The King Arthur Wedding Photographs of Sam and Lee

The King Arthur wedding of Sam and Lee.

It was lovely to photograph Sam and Lee’s wedding, after meeting Sam so many times as the weddings coordinator in the Towers Hotel, it was delightful to have Sam in front of the camera instead of running behind the scenes organising. After a very very wet start to the day everybody was overjoyed when it finally stopped raining at midday, with the wedding starting at 12.30 this was suburb timing and meant that Sam and Lee could fulfil their wish and have photographs overlooking Tree Cliffs and on Oxwich Beach, although we did have a close call when on the beach, we all had to scamper for the cars at a sudden downpour, a bit wet but we all survived and quite dried out again when we returned to The King Arthur to join up with the rest of the wedding party. Best wishes Sam and Lee it was a pleasure to be part of your big day.

 

 

Morgan’s Hotel Wedding of Jane and Joe.

Morgans Hotel Swansea wedding of Jane and Joe.

Married at St. Teilo Church in Bishopston on a beautiful Autumn Monday afternoon, Jane and Joe certainly enjoyed the glorious weather, calling at Clyne Gardens and Swansea Bay before meeting up with all their family and friends at the Morgan’s Hotel Swansea. We just love the warm tones and dramatic skies this time of year, and of course Jane and Joe looked absolutely fantastic and so in love it was a joy to photograph them.

Sketty Hall Swansea wedding of Katie and Jonathan.

Sketty Hall wedding of Katie and Jonathan.

It was an early start for their wedding day, I at the Morgan’s in Swansea with a few casual photos of Jonathan and his best man and Lucy in Penllergaer at Katie’s mums house photographing the bridal preparations. The ceremony took place at St. David’s Church in Penllergaer, a short walk from mum’s house, but Katie had no intention of walking this crisp autumn morning but arrived in style driven by mum in her elegant vintage Rolls Royce. The reception took place in Sketty Hall a Georgian mansion house bordering on Sketty Park Swansea but set within it’s own superb grounds, always a pleasure to photographing here. But before we arrived to meet family and friends on this beautiful day, just had to stop to take a few photos of the happy couple overlooking Swansea Bay. No stopping Katie and Jonathan after their reception at Sketty Hall, it was straight on to the Morgan’s Hotel Swansea for an evening party with loads of their friends. Enjoy your honeymoon and see you both soon.

Oxwich Bay Hotel Wedding of Carol and John.

Oxwich Bay Hotel Wedding of Carol and John

No wonder Carol and John tried the knot at the Oxwich Bay Hotel situated on Britain’s first designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Oxwich Bay is named as “Britain’s Best Beach” and one of the “Twelve Best Beaches in the World” what better venue could anyone choose. A late afternoon wedding ceremony at the Hotel followed by the reception in the new marquee situated in the hotels grounds overlooking the beautiful Bay. Off course we had to utilize the beach for a few romantic photos of the couple and some fun shots with close family and friends. Enjoy your honeymoon cruise and best wishes for the future.

Not content in having just one wedding party for their wedding when they married in Vegas, Emma and John did the whole bash again for friends and family back home, and boy did they do it in style. Miskin Manor Hotel Cardiff this 10^th Century Manor House has held court to the Prince of Wales (later to become King Edward V111) so is quite accustom to entertaining the finest people of the land, just as well for both Emma and John looked stunning entertaining their guests with a hog roast on this beautiful late summer evening.

Morgans Hotel Swansea Wedding of Heidi and Andrew

Make it work was the theme of the day as set by Heidi when she saw the weather first thing and good on them both they smiled and enjoyed all day despite it. The ceremony in St. Cynogs Ystradgynlais and the reception in Morgans Swansea a perfect setting for the sex in the city style cocktail bash layed on by the happy couple, the mutli coloured bridesmaids caught everybody by surprise, anybody knowing Heidi should of expected something a bit different! Except for the weather everything was perfect and Heidi looked absolutely stunning making Andrew a very proud Husband.  Congratulations both, have a happy ever after!

Margam Park Orangery wedding of Ceri and Michael

Margam Park Orangery wedding of Ceri and Michael.

Married at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, Hillside, Neath on a beautiful September morning, Ceri and Michael couldn’t have been happier, families and friends everybody seemed to be smiling. After the ceremony we travelled straight to Margam Castle for a few romantic images with the couple, they say the spirit of Robert Scott haunts the castle and sometimes the sound of giggling children can be heard through the long dark corridors, but this day the castle was only filled with love and not a sign of any Psychic energy. A short walk away and we joined family and friends at the Orangery for the wedding Breakfast.

Stradey Park Hotel wedding of Rhiannon and David. 30th August 09

Stradey Park Hotel wedding of Rhiannon and David.

What a way to brilliant way to start a wedding with a sing song, David his best men and groomsmen all joined in singing in the Garden Room at the very top of the Stradey Park Hotel, defiantly no pre marriage nerves here. Back to normal with the rainy weather but it didn’t bother Rhiannon and David, only had eyes for each other, don’t think they even noticed. After the ceremony we did pop down to Park Howard Mansion House with the couple for a few romantic images under cover, then back to the Stradey to join all the family and friends for photos in the garden room. The day ended on another musical note, David his best men and groomsmen had all joined together and reformed their old band just for today, they certainly give everybody a treat with their renditions, Britain has Talent had nothing on these boys they were fantastic. Like to thank my good friend Mike Roberts for assisting as second shooter for the day, not as pretty as Lucy but certainly done an excellent job.

King Arthur wedding of Gemma and Richard

King Arthur Wedding of Gemma and Richard

Did we have a great time photographing Gemma and Richard’s big day, I started at the pub with the boys while Lucy photographed the preparations at Gemma’s house. The ceremony took place at All Saints Church, Kilvey overlooking the Swansea Tawe Basin . From there we popped in to visit Richard’s Gran who was poorly in Singleton Hospital, did all the nursing staff have a surprise to see Gemma and Richard all decked out in their finery. Once there we were almost on Swansea beach, it would be a shame not to take a stroll in the sand on such a beautiful day, then on to The King Arthur to meet up with all their friends and family for the wedding breakfast.

The New House Hotel Cardiff wedding of Amanda and Michael.

New House Hotel Cardiff wedding of Amanda and Michael.

It was nice to photograph at the New House Cardiff with it’s unrivalled views over the City of Cardiff and the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan and guess what, some lovely weather for a change, mix this all together and it created the perfect atmosphere for Amanda and Michael’s delightful wedding. Smiles and laughter were easy to capture with this very fun and relaxed couple. Amanda looked stunning  in a satin ivory and pink dress and even the quests looked splendid in their black, cream and pink dress code.
