The Gower was the first place in Britain to be named an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and on a wedding day you can see why: golden beaches, wild headlands and salt marsh, all a short drive from Swansea.
Whether you’re marrying in the city or out on the peninsula, I’ll capture your day in a relaxed, natural way, from the quiet moments getting ready to the last song on the dance floor.

Tips for your Swansea & Gower wedding photos
Make the most of the coast
If your venue is near the sea, a short trip to a beach or headland for couple photos can be the highlight of your gallery. We’ll plan it around your timings so it never feels rushed.
Think about the wind
Gower is beautiful but breezy. A veil you can pin securely and a cosy layer for the evening make a big difference, and I’ll always find sheltered spots for portraits.
Golden hour by the sea
Summer sunsets here are late and spectacular. If you’re happy to sneak out for ten minutes after dinner, the light by the coast is worth it.

Absolutely, as long as it fits your day. We’ll look at the distance from your venue and the tide times together, then plan a short trip that keeps you back with your guests quickly.
Do you charge travel to Swansea and the Gower?
No. Travel is included anywhere in the UK, so a wedding in Swansea and the Gower costs the same as one down the road from me.
