Wedding at Margam Orangery South Wales

Wedding Photographer Cardiff

What a lush way to finish off our Summer Wedding season! Lorna & Nathan had a fabulous day with gorgeous September weather.  We commenced with the Bridal prep at The Vale Resort, Hensol.  Then it was into Cardiff at the wonderful St. Peter’s Church in Roath followed by a trip down the m4 to the majestic Margam Orangery where their family & friends (and us) were looked after so well with scrummy food & drink.⁠  Lorna looked amazing in her Martin Thornburg dress from the Cardiff Bridal Centre.  Lorna’s make up looked as good at the end of the day as it did at the beginning once Annalise Wills had worked her magic⁠.  With the most beautiful bouquet courtesy of Betty’s Florists.  Nathan & his Groomsmen looked super smart in their suits from Dyfed Menswear.⁠
Sid the VW Campervan from Classic Vintage Weddings provided the transport⁠.  We can honestly say that the cake from Ponty Carlo Cakes was absolutely delicious (the B&G insisted that we try some, so we did!)⁠  When we left Ultrabooth events were in control of the dancefloor!!⁠

Weddings at New House Hotel Cardiff

Weddings at New House Hotel Cardiff

Anya & Justin had selected one of our favourite venues, we always love photographing weddings at The New House Country Hotel .  We were lucky enough that the glorious weather continued (it was maybe a little too warm & bright dare we say it?!!) so we were able to use the best areas of the hotel for all of the photographs.

We arrived at Anya’s parents to a hive of activity, their hair had already been expertly completed by Jude & Sally from Aztec Hairdressers who had already left so their make up was being applied by Eleri Thomas and Bridesmaids were getting in to their gorgeous green Dessy gowns from High Society in Cowbridge. The flowers arrived from Andrea’s Florist in Penarth, they were gorgeous ivory Gerberas, small hand tied bouquets for the Bridesmaids and a larger one for Anya, they complimented their dresses perfectly.  Anya’s twin Sister, Francesca, helped her with her dress which was a stunning Stella York gown from Laura May Bridal in Cardiff before she walked down the stairs where her Mum & Dad were waiting proudly for her!

After some family and Bridesmaids photo we joined Justin and his family and Groomsmen at St Teilo’s Church in Whitchurch, Anya’s Family’s Church, in fact at their request the retired Canon Eddie O’Connell came back form Ireland to perform their ceremony which made it very personal to them.  The boys looked very smart in their navy Ted Baker 3 piece suits from Moss Bros in Cardiff with green cravattes that matched the Bridesmaids dresses.  There was a fab folk group playing in the church (of which we know 2 of the members!) which made everyone feel at ease prior to and during the ceremony.

After a beautiful ceremony everyone made their way to the picturesque New House Country Hotel where the views were just stunning due to the equally stunning Summer weather, therefore made for a perfect back drop for all of the family and friends photographs!  Everyone was very relaxed enjoying the views and the welcome drinks!  We took Anya & Justin to see the Wyndham Suite which had been beautifully decorated by Emma Hall Designs Anya’s face was a picture when she walked in to see it, just as she had imagined it to look like!  We made our way to the 3 tier cake that a Family friend had made, which they cut a bit later just before the First Dance.

Unusually the speeches were before the Wedding Breakfast and equally unusually Justin’s Dad spoke, after Anya’s Dad and before Justin then his 2 Best Men!!  As it had been such a gorgeous day, the light was perfect for more photographs on the lower lawn where we had a bit of fun with the Bridal party before capturing Anya & Justin in more romantic poses!!  We had already wandered over to the area to the side of the hotel where the giant Sequoia tree over 115 metres high stands and casts some much needed shade on what was a super sunny & hot day!!

The evening was kicked off with the cutting of the cake, then the DJ played their First Dance for them, which they danced together for a few minutes before their families and friends were asked to join them!!  The band The Soul Miners kept everyone on the dance floor, where we left them dancing the night away!!!  Can’t wait until next time we’re here to shoot weddings at the New House Hotel, lets hope the weather cooperates then too!

Weddings at Canada Lakes Lodge Cardiff – Rhian & Aled

Weddings at Canada Lakes Lodge Cardiff – Rhian & Aled

[dt_gap height=”10″ /]

[dt_gap height=”10″ /]

Photographing weddings at Canada Lakes Lodge are never dull even when the Welsh wet weather turns up in full force and it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of this fun day!  It was the setting for Rhian & Aled’s May wedding after Aled had proposed to Rhian in their garden at home!  It was the first time that we had photographed in their new accomodation lodges, they are perfect for preparing for the day and provided a perfect backdrop for pre-ceremony photographs.
[dt_gap height=”10″ /]

Rhian’s bridesmaids were all there with her, hair and make up completed by Laura from Ken Picton Salon, creating a very calm atmosphere, nibbling on some snacks and sipping fizz in their matching kimono dressing gowns!  The wooden terrace with porch was just right for photographing Rhian’s beautiful Wedding gown by Martina Liana from Laura May Bridal along with the absolutely stunning bouquets and button holes from Anne Marie Mellini at Petal Power Wales – who also decorated the ceremony and reception room – and her pretty Rachel Simpson shoes.
 [dt_gap height=”10″ /]
Rhian’s gorgeous Flower Girl and Page Boy joined them as did her Mum, Dad, brother and Sister in law just in time for some pre-ceremony photographs on the terrace as the rain decided to join in the fun and hung around all day, though no-one seemed to notice or got wet thanks to Dai, Carly and the staff from Canada Lakes who transported them to the entrance of the Lodge in cars.
 [dt_gap height=”10″ /]
Music is very important to both of them, there was a Gypsy Jazz Band playing before & after the ceremony – Café Manouche , a very good friend played the piano when Rhian walked down the aisle and a choir of friends sang whilst they were signing the register.  Thank heavens for the porch area outside the main entrance, it has lovely lighting and is wide enough for small formal group shots (we even manged to do a confetti shot too!!)  And the upstairs balcony provides a bit of shelter below so we were able to photograph outside with the picturesque lake as a backdrop for a few Bridal shots.
 [dt_gap height=”10″ /]
Spiros Catering company provided delicious canapes and a Wedding Breakfast and buffet, however, their fab Wedding cupcakes were made by their Family friend Jane!  It was a lovely change to have a fab Folk band, which unusually provided the First Dance music, to which Rhian & Aled performed a Folk Dance with some Family members and friends!  The rest of the guests were also encouraged to do some dancing, before Los Devitos took the floor, upped the tempo and got everyone up dancing the night away!!!  Can’t wait to photograph more weddings at Canada Lakes Lodge – even in the wet!
