Cally & Rich

Court Colman Manor, Bridgend

I was recently booked to photograph a wedding at the Court Colman Manor Hotel, situated in the foothills of the Garw Valley, Bridgend. I went for a pre visit a few weeks prior to the big day, as I always do with my weddings, mainly to get a feel of the location and to visualise shots that I wanted to have a go at. One of the first things that struck me about the venue was it’s magnificent staircase, ample of beautiful stately rooms all perfect for off camera flash, not to mention the acres of garden space, fishpond, rose walk and even a small waterfall.

The weather leading up to the wedding was glorious sunshine, but on the day it took a slight change with a layer of cloud covering the whole of the area, however this gave us a nice even spread of light which I always find gives a nice mood to the sky.

The wedding itself was perfect, Cally and Rich were totally at ease and relaxed throughout the day, and all their guests looked like they were having a fabulous time. We were lucky to see a fly pass of the mighty Lancaster Bomber as she was returning to Cardiff Airport from her display at the Wales Airshow in Swansea!

Please see below a small selection of images from the day.
