Where has the time gone?!  I had the pleasure meeting Amanda and Keith a few weeks previous for the pre-wedding shoot and now their wedding has come and gone!

I joined the ladies in the morning at Amanda’s family run golf club after having had a sneak peak at the gorgeous marquee set up on the lawn.

With the ceremony being at 12pm, the morning went by in a flash.  I was at Garthmyl Hall before I knew it watching the lovely Keith, aka ‘Spike’, tear up as his youngest came down the isle prior to the bride.

The ceremony was only 20 minutes but, my goodness, there was a lot of tears and emotion within that space of time! … actually, this was a very emotional wedding throughout the day.

It was a joy to see just how much love this whole family has for one another.  Amanda and Keith are such a lovely couple and adoring of each other and their kids – their matrimony has sealed that family bond even tighter than before.  What can be better than that really?!

This was a wonderful wedding.  The sun was shining, the food was delicious, everyone was happy – you couldn’t ask for more.  But wait, there WAS! … After the first dance, the Groomsmen sprang onto stage with a surprise dance for the Bride! At first it looked like it was going to turn out the be something from the Full Monty but thankfully the bridesmaids joined in and did an epic dance routine!  They had been secretly practicing for months.  It finished with Keith lip syncing to ‘Time of My Life’ from dirty dancing and keep a beady eye out for who did the iconic lift in the photos below!

On the 27th of May I had the pleasure of shooting Jon and Kirsty’s wedding based in and around Bishops Castle.

I was really looking forward to this day – I had a gorgeous couple to photograph, some beautiful scenery, some awesome wedding reception yurts and fireworks … oh, AND a pizza oven (what more can one want?!).

Despite a bit of rain and wind, it was a beautiful wedding.  It was lovely to see a couple so adoring of each other.

Jon & Kirsty, I hope you had an amazing honeymoon in the Maldives! That’s another epic adventure to add to your list and you have so many more to look forward to together as husband and wife!  Congrats!

On Friday the 16th of September I ventured once again down to the delightfully scenic Ross-on-Wye and straight into the ceremony at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

After the ceremony and group photos I was guided to Biblins – which is where our Groom Harry spent a chunk of his childhood!  The area meant a lot to him and I think this helped him feel relaxed in front of the camera … so much so that it was his favourite part of the day! (His words not mine!)

I had such a great time photographing this lovely couple.  For me, the bride & Groom shots are the most important part of the day … a chance for them to chill out and let everything sink in!  Also, I just like getting the pretty pictures of the pretty people!

Harry & Rhiannon, you are a gorgeous couple and you looked so happy on your wedding day – thank you for making it a really easy gig for me! I hope you had an amazing honeymoon and I wish you every happiness in your forthcoming wedded bliss!
