Some weddings have a way of feeling effortlessly special – and Sally and James’ summer celebration in Cardiff was just that. From a heartfelt first look at one of the city’s most iconic hotels to an intimate ceremony at Insole Court and a stylish dinner party at Silures, every moment of their day was filled with love, laughter, and thoughtful detail.

The day began in the heart of Cardiff at the beautiful Parkgate Hotel. With its sophisticated interiors and grand city views, it was the perfect place for Sally to get ready with her closest friends. The suite was alive with excitement and emotion – the soft rustle of dresses, champagne toasts, and quiet, happy nerves. Sally, radiant and calm, stepped into her dress as the summer sun poured through the windows, lighting up the start of something unforgettable.

Meanwhile, James was nearby, preparing for the day with his usual understated charm.

Before the ceremony, Sally and James shared a private first look in the bar of the Parkgate – a beautifully styled space with vintage charm and moody elegance. That first glimpse of one another was a tender, quiet moment in the midst of the day’s joyful energy. Emotions were high, smiles wide, and it was clear: these two couldn’t wait to start their forever.

Afterwards, the couple took to the streets of Cardiff for a relaxed photo session, wandering hand in hand through the city they love. From striking architecture to soft greenery, the urban backdrop gave their portraits a timeless yet modern feel.

Sally and James chose to exchange vows at Insole Court, a hidden gem on the outskirts of the city. With its lush gardens and Victorian charm, it was the perfect setting for their small, intimate ceremony surrounded by close family and friends. The atmosphere was personal and warm, full of laughter, a few happy tears, and the kind of stillness that only comes with deep love.

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued at Silures, a chic and contemporary restaurant in Cardiff, known for its beautiful interiors and elevated dining experience. Here, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a relaxed and elegant wedding dinner that felt more like an intimate dinner party than a traditional reception – just the way Sally and James wanted it.

There were heartfelt speeches, exquisite food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that turned into a lively evening of laughter, dancing, and toasts to a future full of adventure.

Sally and James’ wedding was a reflection of everything they value – authenticity, style, and quality time with the people they love most. From their emotional first look to the final song of the evening, it was a day steeped in joy, intentionality, and connection.

Set across some of Cardiff’s most charming and iconic spots, their wedding beautifully combined city sophistication with relaxed romance.

Congratulations, Sally and James – here’s to a lifetime of first looks, warm dinners, and endless love.

Here is another beautiful wedding…..Laura & Conor at the beautiful Cefn Tilla Court, Usk Wales.
