This was my second shoot with Rhys and the final one before my hiatus (for exams) and it was a lovely end! So worth every hour of my time - I just hope he can say the same!

He was such a gem - so considerate and funny! His ideas were fab and he definitely encouraged me to be adventurous and creative! He really showed that he cared about my wellbeing including making sure I ate and bringing his famous duvet coat for me to keep warm! I'm also chuffed on my part to broaden his love of shoes to flats instead of just heels, haha!

I would definitely recommend Rhys and am looking forward to any future shoots together!

I took a trip to Carmarthen on Monday on a planned Autumn shoot with Rhys.

Rhys is a wonderful photographer to work with, both professionally and personally. He helped by providing boots for the first shoot and chauffeured me around to the different locations in the area. We had a fantastic day, the sun came out and we had real good fun. Rhys is a quiet, unassuming guy, who is great company and lovely to work with. He provided three images edited on the evening of the shoot and I have received two CDs to choose my other images.

I would fully recommend Rhys. He is both professional and friendly in his approach and his work is first class. If you have a chance I would take the opportunity to work with him. Thank you for a great day

WARNING: If Rhys tells you not to bring flats, he's lying, haha! My ankles in heels took a beating in his very adventurous locations but all worth it for the fabulous images!

Rhys is open to your own ideas alongside his established work ethic and is a very kind and talented man. He definitely looks after his models.

I would 100% recommend him.

As this was my first ever shoot, understandably I was a bit apprehensive. However, within a few moments of meeting Rhys any worries had been abolished. From the get go Rhys was very friendly and always ensured that I felt comfortable and confident with the situation I was in. He was also a true gentleman helping to keep me steady whilst walking through streams and climbing rocks in my 6 inch heels!

Rhys was very time efficient and was there ready to greet me when I arrived. We went to a number of different locations which were absolutely beautiful. He made me feel very confident and complimented me when I was doing well, it's always nice to know when you're doing a good job. Alongside providing compliments, he also gave direction when something wasn't quite right which in the end leaves you with a better quality photo and makes you look like you know what you're doing when you're a newbe!

Rhys was excellent company and has now become what I consider my guardian angel! He has shown me the ropes and helped me to find my feet, including helping me to set up my PP! My safety has been his main priority from the start and I can't thank him enough for all of the help and support he has given me!

I cant recommend him enough, a truly amazing photographer and also a great friendship!

Had my first shoot with Rhys today.

Great communication before the shoot, we had everything planned perfectly beforehand. The location he choose was beautiful even in this not so great weather the photos I've seen so far look great.

Very friendly and keep me stable in my heels all day like a true gentleman.

Definitely recommend Cefni Photography to everyone and would definitely work with him again.

Second shoot with Rhys recently and again the work that he has produced is fantastic. Rhys picked me up from home and drove us to location thankfully as the gower can be tricky!I am very pleased with each of the images. It was very hard to make my final selection the images were that good. As the first time Rhys was very chatty and great company. Rhys as usual was very handy helping to get me out of a very boggy situation! I am always impressed with his work and find his knowledge very useful and he will give direction when he wants a specific image. Rhys done my first beach shoot which I really loved doin. a fun, sunny shoot with a genuine fun person. Thank you again Rhys :-)

Had a brilliant shoot with Rhys! The communication beforehand was at a high level which already made me feel at ease before meeting him. As well as being very talented, Rhys has a wicked personality and we got on like a house on fire! Rhys knew exactly what he wanted and was very professional! Every photo we shot I was more than happy with and throughly enjoyed the shoot. We've both already booked in for another shoot which I'm looking forward too! Can't wait to work more often with Rhys and would recommend him to anyone :) x

Rhys was absolutely superb today at our locational shoot.

He met me at the train station and was very chatty and made me feel comfortable and at ease.

He was extremely helpful with direction on camera and with helping off camera as well: with getting to the locations when my heels got stuck in the mud and packing away my stuff.

