Wedding gallery of photos & video from Fairyhill; autumn colours & September sun with Alice & James, in Swansea.
London dwellers return to Swansea for their chilled wedding day celebrations at Fairyhill’s glass palace. Alice & James’ gallery of photographs & film highlights.
Alice and James had been together twelve years before they got married in the forest surround of Fairyhill’s Kaleidoscope ceremony room. They've already lived through Brexit, a pandemic and England failing to win the rugby world cup 3 times. Since meeting "that disgusting under 18s club night" their relationship thrived, surviving the Gangnam style saga and a year traveling together; a good test for any young relationship.
From the trays of amber Aperol Spritz on offer, to the family cat lazing in Alice’s childhood garden, everything about their wedding day was as relaxed and comfortable as the best man described the couple’s relationship; "quiet and understated".
Fairyhill wedding venue definitely capitalises on the colours of autumn at this time of year. Boston Ivy, one of the only types that changes colour with the seasons, covers the original Georgian mansion and was putting on a fine display of russet tones among the green. The warm soft light and long shadows of the season seemed to compliment everyone and everything, whether it was the children sitting on swings and (fake) sheep or the way the details in Alice's gorgeous lace train caught the light.
You can't beat a wedding band when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere, a band with a banjo is even better. Along with the Aperol, the dance floor remained full with two-stepping and twirling!
As it’ll become obvious from their wedding highlights video below and the following photos, their day was brimming with laughs, high spirits and an aspirational relaxed atmosphere.
Get your tissues handy, as you press play on the film below, James’ words are straight from the heart.
