YOUR PROFESSIONAL BESTIE FOR THE DAY
Hey there! I’m Yakaly Di Roma (pronounced Jah-Kah-Lee), I’m a Pro third wheeler (jk but really) I’m a destination wedding and newborn artist, dedicated to crafting enduring memories from the heart of South Wales, UK.
With almost two decades of experience, I’ve been skillfully preserving the love stories of countless couples from their wedding to their baby, transforming each moment into a time machine back to their memories, turning them into one of a kind masterpieces.
REAL WEDDINGS
THE EXPERIENCE
I don’t just take photos, I witness you.
This is more than documentation, it’s deep noticing. I’m there to hold space for the real moments and capture your story with honesty, heart, and intention.
I’m not just behind the lens, I’m right there with you, fixing veils, moving guests, and making sure everything flows with intention.
ART MEETS EMOTION
While I capture your day as it naturally unfolds, I also create space for striking, editorial-inspired portraits.
Think timeless elegance with a Vogue-like edge crafted with the same care as the quiet moments, elevating your story into something truly unforgettable.
Connection comes first
Before anything else, I want to understand you, your people, your energy, what matters most. That trust is what allows the images to feel so effortless, so true.
I know when to gently guide, when to step in with care, and when to take charge so you can relax knowing everything (and everyone) is exactly where they need to be.
WE’RE IN IT TOGETHER
From our first chat to the moment you open your gallery, I’m with you offering support, guidance, and care every step of the way. This isn’t just about photos.
It’s about creating something that lasts far beyond the day itself. The food gets eaten, the flowers fade, but your photos? They will be with you to relive how it all felt, forever.

KIND WORDS
Absolutely OUTSTANDING photographer, super creative & extremely talented. Communication with Yaky from day 1 was amazing, she listened to everything we wanted to do, and created the most perfect photos with her own unique styling. I could literally write 1000’s words, just wanted to add how amazing Yaky was with out 2 year old daughter, when she started to get a little fed up. She made it fun, using her motherly instincts in helping & distracting her. We couldn’t have wished for a better photographer for a special day. Thank you again, beautiful lady! We’d give 10* if we could ❤️

The BEST Wedding Photographer Ever! Yaky, You’re a Star! Where do we even begin? From the very first meeting, Yaky just got us. She wasn’t just our wedding photographer, she was our professional bestie, calming presence, and full-time hype woman all in one.
Yaky didn’t just take photos – she told our story. She made us feel completely seen, understood, and celebrated. Her energy, her care, her sense of humour, and her ridiculously good eye made the day feel so much easier, more joyful, and honestly, more us.
If you’re looking for someone who will understand your vision, make you feel incredible, and deliver photos that will make you gasp (and maybe cry), Yaky is your girl. We couldn’t imagine our day without her.

Yaky, I just want to say how much I appreciate you and Ben! You guys were by far my favourite vendors. You did you job extremely well while also juggling all other vendors and being my voice when I couldn’t yell at them 😂. I especially appreciate you figuring things out for me when I was feeling overwhelmed. Thank you so much for all that you did and for the BEAUTIFUL photos! Everyone says they look like royal paintings I cannot believe how good the they look! Thank you a million times💕

THE PROCESS
ENQUIRY – ALL ABOUT YOU
Before we talk timelines or logistics, I want to get to know you, your story, your people, and the quiet in between moments that matter most.
You’ll receive a questionnaire that helps shape how I approach your day. Then, closer to your wedding, we’ll reconnect to revisit your answers and make sure we’re completely aligned on what matters most, so nothing meaningful gets missed.
FROM CONNECTION TO KEEPSAKE
When it’s all said and done, your story will live on through a thoughtfully curated gallery, filled with real moments, quiet glances, and all the emotion you felt.
Delivered through a beautiful online platform, your images will be ready to download, share, and revisit again and again. A living memory, always within reach.
WORKING TOGETHER
It all starts with a conversation. I’ll invite you to a phone consultation where we can chat through the collections together, so you can find the one that truly fits your day and your vision. Once you’ve chosen, I’ll send over an agreement and after the booking fee is paid, we’re officially in it together!
SUPPORT
I’m more than your photographer. I’m here if you need help with vendors, timelines, to guide and support you with your last minute nerves.
