I’m Carl Woodward, a South Wales based wedding photographer specialising in natural, documentary-style photography. I aim to take stunning photos of you and your loved ones on your big day.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions or would like to talk about your wedding plans.
Bridgend Wedding Photography
My wedding photography style focuses on capturing natural images as they happen. I combine this with creative portraits of the bride and groom. This is the perfect mix for every wedding, which allows you to relax while ensuring I capture stunning images for your wedding album. You can look at my portfolio gallery for examples of my work or check out my social media on Instagram and Facebook.
Documentary Style
Documentary is a style of photography which allows me to capture images in an unobtrusive way that you will cherish. Each wedding day has different stages, and there are timeless photos that tell the story of you as a couple. Highlights include the bride’s arrival, the best man and groomsmen, the bridal procession, the exchange of rings, the vows, the first kiss, the wedding reception, speeches, the cutting of the cake, the first dance, and the bouquet toss. Bridgend is the perfect location with so many places you can choose for your wedding ceremony.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a wedding photographer cost?
This is a difficult question to answer as it depends on the level of experience and equipment that the wedding photographer has. However, generally speaking, wedding photography can cost anywhere from £1,000 – £2,000+ per day in South Wales depending on what you are looking for.
When should you book your wedding Photographer?
As with most things involved in organising weddings, the best time to book a wedding photographer is as early as possible. Most couples are planning their weddings at least 12 to 18 months ahead.
What does wedding photography include?
Weddings have many essential moments throughout the wedding day. So, I usually cover a wedding, from the bride getting ready to the first dance and the party in the evening. All my packages include digital photographs, and you can choose to buy one of my bespoke wedding albums.
Do I need a wedding photographer?
While it’s not compulsory, most couples find that having a professional photographer document their special day is highly beneficial – not only for themselves but also for anyone who may want to view the photographs years down the line. It can be tempting to ask a friend or relative, but many examples have led to unfavourable results that can’t be resolved afterwards.
