Cardiff Wedding Photographer De Courceys

Cardiff Wedding Photographer De Courceys – Sabrina & Matthew

So, De Courceys is the venue that Sabrina & Matthew chose for their lovely wedding!   Caerleon was the starting point at Sabrina’s parent’s house, where Jenna prepared hair & make up for Sabrina, her Mum, Jayne, her Sister, Georgina and her Bridesmaid Lydia, they then all helped Sabrina in to her Maggie Sotterro dress from All About Eve adding jewellery and the veil before we took some photographs of them all with the view out of the window overlooking the River Severn!   It was a short drive to St Julian’s Church, Newport where we caught up with Matthew’s family and Sabrina & Matthew’s very cute son, Logan, who was 17 months old!  The service was lovely and after taking a few photographs after the ceremony at the church the happy couple were driven to De Courceys in fabulous cars from Perfect Day Wedding Cars  We had a beautiful sunny day so all of the photographs could be taken outside, before and after the wedding breakfast, which was perfect for the little treat that they had planned for the guests!  Sabrina & Matthew released 2 doves provided by Lovey Dovey followed by Sabrina throwing her bouquet supplied by Hilarys Flowers.  The whole day was captured by Craig & Abbie from Diamond Cut Wedding Videos  Before the evening got started Sabrina & Matthew cut their cake, a gorgeous 3 tier sponge cake decorated with sugar flowers, it was from Celtic Cakes Studio.  The DJ provided the fab tunes for their First Dance and got the guests dancing straight afterwards, there were flip flops provided for aching feet, what a thoughtful thing to do!

South Wales Family Portraiture

South Wales Family Portraiture

It is always an honour to be asked repeatedly to photograph families and this one is no exception. We first photographed these fab children 9 years ago and as you can see they still look gorgeous and the older ones are now young adults!  We changed the back drop this time as they all fancied the beach at Llantwit such a contrast to the gardens we photographed in last time!  A perfect time of day too with the sun setting to give a perfect glow.  The results created the perfect birthday present for their Nan!

We were very honoured to be able to photograph baby Henry, especially as he was 4 and a half weeks early!  We have known his parents, Katey & Rob, for many years and photographed their wedding in October 2012 at the Manor Parc Hotel, Thornhill, it is so nice to see them become a little family!  We turned their dining area in to a temporary studio, using natural light and a couple of different backdrops.  Henry obliged us by sleeping most of the time throughout his session and allowed us to change him in to a couple of different outfits.  Katey & Rob stayed close by to calm him down if necessary and to offer refreshments – of the milk variety – when he needed topping up!  Holly, their dog, also kept a close eye on proceedings though wouldn’t get too involved even though Henry would have loved a pic with her!  We did manage to get Katey & Rob to have a couple of photographs with him too!

Autumn’s 3rd Portrait Shoot

This is the third session out of 4!  We photographed Autumn’s Mummy’s (Sarah) beautiful ‘bump’ just before Autumn was born, then she had her first shoot at 9 days old, so it is exciting to see how much she has changed in 8 months!  A very contented baby she had a couple of outfit changes, though we can see she won’t be sitting still for too much longer as she has started to crawl!!!  We used a couple of different backdrops as well, one of which was provided by Sarah.  Looking forward to capturing Autumn when she reaches 1 in October and seeing her demolish a cake!

Outdoor Family Portrait Photography

This lovely family are so lucky to have woodland next to their home in Tredegar and we are lucky enough to be photographing them again as we have photographed them quite a few times now as each of their 3 children have reached 10 months and as a family at our local beach!  It was absolutely perfect weather as the air was warm and the sunlight left dappled light on the forest floor, along with the many small branches that the children found to play with.  The trees themselves provided great props as even little Rosie who was 17 months insisted in climbing up in to tree branches for us to photograph them!

Charles and Camilla visit Llantwit Major

Charles and Camilla visit Llantwit Major

It’s not everyday that Royalty walk past your house, living two doors away from the ancient St. Illtud’s Church has its advantages!  The crowds gathered early with lots of young flag waving children lining the street waiting in anticipation for the scheduled arrival of Charles and Camilla.  It wasn’t long before they arrived and they slowly made their way down each side of the street spending plenty of time greeting all the bystanders.  They visited the recently renovated Galilee Chapel at the West end of the church and helped to plant a tree in the church grounds.  They spent a further few minutes talking to the gathered locals before being whisked off on their busy schedule – what a lovely atmosphere!
