Documentary Wedding Photographer South Wales | Owen Mathias Photography

Be present. Be in love.

Being there with the people you love,

Your day won’t be perfect.
It’ll be real.

Full of meaning, chaos, laughter, and love.

It’s not about getting it perfect.
It’s about feeling it fully.

Not every moment is polished.
But every one of them matters.

I’m there for the glances, the squeezes, the tears—
the stuff that makes it yours.

You don’t need to perform.
You just need to show up.

Full of meaning, chaos, laughter, and love.

You live it.
You love it.
You let go.

Your day won’t be staged.
It’ll be real.

Skip the stiff smiles.
Ditch the shot list.
Let the day unfold.

This isn’t about the ‘best day ever.’
It’s about your day, exactly as it happens.

Not every photo will be flawless.
But every one will be full of feeling.

No pressure. No pretence.

You don’t have to plan for the perfect photo.

You don’t need to perform.
You just need to show up.

Be silly.
Be honest.
Be in it.

Get muddy.
Get sweaty.
Get married your way.

Run late.
Ruin your hair.
Snog in front of your nan.

Forget perfection.
Feel everything.
Be fully there.
I’ll take care of the rest.

What my couples say matters more than anything I could tell you.

Working with Owen was effortless. He took the time to get to know me really well and understood exactly what it was that I was looking for. He never got in the way and made everyone feel comfortable. He thinks out of the box and captures some amazing memories. When we had the link to view the photos, we sat down as a family, laughed and cried. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. The photos are perfect and a true reflection of how we are.

Numerous guests mentioned to us afterwards that it didn’t feel like there was a professional photographer there, just one of the guests with a camera. This is exactly the vibe we wanted, and why we contacted Owen in the first place. Owen just mingled with everyone and was just as much a part of the amazing day we had as any other guest.

Having Owen with us was fantastic from start to finish, he put us at ease and fit in seamlessly with our guests throughout the day.

Never intrusive, always patient and kind, he didn’t miss a moment. The photos capture our day from start to finish perfectly, embodying the essence of the day and providing a full picture of what a fantastic day it was.
