Elopement Photography in Wales — Mountains, Atlantic Coast, and a Village Built for Dreams
Wales is one of the best-kept secrets in British elopement photography, and it remains so largely because England's mountains capture the imagination first. But for couples who discover Snowdonia — the glacial cwms, the lakes, the jagged ridge of Crib Goch in profile against a winter sky — or who encounter the Pembrokeshire sea cliffs for the first time, there is often no going back. This is a landscape with genuine alpine and Atlantic drama, all within a few hours of most of England.
Portmeirion is in a category of its own. Sir Clough Williams-Ellis built his Italian-inflected village over 50 years from 1925, and the result is one of the most visually extraordinary locations in the British Isles. Coloured facades, a campanile, colonnades and terraces built into a hillside above the Dwyryd Estuary, the whole thing set in sub-tropical gardens. For couples who want something genuinely unlike any other wedding photograph, Portmeirion is compelling.
