New House Country Hotel Wedding - Liv & James

Liv & James’ Fun-Filled Summer Wedding at New House Country Hotel, Cardiff

There’s something truly special about a New House Country Hotel Cardiff wedding — the stunning views, the relaxed country charm, and that beautiful summer light that makes every photo glow. Liv & James’ big day at this gorgeous Cardiff wedding venue was the perfect example of how magical it can be.

From the moment I arrived, the excitement was contagious. Liv and her bridal party got ready in one of the elegant suites, full of laughter (and a few happy tears). James and the groomsmen were just as relaxed, enjoying the sunshine and a few pre-ceremony jokes before the day officially began.

The ceremony took place in the hotel’s beautiful grounds, surrounded by family, friends, and — of course — their adorable dog, who completely stole the show! Having their pup there made the day feel even more personal and full of warmth.

After the vows, guests enjoyed drinks and canapés overlooking the stunning Cardiff skyline — one of the reasons so many couples fall in love with New House Country Hotel. The setting is perfect for relaxed, natural wedding photography, and Liv & James were an absolute dream to photograph as they laughed their way through the afternoon together.

The Party starts!

As the sun began to set, the celebrations moved indoors for an evening full of heartfelt speeches, great food, and non-stop dancing. The dance floor was packed from the first song, with everyone joining in to celebrate this amazing couple.

I absolutely loved photographing this New House Country Hotel Cardiff wedding — it was full of fun, love, and genuine moments that showed exactly why this venue is such a favourite for couples getting married in South Wales.

Liv & James, thank you so much for letting me be part of your beautiful day. I wish you (and your lovely dog!) a lifetime of happiness together.

Julie & Mike - Lysaught Institute Newport Wedding

Hi there! Thanks for making your way to this page! Today i’m posting some of my photos from Julie & Mike’s wedding.

On the 12th of September, I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating the wedding of Julie and Mike at the wonderful Lysaght Institute in Newport. It was one of those days that just felt easy, joyful, and full of love — the kind of wedding that perfectly reflects the couple at the heart of it. Also shout out to the Moylan sisters - Flaunt who are always lush to work with.

From the moment we arrived, there was such a calm, happy atmosphere. Julie and Mike are both incredibly down-to-earth, and their day mirrored that beautifully — relaxed, genuine, and filled with laughter. The Lysaght Institute was the perfect setting, offering a lovely blend of elegance and comfort, with plenty of space for guests to mingle and enjoy themselves.

Julie looked beautiful in her dress, and Mike couldn’t stop smiling from the moment he saw her. Their ceremony was heartfelt — you could feel the warmth in the room as they exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends.

Afterwards, everyone enjoyed drinks, chatting, and laughter. The details throughout the day were personal and thoughtful — from the décor to the music, everything had that lovely handmade touch that made it feel truly “them.” We dodged the rain just in time after confetti & the group shot!

As the evening rolled in, the dance floor came alive! Guests of all ages joined in, and the room was filled with energy, music, and plenty of happy faces. It really was one of those weddings where you could tell everyone was having the best time.

Julie and Mike’s wedding was a wonderful reminder that the best days are often the most relaxed ones — where love, laughter, and good company take centre stage.

Congratulations once again to this amazing couple — here’s to a lifetime of happiness together!

Clearwell Castle Winter Wedding - Jenny & Ross

Hi there and thanks for finding your way to this blog. Today I am posting some images and talking about Jenny & Ross’s winter wedding at Clearwell Castle. I love working at this venue. It is such a beautiful place and this wedding was no different. Jenny & Ross are lovely people and there day was full of joy and laughter. Both Jenny & Ross talked to me before the wedding about how they felt they were not comfortable in front of the camera but they both absolutely smashed it.

