Whenever Fresh Photography does a winter wedding we seem to get lucky-despite November in North Wales not being known for it’s tropical climates… Every time we shoot in Caernarfon in the winter (this is the 4th time in recent years) we seem to get weather that is just perfect for pictures!

We were privileged enough to be invited to shoot Rachel and Robs wedding, and managed to pop away from the Meifod for 20 minutes to get some shots over at the edge of the Menai Straights, overlooking the back of Caernarfon Castle. The water was like a millpond and the rain stayed away long enough to get all the shots we wanted. Beautiful couple, beautiful wedding and a beautiful day. Thank you for choosing Fresh Photography!

A castle, a country house hotel, a bike wheel guard of honour and not one, but two amazing cakes! Zoe and Mike planned everything from a distance due to Mike being in the British Army cycling squad and being posted all over the place in the run up to the wedding. Everything on the day was perfect though. Bodelwyddan Castle looked resplendent in the sun, and as Zoe pulled up in a convertible Bentley she was a picture of pure happiness. Mike had made an effort as well (mustn’t forget the boys!), his number one uniform looking crisp and a pair of shoes which you could use as a mirror!

Once the ceremony at the castle was done (along with a lot of pictures taken!), it was off down the road to the Faenol Fawr for the reception. An absolutely amazing day all round and I’m sure there would have been a few sore heads in the morning! The army boys know how to drink to put it mildly… Thank you for choosing Fresh Photography to capture your special day!
