New House Country Hotel Wedding

This post contains a choice of our favorite images from the wedding of Laura & Richard.  Laura & Richard had their civil ceremony at the New House Country Hotel, Thornhill, Cardiff.  Laura had her bridal preperations in the Bridal Suite with her parent’s and sister helping out.  The wedding ceremony took place in the Georgian Suite followed by drinks on the terrace of the New House Country Hotel.  We were very lucky with the weather for January with some low winter sunshine just to take the edge of the temperature.  This also added a lovely warmth to the photographs.  We were able to take all the family portraits outside on the terrace.  We made use of the last rays of sunshine to take the bridal portraits in the lovely grounds of the New House Country Hotel.

Manor Parc Wedding

This post contains a choice of our favorite images from the wedding of great friends Katey & Rob at Manor Parc, Thornhill, Cardiff.  Katey got ready at her home with her closest friends and family around her.  The order of the day was definately fun, fun, fun!  The ceremony took place at Llantrisant Church with everyone then moving on to the Manor Parc for the reception.  It was great to have the sun out and be able to use the rays shinning through the trees.  The lovely colour of the autumn leaves also provided a lovely backdrop.  We took advantage of the warm conditions and took all the family portraits on the warm balcony at Manor Parc.

Clare and Dan had there civil ceremony at Miskin Manor in South Wales.  Clare got ready at Miskin Manor with her sisters and parents helping out.  The weather remained overcast but dry all day so it was great for photography.  The ceremony took place in the Minstral hall.  All the guests were able to enjoy the Miskin Manor grounds where we took all the family portraits.  We were able to take bridal portraits before and after the wedding breakfast to make the most of the beautiful grounds at the hotel. The evening entertainment commenced with Clare and Dan doing their first dance.

City Hall Cardiff Wedding Photography

City Hall Cardiff Wedding Photography

An Asian wedding photographed at Cardiff City Hall.  An Asian wedding is both fascinating to see and photograph.  There are many parts to the ceremony that have to be photographed throughout the day.  This sometimes includes the evening before when all the girls get Henna tattoos.  The day itself started very early with the bride getting ready and being made up in her traditional costume.  We then made our way to the City Hall Cardiff to make sure we were ready for the Grooms arrival ceremony.  The main part of the ceremony then takes place on the stage and Indian Mandap, this part of the ceremony includes many traditional rituals and is equally fascinating.  We did manage to take some bridal portraits at the Civic centre buildings around the City Hall.  One of the most emotional parts of the ceremony is when the bride says goodbye to her family.  This is a real privilege to witness and photograph and really does leave a lump in the throat.  The final part of the ceremony is the bride entering the grooms home with a few much more ‘lighthearted’ rituals.

Cardiff Castle Wedding Potography

Leena & Ketan chose to have their wedding ceremony at Cardiff Castle.  This was the civil part of an Asian wedding that was photographed at the undercroft at Cardiff Castle.  Leena got ready at their new home in Cardiff which was great as we had a blank canvas to work with.  We were able to use all the grounds at the Castle that are not open to the public.  After the Cardiff Castle Ceremony and photographs we went to City Hall for an amazing ‘Bollywood’ reception & party.  We were also lucky enough to cover Leena & Ketan’s Asian Ceremony.
