Storytelling Photography, across South Wales and beyond
Every story deserves to be told with honesty and warmth. Based in South Wales, I capture real moments in a natural, relaxed style, whether close to home or a little further afield. From weddings to families and boudoir, your memories are at the heart of every image I create.
Hi, I’m Joanna May
I’m the photographer behind Joanna May Photography. I capture life’s stories in a natural, documentary style, from weddings and families to empowering boudoir sessions. Based in South Wales, I focus on real connections and heartfelt moments.
My Services
-
Weddings
Your wedding day is a story made up of countless little moments — the excitement, the tears, the joy that lingers long after the day is over. My relaxed, documentary style captures it all, so you can relive your story for years to come. Packages include engagement shoots, bridal portraits, half-day coverage, and full-day wedding photography.
-
Family & Couples
Family and couple sessions are about connection, love, and the beauty of everyday life. Whether it’s the laughter of a storytelling session, the depth of a day in the life, or the fun of a cake smash, these sessions are designed to capture you just as you are.
-
Motherhood, Maternity & Newborn
New beginnings are filled with love, anticipation, and tender moments worth preserving. These sessions celebrate your journey from bump to baby and beyond, with options including maternity shoots, fresh 48 sessions, newborn portraits, feeding shoots, gender reveals, bump-to-baby packages, and timeless motherhood sessions that honour the everyday bonds you share.
-
Empowerment
Empowerment sessions are about embracing your story with confidence. From boudoir photography that celebrates your strength, to personal “Brand You” portraits, and intimate couple shoots, these sessions are designed to help you feel powerful, beautiful, and unapologetically yourself.
