Katie & Rhys – Emlyn Hotel

Emlyn Hotel Wedding Photographer

Hello everybody! Today I am blogging Katie & Rhys’s Emlyn Hotel wedding in Newcastle Emlyn, Ceredigion, West Wales. I have been a Emlyn Hotel wedding photographer a few times now and I love working there. The wedding was on the August bank holiday and it was a beautiful day. I remember being so worried about the weather, as the forecast was so bad. It said 100% chance of rain for most of the day, however the met office website is a dirty liar. The weather was actually pretty good and even the sun came out.

The wedding day!

Katie & Rhys are the sweetest people. I think the thing I love the most about photographing weddings is how quickly you get to know people. It starts to feel like you have known each other for years. I defiantly felt that way about these guys.

Katie & Rhys planned a wonderful day from gift giving to closest to them during the morning preparations, to the details of the venue and heartfelt speeches. I was a big fan of the doughnut tiers, rather than a cake. I think i was the first person to delve into the doughnuts, my excuse is all the running round makes me hungry.

Shout out to the Vicar!

Also, I just want to give a shout out to Matthew the Vicar at Felin-Fach church where Rhys & Katie got married. Matthew was so welcoming and I loved his approach to the service. He started the ceremony with jokes about buying the vicar a drink in the pub afterwards, and was generally a good dude.

Thank you for reading and having a look at this post!

If you are having a Emlyn Hotel wedding yourself, send me a message, I would love to come back and shoot your big day.

Coldra Court Wedding – Rachel & Karl

Hey! I am finally getting around to blogging Rachel & Karls Coldra Court wedding in Newport tonight. I have known Rachel for years, having been friends in school and then working together as teaching assistants together years later! Karl and Rachel planned an incredibly sweet and relaxed wedding day that reflected them as a couple, and their family. Tables were named after their favourite bands (I secretly wanted to be on the placebo table, I love placebo!). I asked Karl to throw the wedding rings in the air before the ceremony, as I had this cool idea to capture the rings in mid air. Karl told me that he had already lost the rings once that day! Check the shot out below, its one of my favourite detail shots i’ve taken. Hope you enjoy! Please check out more of my images in the gallery!

Jenna & Tom pre wedding shoot Penarth Pier – Penarth wedding photographer

Hey! As always, if you are reading this, then thank you for checking out what I do as a Penarth wedding photographer and today I have posted photos from Jenna & Tom’s Penarth pre wedding photoshoot. I am so excited to photograph their wedding in November. We met in the early evening at Penarth beach, took a stroll along the sea front and pier, catching up and taking some photos! The guys told me they had one of their first dates at Penarth, so it was really nice to be able to do this shoot there. They are really lovely people! Tom also runs Not Broken, an awesome company specialising in enhancements and adaptations for bike riding, a really positive movement, check it out if you can! Pre wedding shoots are available with all of my wedding packages, however you don’t have to be getting married to have one.
