Jo & Dan’s Wedding at Hensol Castle and The Vale Hotel was a bit alternative to usual, very relaxed and without many traditional aspects, just how they wanted it! We started at Jo’s parent’s house where Annie was completing their hair and Rachel had completed all of their make up! It was all very calm as Jo & her Bridesmaid Lydia (Dan’s Sister) got ready with 3 of Jo’s friends to help and we photographed her accessories starting with her silk flowers, beautifully designed by Emma Hall Designs, complimenting the Burgandy colour theme. Jo’s Mum helped her in to her beautiful Wedding Dress from Perfection with Lydia adding her jewellry and Annie securing the veil. All of the Suppliers are either local or family members – Jo’s cousin provided transport int eh way of his VW Campervan.Continue reading

The Vale Hotel and Spa in Hensol was the location for Nicola & Ryan’s fab wedding day! Nicola got ready at her parent’s house, she was back from the hairdresser when we arrived with her 2 Bridesmaids and Mum having their make up applied. The first person to start to get ready was Dad as he wore a kilt of Cunningham tartan and it took him 40 minutes to put on! The Bridesmaids got in to their Teal dresses from Ab Fab and with the help of Mum, Karen, they helped Nicola in to her gorgeous dress from Perfections, Cardiff. Some more family members in their respective tartan kilts arrived, not long before Nicola was ready to get in to her car from the fab Perfect Days company to be driven to the hotel. We arrived before Nicola and took some photographs of Ryan and his family and Groomsmen outside the conservatory where they had their ceremony. They all looked very smart in their grey suits and teal cravats (Ryan’s was cream to match Nicola) that were hired from Oxford House in Blaengarw. It was a perfect sunny day and after the ceremony everybody went outside on to the terrace overlooking the golf course, where we photographed them in their respective families and generally enjoying themselves. The Wedding Breakfast was served after the speeches and whilst the room was made up for the evening reception we were able to take Nicloa and Ryan back outside to take advantage of the stunning sunset. The evening was kicked off with Nicola & Ryan cutting their cake which was from Lavendar Cottage, Ewenny and the band, Perfect Day, who we have already photographed this year, got everyone up dancing straight away after the first dance!

Here is a first look at some of our favourite images from Charlotte & Andrew’s wedding, the first wedding reception to be photographed from the present owners at Llanerch Vineyard! Charlotte & her parents and Bridesmaids got ready at the vineyard in the beautiful Cariad room and their theme for the day was very appropriately sage & ivory which was very befitting for such a countryside venue! Charlotte’s dress was from Timeless Elegance and was just that, she looked extremely elegant and the Bridesmaids who were all wearing sage coloured dresses really complimented her. The Groom and his Groomsmen, 2 young nephews and both the Dads wore tartan kilts so we were all glad that the temperature had dropped for the day!! The wedding had been two years in the planning since the proposal in Lindos, Greece and we were honoured to be asked to photograph the wedding as we have already photographed another member of the family’s wedding. The ceremony took place at St Isan’s Church in Llanishen where Charlotte arrived 15 minutes early in her beautiful Beauford hired from Perfect Day Wedding Cars along with the vintage bus that transported the bridesmaids and both Mum’s to and from the vineyard. We were able to photograph in so many areas at the reception venue, from the Woodland Pathway to walking through the vines in front of the farmhouse that is now the restaurant, shop and some bedrooms. The delicious food was provided by EJ Catering and the day went very smoothly thanks to the co-ordination of Emma Butler from Sylvie and Joan Creative Weddings and Events. The evening entertainment was provided by the really cool band The Somebodys who had everyone up dancing straight after the First Dance! The whole day was captured on video by Accesi.
