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!

Photographing weddings at Oxwich Bay Hotel, Gower is so idyllic in this beautiful coastal setting. Alicia & Mike hadn’t banked on was the perfect beach weather to go with it!! The sky was blue & the sun shone, every Bride’s perfect Wedding day!!
Both families had rented property in the area as neither families are local – though Alicia is from our home turf of Llantwit Major!!! The local associations didn’t stop there, amazing hair stylist Katie Louise styled Alicia & her Sister Hannah’s hair and Charlotte Joy applied stunning make up to them are both from the Vale of Glamorgan too! As Alicia & Mike live on the Isle of Wight it made sense for them to be able to liaise with their suppliers locally when they came home for Wedding preparations, so we were familiar with a lot of their Suppliers too, such as A J Gutteridge Florist who supplied beautiful bouquets & button holes that complimented the pastel pinks & cream colour theme.
Alicia’s stunning Enzoani, Harlem Wedding gown was from Laura May Bridal in Cardiff and Mike and his Groomsman and their Father’s tailored blue suits were from Moss Bros. We started with Alicia’s family at the pretty Holly Tree Lodge in Penmaen about 10 mins from Oxwich Bay, capturing the final preparations and taking some photographs of her & Hannah & the gorgeous baby Maxwell (Alicia’s nephew, Hannah’s baby son) We just love the moment when the bride walks down the stairs and her Father sees her in her dress for the first time, it is often very emotional and it was no different for Alicia and her Dad, we feel very privileged to witness this moment!
It was then time to head off to the Oxwich Bay Hotel to meet up with Mike, his groomsmen and family as they were greeting guests and generally enjoying the sunshine, however, it was soon time to get everyone in to the Oak Room to await Alicia’s arrival, in her Mercedes provide by I Doo Wedding Cars, though Mike remained very calm Alicia was very excited to see him! After the ceremony where the couple exchanged their wedding vows and rings from Pravins, back out in to the gardens immediately outside the hotel was where everyone gathered to greet the Bride & Groom and it also served as a good spot to take the family portraits and to take a photograph of everyone all together before we moved on to the Marquee that had been beautifully decorated by Bespoke Wedding Creations, though Alicia and her Mum had added the personal touch with the wedding favours.
Once we had taken a photograph of the fabulous cake made by Wish upon a Cupcake we continued with photographs of friends and family on the lawn in front of the Marquee whilst listening to the amazing music being performed by The Live Lounge Duo, who played up until it was time to sit down for the Wedding Breakfast. Once the meal had been served and speeches had been delivered it was time to take Alicia & Mike for a wander across the beach to the dunes and make the most of the fantastic scenery, Oxwich bay provided the most perfect back drop for their Bridal portraits, we just love a beautiful landscape and even more so when there is a gorgeous couple on it! All that was left to do was the First Dance and for us to leave them dancing the night away! Can’t wait until next time we’re here to shoot weddings at Oxwich Bay Hotel, lets hope the weather cooperates then too!

Love photographing weddings at Coed Y Mwstwr Hotel. Once again, the gorgeous venue for Lynne & Ben’s Welsh Spring Wedding and the weather did them proud! We arrived to find Lynne, her daughter Grace and the two Mums etc. having their Make Up & Hair done by Joanne from MAC and Annie Mccormack respectively, so the room was full of happy atmosphere but a bit busy so we took Lynne’s stunning Maggie Sottero dress to the room next door that was lighter – and being prepared for other wedding guests – along with her bouquet from David Jones Florist.
The colour theme for the day was pale pink and ivory, perfectly captured in Grace’s dress from Monsoon complimenting the flowers, the cake that was made by a friend Jenny Vade and the reception room that was dressed by the hotel. Ben was in charge of their Son, Joe who is only 10 months, he was getting ready in another room so popped there to help him with his tie and button hole, he and all of the Wedding party Men had worn their own suits, he had chosen a navy one which looked lovely with the pink and ivory of Lynne & Grace.
It was a very emotional ceremony, Grace and Lynne’s niece Mia had written their own poems and read them expertly, but the whole day was based around having fun so once the ceremony was over everyone was out on the lawn playing lawn games and there was lots of laughter to be heard! We took the formal photographs and then whisked Lynne & Ben off just down to the end of the drive to use the lovely setting of an avenue of trees, it was cooler and gave them some time to themselves before getting back to all of their family and friends.
Fabulous speeches followed a delicious wedding breakfast, we managed to pop out for a few more photographs with Lynne & Ben to capture the remainder of the sunset through the trees, then Lynne threw her bouquet (one that she had made not the actual one!) and her niece Mia caught it, much to everyone’s delight – though at 14 she won’t be getting married next we don’t think 😉 The fabulous Justin Banwell & his brother Mike from Black Panther Discos who are the resident DJs got the evening off to a great start, the First Dance was ‘This Year’s Love’ by David Gray, then straight in to some top tunes to get everyone up on the dancefloor, where they pretty much stayed all night except to have some buffet!!!! Can’t wait to photograph our weddings at the Coed Y Mwstwr Hotel, always a great day!
