Joanna + Tim | Creative + Colourful Cardiff Wedding

After having to postpone to 2021, Joanna + Tim were able to finally celebrate with their friends and family in the beautiful city of Cardiff. Having their ceremony at the beautiful Cardiff Registry Office, followed by reception at St Catherines Hall in Pontcanna. Nestled in the grounds of a church, with plenty of space for outdoor games. It was the perfect place for an outdoors reception. Read more to see some photos of their colourful and creative wedding day.

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.

Ofcourse I jumped for joy as it would be my first wedding of 2021. Here are some of my favourite photos from the day.
