Colourful, fun and joyful wedding photography in Cardiff and beyond!

My name is Carmel McCabe (she/her) and yep! You guessed it – I’m a wedding photographer!

I mean, that’s why you’re here right?!

I’m not just a wedding photographer, I’m a wedding fanatic! And I love to share in couples special day, celebrate their love and help them shout it from the rooftops!

I BLOODY LOVE LOVE!

I believe that every day is different and should be a completely individual experience. This is why I keep the basics simple, and tailor the details to suit you.

What I love most is to create colourful & fun photography in a friendly way, keepin' it real, relaxed and perfectly imperfect! All those wonderful spontaneous moments in between, the personalised vows, the shapes you throw on the dance floor, all the cuddles, the happy tears and the signature cocktails - i’m here for it all and i’m here for YOU!

So here I am, just a girl (virtually) standing in front of some awesome couple, asking them…

Do you wanna have a party?! (And can I photograph it?!)

“I couldn't recommend her enough, it's like having a friend with you on your special day and her work is pure magic!”

Judgement-free, no expectations and fully inclusive wedding photography.

Alternative? Traditional? Let’s drop the labels and just have a knees up!

I’ll give you the space, encouragement and confidence to make authentic choices about your wedding day and feel supported in your decisions.

I believe in good people and good times, and I don’t subscribe to labels. The truth is, whether you feel alternative or traditional (or anywhere in-between), your wedding is YOUR wedding and therefore it's unique, individual and beautiful. Let's work together to fit the awesome pieces of your wedding puzzle together!

My job is to simply to capture all that joy and beauty (bloody hell, I'm so lucky!!) And make sure you & your guests are having the BEST TIME EVERRRR!

Let's prioritise those spontaneous moments, encourage the silly-ness, embrace the 'imperfections' and just let that raw love & joy shine through!

Whether you choose a church, your grandads' greenhouse or your local village hall, skulls on your wedding cake or no cake at all, I’m here to make you feel comfortable, joyful and to capture those precious memories. No judgements, no expectations, and never any labels.
