You’re drawn to emotion. Not perfection.

You want a wedding day you can actually enjoy – one that isn’t rushed, staged or performed for the camera. You’re drawn to emotion-led photography, and to working with someone who’ll help you plan the day in a way that gives you space to be present and truly be yourselves. Whether it’s just the two of you sharing a quiet moment in Eryri, or a celebration with your favourite people, kids and dogs included, this is the kind of day I’m here to plan and photograph. One where nothing is forced, everyone gets to be themselves, and the photographs follow the feeling rather than the plan. And if that sounds like your kind of wedding day, chances are we’ll get on brilliantly.

meet Babs, YOUR photographer

I’m a pretty laid-back Wales Elopement and Wedding Photographer based in the Clwydian Range, where I live with my husband, Rich, and our three slightly wild (but very lovable) collies. When we’re not working, you’ll usually find us bundled into the camper somewhere – wandering the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia), nosing around quiet beaches on the Llŷn Peninsula, or getting wonderfully lost in some corner of North Wales that was never the plan but somehow becomes the highlight. Life with our dogs is a joyful kind of chaos – always outdoors, always on the move – and a daily reminder that the best moments are the unplanned ones. Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to nature-led weddings and elopements across Wales, the “this feels SO ike us” sort of day.

testimonials
  • Pembrokeshire elopement couple exchanging vows beside a secret waterfall
    She helped us plan out our day and took us to some beautiful hidden gems that we would never have discovered ourselves.
    After finding Babs’s website and seeing her photos, it made us realise that it was an intimate elopement we truly wanted rather than a traditional wedding. We are so glad we followed our hearts because she was absolutely perfect for our elopement to South Wales!
  • Llyn Gwynant wedding couple hugging with their dog by the lakeside.
    Babs is a calm, trustworthy talented ray of sunshine who made our day feel so special.
    We wanted to avoid anything too posed or performative, and from our very first interaction we knew she was exactly the wedding photographer that we were looking for. She captured candid moments so beautifully and made not only us, but also our families, feel relaxed and at ease throughout the entire day.

At the very core of my photography: real connection and feelings above everything.

I’m here to create space for you so that you can be just yourselves, without anything rushed or forced. If it deepens your connection, we follow it; if it pulls you out of the moment, we leave it behind. The most powerful photographs aren’t crafted – they’re felt. And they begin with the two of you, exactly as you are.