As you can see from the images, the wedding took place a week or so before Christmas and the castle looked amazing dressed with Christmas trees and festive decorations. It was amazing to work alongside Ruth Tong & the bloom room who both were incredible. The ceremony was lush, heartfelt and true to the couple. The rest of the day was filled with lots of catching up with family and friends in this beautiful setting. There are so many beautiful grounds here. I think it shows that you can get married in any season and still get amazing photos! Clearwell has a lot of shelter under the tree’s so even in the rain, you are able to get some great shots with the castle in the background. I also hope these photos show that you can feel a little shy in front of a camera and still get some amazing photos and enjoy the process.

Here’s what Jenny & Ross has to say about their photos. ‘We used Joe for our wedding at Clearwell Castle and he was perfect. The photos we received are stunning and we received so many compliments about him from our guests as well.’

I really hope you have enjoyed looking through these images from this winter wedding at Clearwell Castle. If your looking for inspiration or perhaps a photographer for your own wedding, please feel free to send me a message via the contact page or the form below!

Hello, if your looking for Pencoed House wedding photography then please take a look below. Here is a selection of highlights from Kim & Gareth's November wedding at Pencoed House. Pencoed House is located on the outskirts of Cardiff and has a variety of beautiful buildings and grounds. This was my first time working at this venue and I was blown away! Not only despite the fact that its not actually in Pencoed - you would assume, but how beautiful it is. Kim & Gareth were wonderful. I was lucky to have worked with Kim in a previous job and having already known each other made the day all that little bit easier. The whole day was a great example of a relaxed, candid wedding day. Full of joy and laughter throughout and was a pleasure to photograph.

New House Country Hotel Wedding - Jolanta & Richard

If you have found your way to this page you may be looking for New House Country Hotel wedding inspiration. I'm sharing some highlights from an amazing wedding I was lucky enough to photograph. This was the wedding of Jolanta & Richard at the amazing New House Country Hotel. This is an amazing wedding venue that I've been lucky enough to work at quite a few times now. Every time I go there is seems to get better and better.

Jolanta & Richard were so lovely and such a joy to work with. Richard and Jolanta had a first look at there wedding. So they both met on there own (and with me) to see each other before the ceremony. This was the first time I had seen this and it was so amazing and would definitely recommend this to other couples who are looking for ideas for their own weddings.

New House Country Hotel - prep & ceremony

The weather was on and off at this wedding so you may notice that some photos are inside and some are outside. The rain and wind were quite indecisive and would start and stop. However this is a really good example how bad weather won't ruin your wedding day. It will not stop you from getting amazing photos.

Also, I got to see The Wild Sons who are an amazing wedding band that I've bumped into at weddings a bit. They always get all the guests on the dancefloor and this wedding was no exception. I saw one of the longest conga lines known to man - see the photos below. And also, a lot of props on the dancefloor such as masks and inflatables. This led to a lot of fun taking photos of the dancefloor carnage.

My name is Joe, I run Joe Lewis Photography and here are some highlights from a wedding I photographed at the beautiful Hyde House in Cheltenham. Claire & John got married in November 2024 and I was very excited to photograph a wedding at this amazing venue.

Morning prep with bridesmaids at this beautiful venue!

I arrived to meet Claire & John separately, and was blown away with how much amazing space there is at Hyde House. As a candid, natural wedding photographer, its important for me to be able to document the day without getting in the way and this venue certainly allows me to do that. Please take a look at some of the images of the morning and ceremony below.

Myself, Claire & John took some time for some photos of just themselves. We went for a walk for about 10 - 15 minutes so they would not be away from their wedding for too long which is something I always prioritise. I can take beautiful wedding photos without taking you away from your wedding for hours. I want to photograph all the candid and fun moments of your wedding also so, if you want me to photograph your wedding, this is the way I will approach it.

Amazing weather, amazing location!

As you'll be able to see, the weather was amazing which is not something I can always say in Wales. A beautiful location for such a lovely couple. I spent some time photographing the family photos before running around getting lots of candid photos. This is one of my favourite things to do and then get some beautiful photos of the couple themselves. Danni & Andy had spoken to me about feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera. I made sure that the photos looked as candid and natural as possible.

Their ceremony was beautiful and very heartfelt. I feel that the photos really show the connection between them. As always, the Decourceys staff were incredible and the venue looked amazing.
