Winter Wedding photography taken at Court Colman Manor near Bridgend in South Wales.  This wedding, photographed at Court Colman Manor was in December.  A big dump of snow on the Friday evening had us waking up to crystal clear skies with fairytale winter wonderland scenes.  Shirley and Nick traveled back from Perth, Austrailia for their winter wedding with family and friends.  We arrived in the local village of Llandough to find locals helping clear pathways through the snow to the church.  Luckily Nick had access to a four wheel drive as the hill from the Court Colman Manor proved very slippery.  Shirley walked to the church with mum and dad in their wellies.  After the church ceremony all the guests made their way slowly to the hotel.  Nick and Shirley had to make do with our four wheel drive for transport as unfortunately their VW Camper couldn’t make it because of the snow.  We were able to stop for some bridal portraits in the beautiful snow covered lanes en route.  Everything ran smoothly at the hotel in spite of the weather, a magical day!
