Laura & The Goth

Due to this nasty ol’ pandemic, I got to shoot my FIRST wedding of the year on the 22nd of August!!

It’s been quite a kick to the metaphorical shin not getting to work this wedding season but a delightfully eccentric couple bought joy and colour for me to capture at their intimate wedding!

Laura & The Goth were due to get married in London back in May but obviously their plans were scuppered. They couldn’t wait any longer to get married, so hot-footed it to Llandrindod Wells registry office and asked me to join them. With the Welsh restrictions, only 6 people were allowed into the ceremony, so I got to be a witness!!  A lovely and surreal honour!

After the ceremony we went around the scenic Rock Park and then over to the river in Knighton with Lauras parents and Goths ‘Best Wo(man)’!

It was belting it down with rain for the vast majority of the photos but that didn’t dampen the mood.  This little party were full of happy beans and up for getting a bit soggy … Bravo!

I will be photographing Laura & Goths official ‘wedding day’ at some future date yet to be determined.  So expect more colour and creativity to come!

Jess & Jarrod

I had the privilege of shooting the lovely Jess and Jarrod’s wedding on the 21st of September!

I was with them for a half day – so capturing the biggest and best bits!

It was a delight to nip into the Wyre Forest for the couple shots.  It was such a beautiful sunny day so the light was streaming through the trees – idyllic!

I know Jess a little, and from what I discerned, she is a sweet, mild, demure young lady! But y’know, it’s lovely to get to spend time with the Bride and Groom on their wedding day – you always get to have a greater insight into their characters.  With Jess, their is more courage and inner strength than you can shake a stick at –  I felt bizarrely proud!  And Jarrod is just such a genuinely kind and lovely guy!

I wish you both all the happiness in your marriage … and all the adventures Australia can throw at you!

(They’ve moved to Oz if this last sentence confuses you!)

 

Denise & Peter

It was an absolute privilege to spend a few hours with Denise and Peter this week.  This lovely couple were getting married after 20 years of being together!

Very spur of the moment, they decided to get married at the Offas Dyke Center in Knighton all by themselves!  With some encouragement from family members however, they asked me to capture this special moment.

I took some photographs around the beautiful treehouse they were staying in beforehand at Squirrels Nest and my goodness, it was stunning!

This was the most low-key wedding I have shot, but in no way was it any less in love and meaning.  It was wonderful to see the strength of feeling and conviction between Denise and Peter after two decades together … and may it continue for many more!
