Christina Williams Photography
Pembrokeshire Elopement Photographer
Your elopement. The Pembrokeshire coast. No fuss, just the two of you.
Deciding to elope can be one of the most freeing decisions you can make. No stress, no expectations, no performing for a room full of people. Just the two of you, doing your wedding exactly the way you want it.
In Wales you'll need a registered venue for the legal ceremony, but that's the easy part. Most of my couples keep that bit simple and small, then head out into the landscape for the part that really feels like theirs. A clifftop, a beach, a quiet stretch of the coast path. They go for a pint, have bubbles and brownies on the beach, make a whole day of it.
Modern elopements don't have to mean disappearing entirely either. Plenty of couples bring a handful of the people who matter most, keeping it intimate, intentional, and completely on their own terms.
"Perfect photographer!
Christina was an absolute dream to have with us on the day. We have a 4 and a 2-year-old, so taking family shots was no mean feat, but she put us all at ease as soon as she arrived. Some of my favourite photos are the ones I didn’t even know she was taking, I’m so glad we found her. Thank you Christina for listening to the brief, you’ve given us photos of our special day that we will cherish forever!"

Why Local Knowledge Matters
in Pembrokeshire
I grew up here, spent time living and travelling elsewhere, and then chose to come back. Seeing it again with fresh eyes made me realise just how much variety there is in this place. Wild coast, hills, woodland, open countryside, all constantly changing with the light and the seasons.
The coast is where I feel most at home. Calm and wild at the same time, and I love it just as much in grey January as I do in blue August.
Local knowledge really matters here. Knowing how the landscape and weather behave, where the light works best, and when to lean into the elements rather than fight them can make all the difference. I also know where to get the best coffee, which is equally important.
If you're here, it's probably because you feel the same way about this place. You're choosing Pembrokeshire for the landscape and the feeling it gives you.
If that's the case, I'd love to be your Pembrokeshire elopement photographer and guide.
How I Photograph Elopements
Elopements are so different to weddings, in a wedding I like to take a back seat as much as possible and when needed step in to make people feel comfortable, but to be honest, if it’s just the two of you, you’re going to know I’m there. This isn’t a big wedding where I can disappear into the crowd. On an elopement I’m a big part of your day, just like your registrar or your witness. We’re in it together.
Which means finding a photographer you actually want to spend the day with REALLY matters. Someone whose company you enjoy, who makes you feel relaxed, and who you’d be happy spending a few hours on a Pembrokeshire clifftop with.
I like to think that's me, But you should get that feeling yourself before you book. Fill in my contact form, I'll check I'm free and send over all the info, and we can go from there.
A Pembrokeshire elopement photographer with fifteen years on this coastline
On the day I'm relaxed and responsive. I'm watching, moving, and waiting for the real moments. But if the light is doing something brilliant or I know a spot that'll make a great photograph, I'll say so. I direct just enough to get the best out of the day without it ever feeling staged.
You can relax knowing your photography is in safe hands. I have been photographing weddings across Pembrokeshire and West Wales for over fifteen years, and a Master's degree in documentary photography shapes how I work. That means I know when to quietly observe and when to gently step in, how to read changing light and weather, and how to help people feel at ease without interrupting the flow of the day.
The result is honest, natural photographs that reflect how your day actually felt, while you stay present and enjoy every bit of it.
Elopement Packages
I offer in-season and out-of-season pricing. Out-of-season covers January, February, March, October and November, perfect if you're drawn to wilder weather, empty clifftops, and no tourist crowds. Also, fyi, I consider an elopement to have fewer than 10 guests all day; more, and I consider this a Micro wedding.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the very start Christina was amazing – so easy-going and completely put us at ease, which made the whole day feel relaxed and natural. We loved that nothing felt forced or overly posed; she captured the day exactly as it was, with genuine moments that we’ll treasure forever. The quality of the photos is incredible, and we were blown away by how quickly we received them. We’re so grateful for everything and couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
