Llyn Gwynant barn wedding- Jenny and Richard get hitched
Saturday saw me head into the heart of north Wales for the wedding of Jenny and Richard.
They brought both their families up from deepest darkest Surrey for a very relaxed wedding in a barn on the banks of Llyn Gwynant near the village of Beddgelert.
The bride and groom camped there in the past and fell in love with the place so thought it would be perfect for their wedding.
They all took over a lovely house in the village for the weekend and that`s where I met up with them all (except the boys obviously) and photographed the last bits of the the bride’s preparations. Everyone was upbeat and very relaxed so I knew it was going to be a good day.
Llyn Gwynant barn wedding
The barn at Llyn Gwynant was decorated by about a thousand metres of bunting that was made by the family. The barn was dressed very simply but it looked beautiful.
The ceremony was lovely and there was a pre recorded reading from a friend who couldn’t make it up for the weekend.
Before the rain hit we did manage to get out for some bride and groom portraits around the lake. There were a few spots that had special meaning to them both so Jenny slipped on some wellies and we took a stroll.
On the way back they showed me one of their wedding presents, a large tent called a yurt. Inside was amazing, with a double bed, tables and chairs and carpet. A real home from home. Even I could be talked into going camping like that 🙂
Food and drink for the wedding was as relaxed as the rest of the day. A hog roast (which tasted awesome!) and bear and wine on tap. It was a case of help yourself to what you wanted.
The dancing at Llyn Gwynant
After the first dance everything got very lively with guests linking arms and swinging round and having a right old time. As I was photographing it all I was grabbed by one guest and ending up in the middle dancing with everyone else. Hilarious.
All in all it was a great day and I loved being a small part of it.
Enough of me, and on with the photos.
Here are a few of Jenny and Richard’s barn wedding photos from Llyn Gwynant. I hope you like them. X
