New House Wedding Photography

Here are a few of our favourite images from our latest wedding of Gemma & Matt at St Mary’s Church in Whitchurch and then at The New House Country Hotel, Thornhill, Cardiff.  Gemma got ready at her Parent’s house in Thornhill, helped by her bridesmaids, who also were responsible for her lovely hair & make up!.  The sun kindly popped it’s hat on which makes everyone feel relieved and adds to the happiness of the occasion.  The house was lovely & light and made it easy to photograph the morning’s proceedings and the conservatory provided the backdrop for the family & bridesmaids photographs.   The bridesmaids looked gorgeous in long mocha coloured dresses which were from High Society in Cowbridge, really complimented Gemma’s beautiful weddind gown.  Added to the ensemble were 4 flower girls and a page boy who are Gemma & Matt’s nieces & nephews and a bridesmaid’s daughter!  Matt, his best man and Ushers and his & Gemma’s Dad looked really smart dressed in grey suits with cream waistcoats and pink cravats to match the bridal bouquet flowers that Gemma’s Auntie had arranged  – though Matt stood out as the only one to wear a cream cravat!   The gift bouquets for the Mums and key family & friends were supplied by Covent Garden Florists.  The cake was made by a good friend as was the place names.  The ceremony took place in St Mary’s Church, Whitchurch, Cardiff, the service was taken by Canon Chancellor John Rowlands.  Matt’s family are parishioners at the church so it was a very personal ceremony.   After the ceremony we were able to take some photographs outside the church, particularly the traditional ‘confetti’ shot just outside under the litch gate.  Guests then made their way to The New House Country Hotel for drinks and canapes.  We shot all of the family portraits in front of the hotel, utilising the magnificent view over Cardiff which made a great backdrop.  We also had time to shoot a few Bridal Portraits of Gemma & Matt before the wedding breakfast and speeches commenced in the Wyndham Suite, which boasts it’s own terrace with the amazing view.  Table decorations provided by Emma Hall Designs, Colwinston.  We also took advantage of some lovely early evening light to capture a few more bridals and have a bit of fun with the Hen & Stag party friends.  The evening entertainment was provided by the resident DJ Alan Griffiths who got everyone up dancing the night away!!!

Caradoc Court Wedding Photography

Here are a few of our favourite images from last Saturdays wedding of Nicola-xan & Ant at Caradoc Court, a magnificent 17th century Jacobean manor house near Ross on Wye, Herefordshire.  Nicola-xan and Ant both got ready in rooms at Caradoc Court.  Nicola-xan got ready in the lovely bright Bridal Suite with help from her close friend Laura and her bridesmaids.  Much to everyone’s relief the weather co-operated and got better and better as the day progressed.  This was great for us as the ground looked stunning with Tulips, Cherry Blossom and Magnolia out in full force.  It was great fun shooting with Alan & Helen Grove of Grove Video Services, always a pleasure to have around on the wedding day.  The bridesmaids looked stunning dressed in purple Dessy Collection which really complimented Nicola-xan’s beautiful wedding gown from Blue in Cardiff.  Ant, his best men and Ushers looked really smart kitted out by Dyfed Menswear.  The bridal bouquet and table decorations were supplied by the Florist of Cardiff whose flowers always look amazing.   The ceremony took place in the spectacular Great Hall with rings provided by Parkhouse Jewellers of Cardiff.   After the ceremony all the guests took advantage of the lovely weather and beautiful grounds to enjoy their drinks and canapes.  We shot all the family portraits in the gardens, utilising a few different backdrops.  We also had time to shoot a few Bridal Portraits of Nicola-xan & Ant before the wedding breakfast and speeches commenced in the panelled ballroom. We also took advantage of some lovely early evening light to capture a few more bridals.  The evening entertainment was provided by DJ Grant Reynolds of the Boutique Disco who got everyone up dancing the night away!!!

Margam Park Orangery Wedding Photography

Here are a few of our favourite images from last Saturdays wedding of Charlie and Ryan at Margam Park Orangery, near Port Talbot.  The day started at Charlie’s parents house in the Mumbles, Swansea with her parents and bridesmaids helping with the proceedings.  We met Ryan at St. Paul’s Church, Sketty, Swansea prior to the ceremony.  The ushers were doing a great job, ferrying the guests into church under umbrellas.   Charlie was driven to the church in the very cool VW Beetle.  Ryan’s Uncle Bernard helped officiate the service making it all the more special and aided by the beautiful singing form the Dunvant Male Voice Choir.  The rain was still relentless so there was no hanging about at the church and all the guests made their way to Margam Orangery for the reception.  We were lucky enough to get access to the House at Margam to do some of the Bridal portraits.  Charlie and Ryan even ventured out at dusk into the abbey ruins for a few shots at some of their favourite spots.  Their band Perfect Day provided the evening entertainment.

