Jemma & Gareth’s Wedding at Brynffynnon Hotel, Pontypridd.


Jemma, Gareth and their beautiful daughter Sophia have recently moved to Abu Dhabi and so this made their day even more special as they were reunited with all their loved ones! The day started at Brynmeadows Golf & Spa Hotel where Jemma and her bridesmaids prepared for the big day. Sophia even got to try on her Mam’s shoes and felt like a princess in her little white dress and flower wand.

Jemma and her dad arrived at Saint Catherine’s Church in Pontypridd in the most amazing pink beetle by Fairytales Carriages. Just before Jemma walked down the isle, Sophia ran down shouting ‘DADDY’ which was so cute – she literally had everyone laughing all day! The ceremony was so beautiful with really touching readings which made it all very personal.

After the ceremony we headed to the Reception which was held at Brynffynnon Hotel in Llanwonno. On the way we stopped at a few spots which overlooked some beautiful landscapes which Jemma and Gareth loved as they wanted their photo’s to represent Wales so that they could display them in their new home in Abu Dhabi.

It’s fair to say the bridesmaids showed everyone how it’s done on the dance floor which got everyone up and dancing! Trying to get a group portrait of drunken bridesmaids was absolutely hysterical – however we got there in the end!

Thank you both for asking me to photograph what was such a beautiful wedding – your family and friends are amazing and I wish you all the luck in the world starting your new adventure in Abu Dhabi!
