Real Wedding

As someone who has become a York Wedding Photographer for the day, this one was a bit special. Garry and Amy got married at the Hospitium right in the middle of York, and honestly, it was perfect. Proper medieval vibes, old stone walls, tourists wandering around doing their thing. A few even stopped to take photos of the couple (and fair enough, they looked amazing) Garry and Amy just laughed it off and carried on. Cool as anything. I’ve known Garry since school, so this one

Getting the ball rolling Taking Alexandra and Henry's Rydal Penrhos Weding photos has been an absolute honour. I cannot express how much of an absolute joy this wedding was to be part of. Alexandra and Henry… where do I even start. A super laid back, warm and funny (Like, properly funny) couple and within ten minutes of arriving for the day we felt like we were just another guest with a camera. The day started at Alexandra’s parent’s place in Towyn, but we didn’t join until j

Hanna and Dion's wedding at Plas Maenan featured an outdoor ceremony in beautiful gardens, enhancing the photography experience. The relaxed couple, friends since childhood, enjoyed a warm day complemented by their dog Berti's charming appearance. The venue staff ensured a smooth event, creating memorable evening photography moments with stunning valley views.

A Marquee Wedding at Fairbourne Golf Club Sometimes a marquee wedding just feels like it was made for the couple. Star and James' day at Fairbourne Golf Club was exactly that. Relaxed, full of character, and with enough roc k to keep me, as someone who grew up listening to it, quietly buzzing in the background all day. The Ceremony at Fairbourne Church They had their ceremony at Fairbourne Church. I usually gravitate towards outdoor weddings, but this little church has someth

Some weddings are all about the big, show-stopping moments. Others? They’re about pure, unfiltered love, a bit of mischief, and pulling off a plan that leaves your entire family completely gobsmacked. Llinos and Carwyn’s wedding at Portmeirion was exactly that. No fuss, no crowd, just the two of them, their three kids, and the kind of love story that deserved something a bit different. They got married in secret, then headed off to the Oakley Arms in Maentwrog, where their f

UK Wedding Photographer As a UK wedding photographer, I have the privilege of witnessing and capturing the unique love stories of many couples. Carly and Matt's wedding was no exception, showcasing the beautiful blend of emotions, scenery, and celebration that made their day unforgettable. The day began in Harlech with heavy rain, a classic start to any Welsh morning. But as we made our way to St Peter's Church in Llanbedr, the clouds began to part, hinting at the perfect day

Wrapping up 2023, I find myself reflecting on the array of weddings I've had the privilege of capturing. From intimate ceremonies to grand celebrations, each wedding has been a unique and unforgettable experience. Navigating through everyones stories, I've aimed to freeze genuine moments—vows exchanged, laughter shared, and tears of joy. Every couple brought their own narrative, making each snapshot a testament to who they are as a couple. Venturing into stunning venues, from

Gwerfyl and Matthew's Plas Maenan Wedding Photos Gwerfyl and Matthew got married just north of Llanrwst at the stunning Plas Maenan . The day started as I arrived at the venue, the sun was shining and there wasn't a bit of wind in the air. The views overlooking the Conway Valley set the stage for Gwerfyl and Matthew's stunning Plas Maenan wedding photos. I arrived with Gwerfyl at the beautifully decorated Honeymoon Suite (and I must say... the bridal prep suite with the BEST

Lexie and Greg's Stunning Summer Wedding at Portmeirion Photographing yet another beautiful summer wedding at Portmeirion was a delightful experience once again! The venue holds a special place in my heart, as I've had the opportunity to capture countless love stories against its amazing backdrop. Portmeirion's picturesque buildings and lush gardens always provide a stunning canvas for wedding photography. With each visit, I become more familiar with its hidden gems and uniqu

Robbie and Hannah's wedding at Nant Gwrtheyrn. I do love a good Nant Gwrtheyrn wedding, and this one was a LONG time coming! Robbie and Hannah asked me to be their Nant Gwrtheyrn wedding photographer and were due to get married at Nant Gwrtheyrn in September 2020, and like most couples that year, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, had to postpone their wedding. I have shot in Nant Gwrtheyrn a few times before, but when we finally got to shoot their wedding in May the following y

