Maxine was our wedding photographer and she was absolutely excellent from start to finish. From the moment we contacted her, we knew we were in safe hands - very clear and quick communication with us, listened to us and took into account everything we wanted. Now, we have the most beautiful photos that perfectly captured our special day. Thank you so much Maxine for all your hard work, kindness and patience! More...

We booked Maxine for our wedding after a few recommendations. Maxine was fantastic throughout our photography journey. She scheduled in a quick meeting to discuss our needs on the day and more than exceeded these. Maxine is absolutely lovely and has very calming presence, if you’re a bit nervous on the day. We are pleased with our photos, a few were shared very quickly after the wedding, followed by our digital and physical album a little later on. We highly recommend Maxine. She’s a fabulous photographer! More...

Maxine is a lovely and thoughtful photographer. We held our ceremony in St. David's Room at Cardiff City Hall. Despite the unexpected 'bride's worries and overthinking,' Maxine's experience and calm demeanor reassured me, and we ended up having a fabulous wedding experience.

Maxine was recommended to us by a friend when we were looking for wedding photography, we were not disappointed! From the outset, Maxine was incredibly friendly, flexible and understanding of what we were looking for and her packages gave an option for all budgets and needs - we knew immediately that we had found our photographer! In the run up, Maxine made sure she knew exactly what we wanted from our photos and how to achieve it. On the day, Maxine completely blended in, we barely noticed her as she moved around the venue capturing our day perfectly. We were shown a couple of beautiful images the day after our wedding, which was a lovely surprise! We were absolutely delighted when we received the full image package which beautiful and captured our day in the natural way we had hoped, Maxine even sent us a few prints with the usb and gorgeous storage box! We were so very happy with our choice and would wholeheartedly recommend Maxine for your wedding or other photography needs! More...

We booked Maxine for our wedding in Nov 2022. She was so lovely to work with, kind, caring and professional. Wedding photos are so important and you'll be in very safe hands with Maxine. She made us feel at ease nd comfortable and it wasn't cringey at all. We've just received our wedding photos and we are absolutely thrilled. We would use Maxine again in a heart beat and can't recommend her enough. More...

Maxine was amazing, she managed to do all the shots we wanted, as well as way more. She also asked the venue to be able to do other shots that we hadn't thought of, but came out really effective. She is also super friendly and personable, which is especially lovely when you have a wedding as small as ours (10 people) as she felt like one of the guests even more. More...

Maxine captured our wedding today. She was really friendly, always busy clicking away, talking and laughing with us and putting me and my partner at ease. she directed us beautifully. Even though I have not seen all the pictures yet, I have absolutely fallen in love with the ones she sent over within 8hours of the ceremony! All our requests were listened to, even the unconventional ones! Would absolutely recommend Maxine,. she went above and beyond and made me feel relaxed and beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️ More...

If you are looking for a listener, non judgmental, trustworthy (best) friend
(therapist) who has a pure heart and a warm relaxing environment, Helen Clemente is that person.
I never opened up to someone so quickly as I did to her...please give her a try...you will not regret it!

In the months I've been seeing Helen Clemente, we've gone from therapy sessions to life coaching sessions. She's very kind, practical, and down to earth and has helped me on my positive path. All of the therapists at Clemente Counseling are excellent and I've recommended friends and family here for someone who will really listen and help you get on the right track. More...

I have seen a number of therapists in my time and this was the first time that I've tried life coaching. Helen was welcoming from the first visit with her and made me feel so relaxed. I never once felt like I was being observed like I have felt with some providers, it just felt like a conversation with a friend who had some great advise and amazing listening skills. I feel understood when I go to her, which is something I miss in my day to day life. I hope she never moves because I'll have to follow her! There isn't another individual like her in the world!! I recommend her to all my friends and co-workers who need some guidance in life. More...

Maxine was amazing, a friendly, efficient and talented photographer. Originally we weren’t going to have a photographer, but decided we should and so we’re so glad we did. It was a really fun part of the day, and Maxine made us feel so relaxed, she listened to what we wanted and really understood us a couple. The photos were amazing too, they captured the day beautifully...it’s difficult to chose our favourite as they’re all so good. More...

What can I say? Maxine made the whole process stress free and enjoyable from start to finish. I'm someone who is generally self-conscious in front of a camera but Maxine made you feel so comfortable and at ease that you hardly knew she was there.
She captured every moment of our day perfectly with a great balance of formal and more natural photographs. Her photographs really captured the essence of the day from start to finish. There are so many amazing photographs that choosing ones to go in our album was no mean feat. I could easily have included them all.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer then look no further. I would wholeheartedly recommend Maxine Howells Photography to you. Professional, unique and great value. Thank you Maxine for everything. Diolch Maxine am bopeth.

Maxine and her co-shooter Glyn photographed our wedding in June this year. From start to finish Maxine has been nothing but amazing to deal with. She's a great communicator which made all the planning so easy but more importantly her photography is something else! Maxine and Glyn captured all the amazing moments of the day but they did so in a very subtle way so at times you hardly even knew they were taking photos. The photos themselves are more than we could have ever imagined and they were perfectly edited. We would 100% recommend Maxine and Glyn to others without a moment of doubt. Thanks guys! More...

We had Maxine and Glynn photograph our wedding a few days ago. Since the beginning of planning, Maxine was so lovely, easy to talk to and made it easy to decide what we wanted. Throughout all our communications she made us feel like she was as excited to shoot the wedding as we were to have her there! Her and Glynn were so patient on the day and put up with our mad families. We didn't even know they were there for majority of the day. I'm so glad we had them there and from what photos we've seen so far, we can't wait to get the rest of the photo's back. Thank you so much!!! Xxx More...
