As a wedding photographer, it is always a privilege to be asked to travel further afield to photograph a wedding and Gregnog Hall was an amazing wedding venue. Located in scenic Mid wales this stunning Country Mansion is in the village of Tregynon near Newtown.

The couple live just a few minutes away so having this stunning wedding venue on their doorstep was an easy choice. I, however, feel honored that they chose me to photograph their wedding and found something that they loved enough about my work to have picked me over the local photographers. Although I don’t charge for travel within England and Wales most of my work does tend to be local so I cherished the opportunity to travel and the drive was simply breathtaking.

Traveling up the night before I met the couple for the first time, we had spoken on the telephone but this was our first official meeting. I knew straight away they were the perfect couple and that their wedding day was going to be one to remember and they didn’t disappoint.

On the morning I managed to take a few photos of the venue before joining the girls for bridal prep at the couple’s home. Everyone was in high spirits and there was excitement in the air as they got ready having their hair and makeup done. Kate looked stunning in her wedding dress and her bridesmaids stood out wearing different coloured pastel dresses which looked amazing when they stood in a line together.

I went ahead meeting Darren at Gregnog Hall, he was beaming and as equally excited for his wedding day. There was time for a few quick photos before the classic vintage car pulled up on the drive with the bridesmaids inside.

Kate’s brother walked her down the aisle to give her away, it was a short ceremony straight through with no readings. Everyone gathered outside to throw confetti and form for a group shot in front of the house before welcome drinks.

We made the most of the beautiful grounds taking a walk around and stopping for photos in various spots, we were literally spoilt for choice. We even went out again after the wedding breakfast for some sunset shots.

The guests were a lively bunch and the party went on well into the night with everyone up dancing and the DJ keeping the crowd going. Kate & Darren’s wedding will certainly be one to remember.

Gregnog Hall is such a wonderful wedding venue, I would love the chance to go back there again. If you are getting married at Gregnog Hall then please get in contact.
