Rosedew Farm Wedding | Sorelle + Lewis

Wedding Photography from Rosedew Farm, Llantwit Major.

Earlier in the year, we had the amazing pleasure of photographing Sorelle & Lewis's beautiful wedding at Rosedew Farm in Llantwit Major. A stunning venue which made a perfect setting for this rustic styled wedding. When we did a pre-wedding visit to Rosedew Farm a few days before we were taken back by how perfect this venue was for the relaxed style of weddings we love to capture. With a rural feel and just a couple of minutes away from the stunning Llantwit Major beach, it has so much to offer that other venues don’t. Not only that but at the time of year, I visited it was surrounded by acres of bright yellow rapeseed fields all of which were in full bloom. After seeing that it didn't take a genius to figure out where we would go for the Bride and Groom photos once their wedding day arrived.

Sorelle happens to be an accomplished and successful photographer herself (you can see her work here), so when we took the booking we were excited to find someone who understands what photographing a wedding is all about, at the same time it also meant we had to deliver work that exceeded the expectations of someone who knows her stuff as far as photography goes. No pressure then!

Judging from the amazing feedback we received from Sorelle and Lewis after the wedding we happy to say we achieved our goal. When we think back to their wedding it brings back so many beautiful memories of love, happiness and real emotion. You only have to scroll through the images below to see what we mean.

We hope you enjoy the story of Sorelle and Lewis's magical day at Rosedew Farm!

Kind words from Sorelle and Lewis.

"I cannot even tell you how happy Lewis and I are with the images. They are incredible, everything I wanted and more. You have captured so many moments! Some we forgot about and some we didn't know had happened! It has made us want to do it all over again. I cannot wait to share with friends and family, and most importantly get them all printed so I can see them on my walls every day. We cannot thank you enough, you are both seriously talented. Thank you for capturing memories that will last our lifetime xxx"

De Courceys Manor Wedding | Laura + Michael

Wedding Photography at De Courceys Manor, Pentyrch.

Earlier this year we had the honour of capturing another amazing day of celebration with Laura and Michael at De Courceys Manor in Cardiff. We met Laura & Michael at a wedding fayre and they decided on us as their wedding photographers because they wanted wedding images that captured the essence of their day! They wanted natural storytelling images, rather than what they have experienced at previous friends weddings. And they really did not want their day to turn into some kind of ‘production’ with a never-ending list of staged photos. They knew that wasn’t them nor what they were looking for in terms of photography. Fortunately, they found us and loved our more relaxed style of photography, and we’re so happy they did!

What we particularly enjoyed about this wedding was the way Laura and Michael, their families and friends were so willing to accept us into their day and let us do our thing without being overly aware that they were being photographed. This meant we were able to get close to the action and catch everything as it happened naturally. We feel this is what makes their wedding images truly authentic and why we enjoyed spending the day with them and their wonderful families and friends so much. Here are a few of our favourite images from this amazing De Courceys Manor wedding. Thank you both for such an awesome day!

Kind words from Laura and Michael.

Thank you so much! The photos are fantastic! We can't stop looking through them! Thanks for all your hard work in documenting our special day so beautifully!

Mansion House Llansteffan Wedding | Georgia + Ellis

Wedding photography from the Mansion House Llansteffan, Carmarthenshire.

Georgia & Ellis chose the beautiful venue of the Mansion House Llansteffan for their dream wedding day. It’s a local venue for us and somewhere we’re always very excited to return too. With stunning views across the Tywi estuary, it’s easy to see why this is such a popular venue and why couples fall in love with this place, just look at the opening image below!

We first met Georgia and Ellis over a Skype call after they found us online. No matter how many of those Skype calls we do, they never seem to get any easier or less awkward! Don’t think we’re alone on that one. Lucky we also had an opportunity to meet them in person before the wedding. Meeting before the wedding day always makes things easier for both parties when the big day finally arrives. We highly recommend that couples try to meet with us at least once before the wedding day. After all, nobody wants two strangers photographing their dream wedding day so building a rapport is a great way to gain trust.

