Here are a few of our favourite images from our latest wedding of Eleanor & Matt at Llansantffraed Court Hotel, near Abergavenny. We joined Eleanor, her bridesmaids and family at the hotel, where they were getting ready applying their own make up, beautifully! All was calm and once the bridesmaids in their chocolate brown dresses from the Cardiff Bridal Centre and her Mum were ready they helped Eleanor in to her beautiful dress which was from Sentiments in Bridgend. We met up with Matt once he had arrived at the hotel with his Groomsmen and family. The boys looking very smart in their grey Hugo Boss suits with orange ties that complimented the colour theme for the day of Autumnal colours. We were able to photograph Eleanor and her family prior to the ceremony too just before proceedings got under way. The flowers from Hilary’s in Abergavenny added the final touch with beautiful bouquets and decorative roses also in the autumnal colours of orange and cream. Once the lovely ceremony had taken place it was dry enough for the Bridal party and their guests to be outside on the lovely terrace at Llansantffraed Court Hotel and enjoy their welcome drinks, despite the cold, whilst we took the family photographs on the pathway under the trees that are a beautiful colour at this time of year, just perfect for Eleanor & Matt’s day. They then enjoyed a beautifully cooked meal before speeches got under way with laughter and tears! Having cut the gorgeous cake made by Boutique Bakehouse in Bristol the reception room was cleared to make way for the band, family friends of Matt’s, who played a fab mixture of music and kept the dance floor full all night!! Looking forward to seeing the happy couple again when they return from their amazing honeymoon in Bali!

Here are a few of our favourite images from Andy & Paul’s Civil Partnership that took place at Pencoed House Estate. We arrived a bit earlier than planned and the boys were already virtually ready and the sun was shining, so we wasted no time in getting some fab photographs of the both of them in their ‘bridal’ cottage and the beautiful grounds prior to the ceremony! Andy looked extremely smart in his black suit which was complimented by a silver waistcoat and purple tie & handkerchief which went perfectly with Paul’s equally smart black and purple kilt attire that was from Dyfed Menswear! Both of their immediate families were getting ready in the cottage close to theirs so we captured family photographs, champagne toasts and more than a few emotional tears! The colour theme for the day was black, white, silver & purple, the ceremony/reception room had been decorated accordingly and looked stunning, only outshone by the magnificent cake that was displayed from the beginning of the day, made by Happy Occasions Cakes (aka Paul!) The beautiful flowers from Lisa at Bella B in Penarth added the final touch. Once the guests had been seated Paul was walked down the aisle by his Mum, Mary closely followed by Andy and his Mum, Ann. Once the Civil Partnership was completed and whilst the register was being signed a singer stood up to serenade us, however, she sang Abba’s ‘I do, I do, I do , I do, I do’ ….and before long all of the guests had joined in too!! We managed to get everyone outside for a big group photograph and confetti before the rain finally came, but the families and friends were happy to be photographed under umbrellas. Chrissy Marshall of Sensible Pencil entertained the guests by sketching their Caricatures, whilst Shelley Fairplay played beautiful background music on her harp. The food provided by Spiros Catering was excellent. The speeches were fab from Paul & his Dad, Andy and his best friend Heidi. The whole day was kept smooth running by MC Jim Young who added messages from absent friends and family. The grand finale to the day was Andy & Paul doing their first dance which they had added their own twist to and had rehearsed a routine to perform to Shirley Bassey’s ‘get this party started’! It was amazing! The resident DJ made sure top tunes were played to keep everyone dancing!

The fab wedding day of Stacey & Stephen started at The City Hall, Cardiff for an intimate Civil Ceremony in front of their close family & friends. Stephen, looking very smart in his Ted Baker suit and their son Rhys, their Page Boy in a matching suit and waistcoat. They arrived along with his family including his Grandad and his Best Man, Craig. As it was raining initially we managed to take a few photographs under cover just outside the entrance to the City Hall. Shortly after which Stacey and her Dad, Terry, arrived, driven by a close friend Mike. Stacey looked gorgeous in her dress from Berkertex Brides and she was joined by their daughter Jennifer who, with Jessica were the Flower Girls and her best friend Katie was her Bridesmaid. They all looked stunning in white & red, the colour theme for the day. It was an emotional ceremony, with lots of cheers for the lovely couple! The rain had stopped and the sun was even trying to shine so we walked over to the fountains and took some family & friends photographs before whisking Stacey & Stephen over to the picturesque Museum steps for some photographs of just the two of them. The reception venue in Rhiwbina Recreational Club was almost unrecognisible as it had been decorated beautifully with organza and fairy lights and was the location for a gorgeous wedding breakfast and fab speeches. The magician kept the children entertained before the disco started and the dancefloor didn’t empty after Stacey and Stephen had taken to the floor for their first dance! It was a very relaxed day, just what they wanted!

