Meet me and my approacH
—
Welcome! I'm Kirsty. I’m a South Wales wedding and couples photographer, capturing love stories across Wales, the South West, the Cotswolds and beyond. I’m always up for an adventure to document your lovely faces and memories that you will want to cherish forever. Whether that’s embracing the great outdoors on a windy day on beautiful Rhossili Bay, some golden hour glow in the Cotswolds or chic city vibes in London town. I got you!
I’m actually on a new adventure myself after moving to the coast in Swansea. I'm a big lover of dancing in the kitchen to vinyls, pizza, warm summer evenings and sea swims (whatever the weather!). When I'm forced to step away from my camera you will find me in the great outdoors, probably basking in the sunshine. Whilst in the winter I tend to be hitting hibernation mode with a good old netflix series. If you want to get to know me better, I regularly update my insta stories - I don’t tend to take myself too seriously!
Me and my husband were lucky enough to have the most incredible summers wedding. As they say “time flies when you’re having fun” and it really did go by in a flash, which is why investing in photography was one of the most significant decisions we made. Therefore, I truly value more than ever, the huge importance of documenting those memories to take you back and relive your magic day.
“I AIM TO get to know every one of couples. I feel it's so important we connect and I make you feel Comfortable so I can create that authentic 'story telling' photography for you both”
I’m a big fan of…
confetti throwing (the more the better!)
big belly laughs
big wild bouquets
glowy golden sunsets
little ones being cute
the bridesmaid squad photos
sparklers at dusk
dodgy (yet excellent) dance moves
cocktail hour as the sun sets
…..going that little bit extra!
I take a modern approach to wedding photography, that's authentic, warm and playful. I often describe it as 'story telling' meaning I capture your wedding day as it unfolds. You will find me hovering in the background for most of the day, watching out for hugs, tears, laughter and magic spots of light. Although I’m not afraid to get stuck in and give a little direction as and when it might be needed. My goal is to be there to capture everything in the most beautiful way I can, from the big butterfly flipping moments to the tiny details. I will be documenting the things you may not realise are happening at the time to create your story.
The couple portraits are a great way to experiment and have some fun together. From kisses in the rain, silly whispers that make you crack up laughing to dancing under the golden hour glow. Don't feel comfortable in front of the camera? Or you have some insecurities you're worried about? This is all totally normal. I promise I'm nice and discourage anything that feels awkward. I will do my best to make you feel comfortable, incorporating your personalities and highlighting your best features.
In the lead up to your wedding, I work with my couples to create a timeline that allows them to make the most of the photography whilst also having the most epic enjoyable day! This includes scheduling in time to get all those beaut detail shots during the morning preparations to the important group photos of your favourite people to capturing the last of the golden hour rays with your loved one.
REAL TALK
It means the world to me to capture love stories, and it will never be something I take for granted. From your initial enquiry to delivering your galleries - I am totally invested in you both and here for support, honesty and all round cheerleader vibes (but not the annoying type).
