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.

The most amazing photos

Where do I start Kate was amazing from the first ever time we meet her to see if she was the one from that first meeting I knew then she was amazing , on the day you didn't even notice she was there she just slotted in and captured the most amazing photos. I couldn't thank her enough, anyone who is thinking of having Kate capture the most important day of your lives don't hesitate she is beyond amazing , love every picture and love having my album on display for everyone to see.

Capture our special moments

We booked Kate as our wedding photographer for 29/10/19 at Ocean View and boy we were lucky to have found her! ?

First of all... she is such a beautiful soul. ?
From our first chat to our wedding day we knew she was perfect for us.
Kate is so chilled, down to Earth and such a genuine person. Don’t let this fool you though! She is completely on it and knows exactly what she is doing, without being in your face and pushy.
We wanted a photographer to go with the flow of our day and capture our special moments. We didn’t want anything to be forced and we certainly aren’t the most posed or photogenic people! ? Kate really was in her element, snapping away at the bridal prep and being a ninja doing pictures of the decor and flowers. She was so amazing when we had our professional photos up the castle, despite the awful wind and chilly day. ‘But at least it’s dry!’ She kept chanting and her positive vibes certainly got us smiling. We didn’t feel awkward what so ever when posing despite some old ladies waving to us and watching as we had our photos taken at the castle or the Canadian film crew who turned up ? Kate just carried on without a care in the world and did her job with the upmost professionalism.



Everyone has commented how lovely Kate is, friendly and approachable and always asking if people would like their own individual picture taken. She was such a tremendous help throughout the day, from helping with my dress, to getting my things together when I was melting down ? to finally being a kind confidence booster. I cannot thank Kate enough for everything she did for us.

We’ve had some tasters back and they are stunning. Her attention to detail and romantic shots are really what made us pick Kate over other photographers. Her absolutely fabulous page with countless lush reviews and thoughtful posts was really attractive. I think I may like every post you do. We thought her price was extremely reasonable and competitive.
We are waiting so patiently for our final photos and I think when I see them I may just die ?? we are all very excited to see them and have total faith that she’s done a fantastic job.

We would recommend Kate as anyone’s photographer in a heartbeat ?

Love, the new Mr and Mrs Farrell ?

We will treasure forever

You think Kate Is amazing from the off but just wait until you see her work! We went through the pandemic together so much unknown, postponements and fingers crossed our 3rd date would go ahead. Kate was without a doubt the quickest on responding we had out of the whole wedding always there to reply fast as busy as she is.

She just knows what shots are important she knows what to capture she’s so down to earth and someone you would like to have around whilst getting ready for your big day. She will also help you breathe through any anxieties you may have. She goes above photography too, need your veil fixed? Help putting shoes on? Fixing your dress? You name it! Thank you so much Kate for giving us the photos We will treasure forever

Made our wedding day fun


I genuinely wish we could take Kate everywhere with us! She made our wedding day fun and stress-free and took the most beautiful photos. Nothing was too much and knowing we could leave her to it when we were dealing with the logistics of the day made the whole experience 100x easier. I’m so glad we used her as our photographer. The pre-wedding and wedding photos are something we’ll treasure forever. Thank you so so much Kate




I’ve had to come back and edit my review to add that were once again blown away by Kate’s pictures! Our engagement & wedding photos were so amazing we knew we didn’t want anyone else for our maternity shoot. And it was definitely the right decision!


We had so much fun taking the photos and they look even better than we could’ve possible hoped for! Thank you once again Kate

Her style is natural…

We chose Kate as our photographer for bump and baby photos and later for some family photos on location.

Kate was patient and inventive taking opportunities to snap beautiful memories.

Kate understood what we wanted, kept the whole experience relaxed and got stunning photographs out each session. These photos we will treasure!

Her style is natural and not over edited photos!

Kate Photography is highly recommended!

There for us every step of the way

Kate is not only an amazingly talented photographer, but also a wonderful person. On our wedding day she was there for us every step of the way with kind words and lots of support (even provided hair clips in an emergency!!). Our photographs are breathtaking and we cannot stop looking at them. We could not recommend her enough, if you need a photographer look no further than Kate Richards.

Captured our day perfectly!

Kate captured our day perfectly! we are so in love with the pictures we have seen & we can't thank Kate enough for her support in the run up to the wedding. Our guests have all reported lovely things about the photos.

Working with Kate was so easy, Kate is a wonderful person & so kind we first met Kate at Cwtchfest in Cardiff. We knew then that Kate was a dream.


We cannot wait to see the rest of the photographs. We will forever be grateful to Kate for capturing the little moments that happened.
