Bronwen and Courtney’s Barn at Brynich Wedding

The Client’s said…

“Becky was the most amazing presence on our wedding day! I genuinely can’t recommend her enough if you’re considering booking her. Her work is just phenomenal and we haven’t stopped crying at how beautiful our photos are. She was calm, perfectly organised and her communication pre and post wedding was the best. Her energy while I was getting ready was exactly what I needed and she made me feel so beautiful with the photos.

I would also absolutely recommend having an engagement or a pre wedding shoot with Becky. We had one and when our wedding day arrived it was like seeing an old friend – Becky had taken away all of the nerves by coaching us during the pre wedding shoot and we felt so comfortable having our photos taken during our wedding.

Thank you for capturing our day so perfectly, Becky! ❤️”

A Spring Welsh Wedding

As guests were seated for the wedding breakfast back in the barn, the bride, groom and I, and their little dog Narla, took a stroll around the venue’s grounds for some stunning portraits of the three of them. I used a wide lens to capture the stunning background behind and make the most of the magnificent Welsh scenery.

After the three-course wedding breakfast had been served, an emotional set of speeches were delivered by the groom, best man and bride’s parents. Before long, guests were spilling back outside to enjoy the cooler evening air. The venue staff had lit firepits and there were marshmallows to roast and s’mores to assemble, as evening guests arrived too.

The sun was setting in a clear sky, which meant we were able to make the most of some stunning golden hour light for a few more portraits. I used an 85mm lens to create some stunning sun flare and used the sun behind the couple to create rim light behind them.

As the evening continued, guests were ushered back indoors for the cutting of the cake. A three-tiered ensemble, guests cheered and clapped as the couple cut into it. Then watched as the newly-weds took their first dance. I always use off camera flash to create drama and rim light in dancing photos and barns are perfect for this, as the dark walls mean that all but the subject is in shadow.

After the band’s first set had finished, it was time for me to depart.

I absolutely love photographing weddings at the Barn at Brynich. It is a stunning venue which epitomises everything I love about weddings – a rustic, informal vibe and stunning nature.

A Stunning Mid-Wales Wedding Venue

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Bannau Bycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), The Barn at Brynich offers couples a gorgeous, rustic venue perfect for their Welsh mountainside wedding. This beautifully restored 18th-century farm is truly charming, with historic stone walls and contemporary touches to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Surrounded by stunning Welsh countryside, the venue provides breathtaking views of the Bannau Brycheiniog, which is sure to wow your guests.

The venue has been family owned and run since the 1960s, starting life as a family farm and evolving into the beautiful wedding venue it is today.  Mark and Cath are the brother and sister duo who still own and run the venue and on-site self-catering cottages. The venue is licensed for civil ceremonies, with both indoor and outdoor options available. The barn’s spacious interior can accommodate up to 120 guests for a seated meal and transforms into a cosy space for evening celebrations for up to 150 guests. Couples can also make use of the courtyard and gardens, a perfect backdrop for wedding photos with guests, lawn games and by evening time, s’mores upon the fire. The wedding coordinators Bec and Katie have many years’ experience and are on hand to support couples right through from the initial planning to full execution of the wedding day.

In addition to its event space, The Barn at Brynich features on-site self-catering accommodation for you and your guests. The beautifully converted cottages provide useful on-site accommodation for a little rest after the dancing has finished. Perfect for weekend-long celebrations for a relaxed, informal vibe. Being only a short drive from Brecon, the venue is easily accessible to nearby facilities. For those who love the countryside, the Bannau Brycheiniog offers a plethora of outdoor activities. Why not start married life with a hike up Pen y Fan the day after your wedding?
