These two chose to have the most amazing Micro Wedding in Cardiff City Hall. We hopped over to Bute Park for some portraits afterwards. With hints of boho themes, keeping it natural we chose to have the beautiful golden hour light as our backdrop.

In December I had the absolute pleasure of documenting a Micro Wedding in Llanboidy, Carmarthenshire. After having just a few weeks to plan their wedding due to restrictions, Sam and Matthew gathered their friends and family to join in and help out.
Here are some of my favourite photos

Engagement Shoot | Sian & Stephen
At the beginning of the year Sian reached out to me asking for an engagement shoot. We had planned it for March, but when lockdown started we decided to reschedule to when restrictions lifted.
A whole 4 months later, we finally got to meet up and take some photos!

Staying creative in a Lockdown
Hello! For the first time in ages, I’m going something not related to weddings. Wow.
Another thing that happened this week was that I spent some time looking through my photography from my last year at university. Throughout my time at Cardiff Met I really did make the most of the free b/w film and camera rentals… It was the best. In my first year there I learned how to process and develop the film and I was hooked. You can see what I made HERE.
Since then, I’ve decided to spent this time of lockdown getting back to why I fell in love with photography in the first place, and in turn use the equipment I originally used.
My trusty Nikon D3200 with my 50mm 1.8 lens.
A couple of years ago I almost sold my old kit when I upgraded to full frame, but I am so so glad I kept onto it. I have no idea why, but this camera has a real skill of picking up colours my D750 doesn’t seem to be able to, and editing on my older camera is so much easier. Smaller RAW files, and always gives such a ‘film like’ look.
Needless to say I am very glad I didn’t end up selling my original kit, and I recommend to anyone to get back to using the camera that made you fall in love with photography, and that honestly it doesn’t matter at all how much your camera costs, you can still use whatever you have to creative some amazing pictures.
Hope you enjoyed this little blog, would love to know whether you want to see more of these.
Take care, Mary :)
