Babs Boardwell Photography

Babs is incredible in every respect you could imagine! It was so easy, fun, and comfortable shooting with her. She was so quick to reply, answer any questions, make any adjustments, and just provided such a comfortable space for us to really be ourselves. She was our first experience of having professional photos and I cannot believe how comfortable and easy she made it. Her tips and suggestions were great, and she was a blast the entire time.

Babs is brilliant! Easy going, fun, made us feel relaxed on our wedding day. I have spent hours going through photos of photographers in Wales, and her style completely appealed to us, so atmospheric and gorgeous, and really capturing the beauty of nature around you which was so important to us, a true gem. The memories we created will last a lifetime. Thank you Babs, we hope to see you for another shoot!

Honestly couldn't recommend this lovely lady more! If you love the outdoors, want a truly special and tailored wedding day which doesn't feel impacted or lead by staged photos then Babs is absolutely for you.As soon as I found Babs on instagram, I knew that she had to be a part of our day. The natural, candid, genuine moments she has captured throughout our day are memories I will cherish forever. The communication I had with Babs on the run up was excellent, she took exactly the vibe we wanted of a small wedding and then an adventure with our guests afterwards and helped us tailor our day to exactly that. Even with a last minute change the day before to due us slightly over estimating our adventure location, she was calm and collected and managed to bring this stress head back down to earth.Her presence and personality on the day was perfect. She wasn't pushy, she didn't make everyone pose - everything was natural and candid, just as we wanted it to be. She was friendly and chatty with my friends and family - they couldn't speak more highly of her and she's often an extremely positive talking point of the success of our day.It wouldn't have been the same without Babs and the moments she's captured will live on forever will us. Thank you for being a part of our day and making it so special!

If you are looking for a photographer who will: fully embrace who you are as a couple, laugh with you, celebrate with you, ensure your dog is looking at the camera and take incredible pre wedding photos of you in amazing places, then Babs is the one for you. She loves the outdoors and capturing your day as it unfolds. Most of our wedding day we saw Babs more as one of our guests than our photographer. She put everyone at ease - even my husband who doesn’t really enjoy having his photo taken! We couldn’t have asked for a more down to Earth and genuinely lovely person to photograph our wedding day - not to mention that she is awesome at what she does! Despite having numerous weddings in one weekend, she still managed to get some sneak peeks shots to us within the week to keep the magic of our day going! Thank you Babs - we will be recommending you to all our family and friends.

We had a wonderful family photoshoot with Babs and it was such a great experience. Babs was very flexible with timings to accommodate for some unpredictable weather. She did a fantastic job of putting us all at ease and bringing out the kids cheeky personalities. The resulting photos were better than I could have dreamed, and we will treasure them forever. I couldn't recommend Babs enough for magical keepsake family photos.

I wish I could give all the stars! During summer 2020 my Wife and I decided to cancel our big wedding and have a tiny registry office wedding and then a post-wedding adventure trip to Snowdonia where we pencilled in a shoot in the mountains with Babs. We met at a little pub and drove up together to a spot near a lake where we clambered out and headed up for some photos! Babs brought her gorgeous dogs too which was a treat, they loved it as much as us!Babs made us comfortable from the first second. She is the kind of photographer who runs her business like family, getting to know you personally before the big day. We had had loads of chats before we met so it kind of felt like meeting a friend! We were nervous and didn't know what to expect but Babs made us feel so at home.. Which is kind of mad seeing as we were 100 miles from our home and up to our thighs in the middle of a lake in Wales!! Babs led the shoot with a comforting sureness, so we had no awkward moments of finding a good pose or spot ourselves. It was really easy. We treasure the memories of our adventure that day just as much as the photos. It was beautiful time with my new wife and a spectacular adventure. Even when it was pouring with rain!I'm not even sure where to start with the photos that Babs captured. Oh my god, they are so dreamy, dramatic and stunning. I'm not sure if this will make sense.. but they *look* how it *felt* to be stood on a mountain kissing my wife. Just magic.If you're looking for a Photographer that will match your enthusiasm, plan something incredibly special and capture dreamy photographs for you.. I can promise that Babs is the right choice.

Babs is absolutely incredible, we are so greatful for everything she did to help us with our wedding. Having rescheduled our wedding 4 times due to Covid, Babs went out of her way to ensure she would be there to photograph our wedding, and arranged a second photographer (big thanks to Huw too!)She managed to capture the essence of our wedding with each photo. Thank you so much Babs!

Babs is absolutely brilliant at what she does, a true professional with the perfect vibe!We knew we wanted a romantic elopement and found Babs website online, which was exactly what we were thinking and more! Right from the first phone call we were made to feel really comfortable and felt like everything would work really well but nothing could have prepared us for just how well!Babs helped plan our elopement, putting great effort into giving us options and taking the time to understand what we wanted from the day. As it was just the two of us (and our dogs!) it understandable to be a bit apprehensive about spending your wedding day with someone who is (initially) a stranger, but you need not worry with Babs.She knew exactly when to fade into the background and when to step in to give us a bit of direction for certain pictures while also being happy to go with our own suggestions. Babs really did help make our special day just perfect, and the pictures we received remind us constantly that we made the right choice.Thank you Babs!
