In August 2021 I photographed the wedding of Leighton and Nicola. Nicola first reached out a few months before on a female entrepreneur group I’m part of, to look for a wedding photographer as she was having a last minute wedding, and I got in touch.

She got ready at home with her family.

After bridal prep I made our way to the Chapel in Pencoed, I always have to leave before the bride, so that I can be there, parked and ready for the bridal party to arrive in the car. Especially if theres a potential parking issue as there can be with old Chapels and Churches as they were built when cars weren’t really a thing.

Nicola & Leighton had their reception at Tondu House Farm which was really fab for a smaller wedding, and perfect for me as we surrounded by nature and views of the beautiful countryside.
