Llanerch Vineyard Wedding Photography

Here is a first look at some of our favourite images from Charlotte & Andrew’s wedding, the first wedding reception to be photographed from the present owners at Llanerch Vineyard!  Charlotte & her parents and Bridesmaids got ready at the vineyard in the beautiful Cariad room and their theme for the day was very appropriately sage & ivory which was very befitting for such a countryside venue! Charlotte’s dress was from Timeless Elegance and was just that, she looked extremely elegant and the Bridesmaids who were all wearing sage coloured dresses really complimented her.  The Groom and his Groomsmen, 2 young nephews and both the Dads wore tartan kilts so we were all glad that the temperature had dropped for the day!! The wedding had been two years in the planning since the proposal in Lindos, Greece and we were honoured to be asked to photograph the wedding as we have already photographed another member of the family’s wedding.  The ceremony took place at St Isan’s Church in Llanishen where Charlotte arrived 15 minutes early in her beautiful Beauford hired from Perfect Day Wedding Cars along with the vintage bus that transported the bridesmaids and both Mum’s to and from the vineyard.  We were able to photograph in so many areas at the reception venue, from the Woodland Pathway to walking through the vines in front of the farmhouse that is now the restaurant, shop and some bedrooms.  The delicious food was provided by EJ Catering and the day went very smoothly thanks to the co-ordination of Emma Butler from Sylvie and Joan Creative Weddings and Events.  The evening entertainment was provided by the really cool band The Somebodys who had everyone up dancing straight after the First Dance!  The whole day was captured on video by Accesi.

Here is a first look at some of our favourite images from Sarah & Paul’s wedding at the Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel near Usk.  Sarah & Paul travelled all the way from Brisbane Australia!!!! Paul came home with Sarah who is Australian, to reaffirm their vows with their 2 children and Sarah’s family & Bridesmaids in tow! We started out at the Park Plaza Hotel in Cardiff with Sarah and her Bridesmaids where she had her make up applied by the excellent Kirsty from MAC make Up also with her Mum & dad and Nan and Paul’s Mum helping out with preparations.  At the hotel we met up with Paul and his family and groomsmen who were all wearing kilts!  The ceremony and reception were both at The Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel in Usk and they had a Humanist ceremony, the first one we have ever photographed!  Sarah & her Dad and Bridesmaids were transported to the venue in a 1935 Vauxhall BXL 7 passenger Limousine from Henrietta Hire.  After the ceremony the guests had drinks in the courtyard and we were able to photograph their family & friends photographs in the lovely grounds, Sarah & Paul also had a ride in the car in the surrounding countryside.  As a surprise miniature ponies were instroduced to the lovely couple to present a ‘lucky horseshoe’!  The whole day was captured on video by Andrew O’Leary  from SLR Creations.  Sarah & Paul then spent a fabulous week in Paris for their honeymoon.

Wedding Photography St. David’s Hotel Cardiff

Here are a few of our favourite images from Parisa & Tim’s wedding  at Cardiff Castle & St. David’s Hotel, Cardiff Bay.  Starting at their home in Newport, where Parisa was having her make up applied by a MAC make up artist and being helped in to her dress by her Bridesmaids who were all wearing mocha coloured dresses from ‘Suits You!’  Parisa’s dress was a beautiful lace creation from ‘All About Eve’.  It was a stunning blue sky & sunny day, perfect for their ceremony setting at Cardiff Castle.  We met up with Tim and his Best Man and Ushers who were all in smart Navy suits from Slater’s Menswear.  The wedding was just over a year from the proposal which took place at The Newbridge On Usk and Parisa’s engagement ring was made form a diamond that they purchased in New York and then had made by ‘Diamond Geezer’ a company owned by Dragon’s Den James Khan!!  After the ceremony all the guests enjoyed the shade around the Castle grounds and it is here that we photographed the whole group of guests and then the family photographs.  After spending time with Parisa and Tim utilising the beautiful Castle inside & out for their Bridal portraits we then headed off to St David’s Hotel Cardiff where the guests were waiting for them to throw their confetti and enjoy their Wedding breakfast!  The evening entertainment was provided by the fab band Pelican Groove who had everyone up dancing straight after the First Dance!.

Wedding Photography Coed Y Mwstwr

Here are a few of our favourite images from our latest wedding of Lori & Chris at St George’s Church, Cwmparc & The Coed Y Mwstwr Hotel, Coychurch nr Bridgend (3 years after the proposal in romantic Paris!).  We started at Lori’s parent’s house in Treorchy where she was helped in to her dress, which was from Rowberry’s in Swansea, by Mum & her 5 Bridesmaids.  The colour theme was ivory and pistachio, also the colour of the Bridesmaids dresses which were from Perfection in Cardiff, along with the decoration of the room and tables at The Coed Y Mwstr Hotel.  Chris, his best man and Ushers were waiting nervously (though the news of a George North try for the Lions put a smile on their faces!) for us at the Church in their smart suits form Dyfed Menswear, with the Treorchy Male Voice Choir already entertaining the guests!   After the ceremony we were able to take the traditional ‘confetti’ shot just outside under the Church gates, then Lori & Chris got in to their 1930′s Style 2 Door Beauford Convertible supplied by Illtud Wedding Cars also from Llantwit Major.  Guests then made their way to The Coed Y Mwstwr Hotel for drinks and canapes.  We took all of the family portraits in front and the side of the hotel, utilising the various backdrops that the hotel provides.  After the Wedding Breakfast we took Lori & Chris back down the driveway to take some beautiful Bridal Portraits in the field of buttercups and walking through the archway of trees!  We captured the first dance and then left the happy couple and their fab family and friends to dance the night away to the band Jukebox!

It was sooo fab to see’The Doorhof’s again, this time to photograph their little girl Mia who was 11 moths old!  We photographed Hayley & Paul’s wedding in 2008 at The Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel, near Usk and it is a real compliment to be asked to photograph them again and again as their family grow and to capture them at different stages, along with their cousins and the rest of the family.  We photographed Ethan at the beach the last time, and we started outside their house this time but Mia was happier jumping on Mum & Dad’s bed!  The room was lovely and light and their wallpaper provided a lovely back drop for the portraits.  Our favourite photographs are the ones with the sunglasses, a view shared by Hayley & Paul!
