It was my pleasure to photograph the wedding of Ben and Helen last Saturday at the popular South Wales wedding venue  the Neath Towers Hotel and Spa in Jersey Marine near the Swansea SA1 waterfront area.

My first wedding of 2010 was greeted with fantastic blue skies and sunshine for pretty much the whole day. Lets hope this is a good omen for 2010!

After photographing Helen getting ready at her parents home in Swansea, we made the short trip to the beautiful St. Samlets church in Llansamlet for the wedding ceremony. Afterwards it was another short trip to the Towers Hotel for Ben and Helen’s wedding reception.

After arrival drinks I took a breezy and cold tour of the grounds with Ben and Helen to capture some fantastic bride and groom images. Using the grounds to their full potential Ben and Helen were great to photograph and made my job very easy. The venue, grounds and weather added to their enthusiasm (and bravery in the cold,) to allow us to capture some ‘summery’ looking images in the middle of February! Thanks guys. I hope when you see the images you’ll think it was worth the effort.

After a quick warm-up back inside we ventured outside again with their family and friends for some group photos and finished things off with some images of them with their bridal party. Then everyone headed back inside for a warm meal.

If you were at this wedding I hope you enjoy the ‘sneaky peak’ images above and would like to invite you to visit Ben and Helen’s slide-shows on our website here, where from March 19th you’ll be able to view all of the stunning images from their special day.

I’d also like to invite friends and family to leave Ben and Helen a personal message below to wish them a safe trip for their honeymoon.

Thank you for inviting me along to your special day. Enjoy your honeymoon and safe travelling.

Nic.
