Multi-award-winning wedding specialist in Gorseinon and South Wales. Karl Baker captures natural, candid wedding photos and relaxed engagement shoots to help you feel confident on your wedding day.
Hey — I’m Karl, a full‑time, multi‑award‑winning wedding photographer based in Gorseinon, South Wales. Weddings are my passion and my specialist focus. Over more than a decade in the field I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings (including destination days across Europe) and developed a calm, unobtrusive approach that lets moments unfold naturally. My aim is simple: create authentic, vibrant wedding photos that feel like you — full of emotion, light and atmosphere. What makes my work different is a documentary-led style combined with confident portrait work when you want it. I blend into your day to capture the candid laughter, quiet glances and the unscripted details that you’ll want to relive again and again. When the moment calls for a more formal portrait, I guide couples gently so you get flattering, timeless images without interrupting your celebration. How I work with couples matters as much as the photos I deliver. From our first chat I focus on listening — your plans, the moments you care about, and any special logistics your venue needs. I offer relaxed pre-wedding (engagement) shoots so you can get comfortable in front of the camera and we can trial locations and light. On the day I bring a calm, organised presence, working around your timeline and blending into the background so you can enjoy the occasion. While wedding photography is my core specialism, I also provide professional video add‑ons and aerial/drone coverage where appropriate and permitted. These options are available to enhance your wedding story, not to replace the candid, photojournalistic coverage I specialise in. I’m fully insured for UK and European work and comfortable working at coastal Gower venues, city locations across Swansea and Cardiff, or further afield for destination weddings. Choosing a wedding photographer is about trust as much as style. Couples frequently tell me my calming manner and attention to detail make their day easier — and the photos do the rest. If you’re planning a Gorseinon or South Wales wedding and want natural, professional wedding photography from a specialist, let’s talk. I offer a free 30‑minute consultation to discuss your day and make sure we’re the right fit.
