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!

 

 

 

 

Family fun time!

It’s such a lovely thing to be surrounded by a family who, although usually have great distances parting them, are so close.

The lovely Sian hired me to capture some family fun time before she had to head back with hubby and daughter to New Zealand.

I went to the family house in my local town of Knighton to photograph everyone together – playing croquet, frolicking in the stream and cycling with no stabilisers for the FIRST TIME!! It was great fun!

Here are the highlights…

I had SUCH a lovely time shooting this wedding at the gorgeous Wilde Lodge.  It was a super chilled yet rather emotional occasion – just stuffed full of love.

On the 1st of June, Sam & Jamie, along with their children, performed a hand fasting ceremony to solidify their marriage. The hand-made cords included pendants of a Lily and a Robin to represent their children.

There were some lovely details throughout the day :-

  • Home made bunting,
  • Performances and readings were done by family and friends – a talented bunch indeed!
  • Croquet on the lawn,
  • The children picked flowers and decorated the cake at the end of the meal,
  • And I loved the local cat…

The venue of Wilde Lodge is regal, intimate and surrounded by beautiful nature – Jemma and her team provide a fantastic service too – the food looked epic!  I’m rather excited to shoot another wedding here at the end of the month 🙂

 

A massive congratulations to Sam and Jamie in your new wedded bliss!