Friendly, enthusiastic and talented. Highly recommend Cefni Photography. Really easy and fun to work with.

If you ever have an opportunity to work with Rhys, I would highly recommend You do. From the time we met up to the end Rhys was very chatty and gave me lots of advice and helpful tips! As this was my first ever shoot they came in handy. Communication before and after shoot was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble. Rhys was very helpful also getting around location giving a help in hand. I would like to say a big thank you Rhys I'm more than pleased with my images and again thank you for the opportunity to work with you, look forward to working again.

Had my first ever winter outdoor shoot with Rhys!

Rhys has great communication before the shoot, he met me at the train station and took me to the location. He made me feel at ease straight away! He gave good direction, was so helpful especially when my heels got stuck in the mud!

We had great fun & I look forward to our next shoot in February x

I had a great day shooting with Rhys yesterday in what seemed like gales force winds. It was a location

shoot and wow the locations were awesome. The weather was against us but Rhys took some great shots.

We emailed back and fourth for a while about ideas for the shoot. Rhys knew what he wanted and was great at communicating before hand. I always felt safe with Rhys and he is a lovely man to work with.

I hope to work with Rhys again.. But I say with better weather haha. Thanks again

Shooting with Rhys last week was a dream....he had scouted out some stunning locations & even though the weather threatened rain/wind, we decided to go right ahead with our epic plans - and I am glad that we did!

Rhys was very considerate & professional, making sure I was wrapped up between shots & there was great conversation throughout our mad foray into nature at it's wildest - even when the wind kicked up a fuss, rain pummelling, Rhys was completely at ease using his camera; working the best angles, capturing wonderful light & setting up scenes beautifully, with great direction...

He is an amazing photographer, one who I'd jump at the chance to work with again - thank you so much for the lovely day Rhys=)

Let me just tell you that Rhys has ALOT of patience hehehe!!! I shot with Rhys today on various locations he picked especialley for the shoot and really enjoyed myself! I am always slightly nervous about working with people I haven't met before on location but Rhys put me at ease, he is such a fun personality, a complete gentleman (even washing my muddy boots after the shoot!)

A very likeable, kind and considerate character, he made the VERY cold shoot very enjoyable- by the end of it all I didn't give a damn that I was caked in mud! I even fell over in the mud and enjoyed myself! :) I have been living the cosy life in studios and indoor locations for far too long and a shoot with Rhys definately woke me up to the fact that I need to do ALOT more outdoor shoots :) He also takes great photos and it was a pleasure to meet him. Thanks again for putting up with my inccesant moaning about the cold and really hope to work together on location again in the WARM weather ;) A lovely guy and highly recommended, patience of a saint! :P

I have had the pleasure of working with Rhys on two separate occasions. Communication before the shoot is spot on and I knew exactly what Rhys wanted from me! Rhys always makes you feel comfortable both off and on camera, cracking jokes and just being a true gentleman!

Rhys always has great ideas but is always more than happy to try out other "wacky" ideas.

Whist posing Rhys has attention to detail to ensure ever picture is of a high standard!

I am looking forward in our next shoot, which we have already penciled in!

Thank you Rhys! It's been a please x

I had my second shoot with Rhys a couple of weeks ago and again Rhys was lovely.

Rhys is a true gent, I stayed with at his place the night before the shoot which was a great help for me and Rhys was the perfect host.

The shoot was great, working around the beautiful South Wales countryside, Rhys looked after me throughout the day and we had a great time all round.

Thank you again, look forward to the next one.

Highly recommended.

A true gentleman, had a location shoot with Rhys today and couldn't ask for a friendlier, more thoughtful photographer to work with. Was very aware of how I was doing and wanted to check I was okay with every location we went to. Felt completely at ease at all times and Rhys was incredibly friendly and easy to get on with as well as knowing some great locations - would definitely recommend.
