Hawarden Castle Wedding | India and David

CASTLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

India & David’s Elegant Castle Wedding

Bride and groom walk back down the aisle as husband in wife during Hawarden Castle Wedding

“Michael could not have done a more perfect job capturing our wedding day. From start to finish, he was the ultimate professional. He captured everyone, every reaction and every moment so perfectly. We are so grateful for his hard work and dedication to making our day so special. We could not recommend him more. Thank you Michael!”

I cover weddings all over the U.K. and was absolutely thrilled when David and India asked me to photograph theirs at India’s parent’s estate in the cozy village of Hawarden, Wales.

After a ceremony at St. Deiniol’s Church, guests walked through the village and the castle grounds for the rest of the day’s celebrations. A champagne and canapés reception took place in a room at Hawarden Castle, followed by the wedding breakfast in an elegant marquee on the grounds. The party was phenomenal too, with India’s dad and two brothers performing a very special DJ set.

I’m thrilled that India and David chose me to photograph their wedding.

This wedding was recently featured on Rock My Wedding.
