Peter Williams, a specialist wedding photographer in Ebbw Vale, crafts documentary reportage wedding photos that capture real emotion and atmosphere. Engagement shoots help you relax and prepare for the big day.
I’m Peter Williams and for more than 20 years I’ve photographed stories across Mid Wales — from news and sporting action to the intimate, unrepeatable moments of wedding days. Based in Ebbw Vale, I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography, focusing on honest, natural images that let you relive the emotion of your day. My approach is simple: I tell the visual story without unnecessary interference. I blend in with your guests, stay alert for the small gestures and spontaneous moments — the tears, the laughter, the crazy dancing — and capture them in a reportage style that feels authentic rather than staged. That documentary reportage background comes from years as a staff photographer at the Brecon & Radnor Express and work for national press and PR clients, so timing, composition and telling detail are second nature. Working with me is relaxed and collaborative. Before the wedding I like to have a conversation about your day so I understand what matters to you. Many couples choose an engagement shoot — a gentle, informal session that helps us get to know each other and makes the wedding-day photography flow more naturally. On the day I aim to be unobtrusive yet present, creating professional wedding photos that reflect the mood and personality of your celebration. Although wedding photography is my core focus, my experience in events and press work gives me the edge when fast-moving moments matter. I’m used to adapting to venues across Mid Wales and beyond, and I know the area well, which helps with location choices and timing. My priority is always capturing the genuine connection and atmosphere that make each wedding unique. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Ebbw Vale who values authenticity, storytelling and calm professionalism, I’d love to hear about your plans. I’ll work with you to create a gallery of images that feel true to your day — memorable, timeless and made to be revisited for years to come.
