New House Country Hotel Wedding

The New House Country Hotel was the fab setting for Kellieann and Ian’s intimate wedding! Kellieann went to the hairdresser and then got to the New House Country Hotel to have her make up done by Siobhan and to get dressed in to her gorgeous wedding dress with a pretty lace neckline and her white converse ‘bling’ daps! Her daughter Melanie and one of her bridesmaids were there to help out. The theme was bright and colourful with the flowers designed by Rob & CJ at The Village Flower Studio, Rumney, Cardiff. When the other 3 Bridesmaids arrived they got into their individually coloured dresses one orange, one yellow, one purple and one pink! Gerberas were the chosen flower that made up the bouquets, button holes & table decorations, with the added touch of a ‘Freedom Rose’! Ian and his Groomsmen, their Dads and Sons were all in Morning Suits with smart top hats. Kellieann’s proud teenage Sons Connor & Cameron walked their Mum down the aisle to Ian, with 2 ring bearers leading the way! After the ceremony we all went outside. We took a photograph of the whole wedding party from above with the stunning views of Cardiff in the background. Once again, the weather was lovely and so we were able to take all of the photographs outside, utilising the beautiful grounds from the huge Sequoia tree to the landscaped gardens with the house as a backdrop! The speeches were fab from the Bride’s Dad to the best Man who was Ian’s brother, who along with other family and friends of Ian had travelled from Liverpool for the occasion! The evening got under way with their DJ Alan playing their First Dance and then playing some more top tunes that got everyone on to the dancefloor!

Our style of wedding photography is a mix of documentary photography, unobtrusively capturing moments with natural, Fine Art style bridal portraits.

St Donats Castle Wedding Photography

We were lucky to work locally again last Saturday at the stunning St Donats Castle and Church for Ceri & Phil’s fab Wedding Day! We started our day in Dinas Powys at Ceri’s parent’s house, she was back from the hairdresser when we arrived, her Sister, Zoe was doing her make up and Dad, Ian, was cooking their breakfast on the barbeque outside! The 3 Bridesmaids got into their Royal Blue dresses before helping Ceri into her beautiful dress from Berketex Brides that had lovely lace detail on the shoulders that followed down through the whole dress and the flowers from the Market Garden in Ely complimented all of the dresses and suits. Proud Mum, Margo & Dad were waiting at the bottom of the stairs with the Bridesmaids and we then went outside in to the immaculate garden for some photographs. Phil, the boys and his family were waiting patiently at the church in their smart navy suits from Jo Mclaren in Teddington. It was lovely to see Father Anthony again, he gave a lovely service and made everyone feel relaxed and welcome. The weather was ‘unexpectedly’ gorgeous so we were able to take all of the photographs outside, everyone walked back up the hill from the church to the castle and had welcome drinks and canapés in the courtyard and out on the terrace. After the tasty wedding breakfast, provided by the Town and Country Caterers we went with Ceri & Phil down to the waters edge, it had poured down whilst they were eating so there were some cool clouds to incorporate! All their guests were great fun and took part in a Marryoke of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing filmed by Sally & Emma of Orchid Films, for a look at the hilarious results click here. After cutting the cake that was made by Bridesmaid, Rhianna, they took to the dancefloor and once their first dance had occurred the brilliant band ‘Session’ took to the stage, they were also guests, Ceri was also one of the other Bridesmaids!

Llansantffraed Court Hotel was the beautiful setting for their Civil Ceremony and it was a relaxed atmosphere with the ceremony taking place at 4pm. We hadn’t had a rainy Wedding day for a while, but it didn’t stop Rachel & Kris having their photographs taken outside on their Wedding Day! We joined Rachel and her Bridesmaids, Mum & Aunt in the Bridal suite where she had her make up applied by Leanne and her hair styled by Gaynor & Sian. We left them all to it for a little while to go and find Kris and his Best Man, Usher and family to take some pre-ceremony photographs, all of the men looked smart in their light grey suits from Dyfed Menswear and the ladies looked gorgeous in their outfits too! When we went back to the Bridal suite the Bridesmaids were in their fuschia coloured dresses and they then helped Rachel in to her beautiful dress from All About Eve in Newport and her wedding shoes which were unusually sparkly from Rainbow! It started to rain before the ceremony so Rachel and her Dad stayed inside the hotel to enter. After a very emotional ceremony everyone stayed indoors with their welcome drinks and were really happy to come outside under a huge tree that acted as a canopy and kept everyone dry! Rachel & Kris were brilliant sports and remained outside for their Bridal portraits, happy to walk under our white Bridal ‘double umbrella’! After their beautiful meal it was time for the speeches, all 7 of them! There was just a bit of time to have a few more photographs of their friends and then the DJ got the evening started with their first dance and got everyone else up dancing straight afterwards. They are heading off on their honeymoon in September to Las Vegas, where Kris proposed!!!
