Simon Biffen

Simon Biffen, a distinguished UK wedding photographer, expertly chronicled the wedding of Bronwen and Andrew at St Donat’s Castle. Nestled on the picturesque coast of the Vale of Glamorgan, the castle's historical grandeur provided a great backdrop for this day.

The visual journey begins with images of Bronwen’s preparation, where her radiant smile is beautifully captured. Simon skillfully uses natural light to enhance the warmth and brightness as she arrives at St Cadoc’s Church in a vintage car. A striking shot captures Bronwen holding her gown, with her veil aloft, creating a scene of timeless elegance.

At the altar, Simon captures both tight and wide shots, emphasizing the old-world charm of the church and the intimate moments shared between the couple. As they exit, smiling widely beneath a shower of confetti, the joyous atmosphere is palpable.

Back at St Donat’s Castle, Simon’s photography seamlessly transitions to the reception. The dinner reception is documented with wide shots and close-ups that capture the guests' emotions and shared joy.

Simon’s action shots during the festivities showcase energetic dancing, while a serene portrait session at sunset against the castle walls offers a contrasting scene of intimacy. His comprehensive visual diary captures the tender interactions, creating a thoroughly immersive narrative.

Biffen’s ability to anticipate peak moments ensures that his photography not only documents the event but tells a cohesive story, weaving together the emotion and beauty of Bronwen and Andrew’s special day.
