Another day, another wedding at The Bear Hotel in Cowbridge South Wales! I live down the road so it is always amazing just being able to walk to work! Beckie & Aaron booked me YEARS ago so it was amazing to actually go ahead and finally capture their day! Working along side some amazing vendors (and must mention Beckie & Aaron’s fabulous friends and family!) made the day a complete blast!
I always get asked what happens during the pre wedding photo shoots, so I try to share them as much as I can!
Here is a shoot I did in the summer of 2021 with these two love birds! We had a lovely walk around the gardens behind City Hall and Cardiff Museum.
It involved a lot of laughing, joking around and hugs <3 I try to keep it fun and natural.
Sophie & Daniel hired me for a half day wedding from the beginning. Then with covid happened, getting in the way, they moved it forward by two months. As not much would change, they went ahead with their stunning day!
It was relaxed, full of happiness and joy! I wasn’t in the church for the ceremony as I wasn’t part of the numbers allowed at the time. It made me sad, but tried to make up for it with the family gatherings outside.
Here is a basic run through of what went down outside the church. Then we did their private photos inside Coity Castle, Bridgend.
Here’s the teaser selection of the glorious day of Emily & Jake! Very difficult to choose which ones to share out of the whole album!
The most beautiful flowers (From best buds), the best M&S Caterpillar wedding cake, live band to die for, and somehow convinced the entire marque of guests to leave for sparklers at the end of the evening!
Enjoy!
Carrying on with the importance of pre wedding photo shoots, and practising for your big day! We were so lucky with this absolutely fabulous sunset down Southerndown Beach.
Getting Emily and Jake warmed up for their wedding last year and they smiled through this entire photo shoot and their wedding. The pre shoots are also good for me so I can see what you are like in front of the camera and I know what I’m working with ready for your special day.
Every pre shoot is different and I go with the flow on how comfortable you both are.
But guaranteed you’ll get beautiful images at the end!
That sunset though! dam…
July 2019 was a very hot month, and this particular wedding day was no exception.
Reaching highs of 31 degrees, the hottest wedding I’ve done yet! But Tom & Lowri breezed through the day!
Here is a favourite collection from the beautiful day. Celebrating with their two lovely babies, friends and family, they were all a joy to be around.
I loved photographing all the little details at this Welsh wedding. Along with the stunning vineyard setting, they have a woodland walk and a pond to take the bride & groom. The sunset is always perfect amongst the vines and the gorgeously decorated marquee completes the whole album.
A perfect day! I’m glad the cake didn’t melt….
