Relaxed Wedding Photography at Ty Glyn, West Wales

If you’re planning a wedding at Tŷ Glyn and the idea of spending half the day posing for photos fills you with dread — you’re in the right place.

Tŷ Glyn is a beautifully renovated wedding venue in West Wales that suits couples who want their day to feel calm, personal, and unfussy. It’s the kind of place where things don’t need forcing — which makes it ideal for relaxed, natural wedding photography. And honestly, it’s bloody stunning.

A wedding venue that doesn’t need over-directing

One of the best things about Tŷ Glyn is that it already does a lot of the work for you. The space, the light, and the surroundings all lend themselves to natural moments and a day that flows smoothly. It’s hard to find a bad angle of the place.

That means no dragging you away from your guests for endless photos, no awkward standing around wondering what to do with your hands, and no pressure to perform for the camera.

I photograph weddings at Tŷ Glyn in a calm, documentary way — quietly observing what’s happening and stepping in with gentle guidance only when it actually helps.

The setup is ideal, everything in one place means no time wasted driving between locations, no bundling into the car to drive off for couples shots, no nonsense.

The team at Tŷ Glyn (shoutout Georgina, who you’ll likely have there on the day holding things down!) are fantastic. Everything runs smoothly, which means you can just enjoy your day, and I can concentrate on capturing images, and not stress about your time line!

“We’re awkward in photos” — that’s normal

Many of my couples tell me they feel awkward in front of the camera. Some say they hate having their photo taken altogether. And a little secret here, I feel your pain. I hate having my picture taken, and I’d much rather be behind the lens.

But here’s the good news!

You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need to act like you’re having the best day of your life every single second.

I’ll guide you just enough so you don’t feel lost, then let you get on with enjoying your day. The result is relaxed, honest photos that feel like you, not an awkward photoshoot you had to suffer through.

Why Tŷ Glyn works so well for chilled couples who want natural, relaxed images

Tŷ Glyn suits couples who care about the aesthetic, but without the stress. The venue is truly beautiful. Each room brings its own charm and character, and the outdoor space has different elements around each corner. It feels diverse, and brings a different vibe to each part of the day. It really shows in the images. Ceremonies in the barn feel intimate and inclusive for your guests, the hall feels grand and spacious, with beautiful views through the panoramic windows over the Aeron Valley. The whole place just lends itself effortlessly for photography, with great lighting and plenty of space to work, it’s pretty special! (Side note - the outdoor bar is an absolute vibe in the summer).
