Well this was a delightful day at Tall John’s House! I have been here numerous times now and NEVER have I been into the secret room behind the bookcase! What an epic venue!

Showers were threatening our forcast for the day but they never came!  We managed to have the ceremony outside in the beautiful grounds surrounded by the bluebells. This ceremony had such heart – readings, poems and even a stunning acapella sung by the brother of the Bride. I got to see my first Scottish Quaich, where a cup is sipped from by Bride and Groom signifying love, dedication and the unifying of two families!

These guys were such a fun bunch to photograph. Look out for the groomsmen photo – I came over from the bridesmaid shot and they were all ready in position!! Encapsulating some cool album cover photo I mistakingly thought they were impersonating some 16th century Sea Captains. Similar vibe I guess.

With some incredible feasting, live band and a Ceilidh, cocktails and fire pits, this wedding was an absolute corker! And by the sounds of it, the new Mr & Mrs McDermott are carrying on that tend into the honeymoon!

Many happy returns to you Sophie & Alex!

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!

Aaaand we’re back!

What a pleasure to be shooting weddings again after this long postponement. I kicked my season off with the lovely Rachel & Tom. It was genuinely such a joy to be surrounded by celebration – a very safe, lateral flow tested celebration may I add!

I got to enjoy the beautiful backdrop of Tall John’s House once again. The sun was shining and the outdoor ceremony couldn’t have been on a better day. Although I did feel sorry for the boys in tweed … it’s the price you pay for looking dapper I suppose!

One of my favourite moments of the day was when I was arranging the girls for a photo outside the door of the main house. I said to get into ‘Goose Formation’ … y’know, the V formation when they fly … but I just thoroughly baffled them! I may not use that expression anymore!! (Is that a saying or did I just make that up?!)

Tom not only gained a wife but two beautiful little daughters on this wedding day! I have to admit, I didn’t realise this until later on in the day because there was so much love and care amongst them all. I love the photo below where the youngest takes hold of Tom’s hand because things were getting emotional during the speeches! What a gorgeous little family this is!

Thank you to Tom and Rachel for having me as your photographer. You gave me a wonderful day to capture! I wish you every happiness together!
