Hilltop wedding venue offers stunning scenery

Back in November the wedding fair at Llechwen Hall Hotel gave me a chance to meet the team and see their wedding venue facilities, while scouting good locations for a shoot.
Llechwen Hall hotel is well suited as a wedding venue. The hotel is set on a scenic hilltop above Pontypridd and overlooking the South Wales valleys where the views and backdrops are stunning. The drive up the access road is beautiful, a winding climb that has a magical quality to it (particularly if you do it in a classic car).
The wedding fair was held in late November when short daylight hours and rainy weather put a limit to our shoot. I was a bit pushed for time as we’d arranged the shoot at short notice so I got a couple of shots of the dress for Caru Brides of Caerphilly (who I was shooting for); and a couple of the car and flowers (kindly loaned by The Cottage Garden Florist, Nelson.

With light drizzle making things a bit damp outside (and being November it was cold and getting dark by 3pm) we moved inside the hotel to get these shots:

A roaring fire in the lounge gave the room a cosy feel so we took the opportunity to pose our model in the fireside chairs.
