Wedding photography Margam Orangery – Nikki & Mark

Posted on: June 20th, 2019

wedding photography Margam orangery

I met Nikki and her mum a few years ago at a Margam orangery showcase. Mum was pretty adamant that they should book me after seeing our fashion & wedding photography before! This kinda was a case of mom knows best & Nikki did not need any encouragement to book us for her wedding photography Margam orangery!

I always get excited about wedding photography & meeting my bride & grooms but wedding photography at Margam orangery just excites me beyond belief! The photography possibilities there are amazing.  Margam castle photography is just spectacular & the grounds & gardens of Margam Orangery are just amazing for wedding photography!

 

I asked Nikki & Mark a few questions about their big day & their wedding photography Margam Orangery. 
 

How long have you guys been together & how did you meet?

We met through a friend and had our first ever date at a bar in Uplands Swansea. We have been together 4 and a half years.

Tell us a little about your day- how you felt and what made it special for you.
 
We had the most amazing wedding day. As the bride I felt like a princess walking down the aisle in Margam Orangery. Seeing all of our family together was a true delight. Also seeing our two little boys in their suits was the cutest! Margam Orangery wedding photography is just the best!

Where did you get married and why did you choose the venue?

We got married at & had our wedding photography at Margam Orangery in Port Talbot. We chose the venue because it meant a lot to both of us. It was where Mark proposed! Margam Orangery is the most beautiful place and we couldn’t have imagined getting married anywhere else. The location is absolutely incredible for wedding photography too so we definitely took advantage of that.

Who was your venue decorator?
 
We chose Swansea Wedding Decorators for our decoration. We chose burgundy with greens and whites for our colourscheme as we felt it complimented Margam beautifully. They did the most amazing job and was everything and more that we imagined. 

Who supplied the suits and was there any special details or colours? (website if possible please)
 
Dyfed mens wear supplied the suits. Mark chose one of the most traditional suits which was an amazing choice. Everyone looked so smart! 
Who was your dress designer and/or supplier. 
 
Chic and elegant is where I purchased my dress. Linda was absolutely amazing and helped to find my dream dress. I knew straight away that the dress was for me. Would highly recommend! It just looks incredible in our wedding photography in Margam Orangery. 

Who was your makeup artist 
I had 2 different makeup artists. One was Natasha Hobbs MUA. And the other was Tasha Louise MUA. Natasha did MOB MOG and the bride and Tasha Louise did the bridesmaids. Both did an amazing job! It makes such a difference to the wedding photography.  

Who was your hair stylist

I had 2 fantastic hairstylists Jennifer and Natasha from The Empire a Salon situated in llansamlet Swansea. 

What cars/ transport did you have? 
 

Exquisite bridal cars supplied the wedding cars. We had an vintage Royale Windsor Landaulette Silver. It was just the perfect wedding day car & looked amazing outside the orangery & in our wedding photographs!

Who made your cake? 

A family friend called Steffi made our wedding cake exactly how we wanted it.

Who was your florist? Please describe any special features (Website if possible please)
 
Swansea Wedding Decorators supplied our flowers for us. We wanted a wild effect so we had bergundy and white roses with lots of greenery. Delighted with the outcome.

Who was your stationery supplier? 
 
My mother handmade our wedding favours. We also supplied our own guest book and personalised our own pens. I think its lovely to have some hand made touches at your wedding. 

Who was your jewellery designer? 
 
My wedding jewellery was bought for me by one of my bridesmaids.

What brand were your shoes & what did you love about them?
 
I actually bought my shoes from New Look! They were very comfortable and looked amazing.

Was there anything else that you feel made your day truly special or any other comments to share?
 
Mark is from Scotland so it was amazing that his family who live in Scotland were able to travel and join us on our wedding day. Just having our entire family and friends together was truly incredible and seeing our children mesmerized by the whole day was perfect.

Tell us a little about Justin Harris Photography your wedding photography Margam Orangery
 
Justin Harris made our day as comfortable as possible. He did everything to make sure he got the right shots and perfect pictures. He managed to turn a miserable rainy day in to what looked so romantically picture perfect. We were all extremely impressed with Justin’s wedding photography Margam orangery. The best choice we made!

South wales wedding photographer- Hensol Castle

Posted on: October 31st, 2018

David & Natasha got married in Hensol Castle in early autumn. 

