Zoe & Matt | Three cliffs bay photography

Zoe & Matt had their Three cliffs bay photography for their pre-wedding session recently. Although the first attempt was let down by the subject of weather, we were rewarded with golden sunset the following day.   Hensol Castle will host their wedding in the summer but the whole focus was on their pre-wedding at three cliffs bay photography session. After driving down on the Friday. Being somewhat of a weather spotter for a few hours I suggested it would be still good to head down

Wedding at Pencoed House Estate | Therese & Tom

As a Cardiff wedding photographer, I get to photograph many local venues including Pencoed House which is situated on the outskirts of the city. The day promised nothing but rain all day but in the 11th hour, the clouds cleared and an Irish/Welsh party was about to begin!   Therese & Tom's wedding at Pencoed House is one of the first wedding photography bookings of 2019! The season has already begun which is awesome. Although I had one month wedding free in January, i'm glad to get my creative juices flowing again.

Harriet & Darren's Ogmore pre-wedding photography session was great fun! Although we didn't get to play in the dunes they put the nerves behind them and got right into it! All ahead of their wedding at Hensol Castle in May. Ahhhh, the first pre-wedding photo session of the year and it couldn't have got off to a better start! Harriet & Darren absolutely loved the idea of having their session at their very local beach which they say they spend a lot of time at. It's also one of my favourite parts of coastline too with such a variety of tones,

Well, I could say that I almost couldn't make their wedding at Plas Glansevin due to a cycling accident. But that's another story! Thankfully though I was fit enough to capture the celebrations of what is arguably the wedding of the year! The Grade II listed Georgian

Non the less it didn't dampen their spirits at all. I joined Jennie and her bridesmaids during
