Relaxed, award-winning wedding photography in Colwyn Bay and North Wales. I specialise in reportage-style storytelling—natural, candid images that let you relive your wedding day.
Hi — I’m Dave Willis. I’m an award-winning wedding photographer based in Colwyn Bay, photographing couples across North Wales, the Llyn Peninsula and beyond. My work is for relaxed couples who want their day captured honestly and unstaged: reportage-style wedding photography that focuses on real moments, emotions and atmosphere rather than stiff poses or gimmicks. Why choose me? I believe your wedding photos should feel like the story you lived. I shoot in an informal, documentary way — blending into the day so you get those fleeting glances, the laughs you didn’t notice, the confetti throws and the late-night dancefloor chaos. No props, no fake lighting, no awkward posing — just natural moments captured with care and an eye for light and emotion. Over the years I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings, and that experience helps me anticipate the moments that matter. My approach is relaxed and friendly. I like to get to know couples before the big day so you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Engagement shoots are a great way to do that: a short, fun session that helps you get used to being photographed and gives you beautiful images for invites or your wedding table. On the wedding day I work unobtrusively from preparation through to the party, documenting the story as it unfolds and creating a mix of candid reportage images and natural portraits. I’m proud to be an award-winning North Wales wedding photographer — but what really drives me is the chance to create photographs that take you back to the moment. After the wedding you’ll receive your images in a format that makes it easy to share and treasure; many couples also choose a handcrafted fine-art album to keep those memories on the coffee table for years to come. If you like a warm, honest style of wedding photography and want someone who cares about your story as much as you do, please get in touch. I’m always happy to meet, chat through ideas and see if we’re the right fit for your day.
