The Vale of Glamorgan has a bit of everything for a wedding: rolling farmland, pretty villages, a vineyard, and the cliffs of the Glamorgan Heritage Coast, all within half an hour of Cardiff.
It’s close to home for me, and I’ve photographed some of my favourite weddings here. I keep things relaxed and natural, so you can enjoy the day while I capture it as it unfolds.
For more ideas, take a look at my guide to the best wedding venues in South Wales.
Venues I’ve photographed around the Vale of Glamorgan
- Llanerch VineyardVines, rolling views and a really relaxed feel. See Bethan & James’s wedding there.
- Gileston ManorA historic manor close to the coast, with gardens perfect for summer weddings.
- St Donat’s CastleA medieval castle on the Heritage Coast near Llantwit Major, with terraced gardens running down to the sea.
- Rosedew FarmA farm venue near Llantwit Major, a short hop from the coast.

Tips for your Vale of Glamorgan wedding photos
Head to the coast for portraits
Many Vale venues are only minutes from the Heritage Coast. If you’d love sea views in your photos, let me know when we chat and we’ll see if it fits your timings.
Vineyard and garden weddings
Outdoor ceremonies here are beautiful, but always have a plan B. I’ll help you think about where to stand and where your guests will be if it rains.
Let the light do the work
The Vale’s open countryside gives lovely soft evening light. A quick ten minutes at golden hour gives you some of the most romantic photos of the day.

Questions couples ask
Have you photographed at Llanerch Vineyard before?
Yes. You can see a full wedding from there, Bethan & James’s, in my real weddings, which is the best way to get a feel for how I’d photograph your day there.
Do you charge travel to the Vale of Glamorgan?
No. Travel is included anywhere in the UK, so a wedding in the Vale of Glamorgan costs the same as one down the road from me.
