Nantwen, Pentre Ifan & Cwm Yr Eglwys Wedding Photography

In April 2024 we were invited to beautiful Nantwen near Newport, Pembrokeshire, to photograph the elopement of Sarah and Glenn. Mathew photographed their special day – it was the first time either of us had visited this special and intimate venue. This is an ideal location for an elopement style wedding – small and unfussy but a peaceful and charming part of the world with easy access to the wonderful north Pembrokeshire coast.

The photography brief from Sarah and Glenn was fun, relaxed and no fuss – just like their wedding! Their wedding day portfolio is full of relaxed vibes, genuine smiles and belly laughs.

One of the joys of photographing smaller weddings or elopments is you have plenty of time to get the right photos and you can allow time to pass for the right weather conditions. Though it was drizzly and overcast during the ceremony, time was on our side and after an hour or so, the sun came out for some lovely photos in the Pembrokeshire landscape.

If you’re considering a wedding at Nantwen, get in touch with us – we’d love to be invited to capture your special day too!

Spring in Wales brings out lush greens in the hedgerows and wildflowers have started to bloom. We captured a series out outdoor photos at Nantwen with drizzly conditions but as breaks in cloud appeared at the horizon we felt the time was right to venture to nearby Pentre Ifan for some epic location shots.

With some time left on the booking Mathew suggested a 15 minute detour to Cwm Yr Eglwys, a beautiful waterfront hamlet on the Pembrokeshire coast. The remains of the church and the hills behind provided a beautiful backdrop as the sun shone.
