Craig Maunder Photography

Craig Maunder Photography is a Barry‑based specialist in wedding photography, delivering relaxed, natural and story-led images across South Wales and beyond. Craig’s approach is light‑hearted and friendly: he focuses on blending in, observing the day as it unfolds and capturing the genuine emotions that make your wedding unique. His unobtrusive style lets couples enjoy their day while he records the laughs, tears, and quiet moments in a documentary-led way. What sets Craig apart is his commitment to making the whole experience feel easy and personal. He invests time in getting to know each couple—what matters to you, the people you’ll want remembered, and the atmosphere you want your photos to reflect. Minimal direction means there’s no awkward posing; instead, Craig uses gentle prompts and natural interaction to create authentic bridal and groom portraits that feel comfortable and real. All wedding packages include a pre‑wedding shoot so you can see how Craig works and feel relaxed and confident on the big day. Attention to detail is central to Craig’s photography. Beyond the big moments—ceremony, vows, first dance—he looks for the little things you’ve carefully chosen: the bouquet, place settings, candid exchanges and the small scenes that complete your story. Where appropriate, Craig can include aerial/drone imagery to add sweeping perspective, giving your wedding collection a varied, cinematic look while always prioritising safety and venue guidelines. Based near Cardiff and operating from Barry, Craig has photographed weddings across South Wales and is comfortable shooting in a wide range of venues and weather. His work aims to create a timeless set of professional wedding photos you’ll return to again and again—images that feel like the day, as you remember it. While wedding photography is Craig’s primary focus and area of expertise, he is also available for other events and occasional equestrian/animal sessions. If you’re planning a wedding in Barry, Cardiff or elsewhere in South Wales and want a calm, natural photographer who tells your story with warmth and care, Craig Maunder Photography offers a friendly, experienced and professional service tailored to your day.
