An Oxwich Bay Hotel Wedding

I loved photographing Gareth and Nikki's Wedding at Oxwich Bay Hotel. It was both a beautiful and a fun filled day. I always love how joyful weddings are, and this one was no exception. It was so wonderful to see how happy Gareth and Nikki make each other, and how loved they are by their family and friends. It was a privilege to be a part of their day and to be able to document it for them. Here are some of my favourite photos from their special day.

The Ceremony

The ceremony was held at St Paul's Church in Sketty. As you can see from the photos it is a gorgeous church and made for a beautiful traditional wedding ceremony location. There was even a choir too!

The Group Photographs

We took a small selection of group photos of the couple's families and friends. I love these ones of the Bridal party and the Groomsmen. After spending the morning with the Bridal party it was easy to see what a wonderful friendship these ladies share.

The Couple's Portraits

Oxwich Bay Hotel is the perfect location for getting some portraits on the beach! We headed into the dunes to escape the crowds and managed to find some more secluded spots on the beach for photographs.

The Reception

The marquee at Oxwich Bay Hotel is a lovely space for wedding recpetions, and it was decorated beautifully. Gareth and Nikki helped ensure their day was extra special with some lovely finishing touches. There were selfie props on all the tables, flip flops for all the guests to help themselves to when it came time for dancing, and they had even hired singing waiters who surprised all of the guests during the meal with some songs, and by the end everyone was up on their feet dancing.
