Wales Location Portrait Photography

Wales Location Portrait Photography

The Lindsays had their first ‘on location’ Family Portrait Photography session last Saturday.  Despite the wind, it was dry and sometimes sunny at the beach in Llantwit Major.  Evan looked so cool in his yellow Mac’ & he enjoyed walking on the flat rocks with his Mum & Dad, Jules & Dave!  We love to photograph at this beach as it provides a cool back drop for Portrait Photography and includes the element of Landscape Photography too.  We first photographed Evan as a newborn 18 months ago, it is fab watching him grow and to see him running around, enjoying the outdoors! We met Jules & Dave 8 years ago when they asked us to photograph their Wedding Photography in South Wales at The Coed-Y-Mwstwr Hotel, Coychurch, Bridgend, they have just celebrated their 7 years Anniversary!

Our style of portrait photography is a mix of documentary photography, unobtrusively capturing moments with natural, fun, location portraits.  For a further look at our images of our South Wales Portrait photography, please have a look at our Gallery or other Blog Posts and if you have any questions about our services don’t hesitate to leave a comment below or contact us.  Also if you would like to arrange your own Family or Child or Couples Portrait Session please email [email protected]

Caradoc Court Wedding Photography Herefordshire

Caradoc Court Wedding Photography

Here are a few of our favourite images from last Saturdays wedding of Nicola-xan & Ant at Caradoc Court, a magnificent 17th century Jacobean manor house near Ross on Wye, Herefordshire.  Nicola-xan and Ant both got ready in rooms at Caradoc Court.  Nicola-xan got ready in the lovely bright Bridal Suite with help from her close friend Laura and her bridesmaids.  Much to everyone’s relief the weather co-operated and got better and better as the day progressed.  This was great for us as the ground looked stunning with Tulips, Cherry Blossom and Magnolia out in full force.  It was great fun shooting with Alan & Helen Grove of Grove Video Services, always a pleasure to have around on the wedding day.  The bridesmaids looked stunning dressed in purple Dessy Collection which really complimented Nicola-xan’s beautiful wedding gown from Blue in Cardiff.  Ant, his best men and Ushers looked really smart kitted out by Dyfed Menswear.  The bridal bouquet and table decorations were supplied by the Florist of Cardiff whose flowers always look amazing.   The ceremony took place in the spectacular Great Hall with rings provided by Parkhouse Jewellers of Cardiff.   After the ceremony all the guests took advantage of the lovely weather and beautiful grounds to enjoy their drinks and canapes.  We shot all the family portraits in the gardens, utilising a few different backdrops.  We also had time to shoot a few Bridal Portraits of Nicola-xan & Ant before the wedding breakfast and speeches commenced in the panelled ballroom. We also took advantage of some lovely early evening light to capture a few more bridals.  The evening entertainment was provided by DJ Grant Reynolds of the Boutique Disco who got everyone up dancing the night away!!!

Our style of wedding photography is a mix of documentary photography, unobtrusively capturing moments with natural, Fine Art style bridal portraits.  For a further look at our images of our South Wales Wedding photography, please have a look at our Gallery or other Blog Posts and if you have any questions about our services don’t hesitate to leave a comment below or contact us.

 

Food Photography Wales

Food Photography Wales Llansantffraed Court Hotel

Here are a few food photography images recently taken of the amazingly sumptuous food being produced at Llansantffraed Court Hotel near Abergavenny.  The Hotel’s philosophy is to use local organic produce wherever possible supplemented with their own freshly grown vegetables, herbs and fruit from their walled market garden.  The new kitchen team is led by the very talented Head Chef Mike Hendry, formerly from the Michelin Starred Crown at Whitebrook.  All the food photography was taken using natural light and environment in keeping with the organic approach of the hotel.  Our main obstacle on this unusually hot day was getting the deserts shot before the ice cream melted and of course controlling the urge to tuck straight in to the mouthwatering dishes!!!  The hardship in this line of work is the after shoot tasting, sheer heaven………!  Can’t wait to shoot more of their food – watch this space!

So if you fancy a real great dining experience, we can thoroughly recommend a visit, check out their menu options.
