Oldwalls wedding photographers, South Wales | Ffion & James

Oldwalls wedding venue was looking spectacular for Ffion & James' wedding a few weeks ago. The weather gods did a great job in making the sun stick around all day. So many awesome moments from the day it's hard to put it into words and a highlights blog of 100 images but I'll give it a go!   I joined Ffion and the bridesmaids in the morning at Mulberry House which is one of Oldwalls’ beautiful residence. Absolutely gorgeous barn overlooking the venue which oozes character. The girls were getting ready with Jenna focusing on the girls hairs and Jemma with the

Wedding Photography at Hensol Castle | Zoe & Matthew

Zoe & Matthew had their gorgeous wedding at Hensol Castle in May and what a celebration it was. The weather was glorious with a stunning sunset to top it off and the best sparkler send off perfectly ending their wedding!   Zoe & Matthew initially got in touch over a year and a half. From the moment they helped me to realise their vision for their Hensol Castle wedding I was super excited. We've stayed in touch regularly throughout the planning stages sharing ideas and suggestions. It's been an absolute pleasure getting to know both Zoe and Matthew over this stage and especially on

Huntsham Court wedding photography | Devon | Natalie & Chris

Huntsham Court in Devon is just an incredible venue. Steeped in history with a thousand stories to tell. I was really delighted to have been asked to be Natalie & Chris’ wedding photographer here. Having the place exclusively yours for the weekend is simply asking for a heck of a celebration.   Not only was it my first time at Huntsham Court photographing a wedding but also my first Devon wedding too! Located in Tiverton in the centre of the Devonshire countryside, surrounded by thick lush woodland and rolling hills. I literally don’t think you could take a bad photo at this

Rosie & Rhys | Garth Mountain Engagement photography

Rosie, Rhys and their dog, along with me of course, headed up to the Garth mountain, North of Cardiff for their engagement photography shoot a few weeks back. With all our busy schedules we finally managed to find some time for the wind swept session.   Rhys & I were in school together from primary school to secondary with a school year separating us. Not having kept in touch much in the time between then and now. It was great to hear he and Rosie were keen to book me for their wedding photography at Sugarloaf Barn in the summer. On the shoot

Jess & Chris | Cardiff wedding photography

Ahead of their wedding photography at Pencoed House, Jess & Chris had their pre-wedding photography session amongst some colourful and beautiful flowers at a local park in Cardiff.   We headed to Cefn Onn country park, which is one of their favourite walks. Just North of Cardiff near Thornhill nestles away a hidden gem of the city. Previously introduced to park by Caz & Dave for their cardiff pre-shoot, it was lovely to be back.   As we met up Jess instantly announced how nervous she was. Totally normal but once they got the awkwardness out of the way it was plain sailing for

Natalie & Chris | Cardiff Pre Wedding photography

Natalie & Chris joined me for their Cardiff Pre Wedding Photography recently at the Wenallt woods, North of Cardiff. The bluebells had yet to bloom but that didn't stop us coming back for a second helping!   Natalie & Chris and I met at Rhianwen & Olivers wedding at Plas glansevin Manor back in September. It's when I was Rhianwen & Olivers wedding photographer. They even feature in the blog too. It's always a pleasure when a couple want to book me based on how I was at their friends wedding. Experiencing how I work first hand is a fantastic way to

Miskin Manor wedding photography | Jalisa & David

Miskin Manor wedding venue hosted the big day of Jalisa & David in April. Gorgeous weather all day and a huge celebration from the morning through to late night dancing - How every wedding should end! I was there to document their day as their Miskin Manor wedding photographer.   Miskin Manor Wedding venue nestles itself on the outskirts of Cardiff amongst the countryside woodland. Perfect setting for Jalisa & David’s wedding day recently. The peak spring weather highlighting the best that the season had to offer. Light warmth in the air, and rich tones from the sun. It felt like summer

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

Cardiff Wedding Photography | Oldwalls Wedding | Ffion & James

Ffion & James had their Cardiff wedding photography session ahead of their wedding at Oldwalls at the end of May. In the peak of the heat on a busy Saturday, they embraced the gorgeousness of Roath Park.   Ahead of their Wedding photography at Oldwalls, Ffion & James met me for their pre-wedding photography at Roath Park in Cardiff. Saturday afternoon, it was warm and I think the whole of South Wales descended onto the land around us. It was heaving with people soaking up the early spring warmth.   I had asked the couple to trust me on my judgement of a great(?)

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. The couple both decided to to get ready at the Copthorne

Ogmore pre-wedding photography | Harriet & Darren

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,

Religious Cardiff wedding photography | Beci & David

Beci & David had their religious Canada lodge wedding photography recently. Set at the gorgeous Canada Lodge & Lake near Cardiff and amongst their friends & family it was a stunning celebration! Canada Lodge & Lake set the stunning backdrop to Beci & David's wedding celebrations following their wedding ceremony at the City Church in Cardiff. Both Beci & David grew up with the influence of the church and prayers. Their ceremony was full of blessings, songs and readings of faith which was fantastic to document.   It was onto the venue for their reception and wedding breakfast… we headed into the quieter

Oxwich Bay hotel wedding photography | Eloise & James

Eloise & James got married in the middle of a cold Autumn overlooking the stunning bay on the gower coast. Their Oxwich Bay Hotel wedding was stunning, intimate and personal filled with cycling and floral theme.   Oxwich Bay hotel wedding venue on the Gower is one of those venues you certainly look twice at. Less than a few steps away, the lapping sea the hotel sits overlooking the entire bay. Nearby, Three Cliffs bay, one of the other famous majestic views of South Wales! Perfect for an autumn wedding with such amazing colours and star lit skies! Eloise the bride got ready

Olivia & Daniel | Wedding engagement photography

Westonburt arboretum was the perfect location for Olivia & Daniel for their wedding engagement photography. Right in the peak of autumn the colours were out of this world!   Olivia & Daniel booked me many months ago and I'm so glad its coming around to their wedding. They are some of the loveliest people I've ever met and so nice to chat with. Absolutely pleasure to photograph them therefore. We met on a pretty cold October afternoon, thick jacket on and away we went. We headed over the treetop walk way which is pretty cool and into the thick colour of trees, there
