Message from the team

Name of Wedding Contact: Peter
Thanks for checking out our award winning wedding photography. This is genuinely my lifelong passion. Last year was incredible as our dedication to wedding photography paid off and we were asked to teach by the camera company, Canon. Offering you a complimentary engagement experience allows us to share with you our experience and education without you committing to or spending a single penny. It's the perfect way to start your wedding planning.

a master behind the camera

I just wanted to say first of all, I am not one to leave reviews, however, I cannot let this go unsaid. Morgan James Photography was not only a master behind the camera but also a true professional. We wanted to say a huge thank you for creating and capturing such incredible photos of our wedding day. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor and made us feel at ease. You made us feel like you were a friend from the beginning to end.

Cannot recommend Peter enough!

Cannot recommend Peter enough! We hired Peter as our wedding photographer after having an amazing engagement shoot with him. Both Peter and Paul turned up for the wedding exactly on time and were taking images non stop all day. They were both a joy to have with us. They were extremely attentive, kind, accommodating and caring especially with my elderly grandparents (thank you so much for that!). They both are very good at their job and you can tell.

On the day, he went above and beyond to make sure he captured our day

I am so glad that I found Peter to be our wedding photographer. He is very professional and passionate about what he does! We were anxious about finding our wedding photographer because both of us were not used to being in front of cameras. We had our complimentary engagement shoot with Peter, and once we started working with him and saw his passion, we knew he was the one we wanted and booked him right away! On the day, he went above and beyond to make sure he captured our day, and for that, we are grateful! Thank you, Peter!

The shoot felt so natural and we got some beautiful shots

We had our engagement shoot with Peter yesterday and had a fantastic experience. Even my fiance (who usually hates having his photo taken) really enjoyed the shoot! The shoot felt so natural and we got some beautiful shots, Peter is so passionate and knowledgeable and brought a lot of laughter and energy to the day. Thank you!

Beautiful pictures and a great experience

My partner Sian and I loved the photos Peter and Paul took at our wedding. Their attention to detail is second to none, even re doing all the ties for the dads as they weren't right. You'd be mad not to use him for your photography. These guys are ace

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

We recently had a Russian, Greek orthodox wedding. Some of the customs are absolutely bizarre including the groom having to drink shots of vodka from his future mother in-law's shoe. Whilst we didn't partake, we had an awesome day and captured some incredible memories for a beautiful couple.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Fun, Energetic, Dynamic, Classic, Cinematic

What about your business are you most proud of?

We hand pick all of our gifts, products, and specialty photo and wall art. We take great care to provide the highest quality for you on your special day.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Spend out on your photography. Don't opt for a lower budget. After the cake is eaten, the flowers have wilted and the chair covers returned, this is the only way to remember your special day in its entirety.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Wooden engraved Welsh love spoons - oh and Welsh Cakes!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

From your first meeting with us at the engagement shoot trial to the first viewing of your images, we take pride in your experience. We know you're going to love it but we don't want to give too much away!

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

The Kiss.... obviously! - oh and Sparklers .... gotta love some sparklers!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

How about a groom being asked to drink Vodka from his future Mother-in-Law's shoe? Apparently, it's an old Russian custom.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Big, see through umbrella. Lots of coloured parasols and possibly a raincoat?

Describe how you got into photography.

I wanted to take better pictures of my children and picked up a camera after seeing school photos of them and deciding that "I could do better". I photographed a few friends weddings and now over 12 years on and over 100 weddings later I know I made the right decision.
