Glamorous wedding day memories

Years of wedding day photography leave me in no doubt that sunny skies and fabulous seascapes  provide a wonderful setting for any wedding. If your budget runs into the tens of thousands and you can afford to bring the entire family and many of your friends to a top end resort in Antigua or the Costa del Sol your photographs will be fabulous and you will have a day to remember all your life.

     Wonderful Hotels with beautiful grounds proliferate in the high end, jet setters paradise venues of Caribbean Islands, Marbella on the Spanish Costa del Sol, and the French Riviera. If money is no object what better way to spend it, than to bring all your family and friends on a holiday of a lifetime to celebrate your wedding. 

       The warm turquoise seas and white sandy beaches of the Caribbean live up to and exceed expectations while the life style of T-shirts and flip flops is relaxed and simple, however the mosquitoes at certain times of year are ferocious, so brides to be should pack anti-hystemine tablets and repellents to be on the safe side.

        The French Riviera is well known for it's sophisticated locations, boutiques and yachts and Marbella on the Costa del Sol has a similiar vibe with wonderful churches and old town scenery.                      

Probably the only downside to both are the hideous coastal motorways and the constant roar of traffic.

    The gorgeous grounds of King Arthur's Hotel in Wales are not very different, the lake is a little smaller but the green countryside surrounding it seems to go on forever. Bring your own swans and, yes of course, an umbrella, just in case.

      However, much nearer to home are some outstanding wedding locations in South Wales: 
 the Castle Hotel Brecon, Margam Park in Glamorganshire near Bridgend and many scenic areas on the Gower peninsula and Swansea Bay.

The weather is cooler and the historic stones are older.
