What a fantastic day I had shooting Arwel and Llinos's wedding last year. I always watch the weather the night before any wedding and also in the morning, handy to know if you need a plan B. So it was no surprise that it was pouring down when I turned up at the house where the girls were getting ready. Nobody cared about the rain, which was great, everyone was in a fantastic mood, plenty of smiles and laughter all round as I got the prep shots done. Then I headed off to the chapel in Llanfair P.G. to meet up with the boys. By the time I got there the rain had calmed down to just a few spots, to everyones surprise and happiness, it held off for the rest of the day. After a wonderful ceremony, followed by a few group shots, I headed off with the newlyweds to Bangor pier for a nice walk and a few more photos of course. It was then back to the venue for drinks on the lawn and some more group shots before it was time for the wedding breakfast. I have shot a few weddings in the management centre in Bangor, I love the place. It has such a charm to it and is a great place to get photographs. So many little nooks and crannies where shots can be done. So after some very funny speeches, Llinos and Arwel headed off around the grounds for a few more photos, then headed back to start an evening of dancing and laughter. Please scroll down and check out the day as it unfolds. I hope you all enjoyed this small collection of shots from the day, feel free to leave a comment below.

Deb and Al are two of the nicest people you will ever meet, they laugh so much it's great, and they are so in love. When I first met up with them they had such a chemistry together, I knew the wedding day would be so much fun. They didn't want too much fuss when it came to photos, just a record of the day so that suited me down to the ground.
Deb was so excited leading up to the day that she posted a daily photo of a "days to go till we become Mr & Mrs Ginnelly" chalkboard. How lovely is that? Deb and Al's ceremony was in the amazing Powis hall in the main arts building in Bangor university. Such a beautiful backdrop for a wedding ceremony. Afterwards there were drinks in the quad and some group photos before guests headed over to the Management Centre where the reception was being held. Deb and Al stayed back for a while for a few photos of themselves around the grounds of the beautiful building before heading over to join the other guests. And we couldn't have asked for better weather either. The management centre has an amazing tiered lawn out the back so everyone was outside a lot of the time just relaxing and drinking. After food everyone headed downstairs again where there was a treat in store for Al. Deb had organised "Trio Canig", a Welsh vocal trio to performed a lovely collection of songs for him. A complete surprise and it showed all over his face. It was then back outside for some wedding party shots and a couple more of Deb and Al before the evening party commenced. What an amazing day surrounded by amazing people.
