Simon Gough Photography

Simon Gough Photography is a Cardiff-based wedding specialist dedicated to capturing the genuine emotion and quiet moments that make each celebration unique. As a wedding photographer focused on storytelling, Simon blends a documentary-led approach with considered, timeless portraiture so couples end up with professional wedding photos that feel authentic rather than staged. Why choose Simon Gough Photography? Simon brings years of experience shooting weddings across Cardiff and South Wales, creating a relaxed atmosphere that helps couples, families and bridal parties be themselves. His priority is to remain unobtrusive during the ceremony and early reception, allowing the day to unfold naturally while staying alert for those decisive, heartfelt moments — the laughter, the small gestures, the in-between glances that tell the real story. What makes the approach special is the balance between observation and connection. Simon works quietly in the background to document the narrative of your day, then gently guides intimate portraits that reflect your personalities. The result is a cohesive gallery of professional wedding photos with emotional depth, clean composition and a classic aesthetic that stands the test of time. How Simon works with couples: from first enquiry through to delivery, the process is straightforward and personal. Initial conversations focus on understanding what matters most to you — priorities, venue logistics and the atmosphere you want to capture. On the day, Simon aims to be calm, flexible and friendly, collaborating with you and your suppliers to ensure coverage that feels natural and smooth. After the wedding, he carefully edits and sequences your images so the final collection reads like the story of your day. While weddings are Simon’s primary focus, he also occasionally shoots engagement sessions to help couples feel comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. Based in Cardiff, Simon Gough Photography offers couples a thoughtful, experienced wedding photographer committed to delivering beautiful, honest images you’ll treasure for years to come.
