This is us
Team o&c started back in 2007 when we left Oxford and moved back West to Pembrokeshire. We set out to start a photography business that wanted to capture the joy in the normal in a natural and relaxed way. You know, like the photos your mum or dad used to take of you, that capture you being yourself, that bring you back to the smells, sounds and moment that that photo was taken, except, better and without your dad’s thumb over the lens. Now more than a decade later, with the addition of two amazing kids, and pushing over 300 weddings we are still just as excited when we arrive at someones special day. It is an absolute honour to get to photograph wedding and so much fun to do them together as a husband and wife team. We love what we do and hope that you do too. We are beyond lucky to have couples that allow us to play a part in the wedding. The one’s who’s eyes say yes before their brain does. Them who get the giggles. Those who just “do them”, that stamp on the cookie cutter type weddings to create days that are celebrations of who they are as a unit. These are the stories that we love to capture and give you images so you can keep in telling and retelling them for years to come.
Here is a little bit of us….

YES! // You can't beat fish and chips at the end of a good beach walk in my humble opinion. // A good pick and mix, but not just jelly sweets. You have to throw chocolate and fudge in for the full taste sensation! // The pure genius of Wes Anderson's use of symmetry.
