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

Em & Ry

Em & Ry had a most magnificent wedding at Wilde Lodge this October. With golden autumn light and leaves turning orange, we had a spectacular backdrop to play with!

Although this lovely pair are both gentle and a little shy, the love between them was BURSTING! You can see that in how they look at each other … and my goodness, the speech Ry gave, well, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house … at least not from me!

It was a pleasure to shoot this wedding and I got to work with some great people here as always.

Thank you for choosing me as your photographer Em & Ry, I wish you both every happiness together!

Leila & Ryan

What a corker of a wedding this was! Leila & Ryan created a wonderfully natural & relaxed day that I thoroughly enjoyed photographing.

The already stunning grounds of Wilde Lodge was filled with wild flowers and streams of ribbon. Leila had scented the air with her favourite incense for the ceremony. And this ceremony was unlike any I’d heard before – their celebrant took us on a journey, regaled us with the love story of Leila & Ryan. It was heartfelt and hilarious, emotional and uplifting – a real joy to listen to!

We didn’t get a sunny day but to be honest, it really didn’t matter! The welsh countryside looks magnificent in the grey misty weather. Truly atmospheric. And the happiness coming off our Bride & Groom was radiance enough for us all!

A big up to the staff at Wilde Lodge for their excellent service – a stunning table set up – and CSONS for another great feast – as always!

Leila & Ryan, I wish you a very happy future as husband & wife – may the love and laughter continue on!
