The Arrival

Tyn Dwr Hall
Wedding Day Stories

A beautiful sequence of events that tell their own story as someone very special arrived at Emily and Chris’s Tyn Dwr Hall wedding.

This story is one tinged with sadness and will stay with me for many years. I have had the pleasure of working with this beautiful family before, and being invited back to capture another wedding was a really amazing honour. Documentary photography is all about stories, stories within stories. The book is the wedding day, whilst each chapter exists telling it’s own beautiful story. Here are the grandparents of Chris arriving….a beautifully observed and captured sequence that I am so pleased to have captured, especially so as this dear lady left us later that year.

Memories are precious….images that take you back to that time…that are missed by many of the family, to be shared for years to come….these are the images I love to capture for all my couples.

I will post now the review that was left for me on Google….left by one of this dear ladie’s daughters, such is the power of images to move those around you and to capture the pure emotion of a wedding day.

“This is a very personal account of how brilliant Phil is, my mum has been very ill over the last four years. When her first grandson of married she was reasonably OK and Phil took some lovely pictures of her and dad. Over the last six months mum has declined greatly but in April she managed to attend another grandson’s wedding with Phil once again taking the pictures. Phil had no idea how poorly mum was but he took a series of pics when mum and Dad arrived, to say they were stunning is such an understatement!! They were so natural, capturing mum’s delight on the day. Three weeks ago my mum passed peacefully away. I can’t begin to tell how much those photos mean to us, everyone who has seen them agree they are so special.

Thank you Phil. Xxx”

This truly is why I do what I do.
