Court Colman Wedding

Wedding photography taken at Court Colman Manor near Bridgend in South Wales.  This wedding, photographed at Court Colman Manor was in May.  It was a civil ceremony so everything was at the one venue.  It was great to come back to Court Colman in the spring as the last time we were here was in a foot of snow so the wedding photographs couldn’t be more different.  We were able to really explore the grounds and the Bride and Groom were keen to have some more bridal portraits after they had eaten to take advantage of the lovely evening light and skies.
