Powys Weddings
Powys is the largest county in Wales and one of the most sparsely populated — a landscape of Brecon Beacons moorland, the upper Wye and Severn valleys, ancient hillforts, and romantic mid-Wales countryside. For couples seeking wedding photography in a truly wild, unhurried natural landscape, Powys is without equal.
From the World Heritage gardens of Powis Castle near Welshpool to the atmospheric Victorian reservoir at Lake Vyrnwy, the literary town of Hay-on-Wye, and the raw mountain landscapes of the Brecon Beacons, I'll capture every detail of your Powys wedding with honesty and artistry.
