About

Tom Collins is a wedding photographer based in Cardiff, South Wales, specialising in colourful, natural and documentary wedding photography across Wales and beyond.

His approach is simple: the best wedding photographs happen when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves. Rather than spending the day directing or staging every moment, Tom focuses on capturing genuine emotion, real connections and all the unexpected moments that make each wedding unique.

Wedding days are a blend of energy, emotion and connection. From the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the celebrations on the dance floor, Tom works quietly in the background, documenting the day as it naturally unfolds. The result is a carefully curated collection of images that tells the story of the day honestly and authentically.

Known for his relaxed and friendly approach, Tom helps couples feel at ease in front of the camera. Portraits are kept natural and enjoyable, allowing couples to spend more time with their guests and less time posing. Family photographs are organised efficiently, while the rest of the day is captured with a documentary eye that focuses on real moments rather than forced ones.

Based in South Wales, Tom photographs weddings of all sizes, from intimate celebrations and countryside elopements to full day weddings and weekend events across the UK. Every couple receives a personalised experience, a pre wedding consultation, a preview gallery delivered within 48 hours and a private online gallery to share with family and friends.

Inspired by his own wedding experience with his wife Hannah, Tom understands that the photographs couples treasure most are often the moments they didn't realise were being captured. His aim is to create timeless images that allow couples to relive not only how their wedding looked, but how it felt.

Whether it's a confetti-filled celebration, a quiet moment together after the ceremony or the atmosphere of a packed dance floor, Tom believes every wedding deserves to be documented in a way that feels authentic, joyful and true to the people at the heart of it.
