Wendy and Rays Charming family Llanbedrog wedding day

Wendy and Ray’s charming family wedding at St Pedrog Church in Llanbedrog and reception at Plas Bodegroes near Pwllheli was a stunning North Wales wedding day — and yes, I do travel for weddings. I’ve been a wedding photographer since 1996 and the North Wales coast, mountains and the drive to Plas Bodegroes was genuinely breathtaking.

About Plas Bodegroes (Llanbedrog wedding) — a Georgian manor house wedding venue near Pwllheli, North Wales

Plas Bodegroes is a Georgian manor house wedding venue near Pwllheli and Abersoch in North Wales. Ten en-suite bedrooms, large gardens with neighbouring fields (and sheep), and the kind of “middle of nowhere” feel that makes a destination wedding feel properly special.

Wendy and Ray’s wedding was outside my usual Cheshire / Manchester service area, but I love photographing destination weddings — and this one came with perfect weather and breathtaking scenery.

The drive to Plas Bodegroes

I’ve loved my job since I started in 1996 — but the drive into North Wales to photograph Wendy and Ray’s wedding was a reminder of why. Welsh mountains, Anglesey views, the coast — breathtaking scenery the whole way.

Bridal prep and a beach shoot at Llanbedrog

Bridal prep was at Plas Bodegroes. We then took some time for a beach shoot with Wendy and Ray on Llanbedrog Beach near Abersoch — perfect weather, perfect light, exactly the sort of images couples invite me to North Wales to capture.

Ceremony at St Pedrog Church, Llanbedrog

The ceremony at St Pedrog Church was warm and full of family. Llanbedrog itself is gorgeous — and St Pedrog felt like exactly the right place for Wendy and Ray.

Marquee reception at Plas Bodegroes

Back to Plas Bodegroes for the reception — a marquee in the large gardens, sheep grazing in the neighbouring field, and a properly idyllic North Wales setting.

Speeches, dancing and a memorable wedding day

The wedding breakfast, speeches and dancing made for a brilliant evening. Some of my favourite wedding images of recent years came from this day.

“Rick done such an amazing job with the photography on our big day. I couldn’t recommend him enough.”
— Ray, 5★ Hitched review

Thank you Wendy and Ray — congratulations to you both.
