Hi, I’m Joel — the photographer behind J.Tabbs Photography. Based in Briton Ferry and working across South Wales, I specialise in wedding photography and engagement sessions, driven by the simple belief that a well-made image should let you re‑feel a moment years from now. Photography has been my passion since childhood: I trained for three years to become a professional and launched J.Tabbs Photography in 2015. When I’m not behind the lens I’m usually tinkering with one of my vintage cameras — a reminder of the craft and care I bring to every shoot. Why choose me for your wedding? I bring a creative, stylish and effective approach that puts real people first. My aim is to capture honest, emotive wedding photos — the small glances, the laughter, the unscripted moments — while keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable. I pride myself on being approachable and calm: I’ll be the friendly presence who blends into your day, giving gentle direction where needed and photographing the rest candidly so you can stay present with your guests. How I work is simple and personal. I listen to your story, understand what matters to you, and shape the photography around your day rather than forcing a formula. On the wedding day I focus on creating a natural flow of images that reflect your atmosphere, personalities and the details that make your celebration unique. Engagement photography is available if you’d like a relaxed session before the wedding — a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and build a rapport before your big day. My approach balances documentary moments with considered composition. Whether it’s bridal preparation, the ceremony or those candid late-night smiles, I aim to deliver professional wedding photos that feel authentic and timeless. Based locally in Briton Ferry, I bring local knowledge and a friendly, down-to-earth service that many couples tell me helps them feel calm and confident on the day. If you want creative, dependable wedding photography from a specialist who cares about craft and connection, let’s have a chat (often with a cup of tea). I love hearing about couples’ plans and how I can help capture them — get in touch and we’ll start shaping how your story will be photographed.
