A month or so earlier, Becca and Alex requested that we meet for a Pre-Wedding shoot to prepare for the big day. It's not uncommon for couples to request this to build up their confidence in front of the camera. These two were a dream, and they opted for Crosby Beach as the venue, with Anthony Gormley's statues - "Another Place". They did a great job and with the thought of a stunning Vale Country Club, with it's incredible views of the Clwydian Range, families and friends pr

So far, this year, I've done a lot of travelling around for my Photography work. From North Carolina, USA, in May to France and Italy next month (August). Not that I'm complaining, but It's so nice to be part of an event so local - Elen and Alex married at 'Waen', approximately 4 minutes drive away from my house. They really took advantage and utilised our beautiful area and its natural surroundings. The morning began at the family farm with Elen, the bride, and her family

Early 2019, I started walking the Anglesey Coastal Path. The aim is to complete 12-15 mile stages, once a month, until I complete the entire walk, ,which is approximately 140 miles. I'm discovering so much beauty on the island - the variety in views is mind blowing. There are many examples of 'Ynys Mon's' beauty in my 'Wales' Gallery (which are incidentally available to purchase). Imagine my delight when Sarah & Sion asked me to shoot their wedding at 'The Outbuildings' wit

You can't beat a Marquee Wedding in North Wales because quite simply, the back drops are epic!!! This particular wedding was located on the family land at Graigfechan, near Ruthin, high up on the Clwydian Range. Once again Peak Marquee Hire did an incredible job. I love working with Brett & Haf - they are so professional and amazing at what they do. As is, florist, Sioned Rowlands and her team at Tulipa Flowers. These two really are the winning combo! Sioned even used a n

Back to one of my fave venues to work, with the team at the Quay Hotel & Spa, Deganwy. Today, the conditions couldn't have been any better, to celebrate the marriage of Olivia & Dave. Olivia prepped with her Bridesmaids and immediate family, in the Bridal Suite, whilst Dave and the Gents and guests embraced the sunshine at the bar, downstairs. A great place to admire the view of Conwy (above) across the estuary. I love it when a Bride and the Bridal Party are ready early. W

Another new church and another new venue - Alisha & Mark's Wedding took place on the Wirral, flitting between Thornton Hall Hotel and Christ Church at Port Sunlight. One of the great things about my job is that I'm always working at new venues enabling me to discover new places. So I have now created a huge list of places that I can visit with my wife and baby, on a day off. Alisha and her huge Bridal Party prepared for the day at Thornton Hall Hotel, in the impressive 'Bri

Ceri & James must have broken the record for the shortest planned wedding, as far as any of my Brides and Grooms compare. I'm sure it was 4 months from first contact to the actual Wedding. Fortunately for both parties, I was free to capture the day. The day began at Ceri's Mums place before the entire party took to nearby Kinmel Hotel & Kinspa for the ceremony and reception. For me, it was only a short, half day, but there was certainly plenty of opportunity to capture a be

Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Price! This was a nice local shoot, about 5 minutes away from my home, in Abergele. The morning started at Susannah's family home, followed by St Michaels Church, then on to the Kinmel Hotel & Spa. All approximately within 1 mile of each other. Less time on the road, means more time capturing the moments and emotion of the day! Whilst the emotional bridesmaids (especially Natasha in the middle) took some deep breaths and changed into their dr

A day's worth of new venues had my creative juices flowing. This day offered lots of new opportunities. I began the day, feeling inspired. First stop, Soughton...to Nikki's family home to spend time capturing the Bridal Party who were a load of fun. Plus the venue was pretty amazing to photograph!!! Check out the interior Waterfall/ Wedding veil :-) The Gents meanwhile had been getting ready at Nikki & Jakes home in Handbridge, conveniently a few doors away from a local p

After a few weeks off , I was back to my Wedding Photography routine, following an exciting commercial shoot in North Carolina and a week celebrating my wife's 30th, on the Italian Riviera. It was a deserved rest before a busy week ahead of three local weddings. Emma & Chris's Wedding was first at Highfield Hall, near Northop, and it was great fun! The lovely bride, Emma, owns her own salon, and it was there where the Bridal Party prepared that morning. Steph Griffiths Make
