Mid Wales & the borders
Newtown wedding photographer
Relaxed, documentary wedding photography in Newtown for couples who want to stay present and enjoy the day.
Newtown, or Y Drenewydd, is a lively Powys town on the River Severn and a practical base for celebrations across northern Mid Wales and the border counties. The area offers an easy mix of town-centre convenience, rural churches, family farms and countryside venues.
My photography is natural but not hands-off when you need help. I will give clear, gentle direction for portraits, keep family groups moving and spend the rest of the day watching for real connection.
Northern Powys coverage
A calm presence from morning to evening
Good documentary coverage begins before anything dramatic happens. The small exchanges during preparations, guests greeting each other and people finding their place in the room all build the story. I photograph those moments quietly, then step forward when organisation is helpful.
Newtown is well connected for weddings that bring guests from different directions. If your ceremony and reception are separate, send every postcode at the start. I can then help you protect the timeline from rushed journeys and leave space for the moments that cannot be scheduled.
The day as it felt
People, movement and honest emotion
A wedding gallery should hold the polished portraits and the moments you did not realise were happening.

A small buffer before dinner is often enough for portraits without making the drinks reception feel staged.