As a South Wales wedding photographer I’ve shot many venues & Hensol castle is still one of my favourites. It has so many different aspects- inside & out. It is a South wales wedding photographers dream to photograph!

I asked Natasha & David a little about them & their Wedding day & their thoughts on their South Wales wedding photographer:

How did you meet?

I was working in Yates in Swansea, South Wales and David used to come in and ask me out all the time. Eventually I succumbed to his persistent charm & we have been together 6 years!

Tell us a little about your day- how you felt and what made it special for you.

I woke up on the morning and all my nerves seemed to subside, I Just couldn’t wait to see my best friend waiting for me at the end of the aisle. My brother and bampa giving me away and our beautiful son being apart of it. Every thing was how I imagined it. I would do it all over again if I could! I’m so glad we had South Wales wedding photographer Justin Harris to record our day!

 

Wedding flowers wales in Llanelli, South Wales decorated the venue with all white creams and ivory flowers and cloths and absolutely huge flower vase centre pieces with greenery draping down from the ceiling. It was perfect!

 

Dress by- Maggie Sottero

Make up by Faith Wilde

Hair by Jennie Parmenter

Justin Harris Photography & his team were so helpful. As the hair and makeup was running behind slightly he was going to get my jewellery and even topping up my glass for me.. above and beyond duties for a South wales wedding photographer!

Wedding Photographer Hensol Castle

I was super excited to meet Kate and her mum at a wedding showcase a few years ago. More so when Kate told me she needed a wedding photographer Hensol castle AND that she is a dancer! I could barely contain my excitement! We chatted excitedly and it wasn’t long before I was booked as their wedding photographer at Hensol castle!

Roll on a few agonising years of waiting and here are some highlights of Kate and Gregs wedding photographer Hensol castle! It really was the most amazing day and it certainly wasn’t spoilt by the copious amount of rain that fell! I asked them some questions about them and their amazing day, here is what they told me:

Where did you meet and how long have you been together?
We met 12 years ago in school! I went away training as a dancer and in my last year we got back in contact before I moved home. That was 5 years ago!

Where did you get married?
My grandad is buried in Llantrisant parish so the church is very close to my heart. Greg was in hospital having a shoulder operation in the vale, during his stay we went for a walk and come across Hensol castle, Greg asked did I want to book our wedding! We didn’t view any other venues we fell in love with the place! And what girl doesn’t want to get married in a castle? Hensol castle is the perfect place for wedding photography too!

Tell me a little about the amazing decor- who designed and made it happen?
 
I bought and made a lot myself! I’m the fussiest person in the world but I want to mention Laura smith who workes as part of Hensol castle team, she was amazing with us, she met up with us so many times for me to take pictures, decided where I wanted things and to measure nothing was too much trouble! I was so worried as I had a store room full of things for them to place out! And everything was perfect!
Our colours was very neutral I found a piece of ribbon that was a champagne colour that I tried to match the bridesmaid dresses up to, everything else was white and ivory. It all looked so elegant and classy in our wedding photography!

We got engaged in NYC we kept this as our theme using shops and attractions in New York as our table names.

Suppliers

Moss brothers Cardiff   supplied the suits and I highly recommend them. We decided to go for black tux and braces as the wedding was very neutral we also thought this would go well with the castle and kept classy. It certainly looks great in the photographs and makes a classy twist for our wedding photographer Hensol castle

Where did you get your dress? Vera wang bridal London- I was very lucky girl! It was such an elegant dress that complimented my body shape and the details were just exquisite!

Who was your makeup artist  Kathryn kift makeup artist

Who was your hair stylist Vous by Lyndsey

What cars/ transport did you have? (Website if possible please)

Who made your cake? Again please describe any special features (Website if possible please)

Was there anything else that you feel made your day truly special or any other comments to share?  Justin was amazing with us! He arrived early and was with us until the end!

Wedding photography King Arthur Hotel Gower 

Late last year I had a rather panicked message from Josie telling me that their wedding photographer had let them down last minute & would I be available to shoot their wedding photography King Arthur Hotel Gower! I was very excited to hear their plans as I’d photographed at the King Arthur Hotel many times & it is a truly lovely venue and not far from where I live (you can view one here!). Their plans sounded just wonderful and as luck would have it; it was my last available date in September. I was soon booked to be their wedding photographer! 

I asked Josie a little about their day & those who helped make it so special- here is what she told me:

Where did you get married and why did you choose the venue? King Arthur– we choose this Venue because of its rustic style room which is very different to most venues. 

