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.

Insole Court Cardiff Wedding - Nye & Verity
A Relaxed Outdoor Wedding at Insole Court, Cardiff | Nye & Verity
There’s something truly special about photographing a wedding at Insole Court in Cardiff. This historic mansion, with its beautiful gardens and relaxed atmosphere, was the perfect setting for Nye and Verity’s laid-back outdoor celebration. Their day was all about family, friends, and the things they love most — a genuine reflection of who they are as a couple.
A Perfect Day at Insole Court
The morning started in the elegant rooms of Insole Court, where the excitement quietly built as Verity got ready surrounded by her closest family around the corner from the venue. The light streaming through the tall windows created the perfect backdrop for those natural, candid moments I love to capture. Meanwhile, outside, guests were arriving and the gardens were alive with laughter and anticipation.
Their outdoor ceremony took place on the lawn, framed by the house’s Victorian architecture and the soft rustle of the trees. It was relaxed, heartfelt, and full of joy — exactly how a summer wedding at Insole Court should feel. Nye and Verity’s vows were personal and moving, and the smiles that followed said it all.
Relaxed, Family-Focused Celebration
After the ceremony, everyone gathered on the grass for drinks and canapés. Kids ran across the lawns, family groups mingled, and there was an easy sense of connection throughout the day. The couple had thoughtfully designed their wedding to reflect their shared interests — from the music playlist to the handmade decorations, every detail felt personal and meaningful.
As the afternoon turned to evening, the celebration continued with good food, great company, and plenty of laughter. Insole Court’s grounds gave us so many beautiful photo opportunities — from romantic portraits among the trees to fun, spontaneous group shots on the steps of the house.
Why I Love Photographing Weddings at Insole Court
As a Cardiff wedding photographer, Insole Court is one of my favourite venues to work at. Its combination of history, greenery, and relaxed charm makes it ideal for couples who want something elegant yet unfussy. The gardens are stunning in every season, and the variety of spaces means no two weddings ever feel the same.
Nye and Verity’s day was a perfect example of how to make the most of this incredible venue — focusing on connection, love, and personality rather than formality. It was a joy to capture their story.

Canada Lodge & Lake autumnal wedding - Samantha & Lee
Hello, if your getting married at Canada Lodge & Lake and are looking for inspiration then this is the blog post for you. Below are some highlights from Samantha & Lee's November wedding from this beautiful wedding venue on the outskirts of Cardiff. Canada Lodge & Lake is a wonderful venue with lots of amazing space both indoors and outside. Lodges onsite for getting ready down the far side of the lake with amazing views. Personally, I feel this is a very relaxing place. Such a lovely secluded spot. Samantha & Lee met me at another wedding I worked on and was really happy to hear from them when they got in touch. For me, natural and relaxed wedding photography is the best. Luckily for me, this is exactly what Samantha & Lee wanted and booked me for. I hope this is clear from some of the photos below.
Canada Lodge & Lake - Prep & Ceremony
A very relaxed and lovely morning down in the lodge. I love a calm and peaceful morning before the excitement of the ceremony and the build up to those moments.
Autumn sunshine!
Getting married in Wales in November could be a risk with weather, however we got very lucky. The weather was beautiful and could do all the formal photos outside including confetti. Canada Lake Lodge is so pretty and is going to look amazing as a backdrop in any weather.
