Mansion House Llansteffan Wedding Photography

A recent wedding of Georgina and James photographed at the Mansion House Llansteffan near Carmarthen in West Wales.  Georgina got ready at her parents house in the Carmarthenshire countryside with her close family and bridesmaids.  The ceremony was held at the lovely Holy Trinity Church in Nangaredig.  After the ceremony we were able to take a few family portraits in the church grounds before all the guests made their way to the Mansion House Llansteffan.  The weather just about held off for us to finish of the rest of the family group shots and some Bridal portraits of Georgina and James in the Mansion House Llansteffan grounds.  We had the pleasure of working with Andrew O’Leary from SLR Creations, a great videographer we have worked with many times before.  The wedding breakfast was served in a marquee in the hotel grounds.  We took Georgina and James down to Llanteffan beach in the early evening and in spite of the rain got some really atmospheric shots.

Court Colman Winter Wedding Photography

Court Colman Wedding Photography

Winter Wedding photography taken at Court Colman Manor near Bridgend in South Wales.  This wedding, photographed at Court Colman Manor was in December.  A big dump of snow on the Friday evening had us waking up to crystal clear skies with fairytale winter wonderland scenes.  Shirley and Nick traveled back from Perth, Austrailia for their winter wedding with family and friends.  We arrived in the local village of Llandough to find locals helping clear pathways through the snow to the church.  Luckily Nick had access to a four wheel drive as the hill from the Court Colman Manor proved very slippery.  Shirley walked to the church with mum and dad in their wellies.  After the church ceremony all the guests made their way slowly to the hotel.  Nick and Shirley had to make do with our four wheel drive for transport as unfortunately their VW Camper couldn’t make it because of the snow.  We were able to stop for some bridal portraits in the beautiful snow covered lanes en route.  Everything ran smoothly at the hotel in spite of the weather, a magical day!
