kept us on our timeline while still capturing candid shots and were up for going out in the golf carts on multiple occasions to capture some of the most stunning photos in different locations.
