Nia & Gareth’s Wedding at Peckforton Castle
What a lovely relaxed wedding! Nia and Gareth chose the gorgeous Peckforton Castle for their big day, with a late ceremony (4pm) and then a big party to celebrate with their guests. This is probably the darkest wedding we’ve shot, but the candlelit ceremony was lovely and emotional so there was plenty to try and capture. In the evening they had a ceilidh, which is a fabulous way to get all your guests up dancing (check out the post below for the dancing in action!).
Nia’s dress was amazing!
As were her gorgeous Gina shoes…
The beautiful bride…
Meanwhile Gareth was trying to keep a hold of his nerves in the bar…
Nia looked amazing in her dress…
Then it was time to get married!
Time to mingle…
They decided not to have speeches, but Nia’s dad did a quick toast to their happiness…
We had a little wander around the castle with Mr & Mrs…
With the help of a nearby guest in a car, we managed to get a few shots outside in the headlights!
Some shots from the evening…
Nia and Gareth, it was an absolute pleasure to photograph your wedding. Congratulations and enjoy your honeymoon! x
Frame after frame of happiness :~) Good thinking on using car headlights for outdoor portrait lighting! Give me ideas involving a bicycle and a dynamo. Fantastic work (as expected!)
Absolutely wonderful! Who needs light to take photographs anyway!? You made perfect use of the available light and I love the results! Nia coming down the stairs is gorgeous. I love all the faces and the great expressions; every single one shows how happy everyone was.
Lovely set of shots. As someone who never stops moaning about the endless darkness in this country, I’m really impressed with the use of available light. You may have inspired me to leave my flashgun in the bag at my next wedding!
Beautiful shots, that manage to be wonderfully atmospheric without being moody. Great use of what looks to be a stunning building too. Love that opening castle picture!
Stunning work Peter in what looks like very difficult lighting conditions. Nia and Gareth must be over the moon with these 🙂
We are absolutly over the moon with all of these shots and can’t wait to see all the others. We had the most amazing day ever and these capture that extremely well. Thank you both for being such a big part of our day and most of the time we didn’t know you were around which is what we both wanted. You’re two very special people. Thanks 🙂
