Get ready to swoon because Nicola and Michael's wedding at Oldwalls Gower in March was nothing short of magical! As a South Wales Wedding Photographer, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing every heartfelt moment, and let me tell you, it was a day filled with love, laughter, and pure joy.
Getting Ready: The Bridal Squad Pre-Game
The day began with a flurry of excitement as I arrived at Mulberry House to capture Nicola and her bridal party getting ready. I was joined for the day by the talented Craig from Pristine Videography. Surrounded by her bridesmaids, mum and daughters, the air was buzzing with anticipation. With the talented hands of Amy Louise Makeup Artist and Katie Helen Bridal Hair, the ladies were glammed perfectly. But the real magic happened when Nicola shared an emotional first look with her father – such a beautiful and touching moment!
A Tearjerker Ceremony: Love in the Air
Fast forward to the main event – the ceremony. Michael, standing at the top of the aisle, his heart pounding as he watches his two beautiful daughters make their way down the aisle, followed by his stunning bride, Nicola. Their son acts as ring bearer. The love in the room is palpable, and when Michael's emotions get the best of him, there's not a soul who isn't reaching for the tissues. It's the kind of moment that reminds you why you believe in love.
Capturing Candid Moments
After the "I do's", it's time to capture special moments such as the confetti toss and family photos. Inside, I captured some gorgeous candid moments of guests. As a South Wales Wedding Photographer, my mission is to freeze these fleeting moments in time, ensuring that the memories last a lifetime.
Love on Film
Then came my favorite part – strolling through the grounds with Nicola and Michael, capturing their love in romantic couple portraits. The simplicity and elegance of their surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for their love to shine.
Heartfelt Speeches & Flower Girl Charm
Back inside, the reception is in full swing, and it's time for the speeches. From heartfelt to hilarious, each word spoken is a testament to the love and support surrounding Nicola and Michael on their special day. But the real standout? Eight-year-old Caitlyn, the couple's daughter and flower girl, who steals the show with a speech that brings tears to everyone's eyes. It's moments like these that remind us why family is everything.
Golden Hour Glam
As the sun began to set, we seized the opportunity for golden hour photos with the bridal party, capturing their infectious energy and genuine camaraderie. And of course, we couldn't miss the chance for more romantic photos with Nicola and Michael bathed in the warm, golden light.
Let's Get This Party Started
With the formalities out of the way, it's time to let loose and dance the night away. The couple kick things off with their first dance and soon the dance floor is packed, with music from the incredible The Hat and the Fiddle band.
Firework Finale
Just when you think it can't get any better, cue the fireworks! As the night sky explodes in a kaleidoscope of colour and light, Nicola and Michael share a quiet moment together, surrounded by the love of their three children. It's a fitting end to a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
