Eyes2Me Photography is the wedding specialist for couples in Gelligaer, Caerphilly and across South Wales. Founded by James (Jim) Matthews in 2010 and built on over 40 years of photographic experience, Eyes2Me focuses on authentic, unobtrusive wedding photography that preserves the real moments of your day. As an accredited Master Photographer and member of the British Institute of Professional Photographers and the Wedding Guild of Wales, Jim combines technical expertise with a warm, people-first approach. Why choose Eyes2Me? Jim’s style is candid documentary — he works quietly with modern, silent mirrorless cameras to capture laughter, tears, and the small, meaningful details that make each wedding unique. Rather than forcing poses or running through long photo lists, he prioritises natural interactions so your photographs feel honest, relaxed and timeless. Many couples describe the experience as comfortable and fun; Jim’s friendly manner helps even camera-shy guests feel at ease. How Jim works with couples: from the first enquiry to your final gallery, Eyes2Me is hands-on and personal. Jim listens to your priorities, outlines a clear plan for the day and adapts to the rhythm of your celebration. On the wedding day he blends into the background to document moments as they unfold, stepping in only when a few quick portraits or group shots are wanted. After the event, images are carefully edited and delivered via an online gallery for easy sharing and ordering. What sets Eyes2Me apart is the combination of decades of experience, recognised accreditation, and a genuine respect for people and their stories. Jim’s work has been described as magazine-worthy and consistently earns praise for being reliable, relaxed and unobtrusive. While weddings are the core speciality, Eyes2Me also photographs family and other events when required — always with the same candid, story-driven approach. If you’re planning a wedding in Gelligaer, Caerphilly or anywhere in South Wales and want professional wedding photos that transport you back to your day, Eyes2Me Photography offers experienced, award-recognised coverage with a warm, natural touch.
