South Wales Wedding Photographer

canada lodge and lake

This gorgeous South Wales wedding venue is just a stone’s throw from Cardiff city centre. Nestled in the green, green grass of beautiful Welsh countryside. Lodge by name, lodge by nature, Canada Lodge has a very Canadian feel about it and benefits from views over a pretty lake. Renowned for its excellent customer service and catering for weddings of all sizes.

Hire the Lodge for weddings up to 120 guests, tie the knot upstairs in the wooden-clad Oak room with a civil wedding ceremony or blessing. Later, celebrate downstairs in the Lakeside room where your wedding breakfast will be served and you’ll party into the night. There’s also a large, decked balcony for reception drinks and stargazing during fairer weather.

Alternatively, Rhodri’s by the lake offers a cosy, intimate space for microweddings of up to 30 wedding guests.

There are bridal and guest log cabins for newly-weds and their wedding guests to crash out in after partying late into the night. Relaxed, informal, rustic – I absolutely love this south Wales wedding venue!

Rosedew Farm

Rosedew Farm is a gorgeous, countryside barn wedding venue surrounded by beautiful welsh farmland and just a five minute walk from the South Wales coastline.

The wonderful family-run venue benefits from a multitude of accommodation options on-site. With a choice of barns, lodges or even a tent, your nearest and dearest can make your wedding a real holiday (and may get roped into decorating the barn too!).

Take advantage of the beautiful surrounding countryside for your bridal portraits. Take golden hour shots in the fields of crops or head to nearby Cwm Col-Huw beach for some romantic seaside snaps.

With exposed stone and limewashed walls, big oak-framed windows this impeccably kept wedding venue offers a wonderful space for those looking for a less formal, countryside wedding. Enjoy reception drinks and canapés with wedding guests outside in the sun or by the fireside in the Cwtch during winter months.

humble by nature

Humble by Nature is owned by the BBC’s very own Kate Humble, this Monmouthshire farm has been transformed from a council farm at risk of being broken up into small lots into a thriving rural skills centre that’s keeping rural crafts alive. It has renovated barns and beautiful gardens, meaning that the farm animals and mud are totally optional (but if you’re keen for a photo with the pigs, I’m game!)

Deep rooted in nature, this wonderfully rustic venue has several options for smaller and larger weddings. The Long Barn and Pig and Apple Cafe cater for more intimate occasions and the Lambing Shed or Marquee are available for larger weddings during summer months too.

Just 10 minutes from the quirky market town of Monmouth (one of my favourite places on earth!) and half an hour from the M4 corridor, you’ll get that wonderful middle-of-nowhere feeling but with easy transport links – what a combination! There are also several options for on-site accommodation for both you and your guests, which is always handy for a hassle-free day.

Sugarloaf Barn

With stunning, uninterrupted views of the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons  National Park, this gorgeous welsh farm is a great spot to tie the knot if you’re looking to escape to the countryside and connect with nature.

Sugar Loaf Barn lies just three miles from Abergavenny train station and with walks a-plenty on the doorstep, there’s ample opportunity to lose yourself in the wonderfully wild welsh countryside.

Being a working farm there’s even the opportunity to ride a tractor or get stuck in feeding baby lambs! There’s also onsite accommodation so for those wanting a stress-free day, you can get ready and get married all in the same place – yay!
