I love my job as a South Wales wedding photographer, especially when I get to capture
Gellifawr wedding photography. Award-winning Gellifawr Woodland Retreat is situated in
the Pembrokeshire National Park and consists of 12 idyllic acres of magical woodland, ponds
and landscaped gardens. Their wedding village is made up of beautiful outdoor spaces
alongside lovingly renovated buildings to create the perfect wedding experience.
At Gellifawr’s heart is their impressive country house with a roaring log fire, and characterful
nooks and crannies for you and your guests to explore. It has an in-house bar that is the
perfect blend of old-world charm with a modern twist.
When I capture Gellifawr wedding photography, my day often begins going between their
two salon spaces that they have created as the perfect place for the wedding parties to
convene and get ready.
For wedding ceremonies, they offer both indoor and outdoor spaces. Their luxury indoor
ceremony space is called Seren Yn Codi which roughly translates to English as elevated star.
Beautifully clean and modern with rustic vibes. It is lit beautifully with modern art deco-style
cylinder chandeliers.

This blank canvas can be decorated to your taste or left pared back for a natural Scandi look.
As its name suggests, it is cleverly elevated from the ground to ensure a magical view of the
valley beyond.
For outdoor ceremonies, Gellifawr offers an enchanting woodland ceremony where you get to
say ‘I do’ under towering trees which serve as the perfect al-fresco backdrop. There’s a
handcrafted wooden arch which lends itself perfectly to floral decoration for a perfect
outdoor ceremony.
Drinks receptions can take place indoors or in good weather outside on the terrace. If the
weather is really on your side, you can enjoy your wedding reception outside on a long
elegantly decorated trestle tables European style.
When I capture wedding photography at Gellifawr, I love whisking my couples away for a
mini photoshoot around the beautiful landscaped gardens and serene ponds of Gellifawrs
grounds. And the magnificent views of the mountains make an idyllic backdrop for amazing
wedding photos.
