Capturing the Big Day

World Photography Day – 8th August 2025

They say a picture is worth a thousand words — but on your wedding day, it’s worth even more. It’s the first look. The walk down the aisle. The secret smiles and sparkling shoes. The wind that caught your veil just right. These are the memories you’ll revisit again and again, long after the last glass of bubbly has been poured and the final sparkler has fizzled out.

That’s why, on World Photography Day, we want to shine a light on the talented photographers and videographers who make wedding memories eternal — one click at a time.

Why is Photography (and Videography) So Important?

Because when the day is over, your flowers will fade, the cake will be cut, and your dress will be packed away. But those captured moments — they last forever. Whether it’s the heartfelt speeches, your gran’s brilliant dancefloor moves, or a candid glance caught between vows, your wedding media is the legacy of your love.

Choosing to invest in the right team means you’ll never forget a thing — even the bits you missed on the day.

What Kind of Imagery Speaks to You?

Before booking, take a moment to consider what kind of style makes your heart skip a beat.

• Formal & Timeless – classic portraits and group shots, elegantly posed.

• Candid & Documentary – fly-on-the-wall storytelling that captures real emotion.

• Fun & Creative – bold edits, unexpected angles, and loads of personality.

Scroll Instagram, stalk portfolios, ask for full galleries. This is one supplier where you really want to do your homework.

Do You Really Like Them?

You’ll spend a good chunk of your day with your photographer or videographer — they’ll be there for nervous giggles, chaotic hair prep and quiet moments before your aisle walk. So make sure you genuinely get along.

Book in a call or engagement shoot to break the ice. The better they know you, the more your personality will shine in every frame.

Budget, But Make It Work

Prices can vary, but you’re not just paying for a day of photos — you’re investing in someone’s years of experience, editing time, and storytelling talent.

If full-day coverage is out of reach, explore shorter packages or opt for photography-only. Or perhaps prioritise a videographer who can build in stills as part of your keepsake.

Tech Extras That Add the Wow

If you’re looking to up the fun and interaction, there are some brilliant modern twists couples are loving:

• Photo booths – from vintage to glam, with instant prints and fun props.

• QR Code Uploads – let your guests share their candid snaps to one easy link.

• Disposable Cameras – leave them on tables for that retro party vibe.

• Snapchat or Instagram Filters – customised for your wedding theme.

• Same-Day Slideshows – for a tear-jerking moment during the evening party.

And Finally…

Whoever you choose, make sure they know your vibe, your vision and what matters most to you. At Tyn Dwr Hall, we’re always happy to recommend trusted professionals who know the venue like the back of their hand — and who’ll find all the secret corners and golden-hour magic.

So this World Photography Day, let’s raise a camera (or a phone!) to the people who make the memories last.
