Ollie and Sian's wedding : Narnia castle, beach fun and plenty of grooving and moving!

So, as Im putting this blogpost together I can actually hear the accetns and laugh of Sian the bride! Love it! Now, these guys, Ollie (also know as Charlie) and Sian are super great. It might be because they are yet another Brummie/Welsh combination, or could just be because they are great! We do have a little thing about Brummie/Welsh combos! :P

Sian and Ollie were married at the beautiful Manobier Castle (the castle where the BBCs The Lion, The Witch and The Wardbrobe was filmed!) They had their reception at the Castle Mead hotel, literally a stones throw away from the castle, so it was all very relaxed and easy for all of us involved in their day. From start to finish, we laughed. Sian was so happy and giggly with her pals while she got ready, I could have spent the whole day just photographing her smiling.

When Sian and her bridal party entered Manobier Castle there was an amazing male voice choir singing, as only the welsh know how, in tight, close harmonies. It was magical. She almost floated down the aisle to the beautiful melody. There her 'andsome prince was there to meet her!

The rest they say is history. We pootled on down to the beach, again a stones throw from the castle and allowed these guys time to be together, well, nearly, apart from us and our cameras and a few visiting beach goers! Had fun, although, it was pretty nippy!

Then back to the marquee for their wedding feast and a pretty cool "icecream" cake and some proper fun grooving and moving!

Thank you so much Ollie and Sian for allowing us to share in your day. x x o&c

 

Damian and Kate are 1 !!! An anniversary beach shoot, with lots of fun and love!

An anniversary shoot, with sand dunes, windmills, mock wedding and two of the most amazing people ever? You want to know more?
So last year on 22nd May we had the total privilege of capturing the wedding of Damian and Kate Herbert. Have a look here for a reminder of their gorgeously hot wedding.
It was privilege in itself to capture their wedding, but we are now developed a fab friendship, with this gorgeous pair. We hang out in Birmingham and Pembrokeshire, we have braai's and drink ginger wine and mojitos! Sounds pretty good hey!
When we last spent some time with them in Birmingham we had a chat about their first anniversary and decided it was in keeping with a trip to Wales that we all popped on down to the beach and did an anniversary shoot. So we did and here are the photos.
Also make sure you make your way down to the bottom for a little video too, done using the power of an iphone and the 8mm vintage camera app (first time, so still working out what settings are best to use, but these guys are so pro, they make anything look good!)
On a personal note, we want to thank you, Da and Kate for being truly amazing friends. For blessing us with your friendship, for the treats on our bed when we come to stay, for the chill-out times at Croesgoch, for the humourous moments with the "A Gustaf Appliance??!", for crazy board games, for your amazing music Da, for trips to Narbeth Kate!, for the ginger wine and mojitos and for being people we really love and trust You are true blessings from God. We love you guys FACT! x x o&c
