Tamara & James – Oldwalls wedding

Hey! I have blogged again, woo! I admit, I am not the most prompt blogger. Here is Tamara and James’s Oldwalls wedding that I photographed last October! Oldwalls is located in the Gower area of Swansea, which is a beautiful part of the world to get married. Tamara & James’s wedding day was a lush, relaxed day with love and laughter all day! Tamara & James were so much fun, we spent all day laughing. You can tell that they adore each other, I think you can see that in the photos because they don’t stop smiling which makes my job pretty easy! Superhero table decorations, birthday cakes & this was the first time I met Adam Reeves, by far the best magician I have met whilst shooting weddings. That guy is so good! As always, send me a message to say hey and check out the gallery for more of my work!

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!

Emma & Gareth’s sparkly welsh wedding!

Today I am blogging Emma & Gareth’s welsh wedding at Tredegar Park Golf club. First of all, Emma & Gareth are so lush its silly. They are such lovely people who genuinely love each other so much. This was the wettest wedding I have ever photographed and did present a few challenges as the rain did not hold off until the late evening. However, living in Wales we are used to a little bit of rain. I’m a professional, I can deal with a bit of water, right? Hair and make up was done by the always lovely Jenna McDonnell (her new shop is Newport is amazing and will have some of work in the wedding showroom!) Emma & Gareth (along with Sophie & Matt – my first ever bride & groom) made so many pom-poms to decorate the room and it looked beautiful. Please scroll through and enjoy! You can also check out Emma & Gareths Pre Wedding shoot and more of my work in the Gallery!

Emma & Chris’s Cardiff theatre wedding – Royal College of Music & Drama

Hello! If you are reading this, well thank you very much, some Cardiff wedding photography fr you today!. In this blog post, i’m writing and showing you some images from Chris & Emma’s Cardiff wedding at the Royal College of Music & Drama Cardiff.

This was one my favourite weddings. I mean, they got married in an actual theatre. Thats awesome! The whole day was so relaxed and being a Cardiff wedding photographer, you deal with your fair share on bad weather. However, the weather was perfect, as was the setting, as was the couple! Also, I feel this Cardiff wedding reignited my love for shooting weddings. Spending all day with Chris & Emma reminded me why I love doing this and my brain went a little bit crazy with creativity.

The Royal College of Music & Drama backs onto Bute Park. If you are not familiar with Cardiff, Bute Park is the park which is right in the middle of the city centre and surrounds Cardiff Castle. This gave us some great opportunities for photographs and the light was just perfect throughout the day. Emma & Chris are so easy to photograph and such lovely people, I felt so lucky to be asked to be a part of their wedding day. Also, this was the first time I tried light trails and this wedding ignited my love for night time portraits. You can check out more welsh weddings in the Gallery page on this site!If you are getting married in Cardiff and are looking for Cardiff wedding photography, send me a message here and lets talk about your wedding plans.

Emma & Gareths Pre wedding Shoot Belle Vue Park Newport

Hello there! If your reading this, well thank you very much! Today, I am posting some images from a pre wedding shoot I did for Emma & Gareth at Belle Vue Park, before their Newport wedding in Tredegar Park golf club. So, I met Emma at the first wedding I ever photographed, where Emma was a bridesmaid (Check out the Gallery to see some of those images). I’m really excited to photograph their big day and I know its going to be a lot of fun! Also, Belle Vue park is favourite place to have a pre wedding shoot, especially before a Newport wedding. There is so many interesting parts to the park and Parc Pantry has the best cakes & hot chocolates (my pre wedding shoots may be arranged around places that have the best cakes & hot chocolates). Pre wedding shoots are such a good way to get used to having your photograph taken before the wedding. I offer these shoots free with all packages and really recommend doing it! its a great way to get to know me, and for me to get to know you and hopefully feel a little more comfortable! I really try not to ‘pose’ or ‘stage’ photos to much, trying to capture those natural moments and the general fun that we have during these shoots! Hope you like it!

DIY Farm wedding in the Welsh Valleys – Mike & Tiff

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas! Today I have blogged one of my favourite weddings of 2017, Mike & Tiff’s Welsh valleys DIY farm wedding. As soon as I met Mike & Tiff, we got on and it was like I had known them forever, they are both lush! This wedding was so much fun, from the dogs walking down the aisle with the rings too the chinese food cooked by the dude who ran the restaurant in the village where they had their first date (aww!). The best mans speech was as it should be, brutal! The weather was pretty awful, and I spoke to Mike the day before as he was pumping the water out of the marquee as it had flooded! However this did not dampen the day at all, if anything, it gave us an awesome rainbow! As always, check out the Gallery for more wedding images!