Who was your venue decorator? The wedding business – My theme was Rustic but with some added glam.

Who supplied the suits? Crush Menswear

Where did you get your dress? Cariad bridal in Swansea supplied my wedding dress!

Who was your makeup artist  Jenna Kelly 

Who was your hair stylist  Lucie Summerfield bridal hair

What cars/ transport did you have? (Website if possible please) Exquisite bridal cars

Who made your cake? Bella cakes- I wanted lots of flowers & we even had a cake topper with Ceri’s car!

Who was your florist?  Blooming bells- they were just amazing

Who was your stationery supplier? Quaint hearted.

Was there anything else that you feel made your day truly special or any other comments to share? Everything went perfect. Justin was amazing from start to finish.

Feedback- was there anything else Justin Harris Photography could have done differently or better? Nope- perfection

Wedding photography Hay-on-Wye, Hereford

Posted on: August 31st, 2017

Wedding photography Hay-on-Wye

I was so excited to meet Joy & Josh. When they told me they needed a wedding photography Hay-on-Wye & began to tell me about their plans for an exclusive, luxury wedding venue from Josh’s childhood with a festival vibe, silent disco & marquees mixed in with a dollop of boho chic!

We soon met up even with a slight distance between us (Bath & Swansea) & I’m not sure who was more excited as we went through the plans & shared photos of the venue & talked about the plans! Joy & Josh booked me there & then for their wedding photography Hay-on-Wye & I for one counted the days until their big day!

I asked Joy & Josh some questions about their day – here is what they told me:

 

Where did you get married and why did you choose the venue?

The wedding was held in the grounds of a truly unique property owned by Lyndy Cooke, former director of the Hay festival (currently founder at hand held events) and dear family friend. This place is very important to Josh (the groom) as he grew up with many childhood memories of him & the groomsmen climbing the trees & playing in the grounds. To be able to get married here was truly an amazing & unique opportunity. 

Who was your dress designer and/or supplier
It was so important for me to have an Australian designer to bring a bit of Australia to my big day. Anna Campbell definitely didn’t disappoint. The store I got this from (Perfect Day Bridal) was incredible! There was only three stores in the uk that stocked this designer and I was lucky enough that one was 20 min from my house!

Who supplied the suits
Josh’s suit was Italian linen and was tailored by Gabucci an amazing menswear store in bath.

Who was your venue decorator?
The marquee was designed and set up by the wonderful Martin Powell of Acacia marquees. We wanted the DJ set up to be like a festival.
We wanted people to be able to have a chilled drink on the hay bales in the sun and then bust out some serious moves on the main stage. Then party away in the silent disco till dawn.
If it was possible to combine vintage, garden party, boho festival into one I guess that would describe the theme. The flowers were a massive part of creating the asthetics. The lovely mother of the groom, Steph, spent months and months planting hundreds of seeds!

Who was your makeup artist
Jess was brilliant and hilarious. She made me feel comfortable and beautiful & also knew Justin, our wedding photography Hay-on-Wye!
 
Who was your hair stylist? 
Jenny and Beth from hair comes the bride were the perfect fit to create the whimsical look to compliment my dress and hair piece. Not only was their work impeccable but they are also really good friends. They took the time to really listen to what I wanted.

What cars/ transport did you have?
Josh’s uncle’s Jaguar! He also kindly agreed to chauffeur for the day

Who made your cake? 
Monkland cheese dairy
We wanted a local dairy to provide the cheese and we decorated it.
We were lucky enough for our guests Bronwyn and Marion Lally to make the lovely Victoria sponge.

Who was your florist? 
 The florist Debbie from the hibiscus room carefully selected the most beautiful roses that matched the bridesmaid dresses perfectly. We wanted some blues in there to match the grooms tie. The bridesmaids absolutely loved their garlands!
Who was your jewellery designer? Please describe any special features (Website if possible please)
 

The lovely mr Katz from E Katz & co jewellers in Hatton Garden, Chancery Lane. This place was of particular importance as it was where the grooms father bought the grooms mothers ring and also where josh bought my engagement ring.

Tell us a bit about your wedding photography Hay-on-Wye 
 
Justin was absolutely brilliant as a wedding photographer Hay-On-Wye and I have already recommended him to people! From start to finish he has been amazing. His friendly approach and attention to detail as well as his amazing photography skills meant we have the wedding photographs we wanted an will always cherish.
