Me and my husband (Darren & Geraint - both grooms) wanted a photographer that could capture all of the day, with all of the special moments. Neither of us has been married before and were nervous of all of the separate pieces of the whole day, especially having family and friends there.
Paul & Jacs (from Studio Cwtch Photography) couldn't have made the day more perfect. They put both of us at ease immediately and directed the whole event so we always knew where we needed to be, plus the final pictures at sooooo fantastic!!!!!
When setting up a shot they don't just tell what to do, they show you. If I had to redo the entire day again, which neither me or my husband have any intention to do, we would still pick Studio Cwtch. The amount of emails and messages I am getting mentioning certain shots and individual pictures is unbelievable.
Summing it up in a few words "Pick Studio Cwtch Photography - you will not regret it"
Best wishes to Paul & Jacs (Studio Cwtch)

What can I say? There just aren't enough words to describe Paul & Jacs! From the moment we met them at a Wedding Fayre, it felt like we had known them for years! Such a lovely couple who make everything seem so easy, which is great for someone like me who hates to be in front of a camera! On our Wedding Day, Paul & Jacs went above and beyond their role! From helping me get into my dress, lacing it up, shutting the door on the chaos outside and calming me down, to running around, crawling through the grass and lying on the floor all to get the perfect shot!
Even after our 'romantics' were done, Jacs came running over saying that the sunset was amazing and it was too good to miss, making their day longer and workload bigger! But that didn't matter to them - it was us and our photos that mattered and that really showed. And now these sunset ones are my absolute favourite! Thank you both so much, you really captured our day perfectly and we will treasure the photos for years to come!

A big thank you from both of us for helping to make our wedding day as special as it was. Here are just a few of the wonderful memories of our wedding day on February 25th 2022 at Chapel 1877 in Cardiff, captured so beautifully by Paul and Jacs.
Paul and Jacs were so professional but at the same time, very personal without being intrusive. From the first time we spoke with them and then met them, they put us at ease, and really listened to our wishes for the day.
On the day itself not only did they take such lovely photos as we had discussed, but there were many informal shots that really captured the spirit and enjoyment of the day. We both think that having two photographers working together ensured that no special moment was missed and that the same shot could be captured from a different angle. We would absolutely recommend them as the photographers for whatever occasion you are planning. It was also great that that the draft photos were sent over for us to choose from, only a short while after the wedding.

Paul and Jacs or studio cwtch as it's now known is run by two very friendly very helpful knowledgeable photographers. We first found them via a Groupon offer and have never looked back. We used them for our wedding and were so happy we did. Couldn't be more happy with the photos, the pre-wedding photos and their level of service from start to end. If you are looking for a professional friendly reliable photographer then look no further.

A lady in a bridal shop happened to tell me about Paul and Jacs when I was looking for my dress and I'm so glad she did. From the minute we met them we knew they were the people we wanted to share and capture our wedding day. Throughout all of the wedding planning I second guessed the venue we chose, the dress I picked and every other detail that we wanted to be perfect, but we never second guessed choosing Paul and Jac to be our photographers and they completely lived up to all of our hopes.
From giving advice before the wedding when we were stressing out, to re-pinning my hair on the day when it was all falling down, they couldn't do enough for us and made our day so much more special because they were there with us. Every one of our guests spoke about how brilliant they were and they made having your picture taken so enjoyable. The way they capture your day is so special and they have become such lovely friends. Planning a wedding is so stressful that you sometimes forget that it's supposed to be joyful and exciting, Paul and Jac made it just that for us and we are so glad for the both of them.

Dear Paul and Jacs, Where do we begin? Your beautiful photography captured our family in moments of tenderness, warmth, and joy. Patience and creativity were Jacs best assets during our Wedding day she was not only my photographer but my maid of honour helping me into my dress, My nanny helping my daughters get dressed and just for good measure she even through in a therapy session when I had my bridezilla moment and kept everyone away and through all of that never once stopped smiling or helping. Paul was at a separate location capturing all of the moments with the Men and teaching them tricks of the trade.
I feel like I was there with them the laughs and the bonding moments were captured so naturally, I could have been in the room! Paul and Jacs are just AMAZING as a couple and photographers, they agreed to be our photographers only 4 DAYS before the wedding as our chosen photographer took ill, we didn't meet them until the wedding morning but their commitment to making our day special made us feel like they were old family friends and had been on the Guest list from the beginning.
They stayed right up until the point I had previously asked them to even though we ran over a little on time so thankful for that. Now to the Pictures WOW WOW WOW! simply Amazing we felt like we lived the whole day again when we viewed the slide show DVD and the music that Paul and Jacs chose was just perfect, we had never heard the song before but it just fit perfectly. We are speechless from the breadth of emotions and life you captured in the photos for the day, deep and profound love, bliss, joy, abandoned happiness and so much more. They were beautiful and in turn made us and our guests beautiful. So Glad you did our wedding photography the pictures, experience and personalities of both of you made our special day!

We cannot recommend Paul and Jacs enough. Upon first meeting they were professional but relaxed. We felt instantly at ease with them both. On the day of the wedding Paul and Jacs couldn't have been more fantastic. They organised 120 people with ease and humour and sped through the photos, which we had requested didn't take up too much time! They took a mixture of formal 'posing' photos combined with natural shots.
During the evening we barely knew they were there. They didn't impose themselves or get in the way of any of the proceedings. Upon receipt of our photos I was blown away. Paul and Jacs had managed to capture every single moment of our day. The images were everything I could have hoped for and more. I now have some beautiful memories of our special day and it's all thanks to their wonderful photography.