Katy & Mike travelled from their home in Oxford for their lovely wedding in St Isan’s Church, Llanishen and The New House Country Hotel, Thornhill. Since the romantic proposal on Swyncombe Down in Oxfordshire Katy and her Mum, Sheila, had arranged the wedding contacting local suppliers to enhance the day. Such as the beautiful flowers from The Flower Lodge in Rhiwbina which had the added touch of sprigs of Rosemary in them! It was very calm at Katy’s parent’s house when we arrived, hair had been done and Katy was applying her own make up before getting in to her stunning Bridal gown from High Society in Cowbridge with the help of her Mum and 2 Bridesmaids. Two cars from Kennedy Classics transported the Bridal party to the church where we had gone ahead to photograph Mike with his family, his Best Man and Ushers (all of the Ushers were family members too!). It was at this point that we met the gorgeous Flower Girls and Page Boy. It was a misty, damp day but everyone was smiling and it didn’t stop the guests enjoying themselves. After the lovely ceremony there was an array of umbrellas and lots of photographs. We even managed a confetti shot under the litch gate. At the New House Country Hotel we photographed the families in the Wyndham suite where the reception was and took some fab shots of Katy and Mike in their Bridal Suite. Luckily it then had time to dry up outside so we went to the amazing Sequoia tree in the grounds – one of the tallest of its kind in Wales! We were lucky enough to be able to enjoy the delicious wedding breakfast with the guests before taking some more photographs of them during the speeches. The evening was started by the band, Undercover, who played their first dance and got people on the dance floor immediately with their excellent set. Katy & Mike are now enjoying their honeymoon in Sicily, lucky things!!

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!

The New House Country Hotel was the fab setting for Kellieann and Ian’s intimate wedding! Kellieann went to the hairdresser and then got to the New House Country Hotel to have her make up done by Siobhan and to get dressed in to her gorgeous wedding dress with a pretty lace neckline and her white converse ‘bling’ daps! Her daughter Melanie and one of her bridesmaids were there to help out. The theme was bright and colourful with the flowers designed by Rob & CJ at The Village Flower Studio, Rumney, Cardiff. When the other 3 Bridesmaids arrived they got into their individually coloured dresses one orange, one yellow, one purple and one pink! Gerberas were the chosen flower that made up the bouquets, button holes & table decorations, with the added touch of a ‘Freedom Rose’! Ian and his Groomsmen, their Dads and Sons were all in Morning Suits with smart top hats. Kellieann’s proud teenage Sons Connor & Cameron walked their Mum down the aisle to Ian, with 2 ring bearers leading the way! After the ceremony we all went outside. We took a photograph of the whole wedding party from above with the stunning views of Cardiff in the background. Once again, the weather was lovely and so we were able to take all of the photographs outside, utilising the beautiful grounds from the huge Sequoia tree to the landscaped gardens with the house as a backdrop! The speeches were fab from the Bride’s Dad to the best Man who was Ian’s brother, who along with other family and friends of Ian had travelled from Liverpool for the occasion! The evening got under way with their DJ Alan playing their First Dance and then playing some more top tunes that got everyone on to the dancefloor!

We were lucky to work locally again last Saturday at the stunning St Donats Castle and Church for Ceri & Phil’s fab Wedding Day! We started our day in Dinas Powys at Ceri’s parent’s house, she was back from the hairdresser when we arrived, her Sister, Zoe was doing her make up and Dad, Ian, was cooking their breakfast on the barbeque outside! The 3 Bridesmaids got into their Royal Blue dresses before helping Ceri into her beautiful dress from Berketex Brides that had lovely lace detail on the shoulders that followed down through the whole dress and the flowers from the Market Garden in Ely complimented all of the dresses and suits. Proud Mum, Margo & Dad were waiting at the bottom of the stairs with the Bridesmaids and we then went outside in to the immaculate garden for some photographs. Phil, the boys and his family were waiting patiently at the church in their smart navy suits from Jo Mclaren in Teddington. It was lovely to see Father Anthony again, he gave a lovely service and made everyone feel relaxed and welcome. The weather was ‘unexpectedly’ gorgeous so we were able to take all of the photographs outside, everyone walked back up the hill from the church to the castle and had welcome drinks and canapés in the courtyard and out on the terrace. After the tasty wedding breakfast, provided by the Town and Country Caterers we went with Ceri & Phil down to the waters edge, it had poured down whilst they were eating so there were some cool clouds to incorporate! All their guests were great fun and took part in a Marryoke of Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing filmed by Sally & Emma of Orchid Films, for a look at the hilarious results click here. After cutting the cake that was made by Bridesmaid, Rhianna, they took to the dancefloor and once their first dance had occurred the brilliant band ‘Session’ took to the stage, they were also guests, Ceri was also one of the other Bridesmaids!

Llansantffraed Court Hotel was the beautiful setting for their Civil Ceremony and it was a relaxed atmosphere with the ceremony taking place at 4pm. We hadn’t had a rainy Wedding day for a while, but it didn’t stop Rachel & Kris having their photographs taken outside on their Wedding Day! We joined Rachel and her Bridesmaids, Mum & Aunt in the Bridal suite where she had her make up applied by Leanne and her hair styled by Gaynor & Sian. We left them all to it for a little while to go and find Kris and his Best Man, Usher and family to take some pre-ceremony photographs, all of the men looked smart in their light grey suits from Dyfed Menswear and the ladies looked gorgeous in their outfits too! When we went back to the Bridal suite the Bridesmaids were in their fuschia coloured dresses and they then helped Rachel in to her beautiful dress from All About Eve in Newport and her wedding shoes which were unusually sparkly from Rainbow! It started to rain before the ceremony so Rachel and her Dad stayed inside the hotel to enter. After a very emotional ceremony everyone stayed indoors with their welcome drinks and were really happy to come outside under a huge tree that acted as a canopy and kept everyone dry! Rachel & Kris were brilliant sports and remained outside for their Bridal portraits, happy to walk under our white Bridal ‘double umbrella’! After their beautiful meal it was time for the speeches, all 7 of them! There was just a bit of time to have a few more photographs of their friends and then the DJ got the evening started with their first dance and got everyone else up dancing straight afterwards. They are heading off on their honeymoon in September to Las Vegas, where Kris proposed!!!

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.
