Hi, I’m Joe Topping, I’m a professional photographer based in Newtown. I’ve been photographing weddings for just over a decade now, although I did have a few years off when Covid struck, I’m back at it again. My pricing or “photography packages” are all-inclusive, that means no hidden costs. I’m happy to discuss your needs and work on a fair price.
I am available throughout Wales & England. I’m happy to answer any and all questions about my photography services.
About Me
My journey with photography first started back in high school, when I unexpectedly won first place in a regional photo competition. I was awarded with a camera!
That early spark led me to study photography at college, and then again at university, which led to me photographing my first wedding.
My Approach
I like to focus on capturing real, candid moments as they happen. I try to blend in to the background and let the day unfold naturally.
I generally keep “posed photos” to a minimum, I have found that by letting my couples and their guests do their own thing, the photos that result from this are far more genuine.
Post-Production
When it comes to editing, I like to keep my photos punchy and modern but not over-stylised.
Over the years, I’ve experimented with different styles; from the moody orange-teal look to light and airy film emulation. My conclusion? It’s easier to add a “look” than it is to remove it. That’s why I keep my edits natural.
PERSONAL WORK

Personal Work
A spooky Halloween photoshoot I shot on analogue pound-shop film (Kodak colour plus 35mm film)
Shot on 35mm film with a Pentax K1000 on an overcast day. White chimney smoke pellets were used (would have helped to have had someone to waft the smoke around but we had to work quickly).
Colour grading was done in Photoshop, boosted the reds and added green-ish under-exposed look.
Not getting married? Need photography for something else? Get in touch! I might be able to help
