The photos and video are absolutely stunning – we can relive the whole day whenever we want. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer and videographer in Cardiff, Shutter Hire is the one!
Sarah & Tom - January 2025
We had our newborn session at Katrina’s studio in Dinas Powys and it was such a lovely experience. She made us feel so comfortable and handled our little one with so much care. The images are beautiful and something we’ll treasure forever. Couldn’t recommend Shutter Hire’s newborn photography highly enough.
Emma & James - May 2025
Katrina did a family photoshoot for us at a park in Cardiff and it was brilliant. She made everyone feel relaxed (even our dog!), and the photos captured our personalities perfectly.
