Knighton Family (take 2!)

So, here we are ten years on with this lovely Knighton family! Jane has just turned 70 and her kids all pitched in as a treat for her to have family photos.

Boy, did this shoot make me feel old … I remember these kids as babies and toddlers, full of beans and mischief. Although that hasn’t really changed! We had a LOT of fun.

The weather was supposed to be raining but it held off … the water balloons, however, did not! I suppose if they thought they were going to get wet anyway – it makes a lot of sense!

The brollies, balloons and bubbles made for an excellent shoot! We even recreated some original shots from 10 years ago – here’s to the next 10 guys!

Anna & Nick

This beautiful wedding gave me SO many highlights to capture!

Anna & Nick both come from farming families, so it’s a given that this was a wedding on a farm … with a massive marquee … SO much meat … and all the hay bales you could ever want.

It was plain to see that this pair are well loved. Two communities came together to celebrate and boy can farmers party hearty!

There was great energy and a lot of laughs all day… I mean, they had a saxophone player groove them into their reception. How cool is that?!

I shall sign off with a big ol’ congratulations to Anna & Nick. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness together with all the adventures to come!

P.S – I couldn’t resist putting in the shot of Dad Rogers sprawled on the sofa … sorry Podge.

Ellis & Lia

What a magnificent whirlwind of weddings this was! My lil’ cousin Ellis got Married * sobs while thinking back to holding him as a baby * … to the stunning and delightful Lia!

Although my baby cuz hails from Wales, he moved to Hamburg when he was five … not on his own of course. So the legal ceremony went down in Germany but then they ventured over to Wales for their main wedding day!

It was a privilege to capture the ceremony in Altona City Hall. A beautiful historic building. It seems like the whole city was in bloom for their wedding too – blossom EVERYWHERE!

My wonderful Aunty Cindy put on a magnificent spread afterwards and look out for the epic ice cream cake … Ellis and Lia weren’t expecting to get an ‘arm day’ in on their wedding day with frozen goods. What a win.

For the Welsh wedding, we ventured over to the stunning Llechwen Hall where we had a lovely ceremony talk given by the one and only Uncle Dale/Best Man! This day was full of feasting, games and one of the best golden hour shoots I’ve experienced * chef’s kiss *

I am so happy for this beautiful pair – Ellie, you found yourself an absolute gem of a woman. I wish you both every happiness and am so happy to have you in the family Lia! Much love and cwtches to you both xxx
