Gellifawr Woodland Retreat is a popular wedding venue in Pembrokeshire, known for its woodland setting and relaxed atmosphere. I have had the pleasure of photographing many weddings here and I am a recommended photographer for the venue, which means I know the space, the light, and the flow of the day very well.
No two weddings at Gellifawr ever feel the same. Each celebration reflects the couple and the season, making every day here feel personal and unforced. It is an ideal choice for couples looking for a secluded woodland venue that feels tucked away, while also offering accommodation for friends and family to stay together and truly settle into the experience, in other words party!
Gellifawr Woodland Retreat has so many beautiful portrait locations right on the grounds. From woodland paths and gardens to the ponds, there is a wonderful variety of natural backdrops. If you fancy a mini adventure, there are also hills and coastline just a short drive away, and I am always happy to help you decide what will work best for you on the day.
Weddings at Gellifawr are not only beautiful and full of nature, they are fun. Properly fun. There is something really special about having all your friends and family together in what feels like a small village, surrounded by woodland and open space, celebrating you and your life. The energy here on a wedding day is always incredible.
The couples who choose Gellifawr all seem to have one thing in common. They want to celebrate. They want laughter, connection, and a day that feels relaxed and full of meaning. That is exactly what Gellifawr allows, and it is why I love photographing weddings here, capturing the energy, connection, and joy as it naturally unfolds.
I had high expectations for Christina when I booked her and she still exceeded them!
She was great from the first email when she replied to my initial enquiry and couldn't have wished for a better photographer on the day. Neither me or my husband are comfortable in front of a camera but Christina was great at directing the posed photos and making us feel more relaxed. She's a lovely person to have around - so easy to chat to and have a laugh with. There were a couple of things that I thought I'd forgotten to give someone or allocate a task to but Christina was on the ball and had already sorted it!
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for the beautiful photographs. You captured the essence of our day! Words can’t express how happy we are. Thank you for being part of our day. You’re flipping fantastic at what you do! We are beyond happy!!!
Omg Christina those pictures are absolutely stunning! You are so incredibly talented! Thank you so much xx
