Rosedew Farm Wedding | Sorelle + Lewis

Wedding Photography from Rosedew Farm, Llantwit Major.

Sorelle & Lewis's beautiful wedding at Rosedew Farm in Llantwit Major. A stunning venue which made a perfect setting for this rustic-styled wedding. When I did a pre-wedding visit to Rosedew Farm a few days before the wedding, I was taken aback by how perfect this venue was for the relaxed style of weddings I most enjoy capturing. With a rural feel and just a few minutes away from the stunning Llantwit Major beach, it has so much to offer that other venues don’t. Not only that but at the time of year I visited, it was surrounded by acres of bright yellow rapeseed fields, all in full bloom. After seeing that, it didn't take a genius to figure out where we would go for the Bride and Groom photos once their wedding day arrived.

Sorelle happens to be an accomplished and successful photographer herself (you can see her work here), so when we took the booking, we were excited to find someone who understood what photographing a wedding is all about. At the same time, it also meant I had to deliver work that exceeded the expectations of someone who knows her stuff. No pressure, then!

Judging from the amazing feedback Sorelle and Lewis provided after the wedding, I’m happy to say we achieved our goal. Thinking back to their wedding brings back so many beautiful memories of love, happiness, and real emotion. You only have to scroll through the images below to see what I mean.

Hope you enjoy the story of Sorelle and Lewis's magical day at Rosedew Farm!

Kind words from Sorelle and Lewis.

"I cannot tell you how happy Lewis and I are with the images. They are incredible, and they have everything I wanted. You have captured so many moments! Some we forgot about, and some we didn't know had happened! It has made us want to do it all over again. I cannot wait to share with friends and family and, most importantly, get them all printed so I can see them on my walls daily. We cannot thank you enough; you are seriously talented. Thank you for capturing memories that will last our lifetime xxx."

Fonmon Castle Wedding | Olivia + Chris

Wedding photography from Fonmon Castle, Vale of Glamorgan.

Olivia and Chris chose the beautiful venue of Fonmon Castle near Barry to celebrate their wedding. Situated on a rural estate in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan, just twenty-five minutes from Cardiff, Fonmon Castle is often considered a “hidden gem”. The day started with morning preparations before going to St. Mary’s Church in Penmark for the wedding ceremony. After a beautiful and relaxed ceremony with one of the nicest and most laid-back vicars I have ever encountered, it was time to make our way to Fonmon Castle. A short drive from the church marked the beginning of the day’s celebrations. Their day was full of some really beautiful moments. This involved not only Olivia and Chris but also their families and friends. Their amazing pageboys and flower girls also had their fair share of photo fame, making the day a real family affair.

Scrolling through the images below, you may notice a familiar face if you’re into Welsh rugby. Chris’s best man happened to be Welsh rugby union player Rhys Webb. Rhys managed to play a game of rugby on the actual day of the wedding, joining us for the morning preparations before heading off to play and winning the match. Then, he rejoined the wedding again to give his best man’s speech and celebrate in the evening.

Here are some of my favourite images from Olivia and Chris’s incredible day at Fonmon Castle.

De Courceys Manor Wedding | Laura + Michael

Wedding Photography at De Courceys Manor, Pentyrch.

The honour of capturing another amazing day of celebration with Laura and Michael at De Courceys Manor in Cardiff. I met Laura & Michael at a wedding fayre, and they decided to use me as their wedding photographer because they wanted wedding images that captured the essence of their day. They wanted natural storytelling images rather than what they had experienced at previous friends’ weddings. And they did not want their day to turn into some ‘production’ with a never-ending list of staged photos. They knew that wasn’t them or what they were looking for in terms of photography. Fortunately, they found me and loved my more relaxed style of photography.

What I particularly enjoyed about this wedding was how Laura and Michael, their families and friends, were so willing to accept me into their day and let us do our thing without being overly aware that they were being photographed. This meant I could get close to the action and catch everything as it happened naturally. This makes their wedding images authentic and is why I enjoyed spending the day with them and their wonderful families and friends. Here are a few of my favourite images from this amazing De Courceys Manor wedding. Thank you both for such an awesome day!

Kind words from Laura and Michael.

Thank you so much! The photos are fantastic! We can't stop looking through them! Thanks for all your hard work in documenting our special day so beautifully! 

Laura & Mike
