A wedding at The Trearddur Bay hotel offers huge variety. I have different spaces to work with and a big bonus is having the bay on the doorstep.

A September wedding at The Trearddur Bay Hotel

We’re late September now so autumn reminded us it was on it’s way. Ceri and Mike had the best attitude towards their photography though and they worked with me to make some memorable images. Key to the success was Ceri’s ability to shine for ten hours. Smiling makes such a difference.

I have a favourite spot in Trearddur Bay that I use because it allows me to isolate my couple. Add a fab car from Newborough classic and vintage wedding cars and we have a winning recipe, even if you add showers.

Owning up to a soft spot

My family and I moved back to Anglesey twelve years ago. We moved back with fresh eyes and wanted to discover everything. We came across Lamia, a family run butchers in Bodedern (you wondered where this was going didn’t you?). We’ve been loyal to them ever since. Ceri is butcher Ivan’s daughter. Of course I wanted her wedding in my diary.

For other reasons I’m sure Wedding Belles of Llanfair PG were delighted to have Ceri wearing one of their dresses. Flowers were created by Acacia.

A Carreglwyd Wedding

What to say about a Carreglwyd wedding that I haven’t said before.

Let’s step back for a moment though. The images below illustrate what Anglesey has to offer, it really is a perfect location for a wedding.

Yes, your guests have to travel but that does add to the charm. What could be more romantic than attending a wedding on an island. Guests usually make a mini break of it and they get to see our beautiful beaches, practically empty too. We have cool places to stay and cool places to eat. I count myself so lucky that I work at some of the most beautiful, unique wedding venues the U.K. has to offer, right here on Anglesey.

A late October Carreglwyd Wedding

Marianne and Tim love Trearddur Bay, they have family there and so their service was held at St. Ffraids. Then off to Carreglwyd. Marianne’s father had organised a special car (have you got a special car? I always ask) from Newborough Classic and vintage wedding cars . The opening shot to the wedding album (see below) didn’t simply happen, I made it happen, I had to stop traffic, all of the wedding traffic. Goodness it was worth it, it’s always worth it.  Images like this are full of narrative and it’s an element of my photography that I’m very proud of.

A Carreglwyd Wedding Album

The images below are of an album I designed for my studio. It’s beautiful. I use a company called Folio to make my albums, they’re based in the U.K. Their paper and inks lend themselves to my style of photography.

If you identify with my photography and you’re planning a wedding, come to my studio to meet me, look through the album and let’s plan.

Jade and Dave’s Trearddur Bay Wedding

Aha, the Trearddur Bay wedding we’d been waiting for. My assistant Niamh and I enjoyed Jade and Dave’s pre-wedding shoot so much, we had far too much fun. The reason for this was Jade and Dave’s attitude, they were completely in our zone. No holding back, no pretence, their attitude was let’s get this right and give it everything we’ve got and have some fun whilst we’re at it. What a wonderful approach to life!

A Trearddur Bay wedding in August.

Would their wedding day go as well? It did actually, better in fact. Some images below are my favourite of the year, for that very reason, there was no holding back. The documentary shots show expressions that I could only hope to capture. There are some genuinely touching moments that still resonate with me. Our time after the ceremony with the limousine was not easy. Fighting the midday sun, terrific winds and passing cars, Jade and Dave gave me 100%. Later on in the day when rain arrived, as it does in Trearddur Bay in August, yet again Jade and Dave were open to anything I threw at them, I had to be imaginative but it didn’t phase them. That’s how it’s done folks, give 100% and you’ll be glad you did.

Celebrations were held at The Trearddur Bay Hotel, Flowers by Occasions Florist, Jade’s hair was by Jess Molyneux, Make up by Faces by Poppy and Jade’s dress was from The Bridal Room, Holyhead.  Photography by Gill Jones Photography.

Kim and Nolan’s wedding at The Trearddur Bay Hotel

My overriding memory of Kim and Nolan’s wedding on Saturday was Nolan’s heartfelt speech. In his beautiful South Walian accent he told Kim over and over how much he loved her and how delighted he was that she’d married him that day. Tears, plenty, plenty of tears at The Trearddur Bay Hotel but no rain, phew! Here are a few lovely moments from their day.

  • About Me

    From my formative days working in a dark room at one end of Carnaby Street to heady days in Sydney working in a large photographic studio I’ve always been at my happiest working in a creative environment. With my globetrotting days behind me and motherhood stretching way ahead, I picked up my camera once again and began to use the skills learnt many moons ago. I love my work. Photography is my day job, my pastime, my interest, my means of expression.
