With a clear focus on wedding photography as his core practice, Simon brings a calm, unobtrusive presence to every ceremony and celebration. His goal is simple: to capture the honest emotions, small details and fleeting moments that together tell the real story of your day. Why choose Simon for your wedding? As a specialist in wedding photography, he combines a documentary-led approach with considered portraiture. Rather than staging artificial moments, Simon works to create relaxed conditions where genuine reactions can flourish — the laughter, the tear in a speech, the quiet exchange between partners. He pays close attention to natural light, atmosphere and composition so that each image feels both beautiful and truthful. Simon’s process is built around collaboration and calm planning. From an initial conversation to understand your priorities, through to the wedding day itself, he aims to be a reassuring and organised presence. He listens to what matters most to you — family dynamics, venue highlights, key people — and blends that with his experience of working in a wide range of settings across South Wales. On the day he moves discreetly, allowing events to unfold while being ready to capture those decisive moments. Photography is the central offering, but for couples who want an extra layer of storytelling Simon also offers wedding film as a complementary service. These cinematic highlights are created with the same sensitivity and eye for detail as his photography, designed to sit alongside your images without ever overshadowing them. Above all, Simon is driven by a genuine passion for weddings: the human connections, the atmosphere and the memories that couples want to keep. If you’re looking for a Clydach-based wedding day photographer who prioritises authenticity, clarity and a relaxed experience, Simon Charlton provides professional, heartfelt coverage that preserves your day for years to come.
