The best way to know what it will feel like having your photograph taken on your Wedding day is to have a Photo-Shoot before your Wedding day!!! Sera & Stu did just that! They really fancied a Beach session, but we also wanted to take advantage of the Rapeseed fields that were in abundance in the Vale of Glamorgan, so we headed to one that is on a Public Footpath route (it is important that you know that in advance so that you are not trespassing on farmer’s land) near Llantwit Major. We took full advantage of the pathways that are marked out in the field, so that it looked as if they were literally walking through the pretty yellow flowers, the lighting was perfect -the best time of day between 4 & 6pm at this time of the year (April). We then went off to the beach, the tide was on it’s way in which was great for being on the flat rocks but being near the water, much to Sera’s dismay! She handled it very well (even with the heels!!) and we had some fun shots of them walking at the water’s edge, incorporating the beautiful cliff face and the rocks at this dramatic and beautiful spot. It was only a short session, just enough to give you an idea of how we guide through the photographs on your Wedding day! We then photographed Sera & Stu’s amazing Wedding day at the Welsh College of Music and Drama and they both felt so much more relaxed about being photographed.

Extremely exciting photographing this gorgeous pair and their scrummy pooch Zak! We were honoured to be invited to Bex’s parent’s holiday cottage in Cornwall, so we took the opportunity to take their portraits in a place that is really dear to them and where they feel most relaxed. We had so much fun, Zak got in on the action in the gardens of Mount Edgcumbe House and then we took the steep walk on to the beach at Whitsand bay which was just gorgeous in the late afternoon sun – where we had enjoyed a fab breakfast earlier in the day in the Cliff Top Cafe! Zak enjoyed running in and out of the water with them. We ended the session on the bank of the lake that is right in front of the cottage, so everywhere had a special meaning to them both!

We are thrilled that Rachel & Jos have asked us to capture the beautiful form of Rachel’s ‘bump’ and the landmark points of their first baby’s first year! We started in their home, focusing on the actual bump and then relocated to our fab beach at Llantwit Major to continue the shoot. The beach means a lot to both of them and will be a favourite spot to bring their little one when she arrives, so it was fitting that her first photographs were taken there. They are both very relaxed and were up for all of our suggestions, it was a perfect evening with a stunning sunset so we wanted to capture them in the evening glow, using the cliffs, water’s edge and the rocks. We met Rachel & Jos about 3 years ago when they asked us to photograph their wedding at The Bear Hotel in Cowbridge, nearly 2 years ago!

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!

Kate & Rich’s Pre Wedding Beach Portrait

‘Our beach’ is the setting for an other gorgeous couple! Kate & Rich are getting married in August at St David’s Hotel, Cardiff and fancied having a trial run with us, to get used to being in front of the camera. Not sure why they were so worried as they are naturals! We went to the water’s edge first (to get our feet wet!) to have the channel in the background but then went back up to the cliff face for the contrast of the orangey glow the evening sun gave us. They loved all of the images and looking forward to showing some of them at their wedding!

So, it’s not often Brides get to wear their dresses again but these two lovely Ladies did but this time to the beach!!! It was a cool evening but a beautiful sunset so they had fun running in & out of the waves as the tide was out but making it’s way back in! It was a week after their Wedding, the beach plays a big part in their lives – they had just spent the week at St Ives – so it was fitting that their album should include these images too!

At last, we finally got Gemma and her family along with her brother and girlfriend together for their ‘on location’ Family Beach Portrait Photography! It had been a grey though dry day but when we got to the beach the sun was peeking through the clouds throwing out fab rays on to the sea! Alfie & Isla loved running along the sand, though Isla was desperate to run in to the sea! We did a combination of images including one of all six of them for Gemma’s Mum & Dad as a Christmas present – but sshh they don’t know about it!! Fab idea!! The tide was out so Andy was able to get some reflection shots at the beach in Llantwit Major, we love to photograph at this beach as it provides a cool backdrop for Portrait Photography and includes the element of Landscape Photography too. The golden cliffs provide an alternative to the sea as a backdrop so we did some more there too.

This is part one of our Bumps to Baby Package which will include a choice from Maternity, Newborn, Toddler & 1st Birthday photo shoot. This is the maternity photography part of blooming mum to be Sarah. It will be a great honour to capture Sarah and her newborn’s precious first years journey. All these images were shot in one session with natural lighting or a very simple lighting set up. As it was still warm we even managed to take advantage of a lovely sunset down at our local beach. Our aim is to produce a set of stylish images that Sarah can look back on in years to come and remember that special time.

We first photographed Nik, Jo and the kids about eighteen months ago. On that occasion it was in a park in Autumn so this time they wanted a natural beach setting so we met them at our local beach here in Llantwit Major. There was hardly a cloud in the sky and the kids had great fun splashing about in the shallows, the hardest part was keeping the little ones dry!!

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!
