WEDDING AND EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHER - SOUTH WALES
Calm, Creative & Occasionally Covered in Welsh Mud
Hi, I’m H,
Looking for a photographer who's relaxed and captures the real atmosphere of your day - without the premium price tag? You’re in the right place.
I’ve spent the past few years photographing weddings and events across South Wales and beyond - from bohemian weddings in the Abergavenny mountains, to lively award parties at The Vale Hotel, to covering events for Cancer Research Wales at the Swansea and Cardiff Half Marathon. My approach is mostly documentary: I blend in and let the day unfold naturally, capturing genuine moments with vibrancy and a touch of fun - nothing too posed or forced.
Having searched for a photographer for my own wedding (and scrolled through countless event photography pages), I know how overwhelming it can be, so I’ve kept this site simple and easy to explore. Getting a real feel for my work, without any of the waffle
As I balance my passion for photography with building my career in the NHS, you’ll see my packages are more affordable than most. This doesn’t affect the time or energy I put into each project. Instead, this lets me offer great value while still bringing the same creativity and attention to detail you’d expect from a full-time professional. Whether it’s a wedding or an event, I work hard to capture your day naturally and deliver beautiful results with care and a quick turnaround - all without the premium price tag.
So, organising a conference, hosting a festival, or planning your wedding? I’m your guy. Camera in hand. Ready to capture it all for you. Get in touch!
What sets me apart - Events.
Prepped and Part of the Team
I like to learn the ins and outs about your event before picking up the camera. Prior to your event, we’ll chat about how the day will flow, checking floor plans and timings, and any VIPS speaking or surprises that makes your event unique. By the time I arrive, I’m already part of your team. It’s not just about turning up and taking photos - it’s about being prepared, invested, and completely on board with your vision.
Present and In the Moment
During your event, I’m calm, professional, and blend seamlessly into the crowd. From spotting a sponsored runner crossing the finish line, ensuring ‘no blinks’ in the corporate big team photo, or helping the keynote speaker feel at ease, I’m there for the right moments - bringing the right energy every time
Supportive, Friendly, Involved
I don’t just take photos..
Being a cyclist, I know how important fuelling is, so I’ll hand electrolytes to your charity runners, grab those early morning coffees, , and if time allows, I’ll lend a hand with the pack down. I stay switched on to what’s happening, ready to photograph and help where I can. I’m not just documenting your event - I’m supporting it, and living it with you. And yes - I'm 100% a people person. I make friends quickly and bring a relaxed, upbeat energy to every shoot, because when people feel comfortable, the best photos follow.
CRW Events Team
“We were thoroughly impressed by Henry’s professionalism, dedication, and the quality of his work. From the outset, he approached his role with enthusiasm and seamlessly integrated into our team. Henry went above and beyond by not only capturing high-quality images but also engaging with participants and offering support throughout the event. His presence added value far beyond photography, and his images perfectly encapsulated the spirit, atmosphere and energy of the day”

Weddings. A documentary approach, rooted in real moments.
A Natural Fit
I photograph weddings the way that they unfold - real, unscripted, and full of feeling. With my relaxed, documentary-led approach, you can enjoy every moment without thinking about the camera. I’m drawn to the quiet in-between glances, the belly laughs, and all the little things that tell your story.
Prepped, Present, and Part of the Day
Before your big day, I like to learn about you and the little details that make your story yours. I’ll check in with your planner, pop by the venue beforehand, and always have a rainy Plan B ready (with a few extra tricks if needed). On the day, I’m more than just your photographer - I blend in as a familiar, friendly face, working with your bridal party and groomsmen, help guests feel at ease, and stay tuned in to capture all the moments as they happen.
Keeping It Comfortable - And Going the Extra Mile
You might tell me, ‘I’m not very photogenic,’ and honestly, I hear that all the time. That’s where I come in - helping you feel completely at ease and just be yourselves. No stiff poses, just a little guidance, some friendly chat, and plenty of space to enjoy the day. Afterwards, I’ll send you a beautifully edited online gallery that’s easy to share with family and friends (and perfect for prints too). And don’t worry - just because the wedding’s over doesn’t mean I disappear. I’ll check in now and then, and I’m always around for your next big milestone. Your wedding isn’t just an event - it’s a story. And I’d love to help you tell it.