Looking through the images you will get a good indication of what a lovely couple Georgia and Ellis make. These two have so much affection and understanding for each other, which made photographing their wedding so enjoyable! It wasn’t just the connection between themselves that made the day special, but also the connection they had with their families and friends. Everyone from their close family played an important role in the success of their day. Whether it was making speeches, performing readings or simply walking Georgia down the aisle. It all added to the closeness and intimacy of the day.

Here are some of our favourite images from their magical day. We hope you enjoy this beautiful wedding story.

Buckland Hall Wedding | Carys + Steve

Wedding photography from Buckland Hall, Brecon Beacons.

Last year was a brilliant year for us. We photographed so many amazing weddings, for so many amazing couples. All of whom welcomed us into their lives, entrusting us with the honour of capturing the most important day of their lives. Without doubt Carys & Steve gave us one of the warmest welcomes. Being able to instantly connect with them through our shared love of the great outdoors and travel made the perfect blend for a great rapport. Their love for the outdoors had a big influence on their chosen wedding venue. Set in the stunning countryside of Brecon Beacons, the venue of Buckland Hall was the perfect match for them.

Blessed with perfect weather and a mix of family and close friends. Their day had a cozy and relaxed atmosphere where everyone had a chance to unwind and enjoy. Even Jess, Carys and Steve's dog who made a special guest appearance. Had her own space to let-loose for a few games of fetch!

Here is the beautiful story of their special day and the stunning example of Buckland Hall wedding. A perfect wedding day for two amazing people, clearly made for each other! ;)

Thank you so much Carys and Steve for allowing to be a part of your magical day!

Kind words from Carys & Steve....

Rich and Maria......Thank you so much for photographing our wedding at Buckland Hall on the weekend. You were AMAZING.....everything from your effort of visiting the venue before the big day to 'get a feel of the place', to our photos in the morning before the ceremony, the organisation but relaxed nature of the group photos, to our special 'couple' photographs. You did not stop throughout the whole day, and it never felt intrusive.... half the time I didn't know you were there! We especially loved the little extras such as photos with our dog and 'just one more location' as you had found the perfect place! We had lots of fun during the photos too which I'm sure will show through! Cannot wait to see our photos and again want to say a massive THANK YOU to you both.

We cannot recommend you highly enough. Love Carys and Steve xx

Gemma and Craig Gallivan’s Wedding

Gemma and Craig Gallivan wedding at Corran Resort and Spa, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire.

Gemma and Craig Gallivan chose the beautiful Corran Resort & Spa for their wedding day celebration. A perfect venue for a wedding celebration with a difference!

We have to admit it’s not every day we receive an enquiry from someone with celebrity status. If you don’t know who Craig Gallivan is then we highly recommend you check his Wikipedia page here. In a nutshell, his profile reads, a Welsh actor best known for playing Callum Watson in Footballers Wives', the ITV2 spin-off drama Footballers' Wives: Extra Time and more recently as Luke (Morris) Morgan in the Sky1 television comedy series Stella. In August 2018 took over in the lead role in the West End musical School of Rock becoming the longest-serving Dewey in the shows West End history. There is so much more to read about Craig, but you get the picture!

We mentioned earlier that their wedding was a celebration with a difference, and we meant it. These guys set out to make their wedding day something very special and without spoiling the story we would encourage you to scroll through the images below and make to the end. By the time you reach the final images, you understand exactly what we mean by different! We’ve never experienced a wedding with such an amazing set-up as this!

Regardless of Craig’s involvement in TV, they hosted a day that was very much focused on their amazing families and close friends. The day had a very natural and intimate feel to it and it was for that was the reason that Gemma and Craig chose us as their photographers. They simply wanted the day captured as naturally as possible. Without any direction or orchestrating. Here is the wedding story of Gemma and Craig’s beautiful day of celebration.
