They were married in the Hercules Hall which is a really cool venue for a wedding, then over to the Portmeirion Hotel for the wedding breakfast, then finally over to the Hercules Hall again for the evening reception.

The weather continued to be rough up to the end of the wedding breakfast then, hooray! It cleared up, and although not sunny it was dry.

Nicola and Lee were totally awesome! They were happy to do pretty much what I suggested and we did get some amazing images of the two of them in Portmeirion`s iconic architecture.

I must say a big thank you to Rob, the best man. He did a great job and even lugging my bags and stuff around for me. He also gave the bride and groom an awesome wedding present too. Just a honeymoon in Barcelona! What a guy.

It was a real fun wedding, a bunch of squaddies let loose for the weekend is always going to be a laugh, and they didn`t disappoint.

Anyway, here are a few images from Nikki and Lee`s wedding. Hope you like them.

A very emotional celebration with pleanty of tears and also plenty of laughing and fun.

Ross is from Scotland so wore a traditional kilt, which always makes for interesting images.

Phillippa and Ross knew I had a sweet tooth so laid out an entire pick and mix sweet table for me. OK, maybe it was ALL for me but it was delicious.

All in all a fun day was had by everyone.

Below is a few of the images from their big day. Please feel free to leave a comment after this post if you wish (click “leave a comment”).

It is about half of their images they were presented with set to music including their first dance.

It is around 19 minutes long but it gives you a real insight into the quality and diversity of the images we produce at Tony Fanning photography.

Enjoy.

Unbelievably it was another hot sunny day in North Wales without a cloud in the sky.

The whole of the wedding party were a load of fun. They took along footballs and hoolahoops and frisbees for everyone to play with outside. There was a huge chocolate fountain to enjoy too.

It was a lovely day and the happy couple were perfect hosts.

Again, I was assisted by my good buddy Gareth Heesom who photographs, fetches, carries, adjusts the bride and grooms clothes and generally makes me look good.

The only dark cloud over this day was when one of my Canon 5D cameras decided to self destruct during one of the quieter moments of the day. The mirror inside the body detached and when I took off the lens to investigate it fell out and smashed on the stone floor. This is exactly the reason I use at least two cameras when I`m working. Gareth let me use one of his spares so I could still have two with me. Cheers man, you’re a star.

Here are a few of the images we created for Liz and Nick. Please feel free to leave a comment after this post (click “leave a comment”)

A really classy affair, both are professionals from The City, but despite that, they are the nicest people ever.

I started off with Gordon at his parents house in Rhos on sea, where they were watching a Youtube video showing how to do up their crevats. Then off the the Quay hotel in Deganwy to catch Auggie and her family who had travelled over from the USA.

The wedding took place in Llandrillo parish church in Rhos on Sea, and what a cool little church it is too. Very light inside which makes a nice change. Then over to Plas Maenan for the wedding breakfast and evening celebrations.

It was sooooooo hot and sunny (we are not used to it here in North Wales) so we were looking for nice shady spots for the photos.  Plas Maenan has some lovely wooded grounds so we made the best use of them.

Auggie was a competative ballroom dancer so has trained Gordon for their first dance and I have to say they were terrific, even putting a lift into the routine.

Thanks for a great day guys, you were awesome. have a great honeymoon and I`ll see you when you get back.

A big thank you too to Gareth Heesom, my fellow photographer, assistant, and mobile lightstand who was my right hand man on the shoot. You were a star, see you in a couple of weeks for the next one.

This time it was Joanne and Gary`s big day. It was absolutely throwing it down all morning but thankfully by the time Joanne arrived at the castle it had more or less cleared up, leaving a rather uninspiring slate grey sky.

The radiant Joanne made the day a lot brighter with a smile that didn`t leave her face all day.

Here are just a few of the images we created during the short time I was with them on their big day.

A very cool military wedding with a guard of honour from Huw`s army friends. Huw is in the Royal Engineers, the same as I was a few years ago so seeing the cap badge and uniform again bought back some great (and some not so great) memories of my time in the army.

I don`t think I`ll be seeing Jenny and Huw again as they are going straight from their honeymoon to Huw`s unit abroad. A real shame as they are a really awesome couple.

I wish them all the best for their new married life in the army.

The occasion was Victoria and Craigs wedding.  The church was in Dwygyfylchi, on the North Wales coast. The weather forecast to supposed to be awful but it turned out to be pretty much perfect if a bit chilly.

After the church service we headed back to Victoria`s parents house for drinks, nibbles and a few photos. After that on to Soughton Hall in Northop, a truely spectacular place to have a wedding reception.

The whole day went so awesomely for the happy couple, I hope their honeymoon in New York goes just as well.

I have added a few images below from the many we shot on Thursday. Please feel free to leave a comment if you want to (click “leave a comment”).

Thanks to Simon for this image of Craig at the the church.

Thanks to Simon for this image of Victoria and Craig with the vicar.

The only thing missing was the weather. It poured down all day with only a ten minute break after dark where we managed to run out for a quick shot of the happy couple and the magnificent backdrop of the castle.

To be fair, Nicola wasn`t the slightest bit bothered with the rain. Her words were “it`s March in the UK, what else would the weather be doing?”.

So, as we couldn`t do much outside we had to get creative inside.

I`ve added a few images from their big day below.

Did I say it was raining?

Thanks to Gareth for this image of David, the bestman and the groomsmen.

It was David`s mum`s birthday as well so everyone sang happy birthday, and here she is blowing out the candles.

This was Susan and Michaels big day. A really, really nice couple who are so obviously in love.

After the ceremony, they had organized a casino  and a magician for the guests to enjoy.

Congratulations guys, you were awesome!

The young lad who was the ring bearer.

I seriously love this shot of Susan.

These three next shots- started off very classy, they then went for a smooch and then Susan said something that I won`t repeat but it was hillarious!

I just had to do this shot! Chips and rings.
