Natural, Relaxed Wedding Photography in Powys
If you are planning a wedding in Powys, you are probably looking for photography that feels natural and easy, and still captures the full atmosphere of the day.
I am Charlotte, the photographer behind McConnell Photography, based in Llandrindod Wells. I photograph weddings across Powys in a relaxed, documentary style, focusing on real moments, genuine expressions and the quieter parts of the day that often end up meaning the most.
From small town ceremonies to countryside weddings and larger celebrations, I aim to create images that feel like your day rather than a set of staged poses.

-
Rhayader
-
Builth Wells
-
Presteigne
-
Knighton
-
The Elan Valley, or anywhere across Powys
I can help guide you on locations, timings, and how to get the most from your photography.

My Approach to Wedding Photography
Weddings aren’t photoshoots, they’re real days with real emotions.
My approach is simple:
-
No awkward posing
-
No forced smiles
-
Just honest, story-driven photography
I focus on the moments you might miss:
-
Quiet glances
-
Big laughs
-
The in-between moments that actually matter
Pay What You Can Wedding Photography
I offer a flexible “Pay What You Can” option for couples who want beautiful photography without the pressure of fixed pricing.
This is ideal if:
-
You’re working with a tight budget
-
You value photography but need flexibility
-
You want something more accessible without compromising quality
Let’s create something beautiful
Your day, your way.
I’ll simply be there to capture it
Hi, I’m Charlotte- a Mid Wales wedding photographer with a heart for real moments.
Based among the rolling hills, I travel the length and breadth of Wales, Shropshire and Herefordshire capturing weddings that feel as genuine as the people at their centre. After years behind the lens, I’ve learned that the best photographs aren’t staged- they’re lived. That’s why my couples describe my work as relaxed, documentary-led and quietly creative.
“The photos you have produced are absolutely breathtaking. I am beyond grateful.”
