Siw and Gareth had an extremely chilled-out wedding at Cardigan Quayside, one of a unique collection of local wedding venues managed by the lovely people of Fforest. If you’re looking for something a little bit alternative you MUST check them out! Both Siw and Gareth (and their gorgeous daughter) got ready in Fforest’s Granary Lofts just across the… Read More
Tori and Rich at Manorbier Castle
We were really excited as we approached this wedding, firstly because we already knew this amazing family from Tori’s sister Olivia’s wedding the year before, and secondly because the bride is none other than the inspiring adventurer Tori James; she is the first Welsh woman to climb Mount Everest, was part of the only all-female team ever… Read More
Carrie and Matt’s Take Two session at Newport and Nevern
We absolutely love Take Two sessions! It’s brilliant to get dressed up again and spend some real quality time on great photos. It rained on Carrie and Matt’s wedding day but luckily they had already planned on a Take Two session – just two days later they had beautiful sunshine! We began at Cwm yr Eglwys, followed by Newport… Read More
Lisa and Rhodri at Wolfscastle Country Hotel
Lisa and Rhodri had a typical autumn wedding – typical in that every type of weather made an appearance through the day! But as you’ll see the rain can’t wash away any smiles from this bright and colourful day. I particularly like the fuschia colour scheme followed through so consistently in all the little touches, and… Read More
Beth and Robin’s autumn wedding at Manorbier Castle
Beth and Robin got married in the Vaulted Chapel at Manorbier, one of our favourite Pembrokeshire locations. They both got ready at the Castlemead Hotel, so were able to just stroll down the road to the castle for the ceremony, and back up again for their marquee reception. Lovely moments to look out for: Beth’s… Read More
Nicola and Dan’s Humanist wedding at home
Happy Anniversary Nicola and Dan!!! Let’s relive this amazing day exactly one year ago – a humanist ceremony in the most idyllic lakeside setting you could ask for, with vintage cars, horses, ice cream, juggling, a sunset photoshoot and grandma lasting longest on the dance floor. 🙂 Photographed with the assistance of Sophie from the super… Read More
Lighthouse Take Two shoot with Laura and Dom
Here’s a very long overdue post that I lately realised I missed out! Laura and Dom got married at Castell Coch on a very intimate wedding day, and didn’t want to leave their few guests for long enough for all the photos they really wanted. So a few months later they got dressed up again for… Read More
Olivia and Gareth at home in Pembrokeshire
This is probably one of our most favourite weddings of all time. Olivia and Gareth had the most stunning happy wedding at Olivia’s home last summer (so stunning that it has already been featured on the top UK wedding blog Rock My Wedding). Look out for the boys arriving by cherry-picker (!!!!), a surprise fleet… Read More
Michelle and Antony at Manorbier Castle
Michelle and Ant had rather a brisk spring day for their intimate wedding at Manorbier Castle. These two are great fun to be with, there’s not too much they take seriously. And with Ant such a stylish dresser (and Guinness world record holder – guess what for) and Michelle a DIY genius who made all… Read More
Winter Pre-wedding shoot in Tenby
There I was all excited to finally blog the first wedding of 2014 now that it’s almost Halloween, when I remembered that Eli and Pete had a shivery January pre-wedding shoot shortly beforehand. Vince met them down in Tenby, which is fabulous and colourful in every weather. I’ll be back shortly with their gorgeous St David’s… Read More
Nia and Richard at Hammet House
Nia and Richard had a beautiful intimate wedding with just 18 guests last autumn and threw the usual format out the window to do things their own way. While the guests were gathering inside Hammet House, Nia and Richard met up at the end of the long driveway for a fun ‘first look’ photoshoot. Woohoo! We’ve always wanted to… Read More
Teleri and Meilyr at Hammet House
Teleri and Meilyr’s wedding date last September was forecast for rain all day…never stop hoping. 🙂 We went down to Cwmtydu beach for photos, a good choice as it’s always fairly quiet and you’re never far from the water. I also really like the huge rocks. 🙂 These storm clouds, which never broke… Read More
Sunset at Mwnt church: two pre-wedding shoots
As I said in the last post, Mwnt church is one of our favourite places; and I think it’s a meaningful place for lots of local people. We’re often asked to stop there on the way to the reception and last year we did two pre-wedding photo sessions there. It’s an ideal location because of the variety of… Read More
Mwnt and Rhosygilwen with Lorna and Aled
Lorna and Aled combined our two absolute favourite venues, Mwnt Church and Rhosygilwen Mansion, for their brilliant wedding day last August. Lorna had the excellent idea of doing hair and make-up in the marquee that was set up in her parents’ garden ready to host brunch next day. Preparations at home can get really crowded and manic but… Read More
Claudia and Huw at Y Talbot, Tregaron
Claudia and Huw’s sheep-themed wedding was one of the loveliest of the summer for us – in spite of being one of the very few which wasn’t scorching sunshine. We felt so welcome with this extremely laid-back bride and groom. You’ll see their exuberance coming through in every image! After speaking French at… Read More
Sophie and Emlyn at Llys Meddyg
Back at the end of July we had a lovely day of understated elegance with Sophie and Emlyn at Llys Meddyg Restaurant in Newport, Pembrokeshire. Sophie decided she didn’t want her preparations photographed so we began at the beautiful rustic little St Mary’s Church in Manorwen, near Goodwick. It was bursting with flowers – I… Read More
Pre-wedding shoot on the Gower coast
Back in June we took a trip down to Three Cliffs Bay on the Gower Coast near Swansea for a pre-wedding photoshoot with Snehal and Paul. This is the place where Vince proposed to me, and we suggested it as a location to Snehal and Paul – who live in London and got married in… Read More
Stephanie and Bleddyn at The Orangery, Margam Park
Steph and Bleddyn’s gorgeous and exceptionally HOT wedding day was at Margam Park, near Port Talbot – our first time working there and a complete stunner of a venue as you’ll see. This fabulous day has already been featured on Cwtch the Bride blog; do check it out for Steph’s own write-up of the day… Read More
Lucy and Lewis at Llys Meddyg
In July we spent a lovely laid-back day with Lucy and Lewis at Llys Meddyg, one of our favourite venues. A real home-from-home atmosphere with outstanding food and service. In spite of a very rainy start to the day, Lucy never seemed to doubt that their planned garden ceremony would be able to go ahead.… Read More
Gemma and Martin at Nanteos Mansion
We’re at the time of year when blogging becomes next to impossible!!! But I’ve been really looking forward to blogging this ultra-gorgeous sun-drenched day back in May with the rather beautiful couple that is Gemma and Martin. It was our first time back at Nanteos Mansion in Aberystwyth since a recent revamp, and we were… Read More
