Planning your wedding? With over 39 years of experience, Paul Davies is a trusted photographer based in Sketty, Swansea, who specializes in capturing the real, heartfelt moments of your big day. His natural, photo-journalistic style means he tells your wedding story as it happens—without interrupting the flow—so you can stay fully present and enjoy every moment.
Paul has photographed more than 800 weddings, giving him a deep understanding of the emotions and rhythm of a wedding day. He’s a proud member of the Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers (LSWPP) and the British Professional Photographers Association, ensuring professional standards and quality. His work has also been recognized as a finalist in the Welsh National Wedding Awards in both 2018 and 2019—proof of his commitment to excellence.
Paul’s approach is all about capturing your day as it naturally unfolds. His relaxed, candid style is perfect for couples who want genuine memories rather than staged poses. He blends seamlessly into the background, so your photos reflect the true atmosphere and emotions of your celebration. While his main focus is documentary-style photography, he’s happy to include traditional portraits if you wish. Before your wedding, Paul visits your venue to get familiar with the space and lighting, ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day.
Every wedding is unique, and Paul offers flexible packages tailored to your needs and budget, including:
All packages include fully edited, high-resolution images delivered on a USB drive, plus a password-protected online gallery to easily share your memories with family and friends. If you want a beautiful physical keepsake, high-quality printed albums are available. For even more comprehensive coverage, you can also arrange a second photographer at an additional cost.
All weddings are memorable one way or another. The one that sticks out most was April 2021 in Windsor Town Hall that took place at the same time and just across the the road from the funeral of HRH Prince Philip. Crazy day with all the security we had to go through, having a minutes silence during the ceremony and then the bride and groom being interviewed by the BBC ans Sky TV !
Fun, relaxed, fun, modern, fun !
How it has changed me as a person over the last few years. I really love what I do and it seems to show when I am working.
Don't go to more that 3 or 4 wedding fayres. You will end up more confused than when you started. Find a photographer you like and will get on with. Don't think that the most expensive is the best. Most importantly, checkout their website & social media to see their work and make sure you like their style of photography.

After booking, always available to answer questions. Arrange a video call with both about 4 weeks before the big day to run through and gather final information. A telephone call the day before to let them know you will be there and at what time !
Confetti !

Don't panic ! Let me worry about the weather. It's Wales. It's not like I haven't shot a wedding in the rain before !
I had my first camera at the age of 14 when a photographic shop opened near my home. I got to know the manager who helped me & I later became good friends. I even worked for him for a time ! He encouraged me to go to college to study photography & here I am today 30 plus years later still working in the industry & loving it !
