Hey there, thanks for stopping by! So I'm Chris and I'm a photographer living in Pencoed, Bridgend, in South Wales. I'm a wedding photographer, a Cadbury Twirl/chocolate orange addict, a gin connoisseur, and one of those annoying people who can quote every Friends episode off by heart. "I’m not great at the advice. Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?"

In September 2017 I myself got married to my beautiful wife Lois (that's us in the photo above, on our weddding day) so I know EXACTLY how you feel trying to find a wedding photographer for your big day who matches your style, plans and personality. And before you ask - no, I didn't photograph my own wedding!

We met in 2014, on Tinder (yup!) and got married in Croatia (Dubrovnik to be exact - the town where they film Game of Thrones). And as we like to do things a bit differently, Lois actually walked down the aisle to the Jurassic Park theme! Seriously!

As for me, I'm rarely found without my camera and absolutely love being behind the lens... but hate being in front of it. Yes, I'm a camera-shy photographer. I shoot weddings because I love authentic photography and I love people-watching, and what better place to photograph people being happy and genuine than at a wedding! Read more about my approach here.

Outside of photography:

The amazing South Wales sunsets are my favourite thing in the world!

You can usually find me listening to the Pixies, The Midnight, Fleetwood Mac, Nirvana, The Smiths, Otis Redding, or a movie soundtrack on vinyl... or binge-watching It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Friends, Scrubs, or Twin Peaks... or re-watching Scream, The Silence of the Lambs or True Romance for the 1,354th time. I also spend too much time making Spotify playlists.

I spend WAAAAY too long scrolling through Netflix trying to deciding what to watch.

I also love all things retro and vintage: my record player, record collection, my original Gameboy, Mega Drive and Polaroid cameras.

As you read this, chances are that I'm sipping on a cup of tea, eating custard creams and sending friends random Stone Cold Steve Austin gifs.

So please click here to read all about my style and approach, what makes me tick as a photographer and why I’d love to be part of your wedding!

And this image of me and our newborn on film when he was just a few weeks old was actually featured in Vogue Espana!