Llansantffraed Court Hotel

Llansantffraed Court Hotel Wedding Photography

This post contains a choice of our favourite images from the wedding of Kate & Damien at Llansantffraed Court Hotel, near Abergavenny.  Kate got ready with her bridesmaids in one of the rooms at Llansantffraed Court Hotel.  The ceremony took place at the St.Bridges, the small church at the end of the grounds at the Llansantffraed Court Hotel, where we met Damien and the boys.  It was certainly a tight squeeze in the church, but at least it kept everyone a little warmer in the freezing December conditions.  We took a few shots outside the church before walking back to the Hotel with Kate and Damien and getting inside out of the cold.  The marquee looked amazing, helped as usual by the beautiful table displays from Emma at Love Lily in Abergavenny.

De Courceys Wedding Photography Cardiff

These are a few of our favourite images from the recent wedding of Katie & Brian photographed at De Courceys Manor in Pentyrch, Cardiff, South Wales.  Katey started her day at her mums house with her sister and mum helping her get ready and Victoria from MAC doing her make up.  We then met Brian at De Courceys prior to their Civil Ceremony.  The weather was against us again and we were only able to take a few shots outside under the umbrella, so we took the remainder of the Bridal portraits and the family portraits in the available rooms at De Courceys.  We were with Katey and Brian right up until their first dance, so were able to cover the speeches and the arrival of more evening guests.

Cardiff wedding photographer Andy Stoyle and his wife Sacha have chosen a few of their favourite wedding photographs from Ruth & Marco’s wedding.  Ruth got ready in their home in Barry with her close family.  A vintage coach transported the guests to and from the church.  The wedding mass took place at St. Owain’s Church in Ystradowen.  After the ceremony we took the bridal photographs in a copse of trees in a field adjacent to the church.  We then had a request to take a shot of Marco & Ruth with their staff at Marco’s Cafe on the seafront at Barry Island, a first for this Cardiff wedding photographer.

Brocket Hall Wedding Photography

Brocket Hall Wedding

These are a few of our favourite wedding photos from Saba & Martin’s wedding at Brocket Hall near Hatfield in Hertfordshire.  This was the first time we had photographed a wedding at Brocket Hall so we arrived early to have a good look around.  There was no need to worry as the grounds at Brocket Hall are beautiful with so many great opportunities for wedding photography both inside and out.  We didn’t have to worry about the weather either which is not something we’ve said much this year, it was the hottest day of the year so far and all the guests were able to really make the most of the surroundings.  We decide to use both inside and out to take the bridal portraits as we felt that this would show the venue off.

These are a few of our favourite wedding photos from Rachel & Joseff’s wedding at The Bear Hotel Cowbridge.  Rachel got ready at her parents house in Rhoose with her family and bridesmaids.  It was a very relaxing start to the day.  Her Grandfather drove her to St. Illtud’s Church in Llantwit Major in his vintage Rolls Royce.  It is great to work in our local church, it is so lovely inside.  We did a few family groups at the church and finished the rest at the Bear Hotel Cowbridge.  We took Rachel and Jos on a short walk around Cowbridge Town and the Physic Garden to finish their Bridal Portraits.  Wedding Details:  Venue Bear Hotel Cowbridge, Dress by Ellis Bridal, Flowers by Cariad Designs, Shoes by Faith, Suits by Perfection, Honeymoon in Mexico.

Metropole Hotel Padstow Wedding Photography

Metropole Hotel Padstow Wedding

These are a few of our favourite wedding photos from Claire & Mike’s wedding at The Metropole Hotel Padstow, Cornwall.  Claire & Mike originally had a Welsh wedding planned but changed their minds when they found the Metropole Hotel Padstow.  We jumped at the chance when asked if we could still cover their special day.  We went a day early so we could check the hotel & surroundings.  They were both keen to get some beach shots, so we also went to Harlyn Bay and decided on using the headland area.  On the day the weather was great and Claire & Mike hired a VW Camper to take them to the beach.  As a bonus, there was a lovely ploughed field next to the headland.  We were able to take the rest of the family photographs in the gardens of the Metropole Hotel Padstow.  Wedding Details: Dress by Perfection Bridal, Suits by Dyfed Menswear, Rings by the Diamond Centre Wales, Shoes by Rainbow Couture.
