Documentary Wedding Photographer South Wales Andrew HazardYour wedding isn’t a photoshoot; it’s a celebration. I’m Andrew Hazard, a documentary-style wedding photographer dedicated to capturing the honest, unscripted moments that define your day. Based in South Wales, I frequently document weddings across London and travel extensively for destination weddings in Majorca.
My approach is simple: I stay unobtrusive and focus on the raw emotion of the moment. Whether you are hosting a rustic celebration in a Welsh valley, a chic city wedding in St. James's, or a sunset ceremony on a Mediterranean coastline, I capture the laughter, the tears, and the quiet details that others might miss.
In 2026, professional wedding photography in South Wales typically ranges from £1,350 to £2,500 for full-day coverage. My packages are customized based on the time of year, location, and specific requirements to ensure you get the best value for your celebration. My packages start from £400 - £2250 include editing, and online delivery.
Living in Wales, I am always prepared for the weather! I carry professional lighting equipment to create stunning indoor portraits at your venue (like the grand halls of Hensol Castle or the rustic interiors of St Tewdrics House). Some of the most atmospheric "Welsh wedding" photos happen when we embrace the mist or rain.
I have over 26 years of experience shooting at many of the top venues across Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, and Monmouthshire. However, even if your venue is new to me, I always conduct a site visit eforehand to scout the best light and unique "hidden gem" locations for your photos.
It is a "hands-off" approach where I focus on capturing raw, unscripted emotions as they happen. Instead of stiff posing, I document the laughter, the quiet glances, and the energy of your guests. This style is perfect for couples who want to enjoy their day without feeling like they are on a photoshoot.
This approach is ideal for couples who feel self-conscious in front of the camera, as it allows you to enjoy your wedding naturally without ever being asked to pose.
Coverage is flexible - from a few hours to full-day coverage from bridal prep through to the first few dance, depending on your plans.
Yes, I photograph weddings across South Wales, London, the UK, and Majorca, and I’m happy to travel for destination weddings.

Yes. While I usually work alone to stay discreet, for weddings with 100+ guests or multiple locations (e.g. the groom getting ready in a different town), I can bring a trusted colleague to ensure every angle is covered.
