Your wedding day goes fast — my job is to capture it exactly as it felt. From the quiet moments in the morning to the laughter during speeches and the energy of the evening, I document the story naturally as it unfolds.
I’ll guide you when needed (especially for group photos and couple portraits), but most of the day I blend in so you can be present and enjoy every moment.
Katrina was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She captured every detail of our Cardiff wedding perfectly, from the morning preparations through to the evening party. We now have the most stunning collection of photographs to look back on forever.
We were blown away by how natural and relaxed Katrina made us feel on the day. Nothing felt staged or forced, and the photos are beyond beautiful. She caught so many candid moments that we didn’t even realise were happening. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in South Wales.
Katrina is so talented and professional. Our wedding photos tell the full story of the day, and every time we look through our album it feels like we’re reliving it all over again. We couldn’t have asked for more.
From our first meeting, Katrina made us feel so comfortable and confident in her. On the wedding day she blended in like a guest, but somehow managed to capture everything, we hired her for the ultimate package and it didn't disappoint.
