Hello

and welcome…

I’m Kate; an experienced wedding photographer based in Margam. If you’re looking for someone who’s naturally creative, friendly and calming – I may be the photographer for you.

My style is warm, romantic and modern, using light and scenery to frame the moment, with the aim to capture genuine emotion and atmosphere of the day – but also the warmth, happiness and love, so when you look at them years later you remember the feeling of that day.

Captured the day in a natural way

Where do I even begin?!?
From start to finish, kate was incredible on our wedding day. Kate was professional, discreet and not pushy in any way. We wanted a relaxed photographer that captured the day in a natural way and she did just that!

We also adored our pre wedding shoot that was included in the package, here we really got to know kate and got a feel for her photography style.

Everybody loves our photos and many members of our family commented on how lovely and professional kate was to have around on our special day!

Thank you kate, we can’t wait to see our official photo album!

Made us feel so comfortable

If you are looking for a photographer for a wedding or any special occasion in your life Kate is the one to have. This is going to be a long review but Kate definitely deserves it and we honestly have so many lovely things to say.

When we first started looking for a wedding photographer I had no idea what we wanted, we found Kate on the off chance on Facebook and loved her style. After a few messages back and for and meeting for a coffee we knew she was a perfect choice and we were right! Throughout lockdown and the changing of our date Kate was so accommodating and helpful I was grateful to have her to talk to.

In the engagement shoot we were a bit nervous and a bit awkward but within 5 minutes Kate made us feel so comfortable just like we were going for a stroll in a garden. The photos are beautiful and ones we will cherish forever.

And then on our big day Kate was absolutely amazing, not only did she capture our day without us really knowing she was there but she also helped with a few little things that just weren't going to plan. I am honestly so happy she was there throughout it all.

Kate also recommended a fantastic videographer and they worked so well together we are so grateful to them both.

A day after the wedding we had some teasers, and wow they are beautiful!

Finally, we'd just like to say how fantastic Kate is at her job, if your are looking for a photographer she is the one to have! She is wonderful.

Thank you for everything.

She completely blew our expectations away…

From the moment my husband and I met Kate at a wedding fayre we felt at ease. Looking at the way she captures such beautiful moments in such a natural and light way gave us every confidence in her ability. On our wedding day however she completely blew our expectations away… she exceeded every single one of our expectations and was even a critical part of our joy in the day. She was calm, well organised, communicative, responsive, kind, talented and just exceptional at what she does. At our wedding she was more than a photographer, she was a hairdresser, a stylist, a helper, a florist, a co ordinator and more importantly, a friend. I can’t recommend Kate and her work enough. For anyone looking for a wedding photographer please do not hesitate to contact Kate, you will not regret it.

To Kate, thank you for everything you made our day so perfect. You are an absolutely beautiful human being and will always be a friend to both Kerry and I.

Absolutely over the moon

Both my wife and I can’t recommend Kate highly enough. She is a lovely woman and an exceptionally talented photographer. We’re absolutely over the moon with the quality and range of shots. She totally understood what we were wanting from the get-go and far exceeded our high expectations.

We’ve received some wonderful feedback from our friends and family about the sneak peak photographs we received in the couple weeks after the wedding. We are delighted and would happily recommend Kate to anyone in a heart beat. Look no further for brilliance and an unobtrusive professionalism.

Absolutely breathtaking

Kate's photography is absolutely breathtaking. We chose Kate as our wedding photographer and even after having the teasers, we were blown away with how beautiful they were. Not only are her photos stunning, but Kate makes you feel at ease at every step of the way.

If you choose Kate to be a part of your special day, you will not regret it!

Makes you feel completely at ease

We first met Kate at a wedding fayre and we were drawn to her friendly and warm personality. We loved her work, very natural and light so we booked her the same day. As my partner and I didn't love having our pictures taken, we opted to have a pre-wedding first and I'm so glad we did. Kate was so happy to accommodate any requests so we had our pre wedding shoot at Three Cliffs Bay and on our wedding day we quickly popped to Rhosilli (thank you, the pictures speak for themselves!).

If you're looking for a friendly photographer who makes you feel completely at ease and with a good balance of having amazing pictures and enjoying the day, then Kate is your photographer!

Felt like having a friend around during the wedding

Kate photographed our wedding in May and she was great !

We had a pre-wedding session a few weeks before the wedding to get used to getting our picture taken which really helped on the day, and Kate was really good at making us feel comfortable and it was great chatting with her as well.

Kate is very professional but also very friendly and it felt like having a friend around during the wedding. The pictures she took look gorgeous, with great portraits of us but also really nice candid pictures of our guests, plus her style of photography is very bright and light which was also why we picked her in the first place, and we did not regret our choice !

We would definitely recommend Kate to photograph any type of event ! Thanks again Kate xx
