Once again I take great pleasure in welcoming on board a fabulous new sponsor.
Every single one of my sponsors mean more to me than you perhaps realise – they believe in my blog and thus keep my confidence high, and their creative talents make my blog look all the prettier for their support and backing.
I recently ran a beautiful Vintage Wedding in Wales that was photographed by this lovely couple, and today I'm so proud to be welcoming the charming Owen and Charis from o&c Photography on board as sponsors.
Welsh Wedding Photographers Owen and Charis told me more about their style of photography…
"We are Owen and Chris of o&cPhotography, a husband and wife team living in Pembrokeshire, West Wales. Although we have chosen to live at the far reaches of Wales, we work all over the UK and enjoy travelling, meeting new clients and experiencing many of the stunning wedding venues and beautiful locations the UK has to offer. For us, its all about capturing the moments.
Those details that form memories and dreams and show the wonderful joy of a wedding day or the love between a couple, a family or friends. We are relaxed, approachable, creative, fresh, hairy (one of us), happy, big and small. We work together, live together, eat together, laugh together, cry together, and love together…"

"As a married couple, we are aware of the hard work, thought and care taken in preparing a wedding day. With a relaxed, yet professional approach, o&cPhotography capture candid shots of the event, as well as those often required group shots and all the special detail of the day, that have all helped in making the celebration so personal and real to the bride and groom."
"Our wedding day was such a special time and full of moments that shouted "us". We take pride in getting to know our clients, learning about their dreams for their special day and we love learning about what makes them 'them". What makes you "you"? Tell us, we want to know! If its a special flower, a precious piece of jewellery, a caring moment, we will make sure we capture it! If its your lovely Auntie Edna or your sisters new baby, we will try to capture them at their best! We love what we do and we do what we love!"

On the day…
"We will aim to fit into your plans in order to capture the best of your Big Day! We take pride in being relaxed, yet professional and will capture images that are real and memorable of your special celebration – from “getting ready” shots to the first dance – we will aim to provide a service that you are confident in. To help us we will call on your Best Man or Ushers to help call guests we will need in photos and to make sure all are included and no-one is left out.
On occasion we may bring along an assistant with us, this will be at no added cost to you. We believe in building up and encouraging others in their passion for photography but we are very careful to choose photographers who follow our own code of conduct. We will always let you know if this is an option."
Details, details, details...
"With all the time you have taken to prepare it is important to remember and have record of all the special aspects of your day, those that make your wedding so different to others. We will therefore always take pleasure and pride in taking images of brides hair, flowers, shoes, jewellery, table settings and any other things that add to your story.
Men, if there is anything special that you require – getting ready shots, detail shots – we won’t leave you out either! There is always an option for “getting ready” shots for both bride and groom."
The consultation…
"Throughout the wedding planning process you’ll be making some big decision and we want to make the photography as easy as it can be. A free consultation is included in every wedding package we do. These relaxed meetings give you a chance to meet us, for us to talk through any ideas you have and for you to ask any burning questions. We will bring along examples of our packages and a selection of the extras we offer so you can see what’s what and what’s possible within your budget."
And if you needed a little further convincing, take a look at this fabulous feedback from one of o&c's clients…
"Owen and Charis took wedding photos for us and also did a shoot with us while we were engaged. All the photos were of a brilliant standard; we were so pleased with the result. They both had loads of ideas for creative pictures and were really easy to work with. They were so friendly with our wedding guests and worked so hard, our day wouldn't have been the same without them! We really love their creative flair and professional approach. Thanks Owen and Charis!" (Chris and Pippa Martin)."
