Based in Carmarthen, Photography First specialises in wedding photography with a creative, modern and elegant approach. I capture candid emotion on your wedding day and offer engagement shoots plus portrait and videography support.
Hi — I’m the photographer behind Photography First, based in Carmarthen, GB. My core focus is wedding photography: telling a couple’s story through creative, modern and elegant images that let you relive the emotion of the day. I work in a relaxed, reportage (photojournalistic) style — unobtrusive, attentive and always looking for the candid moments that matter most. Why choose Photography First? I bring a storyteller’s eye to every wedding. I’ve been recognised for pushing creative boundaries (Creative Photographer of the Year 2023 and Regional Photographer of the Year 2023) and I strive to balance spontaneous reportage with beautifully crafted portraits. That means you get authentic smiles, unscripted emotion and striking portraits framed against the landscapes and venues of South Wales. My approach is simple and personal. I spend time getting to know you before the wedding so I can anticipate the rhythms of your day and create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable being yourselves. On the day I stay friendly and low‑key, guiding only when needed and letting moments unfold naturally. For couples who want it, I also photograph pre‑wedding/engagement sessions — a great way to relax in front of the camera and build trust ahead of the big day. Although weddings are my speciality, I also occasionally photograph portraits and commercial product work, and I collaborate with videographers to deliver a fuller memory package when required. These additional services support the main aim: telling your wedding story in the most engaging way. Working across Carmarthen and throughout South Wales (and available for destination weddings), I tailor each booking to your priorities — from full-day reportage coverage to shorter documentary-style packages and elegant portrait sessions. My priority is always to capture the essence of your day with images you’ll cherish. If you’re planning a wedding in Carmarthen or elsewhere in South Wales and want a photographer who values creativity, authenticity and a relaxed client experience, let’s talk. I’ll listen to your plans, share ideas for locations and timings, and make sure your photos feel like you — natural, emotional and timeless.
