A Warm Spring Wedding at Talhenbont Hall, North Wales
The Setting: Talhenbont Hall in North Wales
Nestled in the stunning Gwynedd countryside, Talhenbont Hall offers a unique mix of traditional charm and modern elegance. The beautiful grounds with lush gardens, stone pathways, and stunning architecture provide a perfect setting for both intimate ceremonies and larger celebrations. The venue’s relaxed but elegant atmosphere was the perfect choice for Aled and Naomi’s gorgeous May wedding.
Bridal Preparations in the Hall and The Conifers
Naomi looked incredible in her modern, fitted dress. The clean lines were stunning, and the detachable overskirt gave it that extra bit of wow factor. It was such a cool combination of sleek and dramatic. There were so many special moments during her preparations, but the one that really stood out was the quiet time with her mum. You could see how much love and excitement they shared as they helped each other with the final details. Aled and his groomsmen looked great in their tuxedos, really bringing a classic vibe to the day. There’s something about a tux that always feels just right, and they wore them effortlessly.
Delicate Luxe Stationery by Keth Studio & Beautiful Florals from Hen Dy Garden Flowers
The wedding stationery, beautifully designed by Keth Studio set the tone for the day with its delicate, luxe feel. Soft tones and intricate details were woven into every piece, giving guests a glimpse of the wedding’s overall romantic and refined vibe. Paired with florals from Hen Dy Garden Flowers, it all perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the venue. The soft, romantic florals Sandra is an expert on echoed the fresh spring colours and added a touch of rustic elegance to the design, bringing the whole theme together beautifully.
A Fun and Light Wedding Ceremony with Welsh Tradition
The ceremony was light-hearted and full of warmth, blending modern romance with traditional Welsh touches. Poetry readings and uplifting singing, much like a traditional Welsh wedding added a personal and memorable touch to the vows. Throughout it all, Aled and Naomi couldn’t stop smiling, beaming with pure joy and love. Their happiness was infectious and made capturing these moments even more special for me.
Stunning Photos on the Grounds of Talhenbont Hall
After the ceremony, we took full advantage of Talhenbont Hall’s picturesque grounds, capturing stunning photos in the golden spring light. From the elegant stone archways to the lush greenery, every corner of the venue added a beautiful touch to the wedding gallery. The natural beauty of the venue combined with the couple’s effortless elegance created the perfect backdrop for romantic, light, and airy photos. I love all that Alicia at Talhenbont has done with the design of the grounds, it really is special. One of my favourite moments was when their dog Moi joined the celebrations. There’s something so special about having your furry friend with you on such an important day! I was beyond excited to capture those sweet moments with Moi, adding even more warmth to the day.
Big Party Vibes to End the Day
After the ceremony, the vibe shifted to pure celebration. The speeches were one of the highlights of the day - funny, emotional, and full of those little stories that make you smile and tear up all at once. It was clear just how much love surrounded these two, not just from each other but from everyone who gathered to celebrate with them.
Later, the stunning terrace at Talhenbont Hall was the perfect spot to unwind, enjoy the views, and just soak in the day. It offered such a relaxed yet gorgeous space for guests to mingle before the real party kicked off. Then as the night went on, the dance floor filled up with the help of band Supergold from The Function Hub, and everyone let loose - laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments. From the first dance to the last song, it was one epic celebration.
Aled and Naomi are exactly the kind of couple I love working with - laid-back, completely in the moment, and just so happy to be marrying each other. They spent the entire day smiling at one another, soaking up every second without worrying about the small stuff. It was such a joy to capture those real, love-filled moments, the ones that truly reflect what a wedding day is all about. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels fun, stylish and totally you, this is exactly the kind of energy I love to photograph.
