Cardiff City Hall Modern Micro Wedding | Lawrence + Ayah

Lawrence and Ayah chose to keep it small and have their closest friends and family with them when they tied the knot.
We started the day at St Davids Hotel in Cardiff Bay where they both got ready, and then we went to Cardiff Museum to get some portraits. The sun was shining for them, and only rained as we travelled. Making me a very happy photographer!
Their small and intimate wedding reception was held in The Ivy in Cardiff’s St David’s centre.

Camera Shy? No problem | Mary W-Thomas Photo + Film

Probably the most common thing that’s said to me when I first chat to couples, is that they are a little bit camera shy. They don’t like posing but want some natural and relaxed portraits on their wedding day, Now I’m not the kind of person that create moments by posing people, but I do have a few tricks on ways to get natural shots on your wedding day. If you had looked through my portfolio, you won’t see a single person looking awkward or acting uncomfortable. That’s because I make sure people feel comfortable and confident.

  1. Make them Laugh

    If you have known me for any amount of time, you will know I love to make people laugh. It’s by the far the best way to make people feel comfortable. Taking away any nerves, and making people instantly feel relaxed.

2. Focus on each other

My second tip is to focus on each other. I know this is difficult when you’re not used to being in front of the camera, but focusing on your partner. You’ll forget I’m there, and you can enjoy those moments as well as capturing authentic emotion on camera.
