St. Donats Castle Wedding

This post contains a choice of our favourite wedding photos from the wedding of Lucy & Julian who were married at St. Donats Castle in the Vale of Glamorgan.  Lucy got ready in a room provided by St. Donats Castle with her mum and bridesmaids.  As Julian is from Germany, the day had a definite Bavarian feel to it.  The ceremony was held inside because of the weather, but everyone went outside in the windy conditions after to have their drinks and hors d’oeuvres.  We were able to use areas both inside and outside the beautiful grounds at St. Donats Castle.  Lucy even braved the elements for an evening paddle in her wellies!!!

Llantwit Major Wedding

Here are some of our favourite images from Pippa & Chris’s Llantwit Major wedding at St. Illtud’s Church, in the Vale of Glamorgan.  Followed by a Marquee reception at Tresilian Bay between Llantwit Major and St. Donats.  We started at the house in Tresilian Bay where Pippa was getting ready with her mum, brother and bridesmaids.  Pippa was taken to St. Illtud’s Church for the Llantwit Major Wedding in a horse and carriage which was great to capture as she was approaching down the narrow streets.  Luckily the rain held off long enough for us to get the wedding photography of the families at the church.  Pippa had noticed a farmers field of wheat on her way to the church so we stopped there for some bridal wedding photography on the way back to the house, the views over the channel were great.  It was great to do a Llantwit Major Wedding as the church is literally right on our doorstep.
