A very cold winter’s day filled with loads of warm smiles was Rachel and Duncan’s wedding day back in November. Here are a few of our favourite images.
All the images are now available here on the Clients page of our Wedding Photography web site.
If your man is not quite so into having his photo taken as you are, here’s a fun alternative: Ruth decided to have a Take Two session on her own as an anniversary surprise for her husband! We made her a fun book of images and a big wall canvas to give him. This gorgeous sunny session happened some while ago but of course we couldn’t post about it until the surprise was over! And after you’ve looked at the images of Ruth having a lovely time looking stunning, I’ll let you into the whole story. 
I absolutely loved working in this location – we spend so much time on windswept beaches that this beautiful dappled-light wood and orchard were a really refreshing change.
Now then, you’ll never guess the ending: Ruth and Aaron were actually celebrating their TENTH wedding anniversary, and at the time these photos were taken Ruth was pregnant with their 5th child!!! Doesn’t she look amazing?! And what a lovely way to get some me-time as a busy mum. We think it’s a fabulous idea. Now imagine the logistics of arranging a photoshoot and keeping it a secret from not only from Aaron but from all the other children who would have had to keep quiet for a LOOONG time! We had lots of help and LOTS of laughs in the process.
So….if your man thinks you just can’t surprise him any more….we’d love to hear from you.
Another beautiful autumn day! The weather seems to be so much lovelier in autumn than in summer the past couple of years, and the wedding day of Lois and Martin proved it yet again. Smiles and sunshine all round as we arrived at Lois’s family farm to photograph her preparations.
Now then, what to do when Wales are in the semi-final of the rugby World Cup but you have to work??? No need to worry, everyone was watching it of course.
And the disappointment of the final score only lasted a few seconds before we all moved on to celebrating a gorgeous wedding day.
The ceremony was just up the road at the truly beautiful chapel in Peniel, Carmarthenshire.
As is always the case with village weddings, while the groom and guests wait patiently inside the bride is greeted by large crowds of enthusiastic onlookers outside!
We are starting to see more of this lovely practice of serving afternoon tea, or in this case a light lunch, in the church or chapel hall immediately after the ceremony.
Then it was off to Newton House, Dinefwr Park – a National Trust property – for a few formal photos, before a little time with Lois and Martin for some laid-back portraits.
My favourite image of the day, of perhaps the cutest flower girl EVER!! I wish our Loren could meet her, they would have a blast. They speak very little of each other’s first language yet but I don’t think that would hold them back!
And here’s Vince’s favourite image of the day, a gorgeous portrait of a stunning bride. Then it was on to greet the waiting fans at The Plough, in the village of Rhosmaen.
All the images from the day are now available to view and purchase on the Clients page of our Wedding Photography web site – use the discount code ‘LOMA20′ at the checkout before 22nd November to get a 20% discount . Thanks to Lois and Martin and their families for a lovely day, and we wish them all the best for a happy future.
We’re sorry… we put our clients through a bit of heartache in recent months. Please forgive us! We knew our old gallery system (for viewing pictures of your event ) wasn’t brilliant, but at least it enabled us to supply you with cheap prints and it sort of worked.
More recently even their slideshows stopped working. So we’ve moved home. SO you can now see all your wedding pics in full screen, with music, and order glorious prints, canvases, art prints and even mugs from a professional lab with an even higher standard of processing and finishing. It will cost us a bit more to run, but we thinks it’s worth it so you can see your day in all its glory. You can even share individual pictures, the slideshow, or the whole gallery on Facebook, Twitter or a blog. Do pop along and tell us what you think.
To thank you for your patience with our previous gallery we are giving you a 25% off Coupon – just enter ”SNAZZYNEW” before checking out.
The gallery is at wholepicture.zenfolio.com - (We are in the process of moving all past wedding over – it takes about a day per wedding).
Just going back to a wedding from early September that we didn’t get a chance to blog in order, because we were ridiculously insanely busy!!
I’m sure every bride fervently hopes that by the morning of the wedding everything is sorted out and everybody knows their jobs. Poor Lisa seemed to spend most of her morning on the phone – I could have picked from half a dozen such pictures of her! Fortunately there were lots of smiles too while she smoothed out the last minute creases. Here are some of our favourite images from Lisa and Sam’s beautiful day at Caerphilly Castle – we’ve got rather a lot of favourites but I’m sure you’ll agree that Lisa is ridiculously cute, which makes it very hard to pick only a few!!
I love how the castle is right in the middle of all the shops, but once you get inside it is such a stately, imposing setting. This strikes me every time we work there. I adore the windows!!
Lisa was very excited about her cake, and about what everyone’s reaction to it would be. So this layer looks like a traditional romantic wedding cake doesn’t it? With a nice James Bond vibe going on…
…but then you get the Thunderbirds layer!…
…and then the SpongeBob SquarePants layer!!!
We love people who want to be completely unique and add a little surprise into their day.
Not to be outdone, Sam had a surprise of his own after dinner. Lisa doesn’t just love strawberries…it’s an obsession! And these were undoubtedly the best chocolate-coated strawberries you’ve ever seen, a real work of art. I don’t think Sam could have chosen a better surprise.
We had a really memorable day and evening with Lisa and Sam and we wish them every possible happiness together. All their images can be seen by following the Clients link on our Wedding Photography web site.
