The Brecon Beacons, now called Bannau Brycheiniog, are made for wedding photos: big skies, mountain views and that soft, changeable light. A little further south, the Valleys have warm, welcoming venues with the hills right behind them.
I love weddings out here. I’ll capture the whole day in a natural, relaxed way, and find the spots that show off the scenery without taking you away from the celebrations for long.
Venues I’ve photographed around the Brecon Beacons and the Valleys
- Wilde LodgeSee Alice & Matt’s wedding there for the full story of the day.

Tips for your Brecon Beacons & Valleys wedding photos
Embrace the weather
Mountain weather changes quickly, and moody skies can make for incredible photos. Bring a pretty umbrella just in case and we’ll make the most of whatever the day brings.
Plan for the views
If your venue looks out to the hills, we’ll time your couple photos for the softest light, usually later in the afternoon or at golden hour.
Think about travel time
Roads here can be slower than you expect. If your ceremony and reception are in different places, leave a little extra time so the day never feels rushed.
