Professional Wedding photographer
Let me start by thanking you for visiting my site.
Hi, I’m Carl a Cardiff Wedding Photographer.
You are probably already excited about your wedding and your plans are well underway. You have seen my photographs and you are still here, so it must be that you are considering me to be your Wedding photographer in Cardiff. You can have a lasting memory of your special day with me by creating memories you will treasure for the rest of your life.
Carl Woodward Photography is the right choice if you are looking for a professional and stress-free experience.
Why would you hire a Cardiff wedding photographer ?
It's okay to be hesitant about hiring a Cardiff Wedding Photographer. Many people don’t realize the value of wedding photography until it's too late. The simple goal of a photographer at your wedding is to capture every moment and let you relive the experience in years to come.
An experienced Cardiff Wedding Photographer like me will capture images that are powerful and elicit strong emotions when you look at them later. It is important to be transported back in the past and experience all the emotions you felt on your wedding day.
Passionate wedding photographers help you to remember every detail, such as the layout of the venue and decorations. It is a great way to show your appreciation for the hard work that went into creating the perfect event.
Also, it's important to note that you cannot choose another photographer after the wedding. After the wedding begins, you can't change your mind or pick another photographer. It is important to choose the best photographer for your wedding in Cardiff.
How to find the best Wedding Photographer In Cardiff for your big day
When it comes to choosing a photographer, there are some key points. They should be able to use a camera. This is the most important. They should be professional wedding photographers. It is possible to hire a friend or hobbyist with a camera, but it is not something I recommend. There are many ways to capture moments and techniques. Expertise is key.
It is important to ensure that the photographer you choose is trustworthy. A photographer who is late for your wedding will send your stomach churning faster than any other.
You should also consider the personality of your photographer. You should remember that they will be spending the day with you. I'm fun, easy-going and available to help you and your family connect with your guests and family.

What to Expect From Your Cardiff Wedding Photographer
Your photographer must capture your special day in the best possible way. If you choose me, I’ll blend in with the background and I'll take continuous photos of the day. As I move around the venue, I will keep everyone smiling, laughing, and dancing. I'm not there to steal the show away from the couple. I'm here for the love of the couple and to capture the entire story of their wedding day.
How does your schedule look for your Cardiff wedding?
My schedule revolves around yours and is fairly predictable. You can call me or send me an email to discuss your schedule.
I prefer to arrive about two to three hours before the ceremony. The bride and her preparations, as well as the landscape and wedding venues, will be captured in great detail. When you get ready to walk down the aisle, these photos are often the "still before storm" shots, as you get excited and nervous.
I will also be getting to know the people at the party. Understanding the personalities of each person allows me to better adapt my photography to capture them. I can take fun photos of my friends if they are the silliest.
We will discuss any surprises and your schedule so that I am always there at the right moment. Depending on the package you choose, I will be there for the entire evening celebrations or just the first dance.
Carl Woodward Photography: what do you Get?
