family love

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!

John & Sarah

I am SO thrilled for this lovely pair! John & Sarah were apparently sweet on each other when they were young and through the rollercoaster of life, have found each other again and made it official! Man, this has the makings of a romance novel.

We went to the stunning Cannock Chase at Brocton for their couple shots – a little gem of the west midlands! It was such a hot day that the shelter of the woodland was an absolute dream!

This beautiful 18th century farmhouse, made for an great reception venue. The Barns gave us a stellar feast for starters. Other than that, there were doughnut tiers, hilarious yet heartfelt speeches, a matador bridesmaid and a certain groomsman using a tractor like he’s performing on top of a grand piano. What more do you want from an excellent wedding?!

John, Sarah, Thank you for having me as your photographer. I wish you all the happiness in the world … you deserve it!

Sian & Sam

This beautiful wedding was set in the grounds of Tall John’s House in the Brecon Beacons. With the incredible day of sunshine bestowed upon us (Huzzah!) , we got to enjoy an outdoor ceremony for Sian & Sam.

It was such an idyllic day. The grounds were in full bloom with bluebells, the ceremony was heartfelt and funny, there was a genuine buzz of joy amongst everyone. And not more so than Sam! I can’t remember seeing a more excitable groom!

You could actually feel the love emanating for this couple. Everyone was there to celebrate, support and wish them well! It was a delight to be around this merry band.

Sian & Sam, I wish you every happiness in your marriage and soon to be family of three … many congratulations!