I’ve always wanted to shoot a wedding at The Wild Pheasant in Llangollen. Me and my wife once stayed there a few years ago, when we attended a friends wedding at Ty’n Dwr Hall just down the road and we were really impressed by the venue. We knew straight away that a wedding at the wild pheasant would be absolutely perfect! So when Ashley reached out asking me to shoot his and Donna’s wedding there, I jumped at the chance. I arrived at The Wild Pheasant at 10am and Storm Denni

So last weekend was my first time at Llyn Gwynant Barns wedding and what a day it was! We had the fabulous Welsh weather keep us company (Started off dry, then got a little windy, then poured down like you wouldn’t believe then, as standard, got very dry, very quickly!) and Rebecca, Dan and all their guests took it like champs! The day started off when I met Dan at the barns. He was already there with most of the guests as they were staying the night before at the Llyn Gwynan

Fi and Nath decided to have a Project Gwenfrewi Wedding in Gwytherin, near Llanrwst. Project Gwenfrewi is a new venue hosting many types of events from weddings to art displays and music concerts (read more about the venue HERE ) I first headed off to Clogaennog to meet with Fi at her and Nath's home. Fi was there with her mum, dad, her bridesmaid and Rhiannon, her makeup artist. The atmosphere was super chilled. A few stories were thrown back and forth and one of the highlig

So this was the first wedding of the year here at Andrew Cockerill Photography. Nant Gwrtheyrn was also a new venue for us! When Megan got in touch and asked me if I would be their wedding photographer, it was a complete no brainer. Yes! I'll be there! As Ryan can be a little nervous, Megan and Ryan opted for a relaxed day as they last thing they'd have wanted was to be stressed leading up to the day. Leading up to the day, Megan and her sister, Georgia, wanted to get as orga

This was such a great Hafod Farm Wedding Where can I begin. Chloe and Jon got married at the stunning Hafod Farm. Being an October wedding, we were expecting a wet wedding, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It started off a little cloudy at home, but as soon as I headed over to Hafod Farm and got over the Crimea pass over the A470, it brightened up (as it does) and by the time we got to Hafod Farm, it was gorgeous. The sun was shining, and everyone was in an amazin

North Wales Tipi Wedding What can I say about Nia and Iolo's North Wales tipi wedding. The fact that I want to do it all over again, says it all. The day started off at Lower Mermaid in Portmeirion, Nia and her bridesmaids were there getting their hair and makeup done, after spending some of the morning at Portmeirion's Mermaid Spa. Meg of Blush Beauty Therapy ( click to visit website ) and Olivia O'Neill ( click to visit website ) were doing the makeup and hair. It was a su

Ruthin Castle Wedding A Ruthin Castle wedding is one that I've always wanted to do. Ruthin Castle is a medieval castle in the heart of the small village of Ruthin, about 20 miles from Chester. With it's grand architecture, amazing staff and barmy wedding guests. This wedding was going to be epic! Tash and Anth first got in touch with me after they'd booked their venue. I was super excited when they asked, as I've wanted to shoot there for years. I arrived at Ruthin Castle n

Bron Eifion Wedding Bron Eifion Wedding Again, I may be a little bias, because I got married there, but I really do think that Bron Eifion is one of the most stunning venues in North Wales. Built in 1883, Bron Eifion was built as the summer residence to John Greaves, the founder of Llechwedd Slate Mines in Blaenau Ffestiniog. As it was his summer residence, it made Bron Eifion the perfect location for a summer wedding. The day started at Ceri's home in Blaenau Ffestiniog, whe

I may be a little bias, because I got married there, but Bron Eifion really is one of my most favourite venues to shoot at. Mary and Marie have always been fantastic. Bron Eifion Wedding Photography When Charlie first contacted me and said he would like me to provide his and his wife-to-be's Bron Eifion wedding photography, I was over the moon as it was the first time I would have been back there since our wedding. When Charlie walked me through what they were planning a very

HAFOD FARM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER Here are some of the highlights from Gareth and Kayleigh's Wedding at the beautiful Hafod Farm in Llanrwst. Hafod Farm wedding photographer Gareth And Kayleigh got married back in June. We headed out first thing to meet the bride at Hafod Farm. The day was phenomenal. Great company, great food and great location. This was the first time I'd ever shot at Hafod Farm, and I cannot wait to go back there! Shooting weddings in North Wales makes me
