Bridal Prep at Ivy Cottage


Nestled in the grounds of Margam Country Park, Ivy Cottage was the perfect spot for Angharad to get ready with her bridal party. Unlike many bridal preparations, the morning was calm and relaxed, filled with quiet excitement and happy anticipation. Angharads mum helped with the final touches, ensuring every detail was perfect, while Angharad enjoyed a moment of peace, and opening some very well-received presents from lewis, before the celebrations began. The morning light streaming through the windows made for some stunning, soft portraits as she stepped into her dress.

Portraits at Margam Castle (With special guests!)


After the “I do’s,” we made our way to Margam Castle for some breathtaking portraits. The historic architecture and lush grounds gave us the perfect backdrop for some dramatic and romantic shots. Inside the castle, the grand staircase provided an especially striking setting, adding a touch of elegance and grandeur to the portraits. Adding to the fun, Angharad and Lewis’ dogs made a special appearance, stealing the show for a few frames. And just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better—alpacas! Yes, you read that right. The couple’s guests were treated to some unexpected furry wedding crashers, making for some unique and hilarious moments.

Heartfelt and hilarious speeches


Back at The Orangery, the speeches were a perfect mix of heartfelt and hilarious. Angharad’s mum kicked things off with a touching tribute, followed by her maid of honour, who had everyone laughing. Lewis then took the mic, delivering a heartfelt speech about his new wife and paying tribute to family members who had passed away. The best man followed, keeping the mood light with some well-placed roasts that had the room in stitches!
