Llanerch Vineyard Wedding – Fiona and Greg
It was great to work with these guys at their Llanerch Vineyard wedding. I already knew Fiona as she was a bridesmaid at one of my previous weddings. It was lovely to be able to shoot her wedding too and one of her bridesmaids was the bride from the previous wedding. Fiona and Greg had their engagement shoot in Cardiff, which can be found here. They live quite close to Cardiff so Llanerch Vineyard was very well known to them both. Fiona got ready at their home in a place which I can spell but I can’t pronounce, (I do have trouble with Welsh words). During the morning she was surrounded by her bridesmaids and family who made sure she was as relaxed as possible. Emotion definitely spilled over though once Fiona was in her dress, with a few tears from almost everyone.
Their ceremony was at St Catwgs Church (another that I am unable to pronounce). This was a beautiful church not too far from Llanerch Vineyard. After the ceremony there was the short drive to the vineyard. Here we took some portrait photographs by the lake next to the vineyard whilst Fiona and Greg relaxed. We then made our way back into the vineyard for a few group photographs and a few more portraits too. The speeches after the wedding breakfast were very funny with a lot of jokes about the groom. The kind of best man jokes that only a brother could get away with really.
The Party.
Once the party had started, there was an announcement of a band that had been touring the USA were going to play. The reality was that it was Fiona’s Dad and friends along with Mum and friends as backing singers. To be fair they did a good job (even if they did have to have the chords on a piece of paper in front of them) From then on it was a full on party with everyone joining in.
It was great to work with Janet White Ashby and Natalie Ricciardi again too 😉

Wow, what a beautiful Llanerch Vineyard wedding! Fiona and Greg looked absolutely stunning, and it’s so heartwarming to hear that they had their engagement shoot in Cardiff, where they live close by. The connection between the couple and the venue made the day even more special.
